PIVOT DANCING alternative to DASH DANCING??

[AshBoomstick]

Dash dancing alternative, Pivot dancing
Any move (tilts, smash, dash attack, specials) can be done out of pivot dancing
Tested only for a couple of hours today, much better use possible with practice
Some characters have better pivot dancing then others
Slower and more defensive then dash dancing
Must be used more sparingly then dash dancing
You will not use as often as I do in video
Used too often will result in punish
A more defensive option to mix up attacks
May be able to be done quicker on Gamecube controller

Let me know what you all think about how else this can be used! Hit me up on youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUEBwthcpWBTQXscn8bpS6Qor on 3ds for a match! Friend code (2809 7728 1923)

Could you not go from a pivot dash into a fox trot or a dash dance to retreat safely?

Diddy has a very good fox trot. Diddy can act quickly out of a fox trot like lucario. I Don't think pivot dancing is of any value to diddy. You can be just out of range bait, Dash out, dash back in and punish but its not fast enough to dash in, Bait, dash out, back in and punish. because diddies fox trot is pretty good, this actually works out well against swordies w/o projectiles to force an approach such as marth, lucina, and ike.

I noticed this a few days ago when I was getting frustrated with how long diddy's skid stop lag is from a run. I started fox trotting for more of my mid-range movement and it felt like an instant improvement to my spacing game.
