When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified.

:''Not to be confused with [[tech]]ing, which is officially known as "breaking your fall" in ''Smash 4'' and "fall break" in ''Ultimate''.''


'''Fall Break''' is an attribute present in certain moves that makes a character briefly cancel fall momentum to stop in midair or even cause them to bounce upward. All of these special moves can be used multiple times in the air, but have this effect only once even if hit afterward (with a few exceptions). This is refreshed when landing on the ground. Most often these are used as mix up tools for recovering, approaching, landing, etc.

==Pseudo Fall Breaks==
==Notable Fall Breaks==
There are some moves that have similar properties of a fall break, but not officially recognized due to the technical details of the move. Pseudo fall breaks consist of the following:
*Samus and Dark Samus' Bomb Drop triggers a bounce when imputed that can be used multiple times in midair, and can make them bounce a second time if they're within the explosion's range.
*Yoshi's Egg Throw grants a considerable hop when used for the first time in midair as a benefit for not having a 'true' recovery move.
*Pac-Man's Hydrant causes a Fall Break when dropped and will fail if a hydrant is already out, but can be used again when the hydrant despawns.
*Byleth's Areadbhar's Fall Break can be used an infinite amount of times akin to Samus' Bomb Drop.


*All Special Moves that travel in a set trajectory such as {{SSBU|Sheik}}'s [[Bouncing Fish]], {{SSBU|Fox}}'s [[Fox Illusion]], or {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}'s [[Witch Twist]] and [[After Burner Kick]], to name a few examples.
The following do not qualify as Fall Breaks:
*All Special Moves that travel in a set trajectory such as {{SSBU|Sheik}} down special and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} side special and up special.
*All Special Moves that lead to free fall.
*All Special Moves that lead to free fall.
*Some Special Moves cancel some or all momentum, such as {{SSBU|Ness}} up special, {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} neutral special and {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}} side special, but are moves that:

==Trivia==
*In ''Melee'', the first hit of Marth’s Dancing Blade is a crucial recovering tool, as it causes a fall break that stalls to improve his horizontal distance.
*Lucario's down air is the only aerial attack that has a Fall Break.
*In ''Brawl'', Fox’s Reflector had no limit to how many times the move would cancel falling, making it notorious for its uses in landing and stalling.
*Kirby's floaty physics cause some Copy Ability fall breaks to be noticeably strengthened, such as Greninja's Water Shuriken.
