Horizontal momentum canceling is notably more complicated than its vertical counterpart. The most basic method is to perform a character's fastest aerial, followed by a midair jump. If this technique is performed, every character is able to survive to percentages that are at least 1% higher than in cases in which it is not. The amount that each character benefits from this basic method hinges on two factors: the speed of their fastest aerial, and the properties of their midair jump.

Horizontal air speed is not a helpful factor, since {{SSBB|Wario}}has fast horizontal air speed, but is poor at momentum canceling horizontally. It should also be noted that Ike and Snake yield better results from using an [[Air dodging|air dodge]] instead of their fastest aerial. Coincidentally, these two gain the most benefit from the basic method. Unlike vertical momentum canceling, there are multiple [[Special Move|special moves]] that aid horizontal momentum canceling; most influence the character's movement, and a few can cancel it completely.
