Air dodging is a technique introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and confirmed to be reappearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. As its name suggests, it allows a player to dodge attacks in midair.
Melee
In Melee, an air dodge is performed by fully pressing either the L or R button while in the air. If no direction is held, the character will stop in midair, while holding a direction causes the character to move in that direction. In both situations, the character will get some frames of invincibility (the "dodge") - but after the dodge is finished, they become helpless. It can also be used as a recovery move, but the short distance traveled makes it somewhat ineffective.
Airdodging in a downward direction will bring you in contact with the ground, which can cause a character to slide a distance on the ground. Depending on the angle of the dodge, the traction of the character on the ground and your height from the ground. This is known as wavedashing.
Brawl
Air dodging is a confirmed technique to return in Brawl, though it has undergone some major changes. Dodging with a direction will move the character there and be similar to a ground sidestep with limited invincibility frames. However, once the fall resumes, the player is in a helpless state until he reaches the ground.
