DI questions in general and about MK

[Veng]

Okay so I have never really learned how to DI which is horrible horrible horrible mistake on my part.

Well not true to a certain extent. Like I can DI out of pikachus downsmash but for the most part, like getting hit and dieing earlier then I could type DI... Lets say im mk at 110% and get marth f smashed from the middle of FD ( not tipper ) and i get hit left, I would just jam the c stick and joy stick to the right. But after reading the guide above this sounds completely wrong.

In the guide, some one also points out that using Uair cancels momentum or something.

So getting marthed Fsmashed to the left again, I would DI up by just jamming the joy stick up? then do up air? then jam right?

Im not exaclty sure how to DI, what direction to DI in and incorporating the lagless uair/areials..

thanks for the help and time.

This is a common misconception. Uair doesn't cancel momentum, it just gets you out of hitstun faster so that you can use recovery moves sooner.

In the situation you just described, you would jam up and to the right first, then uair. You could also use quarter circle DI, which is jamming it straight up and then rotating it around to the left. In QCDI you would c-stick a uair to get yourself out of hitstun.

Also, we have a Q&A thread for these things.

Gates: so the DI would be jamming up and to the right since im flying left thats with the c stick and joystick right? this is canceling my momentum? then whats the uair do?

so if im flying up i would want to jam left or right and down with the c stick and joystick then up air?

I think I got this right.

Hold the Joystick UP if you are getting hit to the side, hold the joystick LEFT OR RIGHT if you are getting hit up, all this does is change your trajectory, doesn't cancel momentum or anything and doesn't require much timing.

After you change your trajectory do you Uair once? to cancel momentum or something? then fast fall safely back, so all in all timing isn't required, just remember to do it.

then SDI for getting out of combo attacks and stuff.
