Dropzone:
Reads on your opponent going for the ledge in an Edgeguarding position.
Let me use an example:
http://gph.is/2awmaqG
This link will show you a portion of the video made by Rush Hour Smash's Smash Theory of Edgeguarding.
Anyways, the falcon gets back on Stage and the MK spends out all of his Jumps and whiffs the Up B ledge catch.
With this, the Falcon can set up a Dropzone edge guard with an F-tilt.
After this F-tilt, The MK misses the ledge completely and focuses on the ledge to recover.
When your opponent is doing something like that on a Dropzone edge guard, is when you take their stock.
Now that I have told you what a Dropzone is, (Or if you already know about it, that's good too) I'm here to list all of the characters best options for Dropzone edge guards.
QUICK NOTES
Now, some of these are going to be 80-20 like I said, they could be off by a bit like 70-30 or 65-35. Just to make you aware.
And (IMO) It doesn't have to end in a Spike. It could probably make them be in a bad position or kill horizontally.
Keep in mind that most of these are going in mid percentages for a lot of the characters. Also, these are NOT tested, so if they don't work as well as I thought, please comment below and I'll change it.
(Also, Dropzone setups will be in Parenthesis and Dropzone finishers will be in brackets. They will also be ordered by best to worst, in my opinion. If you guys have any good setups, comment this guide and I'll change it for that too. We are all in this together. Change up these moves for better results Plus, I am not the best guide maker, nor the best at explaining things.)
I'll be looking at the Characters:
Knockback
Cooldown
Damage
And the distance of the Attack

And that's all of the characters and what I think they could do for a dropzone edge guard. Again, I'm not the best guide maker and I would like it if you could put your input on this guide. I would really appreciate it and I am always open to critique. I know this is very unorganized but this will be updated a lot. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll talk to you all later.
