Advanced Tactics: Doubles Ledge Play

[ElectricCitrus]

What I want to know is how well a Fox (or Greninja)/Mac team would do, because based on what others are saying and what I've seen from Smashfest is that solo, once Little Mac leaves the ground it's game over for him. BUT in a doubles, with a teammate that is quicker, and more agile they might be able to keep Little Mac grounded and allow him to do his thing. Like maybe you pummel for some good hits, then grab and side throw into Little Mac for the kill?

I don't see Little Mac to be good in doubles tbh. He is just going to be thrown off stage what is probably his dead. I don't think that a quick teammate could do much (especially how often he will have to help him) because one of the opponents will probably keep the Fox away from him. But I see potential in him because he has the OHKO. The teammate could just grab an opponent and LM would run to him to finish him off with his OHKO (the grabbed opponent can't do anything. Just like the grab to upsmash teamcombo in melee with fox.

Something I want to share about double ledge guarding is having you and your teammate onstage at the ledge. Example: player a and player b are off stage and trying to get to the ledge player c and d are onstage, player c is right on the edge of the stage and player d is a short distance back from player c. As soon as player a or b grab the ledge player d starts charging a down smash(assuming player d has a down smash that covers a wide range like Mario's) to cover player a/b if they roll, player c does a short hop aerial to cover player a/b using a ledge attack, ledge jump, or normal ledge climb. If player a/b runs out of ledge invincibility player c can hit them with a low attack.

I have only done this against people on for glory and AIs so I'm not 100% sure it's unescapable. But I haven't seen any one escape this.
