'''Crawling''' (also known as "crouchwalking") is a technique introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

The usefulness of crawling primarily depends on how low the character's crouch is. For example, [[Sheik (SSBB)|Sheik]] and [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]] have very low crouches, making their crawls highly effective for dodging projectiles; while [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser's]] crouch is much higher, leaving him a bigger target. While most characters can change the direction they face while crawling, all crawling characters can crawl backwards. | The usefulness of crawling primarily depends on how low the character's crouch is.

Characters can use their [[down tilt]] (strong downward) attacks while crawling. Some characters have down tilts that move them forward, causing them to pseudo-crawl, but the usefulness of this is questionable. | Characters can use their [[down tilt]] (strong downward) attacks while crawling.

Crawling is not used often in competitive matches as it is not very helpful. | |||
Characters who crawl also have the advantage of [[crawl-sliding]]. | Characters who crawl also have the advantage of [[crawl-sliding]]. | ||
