It is impossible to be stunned while airborne. Possibly as a result, any airborne state induced upon a stunned character will cancel the stunned state immediately and they will enter a normal midair state. | It is impossible to be stunned while airborne.

While only a broken shield and a shattered reflector is capable of activating a stun state in ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'' introduced a type of hitbox that instantly activates stun, a type that has been used in a small amount of moves throughout the series. | |||
The stun effect is [[weight]] independent, but the amount of knockback dealt can still be affected by knockback modifiers and [[Armor|knockback resistance]] (such as from the [[Metal Box]]). A stun effect hitbox will fail to stun the target if it doesn't deal any knockback, or doesn't deal more knockback than the target's armor threshold (such as [[Bowser|Bowser's]] [[Tough Guy]] mechanic in ''[[Bowser (SSB4)|Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Bowser (SSBU)|Ultimate]]''). However, stun duration itself is independent of knockback. | The stun effect is [[weight]] independent, but the amount of knockback dealt can still be affected by knockback modifiers and [[Armor|knockback resistance]] (such as from the [[Metal Box]]).

[[Button mashing]] reduces the duration of shield break stun by 4 frames per input in ''Smash 64'', and 3 frames per input in later games (5.4 for buttons in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', but they cannot be inputted as quickly as stick inputs); compared to other status conditions, this leaves players highly vulnerable during a shield break, even with exceptionally fast mashing. | [[Button mashing]] reduces the duration of shield break stun by 4 frames per input in ''Smash 64'', and 3 frames per input in later games (5.4 for buttons in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', but they cannot be inputted as quickly as stick inputs); compared to other status conditions, this leaves players highly vulnerable during a shield break, even with exceptionally fast mashing. | ||

Rool}}'s [[Belly Super Armor]] broken in ''Ultimate''. Additionally, in ''Ultimate'', equipping [[spirit]]s reduces the initial shield break stun frames by an amount equal to the character's Defense stat divided by 50, for a maximum reduction of 200 frames with a Defense of 10,000. | ||

'''p''' is the opponent's percent after Disable hits, while '''h''' is a handicap equal to the victim's current rank disadvantage over the attacker (for example, if the victim is placing 4th and the attacker is placing 1st, it is equal to 3). As a result, players that are currently losing will be stunned for less time, and the minimum possible stun time without button mashing can be 96, 81, 66, or 51 frames depending on their rank disadvantage. Button mashing reduces Disable's stun time by 5 frames per input. | ||

*When [[Samus]] is stunned, her Power Suit starts to short-circuit, causing erratic and almost glitch-like movement.

*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', the 90 frames used for minimum stun time from a shield break in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'' are still present in the games' code alongside other shield parameters. This suggests the minimum time was still originally intended to be used, but either did not work due to a coding error or was deprecated. | *In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', the 90 frames used for minimum stun time from a shield break in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'' are still present in the games' code alongside other shield parameters.
