Wall jump: Difference between revisions

The '''wall jump''' is a [[fighter ability|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. One cannot wall jump forever, as the height gained from each successive wall jump decreases until they stop gaining any height at all. 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 jump out of a [[wall tech]], although this intangibility would later be removed in ''Ultimate''.  

Additionally, all characters can perform a wall jump directly after wall teching. This technique is often used by players [[recover]]ing against an [[edge-guard]]er.
