When teaching advanced techniques to new players, 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 because its speed allows players to use aerial attacks in tandem with ground moves. | When teaching advanced techniques to new players, Smashers often emphasize the importance of SHFFLing because the technique reflects a mastery of several important [[gameplay#Advanced_Movement|advanced technique]]s.

The last one can be skipped for certain aerials if performed very early. Go to training mode with Marth and set the speed to 1/2 or 1/4. Do a short hop and, as fast as possible, a Nair (or Fair). Fast fall it and L-cancel it. Repeat it without the L-cancel. You will notice that both variations will take the same time. This is because the attack animation ends when Marth is still in mid-air and will fall down just as you hadn't performed an attack. Since jumps can't be l-canceled, it makes no speed-wise difference whether you press L/R/Z or not. However, pressing one of these button will probably result in a airdodge or a shield, depending on whether it is pressed before or after the landing. Thus it is possible to do Fair-to-waveland and likely combos, although there are few situations where it can be used effectively. | |||
Performing the aerial early is simply described as "early shffl". | |||

*SHFFLing can also be used in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' While the term "SHFFL" still applies, confusion about the meaning of "L-canceling" has led some to use an alternative (and far less commonly used) name known as "SHFFZ'd" (Short Hop Fast-Fall Z-cancel) when referring to SSB because the technique uses the "Z" button instead of "L". In actuality, the term "L-cancel" is short for "Lag cancel", not in reference to the "L" button. | *SHFFLing can also be used in the original ''Super Smash Bros.''
