Momentum sliding is a technique in the Japenese version of Super Smash Bros., which can be activated via a glitch known as "turn sliding". It can be perform Fox, Kirby,Yoshi, Jigglypuff, and Donkey Kong. It causes the player to slide back in the opposite direction he/she first dashed in, similar to a wavedash. This technique is similar to the Teleport as well as the Kirby Cutter slide glitch in both games.
Execution
- The player must first input a dash.
- Then he/she should dash pivot.
- During skid, the control stick must be flicked back to neutral during certain frames of the animation (frames vary depending on character).
- The character will turn and slide the opposite direction.
Distances
- DK has the furthest distance, traveling 3/4 the length of Dreamland.
- Jigglypuff is the easiest to do with the technique and travels 1/2 the length of Dreamland.
- Kirby and Fox each travel around 1/4 the length of Dreamland.
- Yoshi travels a bit less than Kirby and Fox.
