Offensive SDI

[Machii]

I'm not sure if this is already known, so please correct me where I'm wrong, but I believe that I discovered that SDI can be performed while attacking.

Just like it's possible to SDI during the freeze frames of being hit, it's possible in Ultimate to SDI during the freeze frames while attacking. I've only tried this on Greninja's uair, but it's solid. Tapping down with the proper rhythm after inputting uair has the same result as tapping down once, simultaneously with uair. They both shift Greninja's placement towards the ground dragging the opponent with Greninja.

This may be the same mechanic that allows Ryu and Ken to cancel their attacks into specials.

Is there any way you could link a video of this occurring?

Aren't you just inputting a fast fall? I don't think you can DI if you are not in hit stun

Doesn't that suggest that it's... not SDI? Sounds like you're just buffering a fast fall.
