How different would Melee be if it had ledge trumping?

I was playing Ultimate the other day and an interesting thought came to my mind as I thought about how the mechanics in that game compared to Melee. Than I thought about what the Melee meta would look like with ledge trumping being a mechanic instead of edge hogging. For those who aren't aware, ledge Trumping is a mechanic in both Smash 4 and Ultimate that allows the opposing players who's recovering to steal the ledge from the other opposing player while they're hanging on it. This would definitely be a buff to recoveries but would also make edge guarding more interesting I feel. I'm wondering if this would be a positive or negative thing on the game and I'm curious to hear what other Melee people think.

The game changes completely when you incorporate the ledge trumping mechanic. In ultimate, I think you can respond to getting ledge trumped with an aerial. In Melee that would make things really interesting.
