Wall jump

Fox wall jumping in Melee.

Greninja wall jumping in Ultimate.

The wall jump is a technique unique to certain characters. Introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee, wall jumping consists of the character momentarily clinging to the wall, then turning away, and finally jumping back. It is performed by touching a wall and then pressing the control stick or d-pad in the direction opposite to the wall. In Brawl, it can also be performed by pressing the jump button when touching a wall.

Wall jumping cannot be done forever in order to stall, as each one performed without touching the ground has its initial velocity reduced to 0.96×, which stacks. While this sounds like a minimal reduction, in practice it means that most characters stop gaining meaningful height after the fifth or sixth wall jump.

Most characters cannot wall jump at will, but all characters can wall tech jump: by inputting a jump during a wall tech, a wall jump is performed. This technique is often used by players recovering against an edge-guarder.

In Melee, a wall jumping character experiences a short period of intangibility at the moment they kick off the wall, until they are able to perform another action. This is no longer the case as of Brawl, but the intangibility still applies when the character performs a wall tech jump, although this intangibility would later be removed in Ultimate.
