Smash 4 notes

Smash 4 notes:

all notes assume tap jump OFF

OUT OF SHIELD (OoS):
upsmash - jump cancel into A while holding up
	input: (hold shield) hold up jump-A (A should be right after jump)
up-b - jump cancel into B while holding up
	input: (hold shield) hold up jump-B (B should be right after jump)



AERIAL MOVEMENT:
*turn around - jumping forward but shooting b-move other direction while moving original direction
	input: (jumping forward) < (let go) b

*b-reverse (forward momentum) - facing back, jump backwards, but shoot b while moving forwards
	input: (face left) (jump left) b> (press > right after b; only have few frames)
*b-reverse (backward momentum) -
	input: (face left) (jump right; ^ > [> pressed after jump]) b> (press right)
b-reverses can be done on ground (remove jumps from input)**

*wavebounce (forward momentum) -backjump but shooting b while moving forward
	input: (face right) (jump left; ^ <) <b>
*wavebounce (backward momentum) - a turned around b-reverse; jump forward but shoot b moving backwards
	input: (face right) (jump right) <b>
difference between b-reverse and wavebounce is which way you're facing to begin with. if facing away from enemy, use a b reverse (face & run backwards but shoot while moving fowards). if facing towards enemy, use wavebounce (face forward & run backward, but shoot while moving forward).

GROUND MOVEMENT:
foxtrot - dash into second dash during ending frames of 1st dash
	input: > wait >
	use: can smash attack during beginning of foxtrot
	   - can also crouch durign end of foxtrot to use d-tilt (eg: Cloud)
dash dancing - dash side to side on spot by dashing other direction before ending frame of dash
	input: ><><><><><><><><
extended dash dancing - dashing side to side; melee dash dancing
	input: > >< (<> >)< <>
dash cancel - cancel dash into something else
	upsmash: jump cancel into up-a. jump ^a
	shield: just press shield
	battacks: press the b move
	tilts: can't cancel from dash, see pivot.
platform cancel - land near a ledge and slide off ledge for no ending lag
	input (aerials) - airdodge into the edge of the ledge and slide off
	input (up-b) - land with up-b near edge of the ledge & slide off
lag canceling - auto canceling (removing ending frame lag) from aerials
	input: land during certain frame of aerials. check: http://kuroganehammer.com/Smash4/
pivot - while moving forward turning to face the opposite direction with a move
	input: (dashing >) < a/b/grab/cstick
	while dashing forward, press opposite direction plus A, B, Z, or c-stick
perfect pivot (PP) - during first few frames of dash, press other direction & turn around without lag
	input: >< (REALLY fast). end up facing <
	use: PP behind you to do a ghetto-wavedash. aka: dash > then < to slide backwards
	     while facing forwards
pivot dash - stationary turnaround using a dash. basically a PP that doesn't move you.
	input: >< (slower than PP; will often get when messing up PP)
	use: after pivot dash, press Z for 'boost grab' or A for 'dash attack'
		-the grab will come out like 1-3 character models ahead of you, same with dash attack
		-can sometimes go through enemy if too close.
