The '''skidding animation''' plays when the character stops running after their initial dash and attempts to stop their momentum. The length of this animation varies between characters, but it can also vary depending on the speed the character is running at relative to their maximum running speed. Shorter skidding animations are preferred, particularly in ''Smash'' games where dash canceling is impossible. For example, in ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Bowser}}, {{SSB4|Charizard}}, {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, and {{SSB4|Lucario}} have extremely short skidding animations even after stopping at maximum speed, which effectively allows them to do any attack out of their runs with little lag in between, or even seamlessly begin another dash in the opposite direction. This animation can only be canceled with a jump, or with an [[item]] pick up if one is nearby. Its first few frames can also be canceled into any special move.

Because the initial dash animation translates into the running animation much later than in ''[[Brawl]]'', it is a vital tool for movement in general and [[dash-dancing]] in particular.

* [[Turn]]ing around by mashing the control stick in the opposite direction. Turning around takes one frame during which the character is standing and can do all ground attacks except neutral special. If the control stick stays in a neutral position after this pivot frame, the character will keep standing.
