Hitstun canceling is a technique introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' which is also present in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is the ability to cancel [[hitstun]] (specifically when in [[tumble]]) early with an airdodge or an aerial attack. This feature is what enables the technique [[momentum canceling]] to be performed.
