The '''down air stall''' (sometimes referred to as '''WindWaking''') is an exploit which allows a character with a [[stall-then-fall]] aerial (with the exception of {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}) to float in midair. It was introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It was initially present in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as well, notably affected {{SSBU|Bowser}}, {{SSBU|Sheik}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}, {{SSBU|Sonic}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}}, {{SSBU|Greninja}}, {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}, but was removed in patch {{SSBU|4.0.0}} | |||
The '''down air stall''' (sometimes referred to as '''WindWaking''') is an exploit which allows a character with a [[stall-then-fall]] aerial to float in midair. It was introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' | |||
==Description== | |||
Although it was discovered with {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, the [[glitch]] is not exclusive to Toon Link. In fact, it may not be considered a glitch at all. It is an exploitation of the way that ''[[Brawl]]'''s physics engine works. If a character who has a stall-then-fall aerial performs their [[down aerial]] (or in Ivysaur's case, an [[up aerial]]) at a certain height they will lag and hover for a while. | |||
==How to perform== | |||
Using the down aerial repeatedly after being thrown or otherwise launched into the air will eventually cause the character to perform a small hop, then float in the air for a short time in the normal position for their down aerial. | |||
==Application== | |||
Since its movement can be controlled while the player is stalled (like Peach's [[float]]), it can be used as a recovery [[technique]] to glide back onstage (see the video below). | |||
