Wavedashing

Wavedashing is a technique and game mechanic in Rivals of Aether. A wavedash is performed by air dodging immediately after jumping, allowing you to keep your momentum and either waveland (air dodge straight downwards) or wavedash (air dash diagonally). By inputting an airdodge during jumpsquat, a wavedash can be buffered, and combined with a completely horizontal input, can achieve the maximum distance on a wavedash. Wavedashing is a vital form of movement, as it allows the player to be fully actionable while moving horizontally.

Inputs and technical details
To perform a wavedash, the player must jump, then air dodge immediately after either downwards or more commonly, diagonally, into the ground. To perform a maximum length wavedash, the player must input an airdodge during jumpsquat and input a completely horizontal direction.
