"The agent has access to five actions to choose from: do nothing, left dodge, right dodge, standing dodge, and Fox’s shine (essentially a shield that pushes opponents away)."

Possibly classified as left/right dodge?

It requires a shine, jump, and then a left/right dodge executed in a specific time frame, which makes it seem like it was programmed in. My guess is that they just wanted to focus on the deep learning and not get bogged down in Melee mechanics/terminology.

Left/right dodges are the rolls. Wavedashes are a more complex maneuver.
