Stalling is defined as any action that deliberately avoids all conflict as to make the game unplayable. It involves the player using a move or technique to waste time, usually done in time matches or timed stock matches. Stalling is banned in tournaments, as tournaments use timed stock matches.

Examples of Stalling

• Repeatedly using Homing Attack with Sonic or Kirby under a stage.
• Using Peach Bomber repeatedly against a wall without gaining height. However, this technique can be used for recovery in tournaments.
• Using Rising Pound repeatedly away from the other player. However, as with Peach Bomber, if this technique is being used for recovery, it is allowed in tournaments.

Trivia

• If there is a stage that can be jumped through, it will be impossible to stall on.
• If a player is too far away from a stalling area (possibly Final Desination), with Sonic, he will just go go down because the game thinks the blast line is a "floor".
