Dolphin Slash: Epic Edgeguard Tool

Awesome combo vid^^^
Throughout that, it has several shots of Marth Dolphin Slashing as a recovery method, but when he hit the enemy, they hit the stage and bounced to their doom.

Dolphin Slash could be the best edgeguard tool in the game.

If someone is trying to sweet spot from below the edge, the only way to guard is to jump off with them. But only dolphin slash lets you attack AND get the ledge first due to its speed.
If someone is recovering, jump off behind them, up and b to the ledge, and laugh as they ricochet to their doom.

Agree, disagree?

teh best, may but i'm not sure, EPIC hell yea.

 

[saberhof]

its pretty tight, but im shure there would be a way to evade that now with the new mechanics and all, theres still alot to discover, but i guees you can all feast on what you have now ...

cool stuff

If I understood what you just said, the Falcon Dive can do the same thing.

That is really nothing new, you could do the same thing in melee: just walk of the edge and use up-b.

 

[Doodx]

in brawl it is much better tho

Yeah, but Marth had much better edgeguarding options back then that didn't involve jumping off the stage. Now he doesn't, so this is useful.

And the fact that it has MUCH more knockback this time around.

Can I name this?
If so, I call it the Irae Edgeguard.


Or the IEG for short. :D

No.

 

[Irae]

No.

FINE!

I'll just have to pioneer it on wifi untl someone ELSE calls it the irae edgeguard.

 

[C-Dizzle]

Yeah really good, a nice technique, andno way we'd we name A move after you

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Just keep using it until people can find a way around it or something.

Once that happens, change your ways xD

I've been using this technique against my friends for 3-4 weeks already. I thought it was already known so I stayed quiet lol. It works like a charm, but can be tech'ed.

 

[Kizzu-kun]

Its just a Dolphin Slash Edgeguard, nothing new, but now this works a way better for Marth.
Thanks!~

Yea, it's actually really useful...moreso than it was in melee, because in melee marth had more edge guarding options that didn't require him to jump off-stage. In brawl that's not the case. I've been using this pretty often in brawl.

yeah me and my friends used it in melee only we would d-throw wavedash off the edge and then do it. we called it the cross since he crosses you on his way to the stage and also it kinda makes a cross shape, your opponent hitting the stage and falling down. this is however easily techable and not worth it unless you cross them low below the stage so that they don't even hit off the stage and fall down they simply die from going under the stage and being stunned too long. we also we say crossed or off the backboard spike.sometimes d-thorw doesn't work or you wouldn't need to do it but wave dash backwards always looked cool, i'm gonna miss that.
