Pikachu's QAC: A second Look

This video shows a demostration of a possible Exploit of Pikachu's QAC

1.) What is QAC.
QAC otherwise known as Quick-attack cancelling is an advance tool which is exclusive to Pikachu. It is the ablity of cancelling out the landing frames and following up with a different input.

2.) How is it being applied in this video? Throughout the video, I am using Pikachu's Quick Attack while in the air while angling my direction slightly pass the edge of the stage. As you can see, There are very interesting results with this technique.

3.) What am I looking out for in the video? After Pikachu's last frame during Quick-attack, He is able to instantly input another command. What is unique is that Pikachu's positioning is NOT on stage but rather offstage after QAC. Usually QAC requires Pikachu to be on some ground on the ending frames so that you can cancel the "Landing lag".

4.) How is this good?
I feel this technique gives a major bonus to Pika's gimp game and edgeguarding and can be utilized as a mindgame. Throughout out the testing, I've tried using all of pikachu's jumps before the Quick-attack and suprisingly, after Quick-attacking, Pikachu regains all his jumps. Somehow, the game still reads pikachu being on some "Ground" Even though he shoots straight pass the Ledge AND the auto-snap range during the Quick Attack.

Difficulty: 8/10

I believe this can be further exploited with more tests and analzying.

what do i press to cancel it?

@Rufus2322 You need specific timing in order to cancel properly. QAC on ground requires you to input a command right before pikachu goes into the "ground-bump" animation. It becomes second nature once you understand the timing. If you haven't learned that yet.. I would advise you do so before trying this because

this vid requires that you already know the basics of QAC.
