Summary
Dash Smash is an advanced technique that allows players to execute a forward smash almost instantly out of dash. It combines the separate advanced techniques of Foxtrot, Foxtrot Cancel/Stutter Step/Kara Smash (can also optionally combine with Extended Dash Dance).
Requirements
- Must be playing a character with a useful Foxtrot (e.g., Sonic's Foxtrot is too long for this technique to be useful)
How To Perform
- Foxtrot in any direction by inputting a series of successively timed short dashes across the stage (timing varies between characters).
- Note: you can also reverse the Foxtrot direction using the Extended Dash Dance advanced technique if you wish to mix up your movement.
- Interrupt the very beginning animation of one of these dashes with a forward smash in either direction. This is a Kara Smash, aka a Foxtrot Cancel/Stutter Step forward smash attack.
- If the timing is performed successfully, your Foxtrot dashing will be canceled into a forward smash.
Uses
- Essential spacing, movement and mixup option for characters with a good Foxtrot
Pros & Cons
- Easy to execute
- Quick positioning and execution of forward smash on stage compared to waiting for dash to end
- Combined with foxtrot movement and extended dash dances, can become difficult for opponents to predict
