Deke

A Deke is a move used in Mario Smash Football and Mario Strikers Charged Football. While the player has the ball, and the opponent is coming to steal the ball, the player can press the "Y" button or tilt the "C" stick to for the Deke Move in Smash Football, or press the D-pad on the Wii Remote in the desired direction for Charged Football. The Deke Move is used to avoid the opponent's tackle. If the player has right timing, the player will successfully dodge the opponent's tackle.
