The '''double jump cancel''', sometimes abbreviated as '''DJC''', is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' usable by [[Yoshi]], [[Ness]], [[Peach]], and [[Mewtwo]]. These characters have what is known as a [[Midair_jump#Delayed_double_jumps|delayed double jump]], and thus they can [[jump]] and [[double jump]] from the ground, then attack immediately afterward to cancel their upward momentum and land on the ground soon after their attack. (Without the double jump cancel, the player would have to wait out the full length of the jump or double jump before being able to land.) This tactic is used to perform aerial attacks much more quickly than normal, thus enabling aerial combos and allowing [[KO]]s to be performed more quickly. | The '''double jump cancel''', sometimes abbreviated as '''DJC''', is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Double jump canceling was almost | Double jump canceling was almost completely removed in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', as using aerial attacks during a midair jump with {{SSBB|Yoshi}}, {{SSBB|Peach}}, {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, or {{SSBB|Ness}} will no longer cancel their momentum but rather cause them to use the aerial whilst still rising up. However, most of their [[special move]]s can still be DJC'd. Also, it is possible for Yoshi, Mewtwo, and Ness to perform a pseudo-double jump cancel on certain stages via [[platform cancelling]], which is useful for [[mindgames]] and following up with grounded moves. | ||

Ness' | Ness' play in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'' is almost completely reliant on this technique. Because his aerials provide high [[hitstun]] and damage, as well as having large [[combo]] ability (especially when coupled with other moves such as his tilts), he can perform [[zero-death]] combos on several characters. At one point this ability was even considered [[broken]] in ''Smash 64''. However, it has since lost such recognition due to Ness' short range, but nonetheless is an important part of his [[metagame]] and should still be commonly used in high level Ness play in both games. See also [[shield break jump]]. | ||

Yoshi's double jump cancel is extremely useful in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', allowing him to quickly throw out neutral aerial chains on [[floaty]] characters and up aerials to continue combos on [[fastfaller]]s. Yoshi's DJC combos are most effective on floaty characters, especially since his up tilt cannot combo them, unlike with fastfallers. Yoshi can often finish his DJC combos with a forward aerial [[meteor smash]] on most characters. | Yoshi's double jump cancel is extremely useful in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', allowing him to quickly throw out neutral aerial chains on [[floaty]] characters and up aerials to continue combos on [[fastfaller]]s.

One obvious downfall of this tactic in both games is that Yoshi loses his double jump, possibly resulting in a self-destruct when offstage. This can be extremely detrimental to him, as he lacks a third jump, and if Yoshi is hit away from the stage, Yoshi will have almost no means of recovery, outside of the directional [[air dodge]] in ''Melee''. | One obvious downfall of this tactic in both games is that Yoshi loses his double jump, possibly resulting in a self-destruct when offstage.

As with all characters, Mewtwo must not perform the DJC frame-perfect, as it will hit the ground before its air attack connects. | ||

As detailed on the [[Midair_jump#Delayed_double_jumps|delayed double jumps]] page, | As detailed on the [[Midair_jump#Delayed_double_jumps|delayed double jumps]] page, these four characters in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'' do not have an immediate upward boost applied upon using their double jump, but rather have a continuous upward force applied throughout the duration of the jump (such that they do not rise immediately). Thus it is possible to interrupt the upwards force with an attack, cancelling the player's momentum and the rest of the force. | ||

Double | Double Jump Cancelling works by allowing the user to perform an air attack while remaining close to the ground (most aerial attacks are performed at a short hop's distance from the ground). However, if the user performs a DJC with frame perfect precision (known as an "Instant Double Jump Cancel" or IDJC), they will actually hit the ground before the [[hitbox]] from their air attack comes out. This is true of every attack for every character who can DJC. It should be noted, however, that performing an IDJC is incredibly difficult under normal circumstances, and most often, players will be performing a DJC. | ||

The player's double jump will be canceled and they will perform the aerial attack and immediately fall. The player may [[fast fall]] almost immediately, and L-cancel the aerial very quickly. The result will cause the character using this technique to perform an attack(s) in the air extremely quickly. | ||
