In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', dash-dancing takes longer to perform, because no matter how fast it is performed, there is a small turnaround animation (except for {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}). This long window leads to generally fewer applications for dash-dancing than seen in ''Melee''; however, this also allows for [[pivot]]ing to be easier to perform than in ''Melee''. | In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', dash-dancing takes longer to perform, because no matter how fast it is performed, there is a small turnaround animation (except for {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}).

To compensate for dash-dancing's continued ineffectiveness, a number of competitive players perform a similar technique known as '''extended dash-dancing''', which returns from ''Brawl''. This maneuver combines [[fox-trotting]] and dash-dancing: the player inputs a dash and returns the control stick to a neutral position, and then inputs another dash in the same direction and quickly flicks the control stick in the opposite direction, which causes the character to change directions without going into their turn-around animation. The timing for this varies depending on each character's fox-trot window. In terms of appearance, extended dash-dancing is slower than dash-dancing in ''Melee''; this makes it less versatile while being more difficult to perform due to more frequent inputs and tighter timings, but it is still a useful technique that improves many characters' mobility. If one is adept with the inputs, mixing up between the two techniques is possible, potentially confusing opponents and pressuring them to approach or [[dodge]]. | To compensate for dash-dancing's continued ineffectiveness, a number of competitive players perform a similar technique known as '''extended dash-dancing''', which returns from ''Brawl''.

In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', a dash can be cancelled with a new dash on frame 16. If a character's dash animation is shorter than 16 frames, they must return the control stick to neutral in order to avoid entering their run animation before they can dash again, so characters with longer dash animation have an easier time extended dash-dancing. | In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', a dash can be cancelled with a new dash on frame 16.
