Respect to 3GOD for putting this work in.
I also respect you, 3GOD. Thank you for taking the time to collect this data.

On Topic: I never knew Falco's spot dodge gives him 80% invincibility, amazing. And his roll is fast, only lasting for 31 frames, and he's invincible for half of it.

Peach and Zelda have one of the best, if not the best Air Dodges, i think they start being invincible before starting their dodging animations :o the same was true for melee :)

Snake has a really fast Spot dodge. I find it hard to dashgrab snake when he lands because he can do it so quickly. Same with D3.

Ganon's spotdodge makes him inch forward, so we have a clear winner.

In all honesty, his dodge and rolls suck. :(

Usually if you're spacing you don't do much but jump and spot dodge in the first place, but I haven't really experimented with the roll dodges, seeing as I barely ever do it. I do notice that it's easier to hit some characters out of their roll dodge than it is others, though.
