-Short Hop Fast Fall L-Cancel is a combination of advanced techniques that results in the quickest and most lagless way to perform an aerial attack, for most characters. It is commonly abbreviated "shffl'" or "shffl", and is pronounced "shuffle".

+The '''short hop fast fall L-cancel''', commonly abbreviated as "'''SHFFL'''" (pronounced - and sometimes written - 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 attack|aerial]] from the ground in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
+A SHFFL, per its name, contains the initials of a [[short hop|'''s'''hort '''h'''op]], a [[fast-falling|'''f'''ast-'''f'''all]], and an [[L-canceling|'''L'''-cancel]], and an aerial attack that occurs while the user is in mid-air.
-To begin to learn a shffl', you need to learn the basics. Pick any character you wish (a floaty character such as Luigi would help), and go into training mode. First of all, do a shorthop, and while in the air, do an air attack. Now, do the same thing, but this time, fastfall directly after you do the air attack. You should come off the ground, pop off a quick aerial, and quickly fall to the ground again. Once you get that down, you can add the L-cancel to your aerial to make the whole process even faster.
+When teaching advanced techniques to new players, higher-leveled smashers often emphasize the importance of SHFFLing because the technique reflects a mastery of several important [[gameplay#Advanced_Movement|advanced technique]]s. SHFFLing is highly useful in battle and in [[competitive play]] because its speed allows players to use aerial attacks in tandem with ground moves.
-There are many uses for the shffl', but the main one is to attack someone who is on the ground with a quick and powerful aerial. Instead of doing a dash attack when approaching an opponent, you can pull off a quick shffl' instead. It's a quick alternative to less fast and more laggy ground moves. It's also a good way to chain together combos and make them more "fluid".

+The last one can be skipped for certain aerials if the aerial is performed very early and has reached its [[Auto-canceling|auto-cancel frames]] or ended completely upon landing. For example, {{SSBM|Marth}}'s [[neutral aerial]] and [[forward aerial]] do not have a very long duration, so Marth will hit the ground after his aerial is over. This can be tested by using a short hop fast fall (without the L-cancel) with the aforementioned moves. The player should land without the usual special effects and minor lag. This phenomenon is known as an "Autocanceled aerial" or an "Early SHFFL", and in Marth's case, an "AC Nair."
-==Double Jump Cancel Fast Fall L-Cancel==
+==Outside of ''Melee''==
+*SHFFLing is impossible in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' in its true sense. The player cannot fast fall when an aerial attack is active, so this technique has little to no use. Short hop aerials (without fast fall) are generally favored. However, characters such as {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} can execute a short hop aerial with a relatively delayed fast-fall Z-cancel. Notably, the high amount of [[knockback]] in ''Smash 64'' slightly compensates for this lag in mid-high [[damage]] levels, especially if the aggressor's main mode of attack is [[meteor smash]] aerials, which when used on grounded opponents causes [[reeling]] vertically, potentially lining up further aerial tactics.
-Almost always abbreviated as DJCFFL. This tactic is simply a quicker application of the [[double jump cancel]], and is most often used by [[Ness]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Yoshi]].  For an example, go into training mode with Ness.  Perform his double jump, and let it reach maximum height.  Now, try again, but use your second jump just as you leave the ground, and press A.  Your double jump will be cancelled and you will do the attack and immediately fall.  You may fastfall almost immediately, and L-cancel the aerial very quickly.
+==Short hop fast fall==
+The '''short hop fast fall''', commonly abbreviated as "'''SHFF'''", is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that enables the player to perform and land [[aerial]]s quickly, though not as fast as a SHFFL.

+SHFFing plays a large role in the [[metagame]]s of characters with quick, long-ranged aerials, such as {{SSBB|Marth}}, as it is an effective way of [[spacing]], [[edge-guard]]ing, and applying [[pressure]] to the opponent. While technically possible in ''Melee'', it is only used in competitive play if the player is unaware on how to L-cancel or forgets/misses it, in favor of SHFFLing. Additionally, even when moves autocancel, an advantage of still "L-cancelling" is that it will option-select a buffered [[tech]], which can be advantageous when using a move that is unsafe on crouch cancel and can be responded to with an option like crouch cancel [[Fox (SSBM)/Down special|Shine]].

+As ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'', and ''Ultimate'' lack [[L-canceling]], the SHFF is the closest substitute to SHFFLing in ''[[Melee]]''.
+To perform this technique, the player must first do a [[short hop]]. They must then perform an aerial attack, and quickly [[fast fall]].
+In ''Ultimate'', landing lag on most moves have been reduced by a large amount, so the use of SHFFing has been increased, allowing for better pressure utilization.
