'''Juggle''' is a term for using a combo to repeatedly hit someone in the air without letting them recover or hit the ground. The name comes from the fact that it vaguely resembles the motion that objects make when juggled.

'''Juggling''' is a type of [[combo]] that involves repeatedly hitting someone into the air without letting them recover or hit the ground. The name comes from the motion of the victim vaguely resembling the motion that objects make when juggled.


In video games, juggling originated with ''Mortal Kombat''. In the fighting games that came before, airborne enemies were usually immune to attacks.  
The most common way to juggle is using continuously Up Tilts, but Up aerials can also be used, especially for air juggling. This is a good tecnique to raise the oponnent's damage meter, however as damage increases juggling becomes harder, since the oponnent starts flying farther.


The most common way to juggle is by continuously using [[up tilt]]s, but [[up aerial]]s can also be used, especially for air juggling. This is an effective technique to damage opponents that have poor means of protecting themselves from below. Juggling becomes harder as damage increases since the opponent experiences greater [[knockback]], allowing more opportunities for escape or retaliation.
[[Floaty|Floatiness]] is a disadvantage.  If the opponent is good at juggling (i.e. [[Marth]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]]) then since it's hard to hit the ground due to slow falling speed, you are more easily juggled (i.e. [[Jigglypuff]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Lucas]]). However, if you have fast falling speed (i.e. [[Falco]], [[Fox]], [[Captain Falcon]]), then you are much less easily juggled.  Medium-slow and Medium-fast fallers are also rather hard to juggle.


A [[character]]'s vulnerability to juggling depends on several factors. Size, [[weight]], [[falling speed]], [[gravity]], and [[hitstun]] may all play a role in determining how successful juggling might be. Higher values of these attributes generally allow the opponent to be juggled longer while lower values generally makes escape or retaliation from juggling easier. This is not completely true in the air, however, because a lower gravity and falling speed means the victim spends more time in the air.
Some characters, like Mewtwo, have ways to escape juggles ([[Teleport]], in its case). Air dodging is especially effective, as are momentum-changing aerials. Some characters have a [[Stall-Then-Fall]] move that can be used to counter juggling. Using a counterattack such as Marth or Ike's [[Counter]] works as well.


Certain characters can close off stocks through the use of juggling and recovery moves, such as [[Dolphin Slash]] and [[Boost Kick]], by using aerial attacks to push them to the upper [[blast line]] and then using the move, knocking them above the blast line and KOing them.
[[Category: Techniques]]
 
General ways to escape juggling include effective [[DI]] and [[air dodging]]. [[Momentum cancelling]]/altering aerials and specials as well as [[stall-then-fall]] moves are also useful in aiding escape. Some moves have unique effects that allow players to escape, such as Kirby's [[Stone]] or Mewtwo's [[Teleport]]. Characters that have a [[counterattack]] have a special resistance to juggling, as continuous attacks are required to sustain the combo.
