'''''Fox-trotting''''' is a simple movement technique that can increase many characters' [[dashing]] speed.  It uses the speed of most character's initial startup dash, which is more often than not faster than their speed at full sprint, to create a faster continuous run speed.  Characters most notably affected are [[Fox]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Roy]], and [[Marth]].

To perform a Fox-trot, [[dash]] forward, return the analog stick to neutral, and dash forward again.  Repeat as desired.  The timing is different for every character but fairly easy to pick up on.  Fox-trotting can also be performed by [[jump-canceling]] a dash into a [[wavedash]] and then restarting the run animation, and by [[dash-canceling]] a run into another dash.
 
In [[Brawl]], there is a small chance that one will trip when they dash, thus attempting to Fox-Trot will increase the odds of tripping, making it a much greater risk.
 
'''''Dash Sliding''''', a variant of Fox-trotting, is described as a constant state of dashing. It is done by mashing the control stick in an direction, and then returning it to neutral, then repeating, similar to a Foxtrot.  It differs from a foxtrot in that when doing a Foxtrot, a dash-dance was needed to change directions. In a Dash Slide, it is possible to shield cancel out of it.
Also, since most characters hunch over in the animation, you are a smaller target for an added bonus.  This can be used as a mindgame, or as a speed advantage over your opponent.
 
The term was coined by Clan, Hoboking, and Legend of Brawlcentral.
