Glide

Gliding is a new technique in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. While technically similar to Peach's glide trick in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Gliding lasts longer, and has more control. The player has to first jump, then hold the jump button, which will then make the character glide. However, the player is also able to direct it upwards or downwards. Tilting the control stick up or back will make the character glide upwards for a short while, whereas tilting the control stick down or forward will make the character glide downwards. Mastering this is apparently difficult. Also, the character cannot turn when using this, so make sure the character is pointing in the right direction, or the character may self-destruct. Gliding will stop if the player stalls in mid-air, or gets attacked. Charizard, Meta Knight and Pit are all capable of using this ability, as is Kirby after Copying one of them.
