I'm wondering exactly how crouch canceling works. If you're on the ground, holding the stick down, will you automatically crouch cancel anything that hits you? Or does it only work some of the time? Also, is there crouch canceling or something like it in the air? I vaguely remember a Fox/Luigi match where I hit my friend in the air with Luigi's upB at high enough percentage to kill, but he barely went off the top of the screen. I could be remembering that wrong, though. Lastly, is crouch canceling even worth bothering with? I've seen crouch canceling (at least, I think it's crouch canceling) dramatically reduce the sending power of upsmashes and stuff, but I rarely see anyone actually do it.

There's no crouch cancelling in 64, that's only in Melee.

This guy is talking about the reduced knock back when your crouching....
no you dont have to do anything, just be crouching when your hit, this plus edge DI can save you from strong attacks even at high percents.
The time frame is from when you crouch , to when you stand.

From what I've seen the effect in SSB64 is a lot less pronounced than Melee though.

You just hold down while people are attacking you.....I see it happen all the time against my yoshi's up tilt which makes the move barely send an opponent up, it isn't as used in this game for a couple of reasons
1. Due to the low lag and huge combos....it doesn't help that much for the first hit against djc users like ness's up air
2. Most characters combo with throws.....and CC'ing (crouch cancelling) doesn't help against throws
3. People just forget about it xD

crouch cancel is amazing.
sometimes i dont have time to shield before some attacks so i just crouch.
even if that takes the same amount of time...

I crouch cancel all the time. Together with good (keyboard) DI diagonally down, you can escape pika or ness's utilt chains very easily.
