Horseplay! Tussle! Beatdown!

Hmm, I guess things do get a tad tricky when we get down to definitions. The #1 goal for a competitive player is to win. When you give more players tools to win (L canceling, wavedashing, etc.) it reduces luck from the equation, leaving things up to skill and strategy. On top of that, it's fun...

If you're dying a dozen different ways and the edgehogging is what throws you into a tantrum, you're being a baby. Turn on infinite lives and get over it. Or play with different people. Or play on a casual mode. Or play a character with better recovery. It seems like a shame to axe an entirely...

Man, I'd love to see Okami as a character. She seems like such a perfect fit. Also, Bloodbourne Hunter. I know it will never happen but it'd be so dope.

Why would anyone care if they got edgehogged when they're constantly dying to items, stage hazards, and stray smash attacks? Assuming we're still talking about FFAs, which according to you, most people play that way. Reasons?

By that logic edge hogging really becomes a non issue, since FFA are a giant cluster**** anyways. I hope we see it back. I think it adds more to the game than it takes away.

I hate it when people roll spam, should we get rid of rolls too? Someone somewhere is always going to feel cheated with or without edgehogging. If someone really gets that upset don't play in a competitive mode That being said, I think making ledgehogging harder to pull off might be a good...

A competent matchmaking system would easily fix this.

You can and if they refuse, just don't play with them. Chances are if you're a casual, you'll be playing against another casual anyways.

The edge hogging "controversy" is overblown. When I was a kid we'd just agree not to do it if someone was getting salty.

Meters fill me with anxiety. I've heard the idea of air grabs float around. That could be cool. Missing could send you into free fall.

This is one of my bigger worries. Since the competitive depth of Melee was an accident, I'm not sure how much SoccerDaddy really understands. Hopefully Nintendo's newfound self awareness will prove me wrong. Edge hogging seems to one of the more divisive mechanics. I personally find it adds an...

Other things I found interesting- The overall tone of the trailer is a lot more intense than any other. The logo is animated similar to Melee. You could say I'm reaching, but it takes a lot of planning, manpower, and decision making to make these trailers. I doubt these things are carried out...

Flamethrower and rocksmash helps me a lot with longer ranged characters. It's definitely tough though. Mindgames are more heavily relied on with me in these cases.

Can I just say how great flamethrower is? Great at spacing, good damage, good at edgeguarding, good approach tool, can change its direction, destroys projectiles. Is Bowser's this good?
