|style="text-align:left"|{{CharHead|Bowser Jr.|SSBU}} ([[Abandon Ship!]])<ref>Bowser Jr. is unique in that after using Abandon Ship!, he possesses a different air dodge that is nearly identical to his ''Smash 4'' one, except it grants two more intangibility frames and cannot be used more than once. This effectively gives him the fastest and overall most effective air dodge in the game, but only under a specific circumstance. Much like ''Smash 4'' air dodges, it is not affected by the dodge staleness mechanic, and its use does not contribute to it, but it lacks a directional variant.</ref>

*{{nerf|Min Min's neutral air dodge has more ending lag (FAF 40 → 51), matching the rest of the cast.}}

*{{nerf|Mythra's directional air dodge intangibility frames|6-24|6-21}}

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.

The air dodge landing lag glitch is a glitch in ''Ultimate'' that causes special moves that place the user into a helpless state to have their landing lag reduced to approximately 1/3 of the original landing lag. This glitch is executed by first performing an uninterrupted air dodge and then using the specified special move and landing on the ground after turning helpless. The only exception is {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}, who must cancel [[Duck Jump]] using an air dodge. They will turn helpless directly after air dodging, and the glitch will be triggered on landing. The affected special moves are listed below.

*{{SSBU|Ice Climber}} (10 frames with [[Squall Hammer]])

*{{SSBU|Ike}} (10 frames with [[Quick Draw]])

*{{SSBU|King K. Rool}} (10 frames with [[Propellerpack]] - King K. Rool needs to be helpless and not floating down)

*{{SSBU|Meta Knight}} (10 frames with [[Mach Tornado]] - this also applies to {{SSBU|Kirby}} via Copy Ability)

*{{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} (10 frames with [[Airborne Assault]] and [[Gale Stab]])

*{{SSBU|Robin}} (10 frames with [[Nosferatu]])

*{{SSBU|Wolf}} (10 frames with [[Wolf Flash]])

*Any character breaking {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}'s [[trampoline]], including another Pac-Man.

Notably, none of the special moves listed above are coded to have FAF frames in the designated character's moveset files. Instead all of them have the default landing lag, which is 29 frames for all characters except for Mythra, whose landing lag is instead 18 frames.
