The Cape Glide is an advanced technique used for Mario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is the act of Mario dashing off the stage and using his running momentum with his cape to reach great distances of the edge.


How to Cape Glide

Cape gliding or cging is very tricky to master but once gotten down, can be amazing for edge guarding. To start a cg, first dash towards the edge, then just as Mario goes over the edge, you initiate the cape. The result should be that Mario glides out a long distance off the stage with his mid air jump saved. If done wrong Mario will either barely go anywhere or a slight glide will be produced but both are pretty useless considering that you can just jump out that far.

Applications

There are many ways of using the cape glide for edge guarding purposes mostly. All of the aerial moves can be done at this point but probably the most useful would be his fair meteor smash because if timed right you can alway recover with a cape glide and it looks very professional.
