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, aerial 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. Prominent examples of momentum canceling moves include Mr. Game & Watch's Oil Panic and Donkey Kong's Spinning Kong. (more...)
