I don't know about the rest.
We should rank the most annoying recoveries as well, Mario/Luigi would definitely win that. Who wants to mash to recover ? So obnoxious.

I say DK should be in the top 5 still. That up B hitbox is god tier for anti-edgeguard. Also, Ness would prob be up there pretty high with annoying recoveries because no matter how good you are with it, you know you're only gonna land back on the stage like 1% of the time if you're playing someone good. It's annoying when you get weak edgeguarded like sex kicks and have to Up B like 8 times without actually touching on stage, just to end up dead.

Samus 2nd? ...No.

And yeah trying to recover with Ness is annoying because it just feels futile lol. Recovery move? More like stall-your-death move.

Link really only suffers when he's below the stage.
Same level or above he can guard himself with projectiles, and if you're not above him his up-B will eat through most attacks.

i can see samus as second. she's mad tough to edgeguard with a lot of characters, lots of options. I find mario/luigi much easier to edgeguard in general

Samus players are not that hard to bait with their recoveries. Often their recovery path is very predictable and most sane samus players will not go high as the upb floats after its used leaving them vulnerable to resend out. From there you can guess that if they made it back to the ledge and you didnt edgehog to make them go above they're either coming up with dair or fair, relatively safe but easily baitable from my experience. Course I was a fox player so what do I know MIRITE LOL?!:awesome:

Except for the fact, of course, that she can catch you with Parry upB if you try to attack her , and that unless you edgehog with really good timing, you'll get hit as well.

Edgehogging with really good timing is easy, though. 64 has that lol ff ledge grab, and when I'm playing a fast faller like Falcon I don't usually have trouble forcing Samus onstage or outright edgehogging her.
