Alright, I have some questions before I can delve into the world of ATs and such, occasionally I see terms thrown around and have no idea what they mean. I check the guides, but the knowledge seems to be so commonplace that it isn't explained anywhere.

The terms I don't understand are:

DI, what is a DI? Down...something? If it is a technique, how do you do it?

Tilts, now shoot me because I know this is a simple term, but what exactly is a tilt and how do you do them?

I think I have more but nothing comes to mind right now, any help?

di= directional influence its when you change your trajectory after being hit to keep yourself alive longer or to get out of a combo etc.

tilts are the moves you can do when you hold your joystick in a direction (not running) and then press a.

thanks, but how do you do a DI? Do you press the control stick a certain direction at the right time or what?

DI stands for "Directional Influence".
Basically it is a fancy word for slamming on the joystick to get out of
a combo or continuous attack. For example, if you are caught in Bowser's
Fire Breath, you can slam left and your character slowly moves left.
