An '''air dodge''' (or '''EscapeAir''' by internal ''Brawl'' files) is a technique introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that gives temporary [[intangibility]] frames to the user in the air, preventing attacks from hitting them. It can be described as [[spot dodging]] in midair.

An '''angled recovery''' is the opposite of wavedashing, since the player angles the [[control stick]] up. An angled recovery is useful when a player gets knocked off a stage that has multiple platforms, such as [[Temple]].

In ''Brawl'', the air dodge has been revamped. It no longer halts the character's momentum and no longer permits the user to nudge the character by pressing the control stick; it simply grants brief intangiblity along the character's current line of movement. Following the air dodge, characters are put in their regular aerial state rather than the helpless state, and thus may attack, jump, or air dodge again following their initial air dodge.

In ''Ultimate'', air dodges have received a major overhaul, containing elements from all previous games. Depending on the player's control stick input, characters can use two types of air dodges:
*If no direction is held, they perform a '''neutral air dodge''' (known as simply '''Air Dodge''' officially, and '''EscapeAir''' internally), which behaves like air dodges in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', preserving their momentum. Compared to ''Smash 4'', these air dodges have much more ending lag (with an average duration of 49-50 frames, up from 32-33 frames), but their landing lag is effectively halved (10 frames, down from 21), and they grant slightly more intangibility (two additional frames for most characters). This causes them to be much more punishable if used high above the ground or offstage, but safer to land with.

Unlike in previous games, where the duration of each character's air dodge was arbitrary, air dodges in ''Ultimate'' have their durations sorted across the cast so that every character falls approximately the same distance when air dodging. As a result, characters have shorter air dodges the higher their [[falling speed]] and [[gravity]]; following this correlation, {{SSBU|Fox}} has the shortest ones in the game, whereas {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}} has the longest ones. Likewise, directional air dodges have a longer duration if angled upward, and a shorter duration if angled downward.

All characters receive the same amount of momentum from their directional air dodges, with the exception of {{SSBU|Lucas}}, {{SSBU|Ness}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}}, who receive more, and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, {{SSBU|Steve}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Little Mac}}, who receive less, the latter receiving the least momentum out of the cast. As a result, the former have better opportunities to escape juggles, and when close to an edge, can use their air dodges for recovery as a more reliable alternative to [[PK Thunder|their up special]], which can be easily interrupted by opponents. Conversely, the latter are more vulnerable to juggling and cannot avoid [[edgeguard]]s as effectively by air dodging to the ledge; while Bayonetta benefits from directional air dodging regardless due to her recovery special moves not causing helplessness, Little Mac is noticeably hindered in comparison to the rest of the cast, especially given his infamously poor air game.
