In ''Melee'', there are two very similar and related mechanics that are both given the same name of '''forbidden SDI''', since they cancel out or alter an SDI input. As mentioned in the previous section, when grounded and hit by a move that doesn't launch the player upward, such as [[Fox (SSBM)/Down special|Fox's shine]], the player is unable to SDI up and off the ground. In contrast, when in the air, the player cannot SDI down into the ground.

Just like a forbidden grounded vertical SDI input, this was put in place to deny the victim from performing an air-to-ground transition. | ||

*Due to SDI's notoriety as a counterplay technique against {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} in ''Smash 4'' (because of her ability to easily set up [[ladder combo]]s that can lead to early KOs otherwise), the phrase "just SDI" has become infamous among the community as satirical advice for players who have trouble against the character. SDI in general is also commonly associated with Bayonetta as a result, to the extent that the [[Palutena's_Guidance#Bayonetta|Palutena's Guidance for Bayonetta in ''Ultimate'']] references it, with Viridi noting that to escape Bayonetta's combos, players should "just[...]wiggle around or something." | *Due to SDI's notoriety as a counterplay technique against {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} in ''Smash 4'' (because of her ability to easily set up [[ladder combo]]s that can lead to early KOs otherwise), the phrase "just SDI" has become infamous among the community as satirical advice for players who have trouble against the character.
