'''Platform canceling''' is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that allows the player to instantly land on a moving [[platform]] after [[jumping]] up through it. This allows players to quickly make any move by canceling the time otherwise spent falling and landing on the platform.

Platform canceling is performed by jumping through a moving platform and then inputting down on the [[control stick]] or the [[C-Stick]] along with any other action as the player is about to go through the platform. If the player inputs a [[shield]] or a [[dodge]] before pressing down, then the player's character will land on the platform and immediately drop through it.

Platform cancels are often used after a KO to just add some extra flash, but platform cancels can be used to decrease the amount of [[ending lag]] of attacks, and allow a character to jump onto a moving platform faster than by jumping and [[fastfalling]]. Platform cancels are also frequently used for [[mindgames]], as the fast movement speeds created by multiple platform cancels can confuse opponents and throw them off guard. Combos involving platform cancels are frequently performed on the [[Smashville]] platform.
