Edge Guarding

[ianlacy]

Hey all, I need help learning how to edge guard with Falco.

There are a couple moves that I just cannot do for the life of me.

1.) Bair while hanging from ledge. How do people do this effectively? I can't seem to jump high enough off the ledge for it to do any good. Can someone explain the mechanics?

2.) I guess just really any other good ledge guarding tactic that would work well against floaty people.

Thanks,

Ian

I use the control stick to drop, then immediately press Y with my thumb, and right after that, slide my thumb over to A while pushing the control stick in the direction that is needed to perform a bair. So pretty much I do a short quarter turn with the control stick while pressing A right after I press Y to jump. Practice XD

Ledgehopped dair, ftilt, dsmash, shffled dair, fsmash. Dtilt if they're at killing percentage and not expecting it. And most don't, so they would DI incorrectly.

Oooo dtilt, thanks.

Dair is still a valid option for floaties, if they're coming in anywhere under your range
