'''Stalling''' is defined as any | '''Stalling''' is defined as any strategy that avoids all fighting conflict with the goal of making the game unplayable or winning a match by going to [[time out]]. It involves using actions and techniques to waste time, such as running away, [[planking]]{{ref|Limit1}}, [[infinite]]s, and charging through the opponent with a move that has [[launch resistance]]. Agile characters, especially ones that can safely travel under a stage, are usually the most successful at stalling. | ||
Many forms of stalling are typically banned in tournaments in addition to techniques that may lead to stalling. Excessive stalling can prolong a tournament and will often have the [[smasher]] disqualified. Some forms of stalling are allowed if the opponent is capable of dealing with them or if the technique is too subtle to be recognized as stalling. Stalling is considered by many to be quite annoying, or even "[[cheap]]", although many others see it is a legitimate means to win. | |||
Stalling is not to be confused with [[camping]], which usually seeks to change how the conflict is approached. | |||
