Editing SmashWiki:Article of the Week/2007-18

'''[[Directional influence]]''' (usually abbreviated '''DI''', which can be used as a verb) is the control the target of an attack has over its trajectory in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].  Each attack sends its target in a particular direction, depending on the attack itself and on the target's [[weight]] and [[falling speed]]; DI can be used to alter, but not completely change, this trajectory.  This change, however, can be vital to surviving high-power attacks such as [[Fox McCloud (SSBM)|Fox]]'s [[up smash]], and for escaping [[combo]]s such as [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff]]'s [[Space Animal Slayer]].

The player can DI by pressing the [[control stick]] in any direction during or just after being hit by an attack.  There are three types of directional influence: regular DI, smash DI, and automatic smash DI.  The type of DI changes depending on when the player presses the control stick.
