'''Wall clinging''' | [[Image:Lucario's wall cling.JPG|250px|thumb|Lucario wall clinging in [[Kalos Pokémon League]].]] | ||
'''Wall clinging''' is a [[technique]] introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. As the name suggests, it allows the player to cling on walls. The wall cling is performed similar to a [[wall jump]], except the [[control stick]] or [[d-pad]] is held towards the wall instead of being moved in the opposing direction. Only certain [[character]]s have the ability to wall cling. While clinging to a wall, characters can [[jump]], allowing it to function like a wall jump. This can be achieved by pressing away from the wall or by pressing up or the jump button. If the control stick is pressed away from the wall, the character will wall jump off the wall. If it is pressed up, the character will instead [[double jump]]. Wall clings will not restore a character's double jump. | |||
Additional wall clings and subsequent jumps can be performed without having to land. If used correctly in combination of wall jumps, one can get a huge vertical distance if there is a wall, allowing characters that can wall cling have a huge chance to survive sudden death if used properly | Additional wall clings and subsequent jumps can be performed without having to land.

The time that the character can cling to the wall for decreases each time the they perform a wall cling without touching the ground. | The time that the character can cling to the wall for decreases each time the they perform a wall cling without touching the ground.

Various ''Smash'' | Various ''Smash'' characters have used wall clinging in their source games. In ''Kirby Super Star'', when [[Kirby]] had the Ninja copy ability, he had the ability to wall cling. Diddy Kong could situationally wall cling in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', as he could stick to honey-covered walls in {{iw|dkwiki|Hornet Hole|Donkey Kong Country 2}} and he has the same animation in ''[[Brawl]]'' for wall jumping from that game. | ||
Diddy Kong | |||
In other games, such as ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', [[Mario]] and [[Samus]] could stick to walls temporarily if they were in the process of wall jumping; however this would only last for a second or two, and they would slide downwards. | |||
