==Wing Dashing== | |||
'''Wing dashing''' is an advanced technique discovered by kupo15 that can only be used by {{SSBB|Pit}}. It is the input of four moves in rapid succession to produce a motion similar to that of [[wavedash]]ing, although it is more difficult to make a wingdash go a similar distance <ref>[https://smashboards.com/threads/wingdashing-11-videos.164871/ SmashBoards Thread (WingDashing)]</ref>. | |||
To wingdash, the player must input a [[short hop]] or a [[jump]], then activate [[Wings of Icarus]]. While using Wings of Icarus, the player must press left or right based on the desired direction, then perform a [[Pit (SSBB)/Down aerial|down aerial]]. If done correctly, Pit will slide in a way akin to a [[wavedash]] with zero lag thanks to down aerial's [[autocancel]]. As a result, the technique can be used for spacing and movement quite effectively. Given the requirement to input a down aerial, this can also be used to pick up items without committing to any animations. It can also be used to escape some attacks<ref>[https://smashboards.com/threads/absolute-wingdashing-a-work-in-progress.220958/#post-6890195 Absolute WingDash]</ref>. | |||
It's also possible to wingdash from a [[footstool]], and the [[windbox]] from Wings of Icarus sends opponents a small distance away<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnSLvGets4M&fmt=18 Footstool WingDash]</ref>. This can potentially be used for mixups. | |||

==Wing Landing== | |||
{{competitive expertise|Scarce details; lots of stuff on SmashBoards, though.}} | |||
Due to the properties of Wings of Icarus, it's possible to land immediately after using it from a grounded state<ref>[https://smashboards.com/threads/wing-landing-2-videos.171808/ SmashBoards Thread (WingLanding)]</ref>. This can be done by tapping up and immediately using down aerial. If done during the turnaround animation, there can potentially be no lag at all. | |||
