'''Tech-chasing''' is the act of following or predicting an opponent's [[tech]] or [[floor recovery]] in order to attack them before they can respond. Because a character's tech animations have small windows of vulnerability before ending and allowing action, it is possible to read the direction of a player's tech and [[punish]] them. Characters with fast movement speeds like [[Captain Falcon]] are very good at tech-chasing as they can reach the opponent's destination faster, though those with long-reaching attacks like [[Marth]] can do similarly well. [[Projectile]]s can also do a good job of tech-chasing when timed correctly. Tech-chasing is much easier to do on characters with short tech rolls (such as [[Olimar]]) than those with long tech rolls (such as [[Zelda]]).

It is possible to tech-chase with a powerful slow-to-start move in certain situations, such as when the roll direction is predicted, or the defender is against an [[edge]] or a wall and ends up rolling towards it, therefore not moving. Teching in place (without rolling) can also allow this.
