A perfect ss1 cancel (as dubbed by Youtuber [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8gQlaPDnhQ Rockstarr93]) is a advanced version of a ss1 cancel. | |||
While in theory you will gain more plus frames this way, a perfect ss1 cancel actually has less practical applications than a regular ss1 cancel. It is also considerably more difficult compared to any other methods of cancelling ss1. | |||
You may execute a perfect ss1 cancel with ending your ss1 cancel with a clean up+back input into a neutral input. | |||
I.e. ss1, b~ub, n | |||

While this seems like a good idea, you should consider using a ss1 into qcf+2 or ss1 into df2_df+1+2 instead. | |||

How Snakeshot Works
SS 1 by itself is +3 on hit and -10 on block; However, SS 1 can be cancelled into either of her quarter circle inputs by either holding F or B after SS 1. By doing this, Nina is is given +20g in frame advantage, allowing her access to uncontested follow ups.
- SS 1,F enters crouch dash, giving access to qcf moves or iWS if F is released.
- SS 1,B enters backsway, can be cancelled with f, n to access her standing moves.

The most common way of using ss1 pressure is at the wall by executing what is called a "ss1 cancel." This cancel leaves you at a noticeable plus frame situation and is very hard for your opponent to escape from. Ss1 pressure is often not applied in the open due to ss1's somewhat lacking range. A ss1 cancel is done by first doing a ss1 and cancelling that into a back sway by holding back. The back sway itself is cancellable by sidestepping again. I.e. ss1, b, u.

Ss1 into ss
Ss1 cancel into another sidestep is an easy way to access sidestep moves. I.e. (executed by ss1, b, u~said move)
- ss+1+2
- ss+4
- ss+1
Ss1 into ss1 is often done to extend pressure whilst not achieving much. Ss1 doesn't have a ch property and is not airtight in frames making it risky for little reward. You may chain these infinitely.

A perfect ss1 cancel (as dubbed by Youtuber Rockstarr93) is a advanced version of a ss1 cancel. While in theory you will gain more plus frames this way, a perfect ss1 cancel actually has less practical applications than a regular ss1 cancel. It is also considerably more difficult compared to any other methods of cancelling ss1.
You may execute a perfect ss1 cancel with ending your ss1 cancel with a clean up+back input into a neutral input. I.e. ss1, b~ub, n
One good example is a perfect ss1 cancel into magic 4. While this seems like a good idea, you should consider using a ss1 into qcf+2 or ss1 into df2_df+1+2 instead.
