SSBB Update: Gliding

ConkerASkyJockey | August 30, 2007 | News | Wii 
Many of you were wondering how will the flight technique would be used in Super Smash Bros Brawl. It will be called gliding.

Well right now, Masahiro Sakurai, the games director confirmed that Pit, MetaKnight and Pokemon Trainer's Charizard will be able to fly in battle.
Characters like Pit, Meta Knight and the Pokémon Trainer’s Charizard are envied at first glance for their wings.

Rumor has it they can use those wings to sail through sky like gliders. But that can’t be true, can it?

Magnificent!

From the perspective of the rules of Smash, I sense that mastering this skill could be quite beneficial. That is, IF you can master it...

You don’t have to hold down the jump button, though. At the peak of your midair jump, you can also rapidly tilt the Control Stick backward to forward to link the jump to a glide.

Since it’s glider-style flight, you fly based on how you’re angled. You can control both your angle and your speed by pitching your "nose" up or down.

If you stall out in midair or get attacked, your flight will get cancelled.

    Sounds similar to how Mario flew in SMW.

    Looks like it would be fun to try, but it seems awkward and a little hard to control, but exciting nonetheless.

    This is a realy good technique, but the site says you wont be able to turn in mid-glide, so your gonna need to cancel it before going to far from the stage. Otherwise, you'll get a nice, High-def K.O.
