A technique in all four smash games that consists of moving along the ground by repeatedly executing characters' initial dash animation, as opposed to using their full dash. With some characters, the initial dash animation is faster than the full dash animation, which makes running faster with Fox Trotting as opposed to just dashing.

Young Link is a fast character with three different projectiles. Typically his playstyle is very hit-and-run as his run and aerial speeds are both very fast. Young Link generally has weak attacks, but the fact that he can maintain such a high speed while throwing projectiles at your opponent makes him an interesting defensive character.
