'''Quick Attack Canceling''', abbreviated as "'''QAC'''" and also known as QuACking, is the ability of {{SSBB|Pikachu}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to [[Quick Attack]] into the ground and cancel the [[lag]] at the end of the momentum allowing Pikachu to approach very quickly.
 
==The concept==
By aiming the first half of the quick attack down and to a direction against the ground, Pikachu loses all lag from the move. This allows Pikachu to cancel the quick attack into any aerial move outside of [[down air]] (called QAC flash or Quick Attack flash). This is usually used into [[neutral aerial]]s or [[down special]] kills (both vertical and horizontal). Due to the properties of the move, it is possible to "stun" the opponent using the first half of the quick attack and then hit them with another aerial or consistently hit someone's [[shield]]. It is also part of many techniques:
*Quick Attack lock or QAC lock: By [[footstool jump]]ing on an opponent and then repeatedly QAC'ing into an opponent, Pikachu can infinite an opponent. It is possible to also QAC lock if an opponent near Pikachu misses a [[tech]].
*Slope cancelling: By quick attacking against any slope, Pikachu can cancel the Quick Attack into any move and gain momentum
*Quick Attack [[edgehog]]: It's possible to Quick Attack cancel off the [[ledge]] and then regrab the ledge with the 2nd half of the move.
