A '''tech''', officially referred to as a '''breakfall''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', an '''ukemi''' ({{ja|受け身}}) in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and '''passive''' internally in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', is an action that can be performed when the player's [[character]] hits the [[ground]], a [[wall]], or a [[ceiling]] while [[tumbling]] or in [[hitstun]]. To tech, the user must press the shield button 20 [[frame]]s or fewer before hitting the surface; after that, a player won't be able to tech for 40 frames. Additional button or control stick input can cause different types of techs. | A '''tech''', officially referred to as a '''breakfall''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', an '''ukemi''' ({{ja|受け身}}) in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
