Equal Smash Apprentice. For me I think it took me about weeks of practicing it daily during my daily tech skill practice, which is like an hour before it finally 'clicked' with me. It's very hard to learn, but when you do master it, it's great because the muscle memory will be engrained in you for a looong long time.
Nicco Smash Journeyman. Not too long if you practice alot. The hardest thing to get good at first is to get the full length or close. If you can stand at the ledge facing in and do a single moonwalk to ledgegrab or even better drop off stage, you have a good length. After that it's just a matter of learning how to do it out of walk and dash dance and then you're set. Joined Feb 9, Messages 1, Spak said:.
Last edited: Jan 18, Clint Jaguar Don't do elliptical motion. Also don't make a full dash input all the way to the control stick frame. The most important thing is to get your stick to the opposite diagonal angle asap, so that you start accelarating backwards on the 2nd frame of dash.
Yes, you hold the direction until your dash ends, or until you want to interrupt your mw with something else. Coyle Smash Cadet. I tried to moon-walk as soon as I got into Captain Falcon competitively and needless to say, it wasn't happening.
I went at it for a little bit, a few times a week or so, and ended up just putting it on my "to do" list so I could focus on other essential tech.
I would try to do it randomly during training, and after about 3 or 4 months I was able to MW to the right across FD. I've only started to be able to MW consistently to the left across FD after about a year of playing again, this was just from practicing it a little randomly. Moonwalking is all about dashing in a direction and then, within your dash dance range, quickly bringing the analog stick to the opposite side without bringing it through the neutral or down position.
Doing a half circle is the cleanest way to do this, but it takes too much time to precisely make that your thumb do that motion. Good moonwalks come from fast analog stick movement. I've heard a lot of Falcons dashing and then just making a single diagonal line to the opposite side going in between neutral and down.
Check out your controller and you'll be able to see this position easily - it's got its own notch on the octagon. This can work out well, especially if you're doing it fast enough. Personally I do the reverse Nike swoosh method, where the tail is the start, you go diagonally thru neutral and down, and then curve up at the end.
I can get some nice healthy MWs doing this, but it can be tricky when doing multiple MWs since it's easy to go thru neutral when coming back for a 2nd MW. What controller your using can also help or hurt you when trying to moonwalk. I started out using a brand new white controller bought off Amazon, and the analog stick was really tight. I bought an older purple controller that was in great condition, and the sticks allowed for easy fluid movement, but still reverted back to neutral quickly.
I was able to MW easier using this controller. I've since broken in the white controller and can MW fine with it - breaking them in just takes some time. Greed-checkTheTek Smash Ace.
Took me about a week to get it down. Okay so I've kept at it and while I'm still not able to get a full moonwalk, I'm getting more comfortable with the analogue motion. Another problem I have though is trying to moonwalk to the left. I just can't seem to get my thumb to pull off the move in the opposite direction. Do any of you guys have this problem?
CaramelCenter Smash Rookie. I've got the same thing going on, I can go left but not right. What I'm doing is just doing it slow-mo to the right until it feels natural.
Muscle memory is huge for moonwalking. Nixon Corral Southland Scion Premium. Clint Jaguar said:. Last edited: Jan 27, If you don't already do this, do straight into , rolling to.
Believe me, it's objectively better and easier than the old semicircle methods. Also it's easier to do moonwalk out of dd or walk than from stand. Tried that for a bit just a while ago and I get about the same result.
Now when I want to increase the length of my moonwalk, is the idea to simply hold the analogue in one direction or am I supposed to pull off multiple moonwalks in quick succession? Zhook Smash Rookie. Joined Sep 23, Messages A few days of practicing for a good amount of hours, but now I can moonwalk all of FD maybe a third of the times I try. To get the long sexy moonwalks the best thing to do is to start with a reverse moonwalk to get your momentum going, then just go to the normal input.

Maybe some handy tips is to have enough speed from a regular dash, immediately turn around and preform the moonwalk. You can also wavedash, immediately turn around and preform the moonwalk. That's the way I do it. Twinkles Smash Lord.

Though you can moonwalk in anything, even hiking boots, you should have as little traction as possible as a beginner.
Wearing socks will make it much easier for you to practice your moves and to glide across the floor. That may seem impossible at first. Find a smooth surface. Once again, smoothness is key, and while you can try it anywhere, it helps to be on a smooth, flat, non-stick surface, such as a hardwood floor or a smooth-tiled floor. Most dance floors will work, of course, but so will most kitchen floors. Stay away from rough or uneven surfaces or carpeted areas. When you're an expert, you'll even be able to practice on something as rough as a carpet.
Part 2. Place one foot directly in front of the other and stand on the toes of your back leg. Then, lift your right leg and place the toes of your right foot facing the floor, approximately a foot behind your left leg. Keep your arms at your sides -- you can worry about them later. Keep your left foot flat on the ground. Keep your balance. You can do this by increasing the width between your legs and feet until you feel stable.
A good rule of thumb is to have them about 3—6 inches 8—20 cm the width of one of your feet apart. As you get more comfortable with this move, you can do the moonwalk with your legs closer together.
You can lift your arms a bit if that helps you keep your balance as you move backward. Slide your left heel back and "into" the floor. Do this as you lean back on your right leg so that your left foot finishes behind the right leg. During this, the heel of your right foot should still remain in the air, with the toes pointed down on the floor. Put all of the weight into your lifted leg, so the leg that is flat on the floor feels weightless.
Snap the heel of your left foot up off the floor as you simultaneously snap the heel of your right foot down. Now you are in the same position you started with, only your feet have changed positions. Your right foot should now be in front of your left leg instead of the other way around.
To do the moonwalk correctly, only one of your feet should be in the air at any given time. Always one; never two, and never zero. Repeat the previous two steps, switching the roles of your left and right foot.
The moonwalk can really be mastered by perfecting these movements over and over, until it looks like you're really walking on the moon and when your feet are really moving back and back smoothly, without any kinks. Add some frills. Add a head movement to help create the illusion of "moonwalking. Then pull it back to the body as you switch to the other foot.
You can also swing your arms with every step, or hunch over your shoulders and grab your hat if you're wearing one like Michael Jackson did. You can use your whole body to show that you're walking on the moon, not just your feet. It shouldn't take that long if you practice a lot. Just make sure you get every step, but know that you won't be as good as MJ on your first try.
Not Helpful 46 Helpful Not Helpful 72 Helpful The move was performed using special shoes with a groove. The purpose of this groove was to catch a nail on the floor, enabling the lean. Not Helpful 98 Helpful You should try and get shoes with a flat toe, which you are able to stand on your toes without falling.
Practice standing on you toes for at least 7 seconds every day. Not Helpful 41 Helpful Keep watching his dancing videos over and over again, then you practice, you can put your device next to you, and copy exactly what he is doing, with practice you would be able to get there.
Not Helpful 47 Helpful Smooth Criminal or Black and White are great for moonwalking! Not Helpful 27 Helpful You probably can't. He was a master of the moonwalk. That said, there isn't any reason why you couldn't master it as well, with plenty of practice and focus. Not Helpful 87 Helpful Not Helpful 53 Helpful
