Short Hop Fast Fall Lag-Cancel, commonly abbreviated as "SHFFL" (pronounced like the word "shuffle"), is a combination of advanced techniques that, for most characters, results in the quickest and least laggy way to jump and perform an aerial from the ground in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. A SHFFL, per its name, comprises a short hop, a fast-fall and an L-cancel, and an aerial attack that occurs while the user is in mid-air.

When teaching advanced techniques to new players, Smashers often emphasize the importance of SHFFLing because the technique reflects a mastery of several important advanced techniques. SHFFLing is highly useful in battle because its speed allows players to use aerial attacks in tandem with ground moves.

Outside of Melee

  • SHFFLing can also be used in the original Super Smash Bros. While the term "SHFFL" still applies, confusion about the meaning of "L-canceling" has led some to use an alternative (and far less commonly used) name known as "SHFFZ'd" (Short Hop Fast-Fall Z-cancel) when referring to SSB because the technique uses the "Z" button instead of "L". In actuality, the term "L-cancel" is short for "Lag cancel", not in reference to the "L" button.
  • SHFFLing cannot be used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, due to an absence of the L-cancel technique. However, it is possible to SHFF (short hop fast fall).
