@Smash_edu i always figured this was the case, appreciate the confirmation

@Smash_edu What about air dodging up, I do up quite a bit, and I want to know if it changes anything

@Smash_edu @jds_player

@Smash_edu I feel like some cross-stage hits have hitstun end early enough for the momentum cancel of airdodge to be worth it, right?

@Smash_edu BUT if your back is facing the stage I believe airdodge saves you earlier

@Smash_edu I'm pretty sure this is character specific as Steve I can live hits by air dodging where as doing nothing actually kills me

@Smash_edu I’m pretty sure that if you’re character is facing towards the blast zone then air dodging makes you live longer, but if you’re facing towards stage then it kills you earlier.

@Smash_edu Super heavies are supposed to do this I think, any others shouldn’t air dodge

@Smash_edu Weeeeee

@Smash_edu a few characters expands when the jump, most notably dedede, so they touch the blast zone sooner if they jump immediately

@Smash_edu Airdodge is great for when you're SURE a move won't kill you. It lets you save your double jump which is super valuable, yes! However, I still see way too many people airdodging when it WON'T save them, thinking it applies all the time. That AD gamble ain't always worth it. Jump

@Smash_edu Yeah but this is exactly why you airdodge up? You need to stop the momentum in most cases, and using your jump every time can get you hard punished.

@Smash_edu @CharlesThoren_ There are cases where air dodge is the only way to save yourself from hitting the blast zone. For example, getting knocked from the left side of the stage to the right blast zone. These long distance hits that would normally kill can be saved with an airdodge in.

@Smash_edu This tech is old now everyone airdodges back to stage cause it makes you live longer

@Smash_edu I knew I wasn't the only one! That's literally why I never airdodge like that

@Smash_edu what if u main a character with a shitty recovery and can’t jump do you just have to hold that or

@Smash_edu I thought I was crazy, but its true. 😅

@Smash_edu @Diamond_SSBU Sonic just became a little bit more broken (again)

@Smash_edu Even I knew this one wow am I better than these players now?
