Anyone know for sure what fighting game first featured the air dash?
I'm thinking X-Men: Children of the Atom, but it seems like there could be something much earlier.
Any ideas?

Well, GG I think had the first double air-dash... but it's older than CoTA by about 4 years.
Power Instinct actually had the first fighting double jump (that I know of), so I can't help but wonder if there's not an air-dash before 1994.

Darkstalkers beat out XM:CotA by a few months but I'm having a hard time thinking of any examples before that.

Chun Li could jump off the wall and stuff in SF2, but that's not air dash, huh... Does computer controlled Vega(Balrog) count?

Well, Morrigan could dash into the air... but is there really a dash from the air in the original Darkstalkers?

I was thinking of Anakaris and especially Rapter/Zabel. I'm not sure if either of their air movements count as air dashes in the strictest sense of the term but they could move about once they were off the ground.

Yep,DS was the first air-dash game. I remember fondly seeing Morrigan's and Raptor's dashes very well.

Well, if an air dash is what I think it is, then the air dash in Darkstalkers was probably inspired by the air dash in another Capcom game, Megaman X2. It's the first game I remember ever having an air dash instead of just the usual double jump.

Well, technically Morrigan's dash was just a "flying dash" since it started on the ground.
And I'm just talking about the air-dash in fighting games... though Darkstalkers came out a few months before X2.
Still, DS seems to be the game I'm looking for because of the complex air movement. Thanks to Ishmael and everyone else who posted in the thread.

I know I'm late, but I'm pretty sure the Asuka series had the air dash before DS.
