A roll is a maneuver that moves the character left or right and renders him invincible for a short period of time.  It is performed by pressing left or right (on the control stick or the C-stick) while holding a [[shield]] button.


In order to perform a ''Roll/Sidestep'', simply press any shield button (or while holding one of them) and either left or right. You will roll in that direction.
Characters experience [[invincibility frames]] while rolling, though the amount, duration and timing of these frames varies from character to character.
 
In order to perform a ''Dodge'', simply press any shield button (or while holding one of them) and down and you will perform a dodging motion on the spot.
 
Both ''Rolls'' and ''Dodges'' have ''Invincibility Frames'' at the beginning of them (certain ''Rolls'' and ''Dodges'' have more while some have less and some are longer (though not necessarily with more [[Invincibility Frames]]) while some are shorter though not necessarily with less [[Invincibility Frames]]).
 
You can also use the C-stick to perform any of these tasks.

A roll is a maneuver that moves the character left or right and renders him invincible for a short period of time. It is performed by pressing left or right (on the control stick or the C-stick) while holding a shield button.

Characters experience invincibility frames while rolling, though the amount, duration and timing of these frames varies from character to character.
