-L-canceling in ''Melee''  is performed by pressing L, R, or Z up to 7 frames before landing. Doing so causes the aerial attack's landing animation to play at double speed, cutting the lag time in half (rounded down). This makes L-canceling a less effective technique than in the previous game which is further hindered by higher fall speeds and auto-cancel windows being less lenient across the board. While every character except {{SSB|Link}} could auto-cancel all of their aerials in a short hop in the previous game, only {{SSBM|Ness}}, {{SSBM|Luigi}} and {{SSBM|Samus}} maintain the ability to auto-cancel all their aerials in a short hop and {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Zelda}} are the only newcomers who can auto-cancel all their aerials. Despite this, the decrease in lag is still significant enough to make L-canceled aerial attacks better than comparable ground attacks and it remains a vital technique in competitive play. This is especially true for characters with heavier aerial landing lag, most notably {{SSBM|Bowser}} and {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}.
+L-canceling in ''Melee''  is performed by pressing L, R, or Z up to 7 frames before landing, the landing frame being included. Doing so causes the aerial attack's landing animation to play at double speed, cutting the lag time in half (rounded down). The L-cancel window can be considerably increased by pressing L, R or Z during [[hitlag]], which also results in an L-cancel when the character lands up to 6 frames after the hitlag. While the L and R inputs can be either analog or digital, digital inputs also trigger a [[tech]] input.
+L-canceling is a less effective technique than in the previous game because of the larger landing lag, which is further hindered by higher fall speeds and auto-cancel windows being less lenient across the board. While every character except {{SSB|Link}} could auto-cancel all of their aerials in a short hop in the previous game, only {{SSBM|Ness}}, {{SSBM|Luigi}} and {{SSBM|Samus}} maintain the ability to auto-cancel all their aerials in a short hop and {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Zelda}} are the only newcomers who can auto-cancel all their aerials. Despite this, the decrease in lag is still significant enough to make L-canceled aerial attacks better than comparable ground attacks and it remains a vital technique in competitive play.
