Cancelling the Focus Attack right as the opponent gets hit is a reliable way to start combos. For example, at full charge if Ryu cancels backwards, it guarantees a sweetspotted forward smash that can be charged a small bit. If the player cancels forward, an inputted [[Shoryuken]] can be performed instead. However, a forward smash deals more damage than a Shoryuken, making it much more effective when racking up damage. | Cancelling the Focus Attack right as the opponent gets hit is a reliable way to start combos.

Both Ryu and Ken can perform a Focus Attack out of some normal attacks due to their [[special move canceling]] mechanic. By pressing the special button or doing the command input after connecting with a normal attack, Ryu and Ken will cancel the endlag of the normal attack and perform a Focus Attack. The normal attacks that can be canceled include the first two hits of neutral attack, tapped and held down-tilt, tapped up-tilt, and proximity forward-tilt and held neutral attack (in ''Ultimate''), to name a few. This allows them to deal extra damage in combos, improving their punish game. | |||
