"It's easy to make useless and it's easier to do?" What does that even mean?

Anyway, no it's not a fluff move because it greatly increases the speed at which you can do various things. It takes practice to do effectively, and wavedashing but not wavedashing effectively can easily cost you quite a bit, but that does not change the fact that faster speed means less wasted time. If two people are of equal skill, but one wavedashes (effectively, mind you) then they can accomplish more in a match in the same time. Thus, in effect, what you are saying is that efficiency is worthless, and that's just not true.

The preceding paragraph made an argument solely based on its time-saving abilities, which were explained in my previous post. However, it does not take in to account the superb mindgames you can play with it. Simply put, when you wavedash, you have more options than when you don't; sure, you could follow up your dash with an attack, or you could quickly wavedash backwards, or you could do many other things. If you have more options and your opponent knows you have more options, then they are less likely to anticipate your actions, and thus are less likely to counter them (and of course, if they don't know you have more options, then when you pick the alternate options then they flatly won't counter them. Heh.) If they're wrong, they'll likely respond in a way that leaves them vulnerable; for instance, they might respond with an attack of higher priority, the recovery to which leaves them open to attack.

Thus, the notion that wavedashing is useless fluff is simply an ignorant one.

At least on my feet. I have to do physio-therapy. The muscles in my legs have been over-exerted because of my new hobby of running

Because there is no Guilty Gear game for a handheld system, I will calmly pass this thread by with the minimum in commentary.

There's one on GBA.
