The jab cancel can be performed by any [[character]] with a multiple-attack [[neutral attack]] jab combo. At any point in the combo, before reaching the "final" hit, [[shield]] or [[crouch]] can be tapped to cancel the combo and allow the character to perform other attack moves without continuing the combo. Only crouch works in ''Melee'', due to the longer time it takes a shield to drop.
