Getting edgehogged

[Coselm]

Do any of the Ganon players here ever get brutally edge hogged?

Most of my friends have learned to time their ledgehogs well enough to have invincibility frames so I can't knock them off the ledge and grab it, which gives me a lot of early deaths.

Aside from not getting knocked off the stage at all, I have tried to sweet spot the up b so I hit them off and then grab the ledge, but my friends just stepped their game up again and can now time their ledgehogs so it doesn't work at all.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Does anyone else have my Ganon recovery woes?

DI like a beast is the only thing you can do, to try to give yourself room so that the upB will go past the ledge and onto the stage in the event that they're edgehogging. I don't know if it's possible to space/time it so that both the grab and punch of the upB hit the ledge, although if it is, it would probably be worth working on, as their hitboxes are far enough apart in time that you would pretty much always knock them off. It probably isn't though.

Yeah, like I said...

I can time it so that my punch will hit them off of the ledge and I grab it, but if they are invincible from grabbing the edge during my punches hitbox, then I fall to my death.

I guess I already knew their was no way around that aside from not getting hit off the level in the first place, or landing on the level.
