[quote name='io']It is my understanding that to run/dash/whatever it is called you have to be moving a direction and then somehow tap the stick rapidly in the same direction. This is what I saw in the tutorials on SSBM and never quite got. Either it never works for me or I just can't tell the difference between walking and running. Or is this "dash" the thing I find annoying on the home run challenge where I try to nudge myself over to the bag but instead seemingly "dash" or warp right through it and end up on the wrong side? If so, then I've been doing it all along
. If that's the case, then how do you move normally?[/quote]
let me see if i can clarify it any better... i might make it more confusing.
a "smash" is flicking the stick in a direction as fast as possible. you can do it from neutral or from walking. you do a smash attack by pressing the A button immediately afterward. in terms of notation, a smash attack forward is an Fsmash, upward is Usmash, etc. i personally like to use the c-stick to smash... it's more accurate and you don't waste any frames charging.
to do a dash, smash in any horizontal direction and return it to neutral.
to run, smash in any direction and hold it. anytime you press A during a dash or a run, you'll do a running attack.
the "walking" attack that the crotch refers to is more commonly known as a "tilt" attack. tilt the stick slightly in a direction and attack. so an upward tilt would be known as a Utilt, forward tilt being Ftilt, etc.
