Stalling

Stalling is defined as any action in which the player deliberately avoids any fighting confrontations to make the game unplayable (i.e. excessive camping on a ledge, or running around the stage evasively.) Stalling is usually done in order to waste time in timed matches or timed stock matches after gaining a slight damage lead, and if done properly, it will lead to a time out with the victory of the staller. Stalling is usually frowned upon in the competitive community as it is neither exciting to watch nor fun to play against, and players who do it are usually criticized by commentators or disqualified outright.
