Ground Dash - Yay or Nay?

[Titanium Man]

Do you use Ground Dash or not? For some characters, it works great to be able to dash while staying on the ground. Yet, I'm so used to dashing into the air from the ground that I tend to keep it off. I find that it's easier for me to use Golbez's system attacks when it's off. Which characters do you think benefit from Ground Dash more?

IMO (at least until someone convinces otherwise)

WoL
Garland
Firion
Emperor
OK
CoD
Cecil
Bartz(?)
Exdeath(?)
Terra
Kefka (depending on your move set)
Cloud
Sephiroth
Squall
Tidus
Jecht
Gabranth
Lightning(?)
Vaan
Laguna (?)
Yuna
Tifa

Ground dash is a GODSEND for ground characters...when u shoot a Fire with Cloud and try to dash u have to land before u can use a SonicBreak or Climhazzard but now with Ground Dash it's way easier...it practically speaks for itself by having the name Ground Dash I guess...xD

But yea characters like Kuja, Ultimecia, etc don't really benefit from Ground Dash..

Spoiler:

Can we talk about Descent Jump Boost(or whatever) and Zero Gravity here too...it seems like such a waste to start another thread because they're all new game mechanisms...xD

I absolutely love it. I love being able to dash up to an enemy and use ground attacks. and it's not that much extra to just jump and charge for like an ex core. But I use it for every character. Even the aerial oriented fighters because it's just... convenient.

It's a huge game changer for a lot of characters and improves their performance by a lot. I pretty much equip omni ground dash + on any character that isn't air combat focused like Kuja, Terra, and Ulti. It's great to be able to do a quick dash or right into the opponent and get off a ground attack imediatly instead of having to land and do it. Cuts down on time and easier to land attack that way.

My Golbez has benefited greatly from omni ground dash +. Dashing around and past people and then letting out a glare hand or attack system as high speeds makes all the difference.

Actually, this brings up a point I haven't considered. I hated Omni Air Dash because it felt wonky to reposition myself without solid ground, but an Omni Ground Dash might work better for me. I'll definitely give it a shot for a few matches on my Golbez and see how I like it.

Well given that Golbez rather excels at ground combat and is his safe zone, being able to dash around on the ground and quickly pull off his ground moves works incredibly well with his overall prowess in ground combat. I normally just stick to regular free air dash in the air anyways because his air attacks are rather direct. Air attack system does a good job at stabilizing my altitude and getting off a flurry of attack system and sector ray. Omni air dash is okay on him, but it never seemed that vital to me as the ground is his safe zone.

A lot of attacks work best by dashing at the opponent and using them then. Consequently, ground dash doubles the amount of moves you can use dashing into opponents. This is even greater when the ground moves guard crush. So I say worth it.

Well, this thread has definitely inspired me to give Ground Dash more of a chance

Tis berry, berry nice for certain characters whose concept can make great use of land attacks. However, it's more based on how you play a certain character, because sometimes you might not like being grounded at certain times.

Tis berry, berry nice, indeed. How berry? Frankenberry.
