Despite its versatility, wavedashing requires considerable startup. A character is vulnerable (and not yet moving) while performing the jump and air dodge, and for 10 [[frame]]s afterwards they are unable to attack (while "landing" from the wavedash). Because of this lag, it is unwieldy for a character to wavedash in close quarters where quick attacks endanger them, and prediction and proper spacing is a must.

Because of this lag, it is unwieldy for a character to wavedash in close quarters where quick attacks endanger them, and prediction and proper spacing is a must. Since fighters are considered standing during a wavedash, they are unable to dash, and dash attack by extention. While a relatively minor handicap, it does hinder fighters that rely on dash attacks as a central part of their kit. This is especially apparent in ''Ultimate'', as dash attacks have been buffed across the board since ''Melee'' to be among the fastest and/or strongest attacks in most fighters' moveset. | ||
As wavedashing requires the use of air dodging, it is possible for players to make errors while air dodging. Regardless of the circumstances, accidental air dodges are frequently detrimental to the player. The player's character, in a state of [[helpless]]ness, is vulnerable to combos and other attacks immediately after the air dodge. A particularly notable consequence of accidental air dodges is when they occur near the ledge. Referred to as an '''Azendash''' after the professional American smasher {{Sm|Azen}}, the player can end up air dodging off the stage, beyond the range of the [[edge sweet spot]]. Although survival is possible if one uses {{SSBM|Samus}}, {{SSBM|Young Link}} or {{SSBM|Link}}, via proper use of their [[wall grapple|wall grappling]] techniques, a majority of these errors will lead to a [[self-destruct]]. | As wavedashing requires the use of air dodging, it is possible for players to make errors while air dodging.
