A '''tech''', officially referred to as a '''breakfall''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', '''absorbing damage''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', an '''ukemi''' ({{ja|受け身}}) in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', '''breaking your fall''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and '''Passive''' internally by the games, is an action that can be performed when the player's [[character]] hits the [[ground]], a [[wall]], or a [[ceiling]] while [[tumbling]] (or [[reeling]]). To tech, the user must press a [[shield]] button a certain period of time (20 [[frame]]s in all games except ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', which provide 8 frames and 11 frames respectively) before hitting the surface. After that, a player won't be able to tech for 40 frames (30 in ''Smash 4''), preventing them from simply [[mash]]ing the button to execute it. If this is done right, the user will negate most lag and prevent themselves from being on the wrong end of potential punish opportunities. Additional button or control stick input can cause different types of techs. | A '''tech''', officially referred to as a '''breakfall''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', '''absorbing damage''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

The word "{{s|wikipedia|ukemi}}" refers to a rolling technique used in Japanese martial arts when taking an attack. The name has found its way into several (mostly fighting) games, such as the ''Soul'' series, to describe similar fall recovery moves. The Japanese word ''ukemi'' can also mean "passive", hence the internal name. | The word "{{s|wikipedia|ukemi}}" refers to a rolling technique used in Japanese martial arts when taking an attack.
