Roll Dodge

I attempted to search and didn't find any results, so if this is a duplicate, please just delete this thread

Anyway, my first Snake Post WHOOOOO!!!

As I was playing random matches, I noticed that if you roll (instead of snakedashing) your opponent instinctly does three things

If the attack hits, they attempt to DI either over you or behind you

If it's blocked, they simply go behind you

If you miss completely, they'll just take advantage of you

however, as common knowledge shows, snakes roll covers a lot of ground, but I noticed that immediately dodging backwards throws off alot of players I've gone against

that is, if you dah attack to the right, and immediately dodge to the left, a good portion of the time you'll be clear to Ftilt, Utilt,Usmash or throw.

Of course powershielding is a problem, however, it becomes an even 50/50 chance of them taking advantage depending on their direction.



I'm sorry if this makes no sense, i'm trying to make it sound comprehensible.

tl;dr

Dash Attack to dodge is a good defensive tactic that can get you a cheap hit or get you out of trouble

once again, didn't see a previous thread with this idea, but if there is, deletion is recommended

Also wanna add that I found out how useful it is as I use the wiimote, and snakedashing is only done with GCN and Nunchuk

you should clarify that when you say roll, you mean dash attack... this entire post was a little confusing

figured that out after I posted, was too lazy to edit

tl;dr

Dash attack --> roll back = some mighty fine defense
