It is most notably performed on Delfino Plaza and Halberd. The principle behind sharking is that while underneath the stage, a character can attack and/or damage shields relatively safely, and their opponent has little options to counterattack. However, an experienced player can perform a meteor smash on a sharker, which usually results in the sharker's death.
