	'''Dashing''' is possible due to a lack of sideways speedcap, and an oversight with the sideways Strafe mechanic. During a Strafe, Samus is accelerated at the start of the movement and decelerated at the end. By letting go of the lock on during a Strafe, the game does not decelerate Samus. Combined with a lack of sideways speedcap, this technique can build speed very quickly and cross large distances.
