Smash DI

Summary

When being subjected to certain multi-hit attacks from opponents, it's possible to escape by using a technique called "Smash DI", which allows you to change your position during the attack.  This is achieved by either repeatedly smashing the analog stick in a specific direction or rolling the analog stick multiple times back and forth along an edge, usually up or up and away from the attack.

  • Different opponent multi-hit attacks require tilting the analog stick in a different direction

    • Smash the analog stick repeatedly in a direction (either up or away from the attack)
    • Roll the analog stick repeatedly along the edges in a direction (either up or away from the attack)
  • If executed correctly, your character will escape from the multi-hit attack
Uses
  • Escape from being locked into an opponent's multi-hit attack
