A '''hilldash''' is a [[wavedash|pseudo-wavedash]] advanced technique for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is done by jumping (or already being in the air), then, by whatever method, gaining momentum towards a hill or slant in order to land on it and use the momentum to slide across the ground and up the hill. Characters with delayed double-jumps, such as Ness or Yoshi, can do it by jumping, then quickly double jumping into the hill to gain momentum.  Another method of doing the hilldash is by using some sort of speed-altering move, such as Captain Falcon's [[Raptor Boost]]. There are also other methods, like {{SSBB|Peach}} [[float]]ing into a hill.

The hilldash has multiple applications. The most direct application is sliding along the ground quickly and, sometimes, in a standing position. However, the slide is not very far for all characters, and lag from the hilldash, along with hard set-up for a hilldash and slow speed for some characters makes the slide more work than it's worth. Another, possibly more useful application for some characters could be the immediate transition from a dashing motion to a standing position, opening up options such as [[smash attack|smashes]]. The hilldash can also be used for [[mindgames]]. However, the hilldash is only usable on certain stages with slopes, most notably [[Corneria]] and {{SSBM|Yoshi's Island}} from ''Melee''. It can also be done on [[Lylat Cruise]], [[Green Hill Zone]], [[Pirate Ship]], and others.

*[[Falco]] - same method as Fox, except with [[Fire Bird]].  Goes a slightly longer distance than Fox's.  As with Fox, Falco should not be on fire as he slides.

*[[Fox]] - using [[Fire Fox]] into a slope. Although it only works on steeper slopes, it sends Fox a good distance.  Little ending lag, but big startup lag. If done correctly, Fox should not be on fire when sliding up the slope.

**When initially discovered, this was called the "Flamedash". Though practically useless, it became a meme on the Fox boards for some time, where the Flamedash is Fox's most unbeatable technique.

*[[Ganondorf]] - using [[Flame Choke]] into a hill. This method is very similar to Captain Falcon's, although it does not cover as much distance, is slower, and has more landing lag. Unlike Captain Falcon's Raptor Boost, Ganondorf's Flame Choke ''can'' attack the opponent for a certain amount of time, and if it does, it will act as though Ganondorf hit the opponent in the air.  This does not necessarily mean that Ganondorf is safe during the landing lag, as the hitbox doesn't last as long as the landing lag.  If it hits, however, it also reduces the lag significantly.

*[[Jigglypuff]] - double jump method.  The slide distance is negligible, but the fast speed of it makes it useful for a transition from dashing to standing position.
