The '''small step forward smash''' is a technique that effectively extends the range of a [[forward smash]] by intentionally delaying a few frames between the [[control stick]] tap and the attack button press. As the game allows a specific window of time between the two inputs (3 frames in Melee) in order to differentiate the combination from a [[dash attack]], this causes the character to dash forwards slightly before the forward smash begins, therefore increasing its range based on how far the character moves in their early dashing animation. | The '''small step forward smash''' is a technique that effectively extends the range of a [[forward smash]] by intentionally delaying a few frames between the [[control stick]] tap and the attack button press.

In Melee, there is only 1 frame available to delay instead of 3 when doing a forward smash in the opposite direction, making it pointless. | In ''Melee'', there is only 1 frame available to delay instead of 3 when doing a forward smash in the opposite direction, making it pointless. | ||
The small step forward smash is most useful for characters whose forward smash has low startup and high range (such as Marth), effectively increasing the range slightly further. [[Pivoting]] can be used in a similar, yet more universal way, but it's much harder to do and also takes one frame longer. | The small step forward smash is most useful for characters whose forward smash has low startup and high range (such as Marth), effectively increasing the range slightly further.
