 ==DI in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
+===Survival DI===
+Survival DI alters the knockback direction towards the upper corners of the screen so that blastzones are escaped, preventing a kill if the amount of knockback wasn't too high.
+===Combo DI===
+Because of the high amount of hitstun in ''Melee'' compared to ''Brawl'', it is often possible to hit the opponent with another attack while he is still in hitstun. By using DI away from the attacker, the victim can increase the distance the attacker needs to travel and thus make it harder for the attacker to reach him in time.
+Most of the time, combo DI is as simple as holding left or right in the knockback direction. Against characters like {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} who have aerials with high knockback and low ending lag, it is often hard to decide between survival DI and combo DI. While combo DI might escape a consecutive hit, it might also be enough to pass the horizontal blast zones and die. Survival DI ensures that doesn't happen, but it will make it easy for Captain Falcon to land another aerial.
+===Mechanics===
 [[File:Directions.png|thumb|A diagram of the directions ''Melee'' uses for DI, [[up special move]] angles, and numerous other things.]]
 To determine the effective trajectory, the position of the control stick is read on the last frame of hitlag. [[ASDI]] is usually triggered by this as well. The highest deviation of trajectory is produced by directions perpendicular to the original knockback angle of the hitbox and amounts to approximately 18°. Holding directions that are parallel to the original angle will produce no trajectory DI at all.
