Don't give up; just practice.

Things are totally happening big time. Things that will completely change a certain thing forever. What things? Find out soon!

hmm... I wonder if your bringing back the flipper and parasol?

I always thought wave dashing was just air dodging in any direction, but what is it actually?

Not exactly. You air dodge into the ground, keeping the momentum from the air dodge which makes you slide on the ground without having to run. (In the case of Falcon and Ganondorf, it allows you to moonwalk if you do it right.) Ground distance varies based on the angle of the air dodge. Probably not quite the best way to put it, but I'm no expert on the subject, I just do it.

[BlueBrain]

well, it's low hopping, and air dodge towards the ground in an angle without actually leaving the floor, making you slide a bit...
the difference between character really only is in how long he takes to "go aerial", and how far he slides... luigi is crazy with his slipperyness...

That looks awesome

Be careful mochtroid not to imply that one needs to wavedash in order to moonwalk.

I realize that you don't HAVE to, but it's almost impossible to moonwalk with someone like Ganondorf if you don't. The farthest I've gotten him to go without wavedashing is about... nowhere. Literally the spot where he started. Link on the other hand can do it pretty well without wavedashing, better than anyone else as far as I know.

Falcons, Mewtwos and Sonics moonwalk are amazing without wavedashing.

[BlueBrain]

how does moonwalking even work?

[Zikkh]

Lets say you dash to the right, you would want to get your control stick to the left as fast as possible after the dash. Sounds simple, but.. you'll have to do kind of an "hadouken" motion, if you don't you'll end up with a simple dashdance.
(yes, I know I'm awful at explaining.)

how does moonwalking even work?

It basically tricks the game into letting your character run backwards by changing direction without tilting the stick the other direction, but rotating it instead.

One example would be, you could be facing right with Falcon, but with moonwalking, you move left while facing right, allowing you to do something like a reversed knee or something like that. It's a tricky move to pull off, especially with someone like Ganondorf. Characters like Falcon and Link (for some reason) can do pretty well without wavedashing, but Ganon has very little momentum from the start of his dash since he's so slow, so he can't go very far without wavedashing into his moonwalk. Still, it can be done, as shown by Bizzarroflame.  :af:

It's amazing what Ganon is actually capable of doing.

So I finally played 3.0. here at home.

I tried Turbo Mode, and I have to say, it feels awkward, and I find it hard to get combos going, or when I start them, I find it very hard to keep them up.

to get anything done in turbo you need a lot of practice, but you can get very quick kills with it xD
