-'''Charge-canceling''' is the act of canceling or storing a certain [[special move]] that can be charged, such as [[Samus]]' [[Charge Shot]].
+'''Charge-canceling''' is the act of halting the charging of an auto-[[charge]]able [[special move]], such as [[Samus]]' [[Charge Shot]]. This allows the user to store a partial charge and resume charging the move later.
-While charging such an [[attack]], players can [[shield]] to cancel/store the charge, perform a [[grab]], or tap left/right on the [[control stick]] or [[d-pad]] to immediately roll out of the charge, which also cancels/stores it.
+While charging such an [[attack]] on the ground, players can cancel the charge and (usually) store it by pressing a [[shield]] or [[grab]] button, or tapping sideways on the [[control stick]] or [[D-pad]] to  [[roll]] out of the charge. If they are in the air while in their charging state, canceling it with a shield or grab button will make them cancel it with an [[air dodge]] instead. In ''Ultimate'', these moves can also be canceled by [[jump]]ing.
-Some charge attacks can be charged and canceled in the air, such as [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Giant Punch]] or [[Sheik]]'s [[Needle Storm]]. To cancel a charge in the air, players can simply press the [[shield]] or [[grab]] button while charging. Due to its [[buffer]] system, charge-canceling Giant Punch in ''Brawl'' will result in the Donkey Kong performing an air dodge if the input is entered late into the charge animation.
+If a character is hit while charging one of these moves (other than [[Bonus Fruit]] and [[Limit Charge]]), they will lose the charge completely and have to start over, regardless of whether they had stored a charge before.
-==List of moves that can be charge-cancelled==
+Due to its [[buffer]] system, charge-canceling Giant Punch in ''Brawl'' will result in Donkey Kong performing an air dodge if the input is entered late into the charge animation.
-Samus is the only character who cannot charge cancel in midair, since [[Charge Shot]] cannot be charged in midair.
-*[[Donkey Kong]]- [[Giant Punch]]
+In ''[[Smash 4]]'' there is also a variant known as [[instant charge-canceling]] which consists of inputting a neutral attack, tilt attack or Smash attack in a certain timing without having to cancel the chargeable move with the shield. It is exclusive to Cloud, Diddy Kong, R.O.B., and Sheik.

-*[[Samus]]- [[Charge Shot]]
-*[[Sheik]]- [[Needle Storm]] (unique in that it doesn't charge by itself by single button tap, and must be held down for charge until ''Brawl'')
-*{{SSBB|Squirtle}}- [[Water Gun]]
-*[[Kirby]]- can copy Giant Punch, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, Needle Storm, Charge Shot, or Water Gun

+There is also a variant known as [[charge storage canceling]], which can occur if the charge move has an animation when being cancelled. This is performed by canceling a charge with a shield/[[air dodge]] input or in ''Ultimate'', a jump input and then letting go of the input before the charge storage animation can finish. Holding the input for too long will result in a shield/air dodge/jump but letting go before the animation ends will result in the player being able to access their entire moveset. This can only be done with charge moves with a charge storage animation however.
+==List of moves that can be charge-canceled==
+Prior to ''Ultimate'', Samus and Mii Gunner were the only characters who could not charge cancel in midair, since [[Charge Shot]] and [[Charge Blast]] were unable to be charged in midair; this was changed in ''Ultimate''. Additionally, Mewtwo's and Lucario's auto-charge specials (as well as Sheik's in ''Melee''). will continue charging even at max charge unless canceled or fired during that period, as opposed to automatically stopping like everyone else.
+Also prior to ''Melee'', characters could use a normal attack button to unleash the charged attack mid-charge as well.
+*[[Bayonetta]]: [[Bullet Climax]] (charge cannot be stored; cannot be canceled with a jump)
+*[[Byleth]]: [[Failnaught]] (until fully charged; charge cannot be stored)
+*[[Cloud]]: [[Limit Charge]]
+*[[Dark Samus]]: [[Charge Shot]]
+*[[Donkey Kong]]: [[Giant Punch]]
+*[[Hero]]: [[Frizz]] (charge lost upon canceling)
+*[[Kirby]]: can copy all moves listed here except Limit Charge, F.L.U.D.D., Ultimate Uppercut, Poison Breath, and Gyro.
+*[[Little Mac]]: [[Straight Lunge]] (''Ultimate'' only; charge cannot be stored)
+*[[Lucario]]: [[Aura Sphere]]
+*[[Mario]]: [[F.L.U.D.D.]]
+*[[Mewtwo]]: [[Shadow Ball]]
+*[[Mii Brawler]]: [[Ultimate Uppercut]]
+*[[Mii Gunner]]: [[Charge Blast]]
+*[[Pac-Man]]: [[Bonus Fruit]]
+*[[Piranha Plant]]: [[Poison Breath]]
+*[[R.O.B.]]: [[Gyro]]
+*[[Robin]]: {{b|Thunder|Robin}}
+*[[Samus]]: [[Charge Shot]]
+*[[Sephiroth]]: [[Flare]] (charge cannot be stored; cannot be canceled unless the special button is held down)
+*[[Sheik]]: [[Needle Storm]] (in ''Melee'', the button must be held to charge, and rolling is not possible without pressing a shield button)
+*[[Squirtle]]: [[Water Gun]]
+*[[Wii Fit Trainer]]: [[Sun Salutation]]
+Starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', fully completing the charge of any of these specials will briefly display glowing stars on the character's eyes in their battle portrait. In the case of Miis, the glowing stars will appear on their arms.
