Wall cling

Lucario wall clinging underneath Final Destination.

Wall clinging is 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 is held towards the wall instead of being moved in the opposing direction. Only certain characters 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.

The time that the character clings to the call decreases each time the character performs a wall cling.

The Wall Cling lasts up to three seconds for Squirtle and Diddy Kong, and up to five seconds with Sheik and Lucario.
