Slide

Slide is 's side special move in Fraymakers.
== Overview ==
When performed, CommanderVideo slides forward on his back, kicking in front of him. Opponents hit by the kick are dealt 2 damage and knocked upward. CommanderVideo can continuously slide forward for as long as the special input is held.
When used with the rainbow trail active, this move can be canceled by jumping at any point, making it a strong combo starter and extender. However, this also removes the rainbow trail.
== Origin ==
Sliding is a move performed by CommanderVideo and his friends in and its gameplay successors, being one of the first moves learned in each game. It allows the user to slide low to the ground for as long as the input is held, dodging certain obstacles while moving at the same pace as running. The move can be performed quickly and the user can still jump while sliding, which may have inspired being able to cancel it in Fraymakers.
The technique is also used in CommanderVideo's down tilt, in which he slides a short distance forward. The animation for the side special move is based on its modern appearance in and , whereas the down tilt is based on its appearance in the original BIT.TRIP RUNNER. Notably, the technique is unable to attack obstacles in BIT.TRIP RUNNER, whereas in Runner2 and Runner3, the player is able to kick while sliding.

== Trivia ==
*Prior to v0.5.10 of Early Access, this was the only move to interact with CommanderVideo's rainbow trail and it would not be removed upon being used to cancel the move. This was changed in order to improve CommanderVideo's playstyle due to the move being considered overly noncommittal.
