Editing Advanced technique

An '''advanced technique''' is an action or series of actions that are complex and/or technically demanding enough to require a considerable amount of skill, which results in a benefit to the [[metagame]] of a character.

Advanced techniques mainly differ from standard techniques in that their presence was not directly mentioned in any official capacity prior to release, usually due to not being discovered or expected to be a big deal by the game's designers. This often manifests itself in the form of advanced techniques being results of oversights or [[glitch]]es, such as [[wavedash]]ing and [[momentum cancelling]]. In the broader context of video games in general, their use is an example of what is known as {{s|Wikipedia|emergent gameplay}}. A strong or properly-applied advanced technique can radically alter a character's metagame - for example, the [[short hop fast fall l-cancel]] provides a significant speed boost to a player's aerial assault and helps to patch up holes in slower characters' offenses. Certain characters rely heavily on their specific advanced techniques, such as the [[Ice Climbers]]' [[chain grab]]s and [[desynch]]ing techniques, and {{SSBM|Fox}}'s [[waveshine]] combos in ''Melee''. Reliance of these techniques to shape top-level metagames and their often dubious origins is a common source of discontent among new and casual players.
