Utilizing a similar mechanic to [[edge dashing]] in ''[[Brawl]]'', the game recognizes a lack of input from the player (which must reach a certain point for a player to walk off an edge) and keeps the player from falling off the approached edge. However, with proper [[spacing]] (dictated by the chosen character's dashing speed and [[traction]]), the player's forward momentum should be enough to carry them into the ledge, which forces the teetering animation and negates the dash's ending lag. | ||

Dashing normally causes large lag when changing directions or stopping. However, these overly long animations can be lessened or negated by TCing, and can allow players to change direction at full speed with practically no opportunities for [[punishment]] from the opponent | Dashing normally causes large lag when changing directions or stopping.
