Interruptibility: Difference between revisions

'''Interruptibility''' is the ability to begin a new action even though the current action's animation has not yet finished. For example, while {{SSBB|Mario}}'s [[forward smash]] in [[Brawl]] takes 56 [[frame]]s to execute, but the player can do something else as early as frame 48. For most intents and purposes, this results in the last part of the animation simply being filler, as the player is likely to attack, jump, or simply move as soon as possible. Many attacks have a minor amount of interruptible frames during their [[ending lag]], while in general [[special move]]s and get-up animations do not; some attacks such as [[Marth]]'s or [[Ness]]'s [[down tilt]]s have a significant interruptibility window which allows them to follow up the attack much faster than the animation would suggest.

In [[SSB]], interruptibility is not very common, generally only being used at the ends of some [[taunt]]s and non-final [[neutral attack]]s. [[Melee]] expanded interruptibility's applications to many attacks.

In SSB and Melee, interrupting a delayed [[double jump]] results in [[double jump cancel]]ling. Brawl disables this by only interrupting the animation of the double jump, not the execution.
