might be helpful to rename the video to the actual technique so that new players can find it later on. (I can appreciate some good clickbait tho)

[@vegetarblessb]

Or at least in the tags

@sleepy According to the new Veritasium video, it will be able to help more people by using clickbait.

[@CrispyGFX]

People who would find this useful aren't the target audience. Clickbait drives the views.

I'm sure they'll consider title changes dependent on what KZbin claims their real-time impression rates are.

[@parkersmith4621]

Really? I can't. Clickbait like this is fucking annoying and grimey

It would have been funny to do an aprils fools with rolling for movement - feels like some of my netplay experience though :^)

[@mrmolasses5888]

Ever since I started watching ssbm tutorials I’ve gotten much better at melee even when using a lower mid tier character, that being Mario. And despite what everyone and everything say, I’m not switching to doc. Thanks a lot ssbm tutorials

[@erysecret]

I think a lot of people don't realize that doc and mario have *completely* different play styles. Because of their kill setups and knockback values Mario is way more combo oriented compared to Doc's more toned back, zoning game (with pills.) Not to mention, for this reason mario is way more fun to play against :) Edit: I would say Captain Falcon is closer to mario than Doc is, though that might be a stretch

[@goosekhan6396]

People have said pikachu is a poor mans fox, I think a likewise analogy would be that mario is the poor mans falcon

[@mrmolasses5888]

Funnily enough when I feel like playing a better character I like playing falcon

[@BirdAsBond]

Good choice! However I *do* advise you to at the very least pick up a secondary pocket Doc. You never know when he'll come in handy lol.

[@spaghettiking7312]

Been playing Melee competitively for years, and I am still impressed that there's new applications showing up.

[@TurbinationE]

This isn't new

[@dippn7047]

@@TurbinationE people knew that you could crouch to cancel a dash for as far back as I can remember (began in 2005). But using it was pretty strictly used to downsmash out of a dash animation or for sheik ducking a hitbox/cc grabbing. The closest thing I can remember to this would be the Fast Like Teee Grab and that was closer to 07 or 08 if memory serves. But once again, that was using it as part of a larger technique. I have no doubt people have used it as a general movement option but for some people who only really follow the tournaments and occasionally hop on netplay to relive the glory days theres a lot of small things that have become available that you would only ever know about if you talked to the right person at the time. Not sure the point of this reply tbh, just felt like blabbin while I wait for my laundry to finish

[@notwhoyouare1543]

the act of crouching to extend the dash dance/crouching and dashing in general is part of an old school technique called cactuar dash dancing

[@averagejoessb3110]

I just started doing this recently, it's crazy how good and important this is, especially as sheik.

[@aplsed]

For people wondering what the video is about before playing it, it teaches you how to Dash out of Crouch

[@stayontrack]

thanks, now if only they would've put that in the title...

[@hibernate44]

Wow, I’ve been struggling to dash out of crouch for months, been doing direct. Can’t wait to try out this method

[@senorbuen0]

this might be a long shot but I haven't found any in depth guides for defense which I think is an overlooked skill and very important to have. Would be nice to have spark teaching this :)

[@rkraccoons]

Spark could be reading a legal document and still make it entertaining. He's just a naturally funny guy

[@ParagonPKC]

When asked about what he did around STR (where alot of us first heard of him in socal, he beat plup going doc random 3 times in a row) he said: uh, there's a Wendy's

nice vid spark, thanks for the tips :)

[@samuelbeall3787]

Now I understand how people dash longer. Thanks!

[@seefourdee]

Nice to hear from ya Spark!

[@eric_ssbm_28]

the thing is my controller can pivot without problems, dash ooc(out of crouch idk if its really written like that) and dashback, what the the "issue" with my controller

[@shadowdragonx2]

I love seeing these videos again

[@thevorace]

Been doin this for years. Added bonus when you crouch under a grab.

[@stayontrack]

maybe it's time to do something else if you've been doing this for years. I can suggest taking a shower and maybe even going outside if you think you will be able to survive the extreme shock to the system.

[@heatnova]

Hey I see this dash out of crouch tech in a smash fan game called ssf2, we call it dash cancel

[@NesDaKid]

this game just keeps on giving...infinite content!

[@Tiznado]

thank you for the upload, now i just have to stop getting dashback grabbed

[@flop22222]

Toph’s prophecy is coming to fruition

[@beluga_1776]

wait what is the capacitor mod? Do I already have that if i play on slippi?

[@Bones0]

No, it is a physical mod that has to be soldered into your controller. It limits the input of your stick when it goes a little too far after you release it quickly.

[@stayontrack]

you install sweaty nerd greasy shit on the motherboard, falco main friend of mine does it for all the braindead spacies round my area

Hello ssbm tutorials I would to know if pivoting could be one of the nexts videos.

[@bladefox5082]

Yay I get to learn more about melee from SSBM Tutorials!

[@PooCrizzap]

Thanks!

[@werewer54]

Is this that much better than dashing forwards out of crouch first then dash back? I feel like the timing is a bit tight.

[@ariesomega2487]

You lose at best 2 frames (if frame perfect) and you also shift your hurtbox in one direction which opens up easy hits for your opponent

[@herzogwolf7225]

Overall this video says, that 1 tech is usefull more people should Use it. What a way to bring up the cealing :D

[@lucalyons-sosa9843]

I think we all have an input that we historically just suck at and one that comes super naturally, regardless of practice. For me, I suck at turnaround uptilts but God damn I can dash out of crouch.

