[[universaltech:dashing|Ground dashes]] are eligible to be cancelled into a [[universaltech:sliding|slide]] at any time. When this is performed, it is called a **Dash Slide**. 

Dash Sliding costs one bar of [[universaltech:stamina]].

Dash Sliding is useful for multiple reasons. It:
  * Allows you to maintain some speed out of a regular dash (since a regular dash ends at regular walking speed) and allows you to travel more distance in comparison to a regular dash.
  * Puts you into the slide state, which is useful for combat and doesn't lock you out of shooting. 
  * Only consumes one bar of stamina, which can be preferable to a [[universaltech:dashjumping|Dash Jump]].
  * Is easily cancellable, unlike regular dashes which can only be cancelled by a slide.

Dash Sliding for the full duration is not advisable; sliding for the full duration will cause you to eventually move at a speed slower than [[universaltech:walking/sprinting|walking]]; instead, cancel the slide roughly when the Dash Jump circle turns blue.
