'''Landing lag''' occurs when a character in the middle of an [[aerial attack]] lands on the ground, resulting in a longer-than-usual landing animation. A clear example is [[Link]]'s [[down aerial]]; hitting the ground during the attack results in Link's sword getting stuck, and he has to spend a significant amount of time pulling it out before he can do anything else. Each aerial attack has its own amount of landing lag; most [[special move]]s tend to continue execution instead of being interrupted when the user lands. [[L-cancelling]] will reduce landing lag, while [[auto-cancelling]] will avoid it. | '''Landing lag''' occurs when a character in the middle of an [[aerial attack]] lands on the ground, resulting in a longer-than-usual landing animation.

Landing lag occurs when a character in the middle of an aerial attack lands on the ground, resulting in a longer-than-usual landing animation. A clear example is Link's down aerial; hitting the ground during the attack results in Link's sword getting stuck, and he has to spend a significant amount of time pulling it out before he can do anything else. Each aerial attack has its own amount of landing lag; most special moves tend to continue execution instead of being interrupted when the user lands. L-cancelling will reduce landing lag, while auto-cancelling will avoid it.
Trivia
- In SSB, not all aerial attacks have unique landing animations.
