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]]'', and returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the technique has been removed for all other characters who could previously perform it; only the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} and {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} can still perform this technique, as of version 13.0.1. | |||
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 initially discovered with {{SSBB|Toon Link}} in ''Brawl'', hence the "WindWaking" nickname, 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 the physics engine works in the ''Smash Bros.'' titles since ''Brawl''. If a character who has a stall-then-fall aerial (excluding characters with stall-then-fall aerials in ''Ultimate'' other than the aforementioned Ice Climbers and Zero Suit Samus) performs their [[down 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). | |||
