How to run off stage and grab ledge smoothly

[SHINOBIofFATE]

Hi there! New to smashboards. With edge hogging gone in Smash 4. I want to know now more then ever how I can run off stage and grab the ledge instantly and smoothly. I've seen a lot of people do it in videos. They just run right off and instantly grab the edge and they don't have to jump or anything. How do you do this so that I can start messing with people when they recover?

Run off -> half circle down and back to the stage. You can probably just run off -> hold down and towards the stage. Both methods worked in Brawl and I think it's all the same in smash 4.

You're basically running off and immediately fast falling while moving towards the stage if that helps.

You can't actually hold down, since holding down prevents ledge grabs.

I just run off then flick down quickly.

Alright I'll practice this when I hop on thanks!

Yeah what he said. Just make the motion these arrows show on your stick.

I believe the timing is different for every character, especially because of fall speed, so it just takes some practice.
