*{{SSBM|Marth}}: Neutral aerial's large hitbox and long duration make it an effective approach option, especially out of a dash dance. This was retained in ''Brawl'' but neutral aerial's auto-cancel window was made far worse in later entries.

*{{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}: All of his aerials auto-cancel in a short hop. His aerials auto-cancel if he makes a landing, making the landing frame of the attacks safe on shield if executed perfectly.
*{{SSBM|Ness}}: All his aerials auto-cancel in a short hop. His down aerial auto-cancels as long as the hitbox is not active, making the move frame safe on shield if executed perfectly. This auto-cancel window was retained in ''Brawl''

*{{SSBM|Sheik}}: Forward aerial can autocancel almost immediately after it is initiated, doing so from frame 11 onward, making it one of the safest aerials in the game. It retains this trait in subsequent ''Smash'' games although it auto-cancels one frame later in ''Brawl'' due to the hitboxes' longer duration.

*{{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}: All of his aerials auto-cancel in a short hop. His down aerial meteor smash has good combo ability, and his Knee Smash can be used to approach and KO.

*{{SSBB|Fox}}: Back aerial has a very lenient auto-cancel window with Fox being able to hit even the shortest characters with it and still auto-cancel the back aerial. Back aerial is a  powerful [[semi-spike]] making it a good move to use near the ledge.

*{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}: Approaching with his down aerial meteor smash is known as Thunder-stomping, and it has excellent combo ability and KO power as well. Up aerial is also a decent KO option.

*{{SSBB|Luigi}}: All of his aerials auto-cancel from a short hop but more notably, he can perform two forward, up or down aerials in a short hop and he will still auto-cancel them making them strong approach tools on the ground especially forward aerial.

*{{SSBB|King Dedede}}: Back aerial auto-cancels as soon as its hitbox ends. This should not even occur as the move should have 4 frames of lag before it can auto-cancel but because back aerial's auto-cancel window is listed in the move's script before the command to remove the late hit's hitboxes, it makes the late hit linger for 4 extra frames and removes the hitboxes once the move can auto-cancel. Back aerial is Dedede's best approach option besides his grab and its unintentionally lenient auto-cancel makes his already amazing back aerial that much better.

*{{SSBB|Peach}}: Her forward aerial is a powerful spacing tool and it auto-cancels as soon as the hitbox ends. Her back and down aerials also share this trait.

*{{SSB4|Kirby}}: Back and up aerials can autocancel in a short hop. Up aerial has a large initial autocancel window and autocancels early, and is an effective juggler due to its low knockback and angle. Back aerial comes out faster than all of his aerials and is his strongest aerial, making it one of his best KO moves.

*{{SSBU|Luigi}}: Luigi can auto-cancel all of his aerials (except [[grab aerial]] which doesn't have an auto-cancel window) in a short hop, can auto-cancel all except neutral aerial in a short hop fast fall, and can perform two forward or up aerials in a short hop and auto-cancel the second one.

*{{SSBU|Terry}}: All of Terry's aerials have exceptionally wide autocancel windows. Down aerial is notable for allowing him to A-land on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] platforms, which he otherwise cannot even land on from a full hop.

Like in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', his aerials auto-cancel as he makes a landing on the ground, making the landing frame of the attacks safe on shield if executed perfectly and also follows up into tilts. The hitboxes are also active during the auto-canceling window, giving the attacks great utility in relieving pressure, approaching, and comboing, as well as for also opening up a huge combo game for him. Back aerial can [[wall of pain]] due to its speed, and is a great combo attack that can lead to [[Fire]] for KO scoring off-stage.
*{{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}: Down air was buffed in patch 6.0 to autocancel out of a short hop, this opened up a huge combo game for it.
