'''Dash attack canceling''' (also called '''Smash-boosting''') is a technique that can be performed by all members of the cast of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It involves performing a dash attack and interrupting it with an up-smash. However, for some characters like [[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]], [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]], [[Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers]] and [[Fox (SSBB)|Fox]], it is extremely hard to perform, even if you slow the time down. Because of the way that dash attacks work, this results in a seamless transition. Additionally, if the dash attack is one that has a lot of movement, this can result in the character performing this to slide while performing the up-smash. In the case of [[Solid Snake]], this slide is very long, and is known to some as Snakedashing.

==How to easily perform dash attack cancel==
*A [[boost grab]]
1.Simply connect the attack at the initial frames and perform an up smash. This only works for a few characters, such as Snake and Falco.
*A [[dash attack canceled up smash]]

2.This method can only be used on the [[Gamecube Controller]] and the [[Classic Controller]]. One should set grab or attack to one of the shoulder buttons, and smash attack to the [[C-Stick]]/Right Analog Stick.  Tap jump should be turned off.  Start dashing by smashing the control stick diagonally up. The character should be dashing. Then, tilt the smash attack stick to any direction other than up. The character will do a dash attack.  Immediately after tilting the smash attack stick, press the attack/grab shoulder button. If the character has a relatively longer time for dash attack canceling to work, such as Snake, Link, Falco and Wario, dash attack canceling would work.
 
3. This can also be performed with the Wiimote and Nunchuck control scheme.  To do this in the easiest possible way. Turn on the Shake Smash. Now you can just dash and madly flail the remote up and down. Most of the time, this will successfully do it.
 
An alternative way to perform the Snakedash is to first dash, then when ready to attack, hit down on the C-stick and immediately after doing so, hit Up with the analog stick and Z at the same time.
 
==Useful dash attack cancels==
 
*[[Falco (SSBB)|Falco's]]  Dash attack canceling while hitting the opponent with the initial frames of the dash attack can combo easily to his up smash.
 
*[[Jigglypuff (SSBB)|Jigglypuff's]]  Covers a great distance when dash attack is canceled into an up smash.
 
*[[Link (SSBB)|Link's]]  Dash attack canceled into an up smash covers a greater distance than a jump-canceled up smash.
 
*[[Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu's]] Dash attack canceled into an up smash followed by a quick thunder makes for a massive combo that will KO at 50% or more.
 
*[[Sheik (SSBB)|Sheik's]]  Covers a great distance when her dash attack is canceled into an up smash.
 
*[[Solid Snake (SSBB)|Snake's]] As mentioned above, it can let Snake to slide a long distance quickly.
 
*[[Wario (SSBB)|Wario's]] covers a great distance. The initial frames of his dash attack can also cancel into his up smash. At low percentages, [[Chomp]] will combo can combo into a DAC up smash.
 
*[[Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf's]]  Dash attack canceled into an up smash covers a greater distance than a jump-canceled up smash.
 
*[[Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda's]]  Because her up smash picks people up and locks them in, her dash attack canceled up smash can rack up a lot of damage.
