The '''dash attack canceled up smash''' (abbreviated to '''DACUS''', also referred to as '''Boost Smashing''') is an [[advanced technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It is similar to the [[slide smash]], but more difficult to pull off and has the potential to be much longer. As its name implies, it is performed by initiating a dash attack with the [[C-Stick]] (or [[D-Pad]] if the player is using the Nunchuk; this is much easier when the C-Stick or D-Pad is angled downwards) and immediately afterward canceling the dash attack with an up-smash command. Any character can do it, but only certain characters gain a noteworthy addition to their attack strategies because of it. The furthest DACUS requires precise timing and is timed differently for each character. | The '''dash attack canceled up smash''' (abbreviated to '''DACUS''', also referred to as '''Boost Smashing''') is an [[advanced technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

*{{SSBB|Fox}}: If performed perfectly, Fox's DACUS will only cover a slightly larger distance than his running up smash. While Fox's up smash is stronger than Falco's, it has higher ending lag. Unlike Falco, Fox lacks reliable ways to set up the DACUS and as a result it sees little use in competitive play except as a surprise KO option. Interestingly, when used as a BDACUS there is no extra distance gained compared to just buffering a dashing up smash. | *{{SSBB|Fox}}: If performed perfectly, Fox's DACUS will only cover a slightly larger distance than his running up smash.
