-Sliding takes no stamina to execute; you only have to be moving at a speed higher than **376 u/s (or 9.6 m/s)** to initiate the slide. After executing the slide, you will eventually decelerate back down to **0 u/s**.((Sliding has a friction coefficient of 0.1875)) Cancelling the slide before you reach speeds slower than walking by releasing the duck button is advised.

Sliding is only available while on the ground. While you are sliding, blue smoke will be emitted behind you, and there will be small dust trails on your sides.

-==== Items that increase Slide Distance ====
+Sliding takes no [[universaltech:stamina|stamina]] to execute; you only have to be moving at a speed higher than ''350'' u/s (or ''8.9'' m/s) to initiate the slide. After executing the slide, you will eventually decelerate to a complete stop.((Sliding has a friction coefficient of ''0.1875'')) Cancelling the slide before you reach speeds slower than walking by releasing the duck button is advised.

-Sliding also gives the unique property of allowing you to **shoot infinitely while in the sliding animation**; this is useful for maximising **DPS (Damage Per Second).**
+To execute a slide, move above the required speed threshold (''350 u/s'' or ''8.9'' m/s) or be moving at any speed on a ramp, and crouch. You should automatically slide.
-Sliding for more than **0.75 seconds** (when [[universaltech:dashjumping|Dash Jumping]], **1 second**) applies increased friction.((The late slide friction penalty seems to set your friction coefficient to around 3.1875 when sliding from a grounded dash, and 0.6875 when from a Dash Jump (Thanks Altimor))) This impacts your ability to maintain momentum.

+===== Slide Storage =====
+<block classes #clip right width :language>{{ ::universaltech:slideconservation.mp4 |}}
+<wrap center lo>A short clip showcasing Slide Storage:</wrap>
+</block>
+**Slide Storage**((AKA Slide Conservation)) is the act of infinitely buffering a slide input for later use. This allows you to slide on objects and ramps instantly without minimal speed. Incredibly small parts of map geometry (e.g curbs, lips of edges) that would be impossible to slide on normally are able to be slid on using Slide Storage.
+Slide Storage allows you buffer a slide input while in the air; this allows you to slide after any airborne action (e.g. dash jumping, jumping).
+To execute, be airborne (through [[universaltech:jumping|jumping]], dash jumping, etc.) and then hold the crouch button. While the crouch button is held, your slide is being buffered. If you then move down a ramp, fall off a slope or have enough speed, you will begin sliding.
+==== Crouch Storage ====
-==== How to Slide ====
+By applying the inverse principles of slide storage, one can instead trigger **crouch storage**((AKA Crouch Conservation)). This allows you to stop on objects and ramps near instantly without any sliding.
-To slide, move above the threshold of **376 u/s** or be on a slope and hold the **crouch/duck button** for however long you want to slide. Your character will enter the slide animation.
-**Inputs:**
+Crouch storage allows you to hold a crouch while in the air; this allows you to stay crouching after any airborne action (with the exception of down dashing).
-(Move faster than 376 u/s) → **duck**
-I and many others bind **duck and slide to the side mouse buttons** for ergonomic reasons.
+To execute, hold the crouch button before dashing or going airborne. While the crouch button is held, your crouch is stored. Now, no matter what surface you're on or what speed you're going, you will never slide.
