-'''''Fox-trotting''''' is a simple movement technique that can increase many characters' [[dashing]] speed.  It uses the speed of most character's initial startup dash, which is more often than not faster than their speed at full sprint, to create a faster continuous run speed.  Characters most notably affected are [[Fox]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Roy]], and [[Marth]].
+'''Fox-trotting''' is the technique of moving along the ground by repeatedly executing a character's initial dash animation, as opposed to using their full [[dash]]. Since some characters' initial dash animations move them faster than their full dash, these characters are able to run faster the use of fox-trotting. Fox trotting is predominately used in ''[[Melee]]'', and characters with which the technique is most commonly executed are [[Fox]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Roy]], and [[Marth]].
-To perform a Fox-trot, [[dash]] forward, return the analog stick to neutral, and dash forward again.  Repeat as desired.  The timing is different for every character but fairly easy to pick up on.  Fox-trotting can also be performed by [[jump-canceling]] a dash into a [[wavedash]] and then restarting the run animation, and by [[dash-canceling]] a run into another dash.
+One way of performing a fox-trot is by flicking or tapping the [[analog stick]] sideways to perform an initial dash, returning the stick to a neutral position to cancel the onset of the full dash, and then tapping the stick sideways again to perform another initial dash. This sequence can be repeated to move the character along the ground, and the timing of each character's fox-trot is different. In [[Brawl]], there is a small possibility that a character will trip during their initial dash animation, thus fox-trotting increases the risk of tripping.
-In [[Brawl]], there is a small chance that one will trip when they dash, thus attempting to Fox-Trot will increase the odds of tripping, making it a much greater risk.
+In Melee, fox-trotting can also be performed by [[jump-canceling]] a dash into a [[wavedash]], then dashing again, or by [[dash-canceling]] a full dash into another dash.
 '''''Dash Sliding''''', a variant of Fox-trotting, is described as a constant state of dashing. It is done by mashing the control stick in an direction, and then returning it to neutral, then repeating, similar to a Foxtrot.  It differs from a foxtrot in that when doing a Foxtrot, a dash-dance was needed to change directions. In a Dash Slide, it is possible to shield cancel out of it.
