Dekes

Deke is a defensive move activated by pressing any direction on the D-Pad. Each character type genrally has the same kind of deke.

Power: Stands still in one place for about two seconds to deflect any nearby opponent.
Defensive: Teleports to the direction the control stick is pointing. The distance the character teleports depends on the color of the ball. This kind of deke can be used to teleport into the goal.
Offensive: Jumps up in the air and knocks away any character that he/she lands on.
Playmaker: Does a flip to dodge attacks. Passing can still occur while in midair. Boo instead phases out for half a second. If timed correctly, you can bypass the goalie and score with this deke.
Balanced: Gets a slight speed boost to dodge incoming attacks.
