This one's a bit confusing, while you can indeed cancel a focus attack the fact that canceling a fully charged focus attack costs super meter is wrong, what WOULD cost you this 50% meter is actually focus cancelling a special move, for example: Shoryuken -> Focus Attack (this cancels the shoryu right after it hits AND costs 50% meter -> dash cancel (which costs nothing).
