A '''cave of life''' is an unofficial term for an enclosed area in a [[stage]] where characters can survive to much higher percentages than usual. These areas have an impassable [[platform]] above the area, and can contain other walls, which allows characters to [[tech]] and survive potentially fatal blows. Even without teching, characters will bounce off the ceiling, which absorbs some of the knockback, and allows the character to survive longer than usual. | A '''cave of life''' is an unofficial term for an enclosed area in a [[stage]] where characters can survive to much higher percentages than usual.
