'''V-cancelling''', or '''velocity cancelling''', is a technique that decreases the [[knockback]] velocity of moves in certain situations. This is done by pressing [[L]] or [[R]] 3 frames before the hitboxes collide. In order to V-cancel a player must be in the air, not in [[hitstun]], not in an attack animation, and cannot have pressed L or R within the last 40 frames. V-cancelling reduced the initial knockback velocity to .95x the original, generally meaning that the decrease in knockback is around 5%.

V-cancelling, or velocity cancelling, is a technique that decreases the knockback velocity of moves in certain situations. This is done by pressing the L button or R button 3 frames before the hitboxes collide. In order to V-cancel a player must be in the air, not in hitstun, not in an attack animation, and cannot have pressed the L or R button within the last 40 frames. V-cancelling reduced the initial knockback velocity to .95x the original, generally meaning that the decrease in knockback is around 5%. The difference is small, but can be useful in dire situations.

It was discovered and documented by Achilles1515 in September 2015.
