In order to V-cancel, the character must be in the air, not in [[hitstun]], not in an attack animation, and cannot have fully pressed the L or R button within the last 40 frames. If done correctly, the initial knockback velocity is reduced to .95x the original, resulting in a 5% decrease in knockback. | ||

V-Canceling is not a glitch, but an intentionally coded gameplay mechanic. The method of activation is similar to [[teching]], in that both require fully pressing a shoulder button and have a 40 frame lockout period.

The method of activation is similar to [[teching]], in that both require fully pressing a shoulder button and have a 40 frame lockout period. However, not only is V-Canceling much more difficult to perform than teching due to the miriad of prerequisites and relatively tight 3 frame input window, but the difference in knockback is so slight that it often goes unnoticed during a match if it happens. Still, the technique is completely doable, and is often done on accident, with common situations including getting hit before teching on the ground or air dodging. This is why the technique took 14 years to discover, its effects simply went unnoticed by all but the most vigilant and studios players. | ||
