Ive been playing my brother a few times and its happened a few times. I up'd B while he was on the edge and he got spiked down. Anyone else experience this?

if you angle it right its a stage spike. you can also stage spike someone by just doing a bair while they're hanging on the ledge without their invincibility frames ( you can do it with fair too, but bair is the fastest and safest)

okay, if you didn't know, diddy has 3(or 4 if you count footstool) spikes. they are barrel spike, facerape spike, and dair spike. facerape won't work when theyre on the edge because you have to latch on. however, barrel and dair will if you are right next to the edge on the stage and they are hanging without invincibility. you can shorthop then do either. i would recommend the dair as it spikes faster and the barrel spike is situational. i only do barrel spike when they are too far down to risk a dair and you can immediately recover...

...what?

just cause they're on the ledge doesnt mean you cant diddy hump them. If you do the hump towards someone whos hanging on the ledge and their invincibility frames are gone, you will latch on and you both will begin to descend

really? maybe it was something else like falcons upb... but go try it just to see... cause i didnt think you could. but that doesnt matter... what the point is, is that you cant do that from directly above... standing ON the stage.

oh... so pointless except on accident lol. anyway thats off point. the idea was that you could spike while remaining on the stage and risking nothing if they're stupid enough to let their invincibility run out... aww ;( this thread died.

theres also the Down A spike where the opponent hangs off the edge long enough that Diddy can actually sneak by and spike the player. The rocketbarrel edge spike is still tricky i wonder if it works if the opponent is right next to him. Or if it can only work if the opponent is right under Diddy.
