Defenestration is not a specific technique; that is, it can be performed in many ways, not just one. To defenestrate a character on a platform above the attacker, a strong attack must generally be used (usually an Up Smash, but it is possible to do this with an Up tilt, or even jumping and using an aerial). However, multi-hit Up-Smashes, like Sonic's, work fairly well too. Usually, the opponent shield, preventing them from taking damage - however, even shielded characters will take some knockback, sliding across the ground. If the attack is strong enough, the enemy will slide right off the platform and enter their [[tumble]] animation, as if they had been [[Footstool Jump|Footstooled]], and land on the ground next to the attacker, leaving them wide open for a powerful blow. An additional advantage is that the landing cannot be [[tech]]ed. | Defenestration is not a specific technique; that is, it can be performed in many ways, not just one.

A particularly good user of this move is [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]]. His kill moves are generally slow. However, he can defenestrate very easily because of his powerful, wide Up-Smash. A Bowser player on Battlefield, for instance, could force an opponent onto one of the low platforms, Up-Smash, and then use one of his powerful finishers on his tumbling opponent. Other characters with powerful Up-Smashes ([[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]]) or multi-hit Up Smashes ([[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]], [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]]) can also put this technique to good use. | A particularly good user of this move is [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]].

You can also use it to start up a jab or lazer lock with ease. | ||
