I play Etalus and currently his n-special locks you into a very long animation. I love that move and I think it’s cool to go for aura kills with it, risking it all on a potential read.
However, occasionally I misinput the move while recovering offstage and it results in a death. The misinput is always my mistake but I dont think I guaranteed death is a warrented punishment for such an easy to make mistake.
I dont know what this change looks like balance-wise but this is something that has happened to me many times and it would be cool to see n-special cancellable by up-special or something
Thank you for listening

Maybe some walljump window during recovery could work
cancel n-special sounds kewl to me too. i too have lost lifes like this

I think canceling the aerial startup with double jump would be awesome, it’d help with situations like this while also making it more real as a way to threaten shields with its unique frozen shield mechanic in neutral by jumping at them and starting a nspecial and mixing up from there, and it isn’t free as the cancel uses a resource
