I'm new to snake and he's my first heavy character and I cannot just simply run off and smash to the direction of the ledge. How do I "hug" the edge then?

You don't, if you're Snake, people shouldn't live long enough to even get close to the edge.

Instead of edgehugging, drop a C4 AND a fairly uncooked grenade. You have a few options from here. If they decide to get off the ledge and come up, blow the C4. If they stay on the ledge, the grenade will blow them off (this can be dodged though, but it's even riskier trying to dodge it). If they decide to jump into the air or drop from the ledge and try to pull something funny, use a Nikita Missile and drop it a little but further from the ledge so it hits your foe. On certain levels, this can cause an instant kill because it will cause them to be spiked by the stage. I love doing that on Smashville.

As you run off the stage, move your joystick to the opposite direction. This will make you latch onto the edge.

To be safer, you can turn your joystick 180 degrees in a downward direction. You will latch on but, it takes more effort to do so this way.

Facing the edge, half circle backwards motion on joystick.

It's like a reverse Ryu fire hadouken if you've played SFII.
