 A '''cave of life''' is an unofficial term for an enclosed area in a [[stage]] where characters can survive to much higher percentages than usual. These areas have an impassable [[platform]] above the area, and can contain other walls, which allows characters to [[tech]] and survive potentially fatal blows. Even without teching, characters will bounce off the ceiling, which absorbs some of the knockback, and allows the character to survive longer than usual.
-Caves of life are often considered a degenerative aspect of a stage for competitive play. Besides allowing characters to survive attacks well beyond what is usually possible, they often provide overly powerful camping positions (due to their enclosed nature and the difficulty of [[KO]]ing characters within them), and they produce an over centralisation on teching (players skilled at teching receive a disproportional advantage from them in comparisons to players who can't tech so well). As such, most stages with them are universally banned from [[tournament]]s, and stages with more minor caves of life are rarely legal.
