Short hop fast fall

The short hop fast fall, commonly abbreviated as "SHFF" , is a technique in Super Smash Bros. Brawl which enables the player to 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.

Due to the removal of L-canceling in Brawl, 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 do an aerial attack, and quickly fast fall.
