==Technical details==

Wavedashing describes a sliding motion that occurs by [[jumping]] and then immediately [[air dodging]] at a sharp angle into the ground. The length a character slides in their wavedash is determined by a number of factors: by the angle at which they air dodged (low angles yield long wavedashes), how close to ground they were before air dodging (the closer the character, the longer the wavedash), ~~and~~ the character's [[traction]]. Low traction yields long wavedashes, while high traction yields short wavedashes. Thus characters like Luigi, Ice Climbers, and {{SSBM|Marth}} have long wavedashes, while {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Zelda}} have short wavedashes. Both long and short wavedashes have their own advantages and disadvantages; while long wavedashes are generally better for approaching and wavesmashing, shorter wavedashes are better for comboing and positioning.

As the length of a wavedash is dependent on the character's traction, surfaces which reduce traction can significantly increase the lengths of wavedashes for all characters, such as the [[UFO]] on [[Fourside]] and the oil slick on [[Flat Zone]]. However, none of the {{SSBM|tournament legal}} stages for ''Melee'' feature such surfaces.
