Strafedash

Strafedashing (AKA strafesliding, wavedashing) is a mobility technique that is usually slower than dashing, but offers extra flexibility to dodge around and attack. It is performed by air dodging/dashing toward the ground during a character's jumpsquat. Strafedash startup is the picked character's jumpsquat +1 frame. The distance of a strafedash varies between characters and is commonly linked somewhat to airdodge distance and traction.
