[[File:Lc1.gif|thumb|The landing lag of {{SSBM|Link}}'s down aerial can clearly be seen. Even when the green Link uses [[L-canceling]] to reduce landing lag, it is still noticeable.]]
'''Landing lag''' occurs when a character in the middle of an [[aerial attack]] lands on the ground, resulting in a longer-than-usual landing animation. A clear example is [[Link]]'s [[down aerial]]; hitting the ground during the attack results in Link's sword getting stuck, and he has to spend a significant amount of time pulling it out before he can do anything else. Each aerial attack has its own amount of landing lag; most [[special move]]s tend to continue execution instead of being interrupted when the user lands. [[L-cancelling]] will reduce landing lag, while [[auto-cancelling]] will avoid it.
