It is important, especially for beginners, to note that Withdraw is not a rolling attack like [[Yoshi]]'s [[Egg Roll]] or [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Rollout]]; Squirtle is unable to change direction on its own or charge the attack beforehand. Spinning up and down hills can alter the speed in which the withdrawn Squirtle will move.  The attack can be cancelled if the control stick is moved at the opposite side that Squirtle is attacking. The invincibility provided by the move is sufficient to block many [[Final Smashes]] that do not involve grabs. [[Marth]]'s [[Critical Hit]] can be negated, but not [[Ike]]'s [[Great Aether]].

Like some other moves, Withdraws speed can be altered by smashing the [[control stick]], instead of just tilting it. Also if Squirtle gets footstooled by another player while he is performing withdraw in the air, then the move will be canceled and Squirtle will be put into a helpless state of free fall and be unable to recover until he lands on the ground or grabs a [[ledge]].
