A '''tap''', or '''tapping''', is a term used in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series that refers to quickly tilting the maximum distance on the [[Control stick]]/[[D-pad]] in a certain direction. It is used to either [[dash]], [[jump]] or drop through a [[platform]], and can be combined with the attack button to perform [[smash attack]]s.

There is a number of ways to use taps, as mentioned above. Note that for the [[Wii remote]], the equivalent to tapping is double tap, as tapping normally would act as a [[tilt]], although jumps are still performed by pressing up just once.

===[[Dash]]===
===[[Dash]]===
A player can dash by tapping the Control stick/D-pad left or right. It's important to note that the character will run with their [[initial dash]] if tapped, and upon further uses allows faster travel speed as most initial dashes are faster than their regular run speed. This technique is called [[fox-trotting]].

===[[Jump]]===
A player can jump by tapping upwards on the Control Stick. Midair jumps, jumps out of [[water]] and [[edge]] jumps can also be performed this way.

From ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, tapping up to jump can be disabled in the [[Controls]] menu, except when using a sideways Wiimote due to the lack of buttons. Within tournaments, most players prefer disabling Tap Jump, as it can lead to accidental jumps when attempting to perform [[up tilt]]s or [[up aerial]]s, while others prefer to have it on to perform [[up smash]]es and [[up special]]s [[out of shield]] more easily, without having to press a jump button. Jumps from ledges or out of water are still possible by tapping up even if Tap Jump is turned off.
In both ''[[Brawl]]'', and {{for3ds}}, tapping up to jump can be disabled in the [[Controls]] menu for the two games. Within tournaments, most players prefer disabling tap jump, as it can lead to mechanical errors dealing with up specials or up tilts, among other attacks. This does not, however, disable tap jumping out of water or from the ledge.
 
The Tap Jump option is known as "Stick Jump" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
