I hate it when people ledge grab. it makes people look like little girls. it really pisses me off. it shows no skill and its just a ****** move lol. im not trying to start anything but im sure im not the only one who agrees. i think ledge grabbing is for noobs. so if u really are good at smash then dont use it. If u want to brawl let me know im always up for a match :)
plz tell me what u think about ledge grabbing here. thanks!

What does a little girl look like when she grabs the ledge? A man?

I do hope that you're mixing up terms and you're not against grabbing the ledge in general. I believe you're referring to "edgehogging", in which a player grabs the ledge before his or her recovering opponent to prevent them from recovering. Now, while a plethora of scrubs will agree with you in saying that edgehogging is "cheap", no one with a semblance of skill will agree with your opinion, nor will they stop edgehogging.

Yeah, recovery and winning is for scrubs.

Also, intelligent use of gimps is for losers.

Ruleset v3.2 plzzzzzz.

Actually, I don't think the OP was specific enough. Are you talking about when the opponent:
- spams ledge attack?
- grabs the ledge when THEY'RE trying to recover from offstage?
- grabs the ledge when YOU'RE trying to recover from offstage?
- continuously grabs the ledge to refresh invincibility?

I dont really get what your trying to say. Sometimes when I recover, My character grabs the edge and I get right back on stage? How does that make me a noob lol? Or do you mean people who use the ledge for invincibility?

Getting the ledge is key when you're playing with a campy character, like Samus.
I don't see why ledge stalling is bad, i mean really, one slip up, and you can get stage spiked. No need to rant, though.

What amount of skill does it require to slam the c-stick up with Fox to kill instead of a quartercircle motion with accurate timing?

Metaknight doesn't need the ledge to gimp Fox wut are u talking about.

If ur so butthurt by sucking with Fox's recovery then pick a a character that has a good recovery like a good portion of the cast that does not have a tether recovery, is not a space animal, or isn't Link.

My example just pointed out that edgehogging requires more skill than just a simple usmash kill with Fox where you just slam the stick up.

Lol, scrubs and their self-imposed rules.

Look, if you put yourself into a situation where you could get edge-hogged it is YOUR OWN FAULT. No matter how easy it is to do.

I seriously hope you don't go around jumping into Falcon Punches and calling them cheap because they only take a button press to use.

dont approach them if they're on the ledge then

if you have a lead theyre forced to approach

if you lost the lead get better thats your fault

- w0rds of w1sdom

if you meant ledge-hogging, get over it. when you play for money, you do what it takes. you dont sound like a serious competitive player anyways though, so maybe smashboards/aib aren't for you.

either a very very very bad troll, or a insanely cocky idiotic noob who will have his ego crushed in a heartbeat by half the folsk on this board(lol....its always funnny when a casual finds this place/ends up facing a real competiitve player for the first time, think they "pwn" at the game..and then all the sudden see just what type of things they're up against....half of em have their minds completly blown, and their egos and the thought of them being "awesome" at this game crushed in a instant....lol....)probably both.

Dear OP, read this. It may not solve your problems of being edgehogged a lot, but it will explain why we look down on you.

http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/intermediates-guide.html

In fact, the whole series of articles on Sirlin.net are very good and very helpful for gamers like you. In short, if you call something "cheap", that's my incentive to do it more until one of the following two things happen:
1. You lose
2. It stops working

And if it's so effective, why aren't you doing it?

That's it, thread's over, everyone can go home.

Why is this topic not pinned to show people how not to troll, play this game or make a topic?
