Dash-canceling: Difference between revisions

In ''Smash 64'', when initiating a dash, quickly tapping the opposite direction before the initial animation ends causes the character to pivot while sliding forward. This gives characters like {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}, who has a long, fast initial dash animation and a weak forward aerial, significant approach improval in his back or up aerial. This also applies to {{SSB|Fox}}'s back aerial (a [[sex kick]] which is more powerful when implemented well than his forward aerial) as well as {{SSB|Samus}}'s (whose back aerial is a very powerful kick and one of her few reliable finishers, in contrast to her overly weak, low range forward aerial). This technique is known as [[Reverse aerial rush]], or [[RAR]] for short.
