The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

- This article discusses jump-cancelling. For information on shine-canceling, see shine.
The jump-cancel occurs as a result of the pre-jump lag every character has. After the player presses X, Y, or up on the control stick, there is a period of delay, ranging from 3 to 8 frames, before the player's character actually leaves the ground. During this delay, since the character is grounded, it is possible to execute a few of the character's standing moves. Neutral-A moves like jabs, Down-Smashes, Side-Smashes, Side-B moves and more are NOT possible to execute while in the pre-jump lag or jump delay.
The up-smash works BECAUSE of the jump delay. You need to press A while holding up while in the jump delay to perform an up-smash. Interestingly, the reason for creating the jump delay may have been to help create the up-smashing. It is presently unknown why grabs, shines, and other moves are allowed in the jump delay while jabs and tilts are not.
One application of the jump-cancel is the jump-canceled grab. Most characters have more range, less startup, and/or less lag time on the standing grabs than on their dash grabs. The jump-cancel allows these characters to use their standing grab instead of their inferior dash grabs while running.
This tactic is also what allows one to do a running up smash by dashing and jump-canceling into an up smash.
The player can also, if his or her character is holding something in his/her hand, jump-cancel an item-throw to use the normal item throw instead of a running one (which has much more lag, albeit more range).
Another usage of the term 'jump-cancel' refers to the cancellation of certain attacks, animations, or movements. For example, it is possible to jump-cancel a shield into a jump-canceled attack (most commonly up B, in the case of characters like Bowser and Link) - in this instance, only one use of the word "jump-cancel" is used: "Link used a jump-canceled up B from his shield." Special shields, such as Yoshi's, cannot be jump-canceled. It is also possible to jump-cancel certain attacks such as Fox's shine. The turning animation (when a character dashes for two or three seconds and then attempts to turn around) can also be jump-canceled. Anything that can be jump-canceled can be canceled by means of a wavedash (because a wavedash involves a jump).
The jump cancel is unrelated to the double jump cancel.
