The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

'''Slide Smashing''', also known as Smash Dashing or Hyphen Smashing is a simple, but useful technique. To do it, simply dash and use an [[Up smash]]; your character will slide to a stop while performing their Up-Smash. All characters can Slide Smash.

'''Slide smashing''', also known as '''smash dashing''' or '''hyphen smashing''', is a simple, yet useful [[technique]]. To do it, one must simply [[dash]] and use an [[up smash]]; the player's [[character]] will slide to a stop while performing their up smash. All characters can slide smash, though characters with low [[traction]] and/or high ground speed will cover a larger distance.

The most obvious use for the slide smash is as an alternative to using the character's [[dash attack]], which is generally mediocre to weak in terms of power; many dash attacks also leave the character vulnerable to [[punish]]ing (such as [[shield grab]]bing), whereas the slide smash is generally more difficult to punish, and up smashes are usually considerably more powerful than dash attacks. Another use is simply as a method to setup an up smash directly from an [[approach]], which can be used during a combo, as a raw KO technique, or as a [[mindgame]] or punish. Characters such as {{SSBB|Fox}} and {{SSBB|Pikachu}} can make great use of this technique, due to their fast speed and useful up smashes.

Another use is simply as a set-up to an Up-Smash, which can be used to combo or to kill. Finally, for fast characters such as [[Sonic]], [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Marth]] a Slide Smash covers incredible distance, which is useful for approach.
