*For every five consecutive hits a character takes, the SDI distance for the next five hits is increased by 1.15×. As a result, the longer a character is trapped in a multi-hit attack, such as a [[rapid jab]], the easier it is to escape with SDI. | *For every five consecutive hits a character takes, the SDI distance for the next five hits is increased by 1.15×.

*If a character is hit at least 20 times, they are allowed to SDI upward even if on the ground, where vertical SDI is otherwise restricted, and thus go airborne. While this has very limited practical utility, it notably allows characters to escape {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s "Wobbelle" setup, which involves her trapping opponents at the edge with repeated hits of her [[neutral attack]], due to its combination of low knockback and high [[hitstun]]. | *If a character is hit at least 20 times, they are allowed to SDI upward even if on the ground, where vertical SDI is otherwise restricted, and thus go airborne.

*Since version {{SSBU|4.0.0}}, characters with [[passive shield]]s (namely {{SSBU|Hero}}, {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}}, and {{SSBU|Young Link}}) can also shield SDI if they block a projectile with them. | |||
As a result, while SDI remains considerably limited in utility (coupled with the nerfs to {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} and {{SSBU|Ryu}}, especially the former, who the technique in ''Smash 4'' was particularly potent against), it is generally more effective for escaping long sequences of multi-hit attacks. Much like DI, SDI has gained a visual indicator when performed, allowing players to see which direction their opponent is going. | As a result, while SDI remains considerably limited in utility (coupled with the nerfs to {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} and {{SSBU|Ryu}}, especially the former, who the technique in ''Smash 4'' was particularly potent against), it is generally more effective for escaping long sequences of multi-hit attacks.
