== | ==Description== | ||
Although it was | Although it was discovered with [[Toon Link (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 dair (or in [[Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur]]'s case, a [[uair]]) 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 dair. | |||
==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). | |||
