Combined with the changes to [[dash-dancing]] hurt Falcon more than other characters, as the new animation for performing an initial dash in the opposite direction causes his model to slide toward the direction he was originally facing due to his slow initial dash, further exacerbated by Falcon's heavy reliance on dash-dancing and grounded movement when compared to other characters.}} | |||
