'''Interruptibility''' refers to the ability to begin a new action before the current action's animation has completely finished. For example, while {{SSBB|Mario}}'s [[forward smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' (as well as in later games) has an animation which takes 56 [[frame]]s to complete, the player can interrupt the ending frames and do something else as early as frame 48. In this case, many players use the phrasing that Mario's forward smash has a '''first actionable frame''' (FAF) of 48, or | '''Interruptibility''' refers to the ability to begin a new action before the current action's animation has completely finished.

In this case, many players use the phrasing that Mario's forward smash has a '''first actionable frame''' (FAF) of 48, or '''interruptible as soon as''' (IASA) frame 48. For most intents and purposes, this results in the last part of the animation simply being filler, as the player is likely to attack, jump, or simply move as soon as possible. Many attacks have a minor amount of interruptible frames during their [[ending lag]], while [[special move]]s and get-up animations typically do not; some attacks such as [[Marth]]'s or [[Ness]]'s [[down tilt]]s have a significant interruptibility window which allows them to perform another action significantly faster than the animation would suggest. | ||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', interruptibility is not very common, only being used at the ends of some [[taunt]]s and non-final [[neutral attack]]s. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' expanded interruptibility's applications to many attacks, and ''Brawl'' continued the idea as a common mechanic. Interruptibility continued to become even more common in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''. It is important to note that in terms of [[buffering]] from ''Brawl'' onwards, the window for an input to be buffered is related to interruptibility, and not the entire animation when applicable. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', interruptibility is not very common, only being used at the ends of some [[taunt]]s and non-final [[neutral attack]]s.
