(It said that while in the pre-jump lag the character acts like he/she is standing. This is not entirely true, so it was corrected. - possible reason for pre-jump delays was added -some spelling erro) |

- This article discusses jump-cancelling. For information on shine-canceling, see shine.
The jump-cancel occurs as a result of the pre-jump lag every character has. After the player presses X, Y, or up on the control stick, there is a period of delay, ranging from 3 to 8 frames, before the player's character actually leaves the ground. During this delay, since the character is grounded, it is possible to execute a few of the character's standing moves. Neutral-A moves like jabs, Down-Smashes, Side-Smashes, Side-B moves and more are NOT possible to execute while in the pre-jump lag or jump delay.
The up-smash works BECAUSE of the jump delay. You need to press A while holding up while in the jump delay to perform an up-smash. Interestingly, the reason for creating the jump delay may have been to help create the up-smashing. It is presently unknown why grabs, shines, and other moves are allowed in the jump delay while jabs and tilts are not.
One application of the jump-cancel is the jump-canceled grab. Most characters have more range, less startup, and/or less lag time on the standing grabs than on their dash grabs. The jump-cancel allows these characters to use their standing grab instead of their inferior dash grabs while running.
This tactic is also what allows one to do a running up smash by dashing and jump-canceling into an up smash.
The player can also, if his or her character is holding something in his/her hand, jump-cancel an item-throw to use the normal item throw instead of a running one (which has much more lag, albeit more range).
Another usage of the term 'jump-cancel' refers to the cancellation of certain attacks, animations, or movements. For example, it is possible to jump-cancel a shield into a jump-canceled attack (most commonly up B, in the case of characters like Bowser and Link) - in this instance, only one use of the word "jump-cancel" is used: "Link used a jump-canceled up B from his shield." Special shields, such as Yoshi's, cannot be jump-canceled. It is also possible to jump-cancel certain attacks such as Fox's shine. The turning animation (when a character dashes for two or three seconds and then attempts to turn around) can also be jump-canceled. Anything that can be jump-canceled can be canceled by means of a wavedash (because a wavedash involves a jump).
The jump cancel is unrelated to the double jump cancel.
