'''Fox-trotting''' is the technique in all four ''Super Smash Bros.'' games that consists of moving along the ground by repeatedly executing characters' initial dash animation, as opposed to using their full [[dash]]. Since some characters' initial dash animations move them faster than their full dash, these characters are able to run faster with the use of fox-trotting. Fox trotting is predominately used in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'', and characters with which the technique is most commonly executed are [[Fox]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Roy]], and [[Marth]].

One way of performing a fox-trot is by flicking or tapping the [[control stick]] sideways to perform an initial dash, returning the stick to a neutral position to cancel the onset of the full dash, and then tapping the stick sideways again to perform another initial dash. This sequence can be repeated to move the character along the ground, and the timing of each character's fox-trot is different. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a small possibility that characters will trip during their initial dash animation, thus fox-trotting increases the risk of tripping.
