Help with wiggling out

[SwiftOfDaSouth]

Hello all, I hope this isn't already a thread. If it is, please be so kind as to point me in the right direction.

For a while, I've been familiar with the mechanics of "wiggling out", or shaking the control stick to get out of hitstun. I just need to know the specifics about this: what exactly IS wiggling out, should you always try to do it, are there multiple ways of doing it, what is the frame data for wiggling out, and how does it influence your DI, if at all?

Thanks in advance, any reply is appreciated!

If you smash the control stick while you're in tumble, then you'll transition into Fall (and thereby regain access to all of your normal aerial options). You don't actually have to wiggle; that's just to quickly apply smash inputs repeatedly so that when hitstun ends you leave tumble as quickly as possible, without having to time the input.

Jumping or attacking will also make you exit tumble, but that's not always safe or advisable to do. If you're really far offstage where you can't possibly disadvantage yourself by using an attack, then you should attack to break tumble so that you can control your drift the whole time (without having to stop holding the control stick at all).
