Tech Check

A Tech Check is the technique that is mainly unique to both Captain Falcon's Falcon Dive and Ganondorf's Dark Dive. When either character grabs their opponent near a ledge or wall of the stage, the opponent can tech the following explosion from the throw and punish them while the other is in the move's ending lag. This technique is controversial in the Captain Falcon and Ganondorf communities, with many saying it allows the opponent to punish them in an situation that is out of their control.

The technique was originally named Rockcrock, named after the player of the same name, RockCrock. After RockCrock was outed as a rapist, the name was changed to remove any of his likeness. The new name was chosen on a Twitter poll created by Fatality.