[@Back2Zack]

Agreed. I can shield drop like a monster and ledge dash fairly well with very little practice, but can barely ever jc shine in a match and i actually practice that. It's annoying.

[@stayontrack]

@@Back2Zack grounded jc shine is harder than shielddrop and ledgedash so not surprising

[@Back2Zack]

@@stayontrack yeah maybe about the shield drop. Still some people have faster fingers but worse rhythm or timing.

[@spenceranderson9965]

I feel like I didn't entirely get it how does this extend dash dance range with sheik?

[@thejoester45]

So you can cancel dash into another dash but you cant cancel run into a dash in the opposite direction, but you can crouch out of run and then dash back out of the crouch. It's useful for short dash range characters like Shiek and Samus since they transition into run very quickly after a dash and you want to be able to play at a larger variety of spacings.

[@GoesTeeVisuals]

I really thought Marth was going to Fsmash tipper that Pichu 😱

[@gusmcbean9474]

Thought this was gonna be a troll video about crawling

[@darienmoncree3980]

I think I made a similar comment about this in the last video, but I definitely learned stuff in this video

[@britrocks1]

How exactly does it extend your dash dance?

[@SSBMTutorials]

you can run further than your normal dashdance range, but then still turn around very quickly to grab or attack. dashing out of crouch is just a few frames slower than actual dashdancing but its still very fast and usually throws people off-guard since they don't expect you to be able to turn around at all when you've gone past your dashdance range

[@Hakusheri]

Rolling along the gate causes me to get a dash turnaround. What am I doing wrong?

[@SSBMTutorials]

control stick has to be straight down first to go into the crouching animation before you roll back along the gate

[@Hakusheri]

@@SSBMTutorials thanks man

[@Cee-looo]

Quarter circles?

[@sonicfan2015]

Thanks

[@jonathandwilliams2885]

How is this different from cactuar dashing?

[@Cardboxx]

This(dashing out of crouch) is part of cactuar dashing cactuar dash = cancelling the run animation with a crouch, then dashing ot of crouch. this video is focusing on dash out of crouch in general(how to do it and other possible uses)

[@Chr1sT0fu]

Ok this kinda blew my mind because I'm a dumbass and when dash dancing, whenever I went I to a run I'd always "reset" my dash dance by wavedashing once but this video made me realize I could literally just crouch then dash lol

[@TurbinationE]

Yeah, wavedash down is really overrated in general

[@normalrachael]

that’s the cactuar dash

[@invalidssb]

Spark pog!

[@ElDrHouse2010]

this is literally just cactuar dashing tho ???

[@fernandaps2]

Quarter circles in smash lol

[@OmniNero]

For whatever reason, I find it easier to dash forward out of crouch than dashing backwards out of crouch. Doesn't matter which way I'm facing. Any dash out of crouch that is away from where I'm currently facing, I always seem to mess up. Man, I need to gitgud.

[@TurbinationE]

Because it is easier. You can dash forward during the uncrouching animation, but you cannot dash back. Try crouching, then quickly letting go of the stick and tapping forward. Now, try the same thing but tapping backwards.

[@OmniNero]

@@TurbinationE Gotcha. Thanks for the info. Does rolling the stick from down to left/right skip over uncrouch animation? Do you know how that works?

[@Cardboxx]

@@OmniNero once your stick goes above a certain Y value you'll start standing up (preventing DashBack OutOfCrouch) so with the straight to the side method you have to do frame 1 fully down frame 2 fully to the side if you'e to slow it'll go frame 1 fully down frame 2 not quite to the side yet, but stick high enough to trigger uncrouch animation frame 3 to the side but stuck in the "no dashback" state since you can't never know when the game will poll input for the next frame, it's impossible to be consistent(if you start moving the stick 2 ms before"next frame", you'd have 2 ms to go from down to the side) by going low with your stick, you minimize the time spent in the "tilt zone" so you could be frame 1 crouch frame 2 not fully to the sides, but stick low enough to not trigger "uncrouch" frame 3 stick fully to the side(dashback)

[@Cardboxx]

web.archive.org/web/20171016055544im_/i.imgur.com/oAROhEq.png (credits to kadano for the stick map) idk if youtube will shadowban this comment because of the link bu basically, you need to go from crouch zone to smash turn zone, without the game polling you when your stick is in tilt turn. going low makes the danger zone smaller

[@OmniNero]

@@Cardboxx Gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks.

hi

[@taylorbee4010]

Tekken ish

[@DoomJoy666]

For the crouching aspect of this. IE running and instantly crouch canceling, you can hold c stick down while running and you can achieve the same thing, it asdi's

[@orzaedits]

asdi down is not the same as crouch canceling. holding c stick down does not make you crouch cancel

[@omarg2079]

Not always applicable. For example, get up attacks will knock down fox at 0% if he asdi's down, but he'll CC it if he crouches.

[@bootleg6595]

Lol

Stop with the fucking clickbait. This is not at all a replacement for dash dancing as the thumbnail suggests. I wouldn't even really call it a movement option, it's more of a punish game technique.
