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]]''. It's also present in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and to a lesser extent in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' | 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.

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 performs their [[down aerial]] at a certain height, they will lag and hover for a while in the normal position for their down aerial. 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. | Although it was initially discovered with {{SSBB|Toon Link}} in ''Brawl'', hence the "WindWaking" nickname, the [[glitch]] is not exclusive to Toon Link.
