Sorry, forgot to give my explanation for undoing. Villager's down smash is not the only move that can lock indefinitely. It's most moves that have a burial effect. For example, DDD's up special and DK's side special can also lock an opponent indefinitely

A '''lock''' is a [[technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' where one character can repeatedly use a move or sequence of moves to place another character in an [[infinite]] after a character hits the [[floor]] while [[tumbling]]. The term is also used for the repeated usage of a single move that traps a character (ex: {{SSBB|Sheik}}'s [[forward tilt]], {{SSBB|Zelda}}'s [[down tilt]], and Snake's forward tilt). | A '''lock''' is a [[technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

A lock is caused due to certain moves causing a character to bounce when they are on the ground after a missed tech, preventing them from using one of their wake up options long enough for the other player to hit them again with another move that can cause a lock. Also, after a character has bounced, they cannot use any wakeup options other than the standard get up, leaving them completely vulnerable to attack. | A lock is caused due to certain moves causing a character to bounce when they are on the ground after a missed tech, preventing them from using one of their wake up options long enough for the other player to hit them again with another move that can cause a lock.
