'''Momentum canceling''' is a technique employed in Super Smash Bros. Brawl that is important in competitive play. The technique involves executing certain actions to halt or reduce the aerial momentum of a character that is knocked into the air. Since, in Brawl, attacks and air dodges can be performed while tumbling and reeling, it is possible to use these moves, in combination with others, to slow a character's aerial movement, and avoid crossing blast lines and being KOd. A prominent example of a momentum canceling move is Mr. Game & Watch's Oil Panic, which negates all aerial momentum, and may be used after tumbling has ended. (''[[Momentum canceling|more...]]'')
