-While it may seem like a simple decision, many factors should be taken into account when choosing to share stock. Firstly, it is wise for team members to discuss or ask permission before stealing a stock, not only as it may be considered rude not to do so, but also for strategic purposes. For example, if one were to steal a stock from a teammate with two stocks and a high [[damage]] percentage, this would essentially be similar to swapping lives, as that teammate is likely to be [[KO]]'d soon afterward. Of course, communication is not always possible during [[Wi-Fi Connection|online]] matches, so sharing stock in these instances may be more of a personal decision.
+Knowing if and when to share stock is considered a critical strategy in doubles matches. It is generally preferred, if possible, to discuss with one's teammates whether or not to share stock, as doing so unprompted may not only be considered rude, but could put their team in a worse position. For example, if one were to steal a stock from a teammate with two stocks and a high [[damage]] percentage, the players would essentially be swapping lives, as that teammate is likely to be [[KO]]'d soon afterward (although this may be preferred in case the player "swapping in" has a better chance against the opposing team). The [[stage]] is also an important factor, as larger stages like [[Temple]] allow players to survive to much higher damage [[percent]]ages compared to smaller stages like [[Final Destination]]. When communication is not possible, such as during [[online play]], players either use their own judgements or abstain from using the technique entirely.
-One should also take the [[stage]] into account when determining whether or not to share stock. Large stages like [[Temple]] allow partners to survive to much higher damage [[percent]]ages, while smaller stages like [[Final Destination]] tend not to.
 In [[tournament]] doubles, one of the two players on a team is often designated as the "stock tank", typically whichever is controlling the character with higher survivability and/or better [[camping]]. General strategy then revolves around the stock tank playing a defensive role, while the other player plays offensively, borrowing stocks as necessary (as they will be KO'd more often), as being caught in a two-on-one with two stocks is worse than having a two-on-two with one stock each.
