In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the PC walk, or PC turnaround, is a sliding technique that involves transferring the momentum from a walk into a smash turn. The PC walk is named after the old-school smasher, PC Chris.
Performing the PC walk
Setting up a PC walk is similar to setting up a moonwalk by fast walking in the direction to slide and then transferring that momentum by turning, but is performed with a smash turn by quickly and lightly flicking the controller in the opposite direction instead of turning with a dashback by smash turning for more than one frame. This flicking motion is similar to a pivot, but whereas a pivot cancels the momentum from a dash, a PC turnaround transfers the momentum from a fast walk.
PC drop
The PC drop is the most common application of the PC Walk and is used to quickly grab ledge from a walk. It can also be buffered into a walk from the jumpsquat frames of a wavedash to quickly wavedash into a PC drop from further away from the ledge.
PC Smash Turn Jump
If one performs a jump out of a PC turnaround, then the momentum from the walk will be transferred over into the jump, but the character will be facing the direction they turned. This is similar to a reverse aerial rush in Brawl and future Smash titles, although it is performed out of a walk instead of a run. One way to set this up is to buffer a walk out of a wavedash. You can tell if you are successfully performing the PC Smash Turn Jump is by letting go of the control stick and resetting it to the neutral position, if your character is still moving in the air despite inputting no aerial drift, then you have successfully performed a PC Smash Turn Jump.
