Focus Attack can be cancelled by tapping left or right twice while holding down the button, making the user move a short distance in the direction pressed. This is known as a '''Focus Attack Dash Cancel''' ({{ja|セービングキャンセル|Sēbingu Kyanseru}}, ''Saving Cancel''), often abbreviated as FADC. When the move is cancelled, it will be noted by a flashing star similar to those made by [[fast fall]]ing fighters. As such, a player can use the move's starting armor to plow through attacks or projectiles, then cancel it immediately for a follow-up; this is especially useful on laggy attacks.

Both Ryu and Ken can perform a Focus Attack out of some normal attacks due to their [[special move canceling]] mechanic. By pressing the special button or doing the command input after connecting with a normal attack, Ryu and Ken will cancel the endlag of the normal attack and perform a Focus Attack. The normal attacks that can be canceled include the first two hits of neutral attack, tapped and held down-tilt, tapped up-tilt, and proximity forward-tilt and held neutral attack (in ''Ultimate''), to name a few. This allows them to deal extra damage in combos, improving their punish game.

Ryu and Ken use the exact same attack animation from the ''SFIV'' series in ''Smash Bros.'', complete with the black "aura" and ink effect around Ryu's fist and Ken's leg when they release the attack. However, in ''Smash'', the move cannot be used to cancel other special moves or smash attacks, and the Focus Attack itself must either connect with an opponent or be slightly charged before it can be dash canceled, unlike in ''SFIV'' where the user is capable of dashing out almost immediately; however, Ryu and Ken can turn around right after the charge animation to attack in the other direction, an alteration unique to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
