Samus and Mii Gunner are the only characters who cannot charge cancel in midair, since [[Charge Shot]] and [[Charge Blast]] cannot be charged in midair. Additionally, Mewtwo's and Lucario's auto-charge specials will continue charging even at max charge unless canceled or fired during that period, as opposed to automatically stopping like everyone else. | |||

In ''[[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. | |||
==Instant charge-cancel== | |||
'''Instant charge-canceling''' is an advanced technique exclusive to Cloud, R.O.B., and (to a lesser extent) Sheik. These three characters, with a series of inputs, can almost immediately attack out of their chargeable special moves on the ground with their [[neutral attack]], [[tilt attack]]s, or [[smash attack]]s without having to cancel them with their shield (or additionally in Cloud's case, by pressing B again, which has an extra 8 frame delay). This is done by initiating the charge of Gyro, Limit Charge, or Needle Storm, waiting a few frames, and at any point after that, inputting the attack desired and immediately pressing the shield button afterwards. For Cloud and R.O.B., these inputs completely cancel their charge and immediately starts up the attack that was inputted, while Sheik still goes through Needle Storm's rather short charge cancel animation before her attacks come out. Using Attack + Special Move to perform smash attacks makes it possible to use forward smashes out of the special move if the second stick or C-Stick is set to anything other than Smash Attack (as tapping the control stick left or right generates a roll), and tilting the control stick in the opposite direction can allow for reverse forward tilts or forward smashes. The grab button can also be used to instant charge-cancel, but the technique will require one-frame timing if the C-Stick is to be used at all for the attack desired. | |||
Due to special moves being able to be performed out of the running part of the dash, instant charge-canceling allows the three characters to approach with more options than just their dash attack, grab, or aerials, making it functionally similar to a [[Dash-canceling#Crouching (Melee only)|run cancel]] in ''Melee''. It also allows for extra offensive coverage while actually charging the special move. The only disadvantages to instant charge-canceling are its marginal amount of delay even with perfect timing, due to requiring a few frames before the attack is allowed to start up, as well as its inability to be used in the air. Additionally, these special moves cannot be performed out of the initial dash (as none of them are side specials), so using instant charge-canceling for a different attack option out of the dash requires some prior distance traveled, though for all three characters, instant charge-canceling is faster than allowing the skidding animation of their dash to play out. Its somewhat complicated inputs could also lead to an input error and have another action (such as grab, shield, or a side special) occur instead of the attack desired, but with enough practice, this becomes a non-issue. | |||
