| |
| A '''Ukemi''', formally refered to as a '''tech''', is an action performed when the character hits the ground, a wall, or a ceiling while tumbling or in hitstun. For a long time, many smashers refered to this maneuver as a "tech", until the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] revealed the official term for it. To tech, the user must press '''L''' or '''R''' 20 [[frames]] or fewer before hitting the surface, after that, a player won't be able to tech for 40 frames; other button or control stick input can cause different types of techs.
| |
| | |
| == Types of Techs ==
| |
| | |
| A '''standing tech''' is a neutral, ground-based tech performed by pressing L or R when a character comes in contact with the floor. The character will experience a brief period of [[invincibility]], and will quickly bounce from the ground into a [[standing]] animation.
| |
| | |
| A '''rolling tech''' is a ground-based tech performed by tilting the control stick left or right on the control stick when teching. The character will bounce from the ground into a roll-like animation during which the character moves left or right while invincible.
| |
| | |
| A '''[[wall tech]]''' is a tech against a wall. The character immediately loses his [[knockback]] momentum and starts a neutral falling animation. This technique can be used while recovering to avoid dying from an edgeguard. Wallhugging with the third jump makes this a lot easier.
| |
| | |
| A '''wall tech jump''' is a wall tech performed by pressing X, Y or up when teching. The character will jump. Though wall jumping is restricted to eight characters, anybody can wall tech jump.
| |
| | |
| A '''[[ceiling tech]]''' is a tech against a ceiling. As with the wall tech, the character loses his knockback momentum and starts a neutral falling animation.
| |
| | |
| == Tech Use ==
| |
| | |
| Teching can be a lifesaver in many situations and is a good technique for beginners to learn and practice. Teching can also help the user escape from combos.
| |
| | |
| Occasionally after accumulating sufficient [[damage]], one will experience a wall or ceiling rebound that will send the player plummeting off-stage. This can be prevented by applying a wall or ceiling tech, saving the player from a deadly ricochet. This is especially useful in [[Temple|Hyrule Temple]]: a character in the large lower section of the stage can survive to very high damage and can immediately retaliate from otherwise-deadly blows. This unusual longevity is one reason Temple is [[tournament legal|banned]] from tournaments.

| | |
| The standing and rolling techs can be performed in many more situations, and can allow a character to avoid continued assault after being knocked back. However, in many situations an opponent can predict a player's teching patterns and hit him again after knocking him down; knowingly setting up such situations is known as [[tech chasing]].
