Beefy Smash Doods Explain Why Teching Isn’t Always Possible in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Properly teching in Smash can mean the difference between losing a stock and surviving long enough to potentially take one from your opponent. Since this technique is so integral to playing at a high level, missed techs at crucial moments often cause audiences and even commentators to toss out phrases like “we tech those.”

But what about situations where teching isn’t possible? As the Beefy Smash Doods explain in the video below, there are times in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U where the game’s mechanics prevent the possibility of teching. This prevention system seems to occur when the hitstun of a move that knocks characters into a wall overlaps with the wall teching window.

For a full explanation, be sure to check out the video.
