- Every time anyone lands in smash 4 they incur 4 frames of landing vulnerability. This is when you want to land a CS/missile/grab in particular, precisely as they are landing.
- Reflectors, counters and absorbers ignore the 4 frames. You definitely want to poke with a missile, threaten a grab against those characters and not simply CS.

- Any air-dodge can be canceled with z-air at any point. Rolling is 10 frames vulnerable at the end and 4 at startup. SH air-dodge can be canceled with z-air at any point and is in every way superior.

- Insta-Dash or Instant Dash, a frame perfect dash attack from neutral position. As you begin the dash instead of hitting "A" to start the dash attack, hit down-smash on the c-stick. This means you will will never do a tilt or f-smash instead of dash-attack.
