"Stance break" is a tech related to Y-cancels. By moving after entering the Y-cancel stance, the player can "break" their stance, returning to a neutral state and thus remove the extra Y-cancel damage decay. Normal combo decay will still apply.

Introduction
to cancel the endlag of an attack that launches the opponent"Y-Cancel" is an advanced tech in the Clash of Ninja series starting with GNT4 and continuing in all future installments, with a few adjustments. Y-cancels are performed by pressing 
after connecting with an attack to skip all ending lag of the attack. Y-cancels are important in competitive play in order to lengthen combos and for staying safe from and punishing opposing KNJ's.
Y-Cancel Requirements
- is input during start up or active frames of the attack
- Y-cancels require and use 25% chakra
- The attack must have hit an opponent
- The victim is launched in the air with a normal or spinning launch- sweeps can't be Y-cancelled
- Projectiles can't be cancelled
- Starting in Clash of Ninja: Revolution, projectiles can be Y-cancelled.
Upon successfully Y-cancelling, a sound effect will play and the user will strike a pose (or Y-cancel stance). In GNT4 a column of light appears around the user. In the Wii games a more subtle circle will flash around the attack.
Additional notes about Y-Cancel mechanics
- KNJ resets the defender's state, so the attacker may not be able to Y-cancel if the defender KNJ's quickly after being hit
- Because Y-cancels require 25% chakra, links from a Y-cancel into
will often require a just frame input if the user is not in crisis mode - Each Y-cancel adds an additional 5% damage scaling penalty to ensuing attacks, however this decay can be avoided by stance breaking
Y-cancels can be buffered! If you're having trouble getting Y-cancels out, try pressing or holding Y during the startup of the attack that you want to cancel.
