-== Description ==
+The '''down air stall''' (sometimes referred to as '''WindWaking''') is an exploit which allows a character with a [[stall-then-fall]] aerial (with the exception of {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}) to float in midair. It was introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as well as being initially present in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', affected [[Greninja]], [[Bayonetta]], [[Corrin]], {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}} in the process, but was removed in patch {{SSBU|4.0.0}}.
-Although it was discovered with Toon Link, the glitch is not exclusive to Toon Link. In fact, it may not be considered a glitch at all. It is an exploitation of the way that Brawl's physics engine works. With characters who have a [[Stall-Then-Fall]] aerial (aka Game and Watch, Sheik, Sonic), if they perform their d-air (or in Ivysaur's case, and u-air) at a certain height they will lag and hover for a while.
-== How to perform ==
+==Description==
-Using Toon Link's Down Aerial repeatedly after being thrown or otherwise launched into the air will eventually cause him to perform a small hop, then float in the air for a short time with his sword down in the normal position for his D-Air.

If a character who has a stall-then-fall aerial performs their [[down aerial]] (or in Ivysaur's case, an [[up aerial]]) at a certain height they will lag and hover for a while.

-The technique can be used to negate vertical knockback, like all Stall-then-Falls. However, because its movement can be controlled while you are stalled (like Peach's [[Float]]) it can be used as a recovery technique to glide back onstage (see the video below).
+Since its movement can be controlled while the player is stalled (like Peach's [[float]]), it can be used as a recovery [[technique]] to glide back onstage (see the video below).
