'''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 | '''Wing dashing''' is an advanced technique discovered by kupo15 that can only be used by {{SSBB|Pit}}.

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 | To wingdash, the player must input a [[short hop]] or a [[jump]], then activate [[Wings of Icarus]].

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. | ||

The move is based on the Angel's Feather item from ''Kid Icarus'', which allowed him to fly back up should he fall off the bottom of the screen, and the Wings of Pegasus, one of the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], which allowed [[Pit]] to fly freely. | The move is based on the Angel's Feather item from ''Kid Icarus'', which allowed him to fly back up should he fall off the bottom of the screen, and the Wings of Pegasus, one of the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], which allowed [[Pit]] to fly freely. | ||

*When Pit is in [[metal]] form, Wings of Icarus will only slow his fall, unless used directly from the ground. This also applies to his jumps, as it does to any metal character with multiple jumps. | *When Pit is in [[metal]] form, Wings of Icarus will only slow his fall, unless used directly from the ground.

*[[Wing dashing]] is a technique with this move that allows Pit to move around the screen quickly. | |||
*While Pit can cancel out of this move by attacking, he cannot [[air dodge]] out of it. | *While Pit can cancel out of this move by attacking, he cannot [[air dodge]] out of it. | ||
