Is it Wrong that I Don't Edge-Hog?

[Scarlet Bean]

I know it's an important factor of winning; I just don't do it lmao

There are other tricks to edge guard too

 

[Nannose]

I don't know why you wouldn't.

1. Grab edge
2. Roll onto the stage when they try to sweetspot

It's not exactly the hardest thing lol.

 

[Jmook11]

Preferably you should use it. Most pro matches rely on this tactic for when the opponents last resort is the ledge. Use it!!!

 

[Superspright]

It's the easiest way to stuff a lot of recoveries, and the most reliable.

You noob **** get better and do it

[Jawz]

You are definitely in the wrong.

Don't limit yourself.

That's 2,500 bonus points down the drain! What the **** are you thinking, mate?

I don't know--I feel like an ass for taking away a chance for my opponent to survive. Guess I'm just being dumb haha

That's the point! Make your opponent die more...

The point of the game is to kill your opponent, not help them survive. Why don't you go and SD while you're at it?

I must kill them in a flashy way ):

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

You're only supposed to play flashy if you're falcon.

 

[Zoler]

What ShadowPhoenix said, if you don't main falcon, or MAYBE ganon, kill yourself.

 

[ArtehFX]

the ****** mains Luigi and second mains falcon

 

[PillsBuryDopeBoy]

You don't need to edge guard your opponent if u choose not too.......

Spoiler

Just don't john when they do it to you......

 

[Justkallmekai]

If you win without edge hogging, that's fine.

 

[Deleted member]

That's ten points deducted off of your player test, mister.

Someone isn't getting their Smash license.

 

[Clebus]

I remember the first time I was edge hogged
he said 'oooh i bet that hurt'
why NOT give other people that feeling?

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

The only reason I would not edgehog was if I my goal was to humiliate my opponent by letting them back and killing them regardless. Play better people, you'll find yourself grasping onto any straw which increases your chances of winning. And you'll need it.

I love getting that feeling especially since my friend never edge hogs.

 

[Acryte]

If you spend all your time getting them off the stage, why would you let them back for free. Doesn't make much sense. It's a ringout game, get the ringout.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

It's dumb not to do it, but I understand why you wouldn't. It's kinda lame, but I will do it is it's a hard earned gimp or a read.

I won't john if I get hogged though so it's all good.

 

[Engo]

It depends do you want to play competitively at tournaments or not? If you do, and you want to win, and get better as a player then yeah it's a bad thing to not edgehog. It's a basic and super effective edge guard.

If you're just playing casually with friends with no plans to play competitively then you can do whatever you want. I don't comprehend why edgehogging is cheap but if you think so for whatever reason then it's up to you.
