Momentum canceling

Momentum Canceling is the a very necessary element of super smash bros brawl. It is done by using your quickest attack as soon as you have been hit by a medium to high velocity smash (or similar). Doing this cancels all of you hit lag and allows you to perform other actions while in the air. A preferable combo after being hit is Uair or Bair into a b projectile or even another quick aerial attack. This technique allows you to survive to an upward of 200% with most characters (given that the smash isn't snake's or DDD's over smash). You can take this technique farther by fast-falling or using DI on the aerial. If hit upwards, it is recommended, generally, that you use your Dair as most tend to give you a slight push downwards, and they are easier to fast-fall.
