Knowing if and when to share stock is considered a critical strategy in team matches. It is generally preferred, if possible, to discuss with one's teammates whether or not to share stock, as doing so without warning may not only be considered rude, but could put their team in a worse position. For example, if one were to steal a stock from a teammate with two stocks and a high [[damage]] percentage, the players would essentially be swapping lives, as that teammate is likely to be [[KO]]'d soon afterward (although this may be preferred in case the player "swapping in" has a better chance against the opposing team). The [[stage]] is also an important factor, as larger stages like [[Temple]] allow players to survive to much higher damage [[percent]]ages compared to smaller stages like [[Final Destination]]. When communication is not possible, such as during [[online play]], players either use their own judgements or abstain from using the technique entirely.

In [[tournament]] doubles, one of the two players on a team is sometimes designated as the "stock tank", typically whichever is controlling the character with higher survivability and/or better [[camping]]. General strategy then revolves around the stock tank playing a defensive role, while the other player plays offensively, borrowing stocks as necessary (as they will be KO'd more often), as being caught in a two-on-one with two stocks is worse than having a two-on-two with one stock each.
