Edge momentum shifting

The Cape Glide is an advanced technique used for Mario in SSBB. It is the act of Mario dashing off the stage and using his running momentum with his cape to reach great distances of the edge.

How to Cape Glide

Cape gliding or cging is very tricky to master but once gotten down, can be amazing for edge guarding. To start a cg, first dash towards the edge, then just as Mario goes over the edge, you initiate the cape. The result should be that mario glides out a long distance off the stage with his mid air jump saved. If down wrong Ma,rio will either barely go anywhere or a slight glide will be produced but both are pretty useless considering that you can just jump out that far.

Applications

There are many ways of using the cape glide for edge guarding purposes mostly. All of the aerial moves can be done at this point but probably the most useful would be his fair meteor smash because if timed right you can alway recover with a cape glide and it looks very professional.

Another use that is a bit trickier but a very good edge guard technique is to do what some call a "Fludd Wall" or fw. This is done by cging(assuming fludd is charged fully) then mid air jumping and then immediately use fludd. This will cause mario to fall while using fludds water as an edge guard making a "wall". Note that to recovery from this you must immediately use marios up b or else you will die.

and if none of these work, with the right timing, the cg can edge guard on its own just like the stationary cape does.
