sdi
What does sdi mean?
Different beast from regular DI. During the freeze frames of a hit (hitlag), rapid stick inputs shove your character a little in that direction. Stack enough and you can wiggle out of a multi-hit move before the finisher connects.
"SDI out of the multihit and you dodge the kill move entirely."
Origin
Super Smash Bros. series. Short for Smash Directional Influence.
