'''Crawling''' (also known as '''crouch walking''') is a | '''Crawling''' (also known as '''crouch walking''') is a technique introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. While [[crouching]], it allows certain characters to move while staying low to the ground, and can be used to avoid certain [[projectile]]s. | ||
The usefulness of crawling primarily depends on how low the character's crouch is. For example, | The usefulness of crawling primarily depends on how low the character's crouch is. For example, {{SSBB|Snake}} has a very low crouch that significantly reduces his height, making his crawl highly effective for dodging projectiles and attacks with high hitboxes, while {{SSBB|Bowser}}'s crouch is much higher and barely reduces his height, leaving it near useless to dodge such attacks. While most characters can change the direction they face while crawling, all crawling characters can crawl backwards. | ||
Characters can use their [[down tilt]] attack while crawling. Some characters have down tilts that move them forward, causing them to pseudo-crawl, but the usefulness of this is questionable. | |||
Crawling is not often used in competitive matches, as other methods of [[approach]] tend to be more practical. The exception to this are characters with very low crawls (such as the aforementioned Snake) in certain [[matchup]]s, as their low crawl allows them to approach while being unable to be hit by opposing projectiles, particularly against {{SSBB|Falco}}. | |||

==Crawl-sliding== | ==Crawl-sliding== | ||
Crawl-sliding is | Crawl-sliding is an [[technique]] in ''[[Brawl]]'' which allows the player to slide across the ground backwards for a short period of time. This was first discovered by [[Smashboards]] member lilscrappy561, who attempted to [[moonwalk]] as in ''[[Melee]]'' by just [[walking]] instead of [[dashing]]. If done with a [[Bunny Hood]], a character will slide even further, as if they [[wavedash]]ed. This can only be done with characters that can crawl. | ||

Normally, when Pikachu crawls forward, its tail lies low to the ground, allowing it to avoid certain projectiles like {{SSBB|Fox}}'s [[Blaster]]; but while crawling backwards, its tail is held over its body, which allows it to be hit by projectiles that would fly harmlessly above it while crawling forward. Squirtle's tail acts similarly. | ||
