How to Moonwalk on the B0XX (Galen's method) 

That’s what makes it so exciting to me

I think it's more accurate to say it has the highest skill ceiling. Depending on how you play melee, the skill floor is actually really low too.

Awesome! I'm so happy to hear some type of content I put out was actually helpful to someone! More videos to come soonish (once I stop procrastinating lmao)!

:poggerga:

Tank you :3

Of course :3 Glad this video is helpful

I really wanna order one but they’ve been out of stock for like 6 months, I might end up just ordering a B0XX but I would much prefer if the F1 came back in stock soon

Hey, no, no It's chill. I appreciate knowledge/distinction being made clear and this is a perfectly fair correction! Definitely will be working on my terminology usage more in the future for my videos and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention (: No parade to rain on as I just want people to get better and do sick shit. Thanks again, man

@@GalenTheWise this guy is straight up wrong, btw. plinking does refer to hitting two buttons one frame apart, not on the same frame. pianoing generally refers to pressing several different buttons in quick succession, but doesn't necessarily imply a 1-frame timing. the actual mechanic of priority linking only exists in street fighter 4, but it's not uncommon to use that term to refer generally to any input with two buttons 1 frame apart.

@@me2121211 Oh ok, I thought I was crazy and just misunderstood but thanks for clearing that up (:

i put up a 5s vid of this for anyone who wanna c

@@eeveelilith Your channel says you have no videos.

I mean, if you keep repeting the moonwalk inuts with Fox he stays grounded and you can moonwalk all over the stage? I never understood that, I keep seeing tons of Falcon moonwalking and very few with fox who only does it once (for grabbing the ledge for exemple). Just a simple curiosity, I know the mobility between the two character is different, just wondering if you can actually moonwalk grounded all over the stage with Fox

He theoretically could continuously keep moonwalking but his distance gain in comparison to Falcon's wouldn't be as much and you'd have to execute more of those moonwalks. I SH out of the end to retain the momentum of the moonwalk for tricky aerial placements/edge cancels. This moonwalk method can only be done via B0XX/keyboard controller since you need to hit forward to back (two frame window) which since you have to pass through the gate on GCC you couldn't hit this sadly.

@@GalenTheWise Understood thank you!

:3

Thank you!

If you're getting dash back, you're not hitting the 2 frame window. So you're hitting the back input too late.

@@GalenTheWise okay ty i’ll give it another go

@@oliknight8897 If you still are having trouble, I'm down to show via a Discord stream or something rq. Not rn unfortunately since I'm still at work but later today and or Friday evening works (:

@@GalenTheWise I've got the timing down somewhat now, just need to practise some practical uses for it now

@@oliknight8897 Congrats, man (:

What usually helps me when trying to get a timing down is by creating visual cues for myself. So if you're getting a dash or a walk, you're inputting the forward input too early and the game is only reading your back input because it gets "eaten" by the end lag of the wavedash. That lr maybe you're inputting the forward and back on the same frame instead of individually apart. I'm live rn if you wanna talk about it more in chat :3

@@GalenTheWise Okay so I started practicing it with the 0 degree wavedash first and now it's super easy. Thanks dude, this tech is sick! (Also just realized this week I follow you on twitter lol)

Thanks for the support, man :3 Glad to hear you got it down! Hopefully you get some sick clips with it (:

You can't really do the Galen method anymore with neutral SOCD. I mean you sort of can but the distance goes nowhere so.. yeah. You can only do a regular moonwalk (walk one direction then dash another while doing a half circle input)

is there no way to do it instantly from a dashback like on gcc? i play falcon, i wanna be able to knee instant MW@@GalenTheWise

@@selv_ You mean from a wavedash back? No. That's dead with neutral SOCD. Like I mentioned in the previous comment.

not a wavedash back, just dashing back. an instant moonwalk from turning around. the wavedash method is too slow for falcon anyways@@GalenTheWise

@selv_ You can only do a moonwalk by walking a direction then dashing the opposite direction then doing a half circle in the opposite direction from your dash. Also, that's slower than WD back moonwalk for your info lol. You can WD whenever. Having to setup a walk first then having to dash in the opposite direction is slower my a margin
