Another basic, yet vital move players can do is to shield, which blocks most attacks. The shield shrinks the longer the player holds the button or if the shield blocks attacks. If the shield is too small, the player is vulnerable to attacks, the process of which is known as shield stabbing. If the shield breaks, the player is momentarily stunned. Grabs can also circumvent the shield. Once the player has grabbed an opponent, she can either pummel the opponent with the attack button or throw the opponent with {{button|Stick}}. Opponents can break free of grabs by moving the control stick and mashing buttons, but the higher the percentage, the longer it takes for opponents to be released. | Another basic, yet vital move players can do is to shield, which blocks most attacks.

Final Smashes are extremely powerful attacks, character transformations or stage hazards that normally guarantee a KO on the opponent. Players are now able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items, like the [[Super Scope]], where in ''Melee'', this wasn't possible. | ||

A new technique called the [[smashwiki:Footstool Jump|Footstool Jump]] is introduced. It allows players to jump on an another player's head up to five times and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Players are be able to perform Meteor Smashes by doing this as well. The [[smashwiki:tether recovery|tether recovery]] is a returning tactic in the game.

[[smashwiki:glide|Gliding]] is also a technique in this game, available only to winged characters. When gliding is used, players are able to glide across the stage and be able to control the way they fly. They can direct themselves upwards or downwards, depending on the direction the {{button|gcn|Stick}} or the {{button|wii|Pad}} is pointed in. | ||
Another feature not present in the past two games is [[Pratfall|slipping]]. Any character can slip. The feature has no upside for the players that slip other than the invincibility frames that are granted to them when they get up. Players can slip when trying to run suddenly, go down slopes, turn around or walking on a [[Banana|Banana Peel]]. | Another feature not present in the past two games is [[Pratfall|slipping]].

The execution of standard combos has been made simpler; for many characters, the attack button no longer has to be hit repeatedly, but it is enough to hold it down for the character to start a combo attack. The effects, however, usually differ. | The execution of standard combos has been made simpler; for many characters, the attack button no longer has to be hit repeatedly, but it is enough to hold it down for the character to start a combo attack.

Players | Players are able to set their own button configuration rather than have to play with the default configuration. The configuration can be saved on the Wii Remote's internal memory, allowing to take it to a friend's and play with one's own button configuration there. The Players are able to insert names with up to five letters, as in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. In the previous game, names are only a gimmick. In this game, they now also save the players' controlling options to avoid having to select the control method each time. | ||
