Description
Wavebounce is a nuanced technique employed by advanced players in fighting games to create unpredictable movement patterns. By reversing or altering the character's momentum, players can effectively dodge attacks, counter opponents, and gain a strategic edge. This technique is often achieved by inputting a combination of directional commands and special moves, causing the character to shift direction suddenly. Mastering wavebounce can give players an upper hand in competitive play, as it makes their movements harder to read and counter. The skill requires precise timing and practice, as improper execution can leave the player vulnerable.
Examples
- In 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,' players often use wavebounce with characters like Mario to mix up their approach and keep opponents guessing. By reversing the momentum of a fireball throw, Mario can quickly change direction and avoid getting hit.
- In 'Dragon Ball FighterZ,' the wavebounce is used with characters like Goku to alter their momentum during aerial attacks, making it harder for opponents to predict their landing and counter effectively.
Additional Information
- Wavebouncing can be combined with other techniques like short hopping or fast falling to enhance unpredictability.
- Practicing wavebounce requires understanding the specific timing and inputs for each character, as it can vary widely across different games.
