Crouching (or Squat internally in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's files and in Super Smash Bros. Melee's debug menu), often simply called ducking, is a ground-based position achieved by holding down on the Control Stick (D-pad on the standalone Wii Remote) when standing. Crouching shortens the character's damageable collision bubble, allowing them to dodge some attacks and projectiles, and can be used to crouch cancel enemy attacks. From Brawl onward, a crouching character can also crawl if they have the ability. In Melee, crouching is also used often to cancel dashes. The crouch can then be stopped by simply stopping holding down on the Control Stick.
