Dash-canceling: Difference between revisions

It is possible to cancel a dash with a [[forward smash]] in all Smash games through the use of the [[small step forward smash]] mechanic, which allows a 3 frame window to cancel the dash into a forward smash in the same direction as the dash, and a 1 frame window to forward smash in the opposite direction. Since this is a tight window, it doesn't allow the dash to extend very far before requiring a dash cancel. However, one could theoretically initiate a dash, cancel the dash with dash back, and then cancel the dash back with the small step forward smash to perform a pseudo-pivot forward smash.
