====Tomahawk====
A tomahawk, also called an empty hop, is a mindgame performed when a player nearby an opponent does a [[jump]], typically a [[short hop]], and simply lands back on the ground without using an attack. The intent is to make the opponent believe an aerial attack is coming and cause them to raise their [[shield]] (making the technique a bait). The jumper then has a free move on the shielding opponent, most commonly a [[grab]].
