Why do only a few people do this_
I've done it alot in the past, and it's a great way to get into somebody's face so you can fuzzy bunny all over him with your FLAK + TOW.
It also usually makes him miss his TOW.

Why_ Simple:
You boost right at him in close quarters, so he fires it directly at your face, expecting a direct TOW hit.
you dash sideways, and the TOW misses.


However, if you don't have enough fuel for both a sideways dash and boosting, you could try this:
Boost sideways, and if you stop at the correct time, his TOW will miss your face by a little bit,
because he was leading his shot.

..Assuming you're playing in a lvl 30 room.


Avoiding shots seems even more of a priority now, so I thought I'd put up a topic about it.

There's also a (bit outdated but still relevant) Youtube tutorial about combining these moves:

You don't have to worry about fuel for dodging now. Only for boosting. :)

The only thing is that you don't generate fuel while dodging
