=== [[Down Smash]] (''Melee'' only) ===
Within the first few frames of a crouch, it is possible to press the [[A button]] to interrupt and perform a Down Smash, which allows you to slide while using the Down Smash. This is still considered Hyphen Smashing as the character will slide for a short distance if charged. Down Smashes are also useful approach tactics when used in this manner because they tend to sweep the ground. Unlike using the Up Smash though, the Down Smash will not cause ''all'' of the characters to slide, as some Down Smashes negate momentum like [[Link (SSBM)|Link]]'s. This technique is not available in [[Super Smash Bros.|''Smash 64'']] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|''Brawl'']] because it is not possible to cancel the dash with a crouch in these games.

It is impossible to cancel a Dash with a [[Side Smash]] because it requires that you tap the [[Control Stick]]/[[D-Pad]] left or right again, which is impossible due to the effects of [[traction]].
