'''Crouch cancel''' (or '''CC''') is a term in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series which refers to the affect crouching has on getting hit. When a crouching character gets hit by an attack, it will reduce the effect of an attack on the user compared to if they are doing any other action (besides [[shield]]ing). If a character is crouching when they get hit by an attack, they will suffer from less [[hitlag]], as well as [[knockback]] in all games except ''Brawl''.
