If you're talking about the shorter version, easily performed on console, then there's no technique or anything involved in doing it. You just hold forward as usual, and press and hold run after about 3-4 tiles. That's it. Samus will then charge about 4 or 5 tiles earlier than usual.

If you're on about the short charge, performed in TASes, then you should check Cpadolf's post here.

Pretty sure they mean the one where you push the run button at certain frames.

I believe that they are 25-50-70-85. Something like that. One that works almost as well is, make Samus run in place for a second, then hold forward and run at the same time. It is quite a bit easier than the short charge as well.

For semi super short charge unnassisted i simply hold forward and tap run everytime her leg closer to us hits the ground. Actually i prefer doing it fractionly before it hits the ground seems to work best for me but this is on PAL. AS samus's legs speed up it becomes harder to time the run taps. So i simply press and hold run on the third press, instead of the usually stated fourth for a very respectable unnasisted super short charge. The less time spent holding the run button for the taps the less distance covered. Remember this. So what i do is do the most tentative presses for the taps. Another words. very gently and quickly. Before long you'll be super short charging to get the missle pack at the begining of maridia like Hotarubi.

Another way(?) to do it is pressing the run button when the leg that is away from us is behind Samus and at it's highest point. It's done in like 3 or maybe 4 presses of the run button. One might be able to do it figuring out the rhythm and using very very good timing (i.e. Practice). :-]

Edit: I believe. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Look on the Main Page of the site. The Super Short Charge has been added to the techniques section.
