Description
Foxtrotting is a strategic maneuver used by players to navigate the stage efficiently. By executing a series of short dashes consecutively, players can cover ground quickly while retaining the ability to switch directions or stop abruptly. This technique allows for enhanced mobility and can be crucial for positioning, baiting opponents, or avoiding attacks. Unlike continuous dashing, foxtrotting provides better control, enabling players to respond to their opponent's actions more effectively. It requires precise timing and practice to execute consistently, making it a skill that can differentiate novice players from more experienced ones.
Examples
- In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, characters like Mario and Fox can utilize foxtrotting to quickly approach or retreat, making it harder for opponents to predict their movements.
- In Dragon Ball FighterZ, players can use foxtrotting to weave in and out of their opponent's range, creating opportunities for counterattacks and mix-ups.
Additional Information
- Foxtrotting can be particularly effective in games with larger stages or slower character movement speeds.
- Mastering foxtrotting can provide a significant advantage in high-level competitive play, where positioning and spacing are critical.
