The moonwalk acts as a generally situational technique in the competitive metagame, owing to the greater prevalence of [[wavedash]]ing. In most cases, the moonwalk is primarily used for extra flash by the smasher. | The moonwalk acts as a generally situational technique in the competitive metagame, owing to the greater prevalence of [[wavedash]]ing.

Moonwalking, however, is not a completely useless technique. The technique can be used in [[mindgame]]s in order to mix up movement or otherwise bait opponents, adding a degree of unpredictability to a smasher's playstyle. Cautious smashers can also attempt to use the moonwalk as to more efficiently [[edgehog]] instead of using a [[wavedash]]. | Moonwalking, however, is not a completely useless technique.

Cautious smashers can also attempt to use the moonwalk as to more efficiently [[edgehog]] instead of using a [[wavedash]]. In addition, by principle, the moonwalk allows characters to slide backwards while the game recognizes them as standing; as such, smashers can perform techniques similar to wavesmashing and wavegrabbing with the technique, provided their character has a sufficiently long moonwalk. | ||
Due to his powerful edgeguarding game and long moonwalk, Captain Falcon derives the most applications from moonwalking, as the backward momentum from moonwalking can allow him to slide off the stage in order to intercept [[recover]]ing opponents with an aerial attack. In some cases, this can actually act as a superior alternative to going offstage with other techniques, as the moonwalk can move Captain Falcon much farther offstage and will also allow Falcon to retain his double jump, allowing for safer recovery. | Due to his powerful edgeguarding game and long moonwalk, Captain Falcon derives the most applications from moonwalking, as the backward momentum from moonwalking can allow him to slide off the stage in order to intercept [[recover]]ing opponents with an aerial attack.
