STOP Air-dodging in the Blast Zone!

@Smash_edu Glad that some people already mentioned it, but that's not the complete story:

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

@Smash_edu Weeeeee

@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 THE video

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