The '''short hop fast fall''', commonly abbreviated as "'''SHFF'''", is a technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' that enables the player to land [[aerials]] quickly. SHFFing plays a large role in the [[metagame]]s of characters with quick, long-ranged aerials, such as {{SSBB|Marth}}, as it is an effective way of [[spacing]], [[edge-guard]]ing and applying [[pressure]] to the opponent. While technically possible in ''Melee'', it is rarely used in competitive play in favor of [[SHFFL]]ing.

The short hop fast fall, commonly abbreviated as "SHFF", is a technique in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4 that enables the player to perform and land aerials quickly. SHFFing plays a large role in the metagames of characters with quick, long-ranged aerials, such as Marth, as it is an effective way of spacing, edge-guarding and applying pressure to the opponent. While technically possible in Melee, it is rarely used in competitive play in favor of SHFFLing.

Due to the lack of L-canceling in Brawl and Smash 4, the SHFF is the closest substitute to SHFFLing in Melee.

To use this technique, the player must first do a short hop. He/she must then perform an aerial attack, and quickly fast fall.
