Crawl-sliding is an SSBB trick which allows you to slide across the ground backwards for a short period of time.This was first discovered by Smashboards member lilscrappy561 who attempted to moonwalk as in SSBM by just walking instead of running. If done with a Bunny Hood a character will slide even further as if it wavedashed. This can only be done with characters that can crawl such as Luigi, Zero Suit Samus, Bowser, etc. Characters that crawl slowly won't really slide much distance. This can also be done with ice blocks in Stage Builder, but a character must attempt it on a regular platform or it won't work at all.
==How To Perform==
To do this you must tilt analog stick so the character(Luigi for example)will walk. Once he/she is walking, make a half circle in the opposite direction and let go of the analog stick. Luigi will slide for a short distance unless Bunny Hood is on he will go further. Its more easier to do with Luigi.
''''== Usefulness ==''''
With Bunny Hood if this is done it could be quite useful. Like if Bowser(example) is behind Luigi(example) could crawl-slide and use an attack like his up-smash. If used correctly, Luigi could wave-slide and use his up-special and hit a character even though he/she is behind Luigi.
Trivia
- Wave-sliding has been joked to be wavedashing since it evolves the sliding part.
- This is pretty useless to slow crawlers such as Snake, Bowser, Wario, Lucario,etc. even if Bunny Hood is on.
- A coincidence of Luigi be the easiest to wavedash in Melee is like Luigi be the easiest to crawl-slide in Brawl.
