Moonwalking is achieved by tilting the [[control stick]] backwards while dashing, but without passing through the neutral position. The only way to do this is to rotate the Stick downwards instead (rotating upwards causes a jump), resulting in a half-circle motion. This should result in the user doing a sort of backwards slide, but in a state more similar to [[dashing]] than to [[wavedashing]]. | Moonwalking is achieved by tilting the [[control stick]] backwards while dashing, but without passing through the neutral position.

The moonwalk isn't useless, but still isn't a very utilized [[technique]]. | The moonwalk isn't useless, but still isn't a very utilized [[technique]]. More often than not, it simply is used for extra flash. For more practical uses, it can be used to mix up movement and bait opponents, overall adding a considerable degree of unpredictability to a person's play style. It can also be used as an alternative to wavedashing for edgehogging. In the case of characters with longer moonwalks, it can be used to move backwards much more quickly. | ||
Due to having the longest and fastest moonwalk, Captain Falcon makes the most of this technique, able to use the fast backwards momentum from moonwalking to fly off the stage and intercept recovering opponents with an aerial. In some cases, this may be a better alternative to going offstage normally as the moonwalk will move Captain Falcon much farther offstage and will also allow Falcon to retain his double jump, allowing for safer recovery. | |||
