Crawling, also called Crouchwalking, is a new technique announced for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is done by moving whilst crouching, hence the name "Crouchwalking." Crawling can be used to avoid certain projectiles, except ground-hugging projectiles, while still approaching. Characters can use their down tilt attacks while crawling. Characters cannot change the direction they face while crawling, but they can crawl backwards.
