Cool Ledge Grab Strategy

[Kaeldiar]

Accidentally did this while fiddling around with my movement. It's actually not a bad strategy. Relatively quick and simple to execute. You can do this with or without the waveland

You know what else you could do with that?

Din's drift into bair for edgeguarding purposes. Much like a Peach throwing her turnip the other way for direction changes.

I've used it if I actually want to summon Dins toward me or get the momentum shift, but both of the above suggested uses don't strike me as useful. If I'm hogging ledge I'd rather keep Dins out for later, and if I want to edgeguard I'd rather fair because it has more kill power.

What are the inputs for the ledge grabbing strategy that requires rolling to the edge?

Once you're there, press down and to the ledge, and you should fall to the ledge. I do this as Sheik without rolling by crawling instead, but maybe my inputs only work because she crawls.

Roll to the ledge(it's important that you roll to the very edge), and very slightly pivot towards the ledge. This incurs your characters turn-around animation without dashing, which actually moves your character over the ledge, but then cancels the turn-around animation into a normal fall while still facing the stage. Then you grab said ledge. You can also input down and (ledge direction) to fast fall to the ledge. But if you mess up, you will either not grab because you are still holding down, or just plain crouch.

I'm like 99% sure that that's how it works. It's a product of the physics engine and how the game handles the turn-around mechanic.

Ah, so that's how you do it without the crawl.

I can just crawl to ledge instead of rolling and then do it by letting go of the control stick.

set a level 6+ din's on the outside of the ledge, middle height between the ground and the platform, then detonate>waveland onto the ledge to set an orbital behind you, which you can then utilize onstage by recalling it on the free time between loops. use FW to disappear while it comes toward you to properly reposition the orbit's origin.
