'''Platform canceling''' is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that allows the player to instantly land on a moving [[platform]] after jumping up through it. This allows players to quickly make any move by canceling the time otherwise spent falling and landing on the platform.

Platform canceling is performed by jumping through a moving platform and then inputting down on the [[control stick]] or the [[C-Stick]] along with any other action. If the player inputs a [[shield]] or a [[dodge]] before pressing down, then the player's character will land on the platform and immediately drop through it.

==Stages this can work on==
Platform cancels are often used after a KO to just add some extra flash, but platform cancels can be used to decrease the amount of [[ending lag]] of attacks, and allow a character to jump onto a moving platform faster than by jumping and [[fastfalling]]. Platform cancels are also frequently used for [[mindgames]], as the fast movement speeds created by multiple platform cancels can confuse opponents and throw them off guard. Combos involving platform cancels are frequently performed on the [[Smashville]] platform.
