Characters with long and fast dashing animations, namely {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Marth}}, and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} make the most use of the technique. In ''Melee'', dash dancing is used primarily to play [[mindgames]] with the opponent. By continuously switching directions, the player can make prediction quite a chore for the opponent. Dash dancing can be used in conjunction with throws with low knockback to tech chase. Dash dancing is a also good fake out technique. Players can dash towards opponent and during mid-dash, start to dash dance. This can be used to lure attacks out from the opponent, which can easily be [[punish]]ed during their end lag. Dash dancing can also be jumped out of, allowing players immediate use of [[SHFFL]]s and [[wavedashing]]. | Characters with long and fast dashing animations, namely {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Marth}}, and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} make the most use of the technique.

In ''Brawl'', dash dancing is drastically harder because the initial dash animation is much shorter. In addition, many throws have increased in knockback and decreased in [[hitstun]], making [[tech-chasing]] much more difficult. Also, the [[tripping]] mechanic can interrupt it at a completely random moment, leaving the player vulnerable. As a result, dash dancing is much less useful than it was in Melee | In ''Brawl'', dash dancing is drastically harder because the initial dash animation is much shorter.

As a result, dash dancing is much less useful than it was in Melee and therefore sees little use in competitive play except perhaps in {{SSBB|Sonic}}'s [[metagame]], which relies heavily on mindgames and [[punishment]] to garner KOs. | ||
