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

==In ''Ultimate''==
Hitstun canceling in ''Ultimate'' retains the same parameters as ''Smash 4'', but due to the effect of balloon knockback, most hitstun and launch speed wears off by the time one is able to attack or airdodge, significantly mitigating its effectiveness. Furthermore, the new limitations on airdodging mean that airdodging to hitstun cancel is a significant hindrance to a character's ability to avoid edgeguarding attempts or follow-up attacks.
