Stalling is defined as any action that deliberately avoids all fighting conflict to make the game unplayable. It involves the player using a move or technique to waste time, usually done in time matches or timed stock matches. Stalling is banned in tournaments, as tournaments use timed stock matches. Stalling in a tourny will often have the smasher disqualified, though there are a few exceptions to this rule. Outside of tournaments, stalling is considered quite annoying, or even cheap.
