10 Awesome Video Game Mechanics (That Are Impossible To Pull Off)
7. Wavedashing - Super Smash Bros Melee
Super Smash Brothers Melee is a wild and crazy celebration of gaming that is marketed by Nintendo as a party fighter. Its validity as a fighting game has always been a point of contention, depending on who you ask but the fact of the matter is Melee is the fastest and most challenging game in the series to master.
This only got more intense when players realised that small jumps air-dodged back towards the ground created sweeping movements that made the game even speedier. Wavedashing, as it came to be known, changed the face of combat in the Smash Bros metagame.
The discovery and subsequent mastering of wavedashing was what separated casual players from those who wanted to compete at the highest level. And it wasn’t just being able to pull off the technique in isolation, it was finding your spots to use it mid-match and do so to your advantage. Comparing your own gameplay to what tournament level competitors can do is brain melting stuff.
It’s not for everyone and simply getting the basics down is a headache, especially in a game as crazy and intense as Smash Brothers. Sometimes it’s best to leave the most nimble moves to the masters and just enjoy a game at it's most simple/ Anyone for a 'Pokéballs only' match?
