Ledge-hop-Dair (I know you cant make it to the stage)

[Zenjamin]

When grabbing the ledge, doing your invincibility thing, and someone is trying to recover from below, you can let go of the ledge, jump, spike them, and recover to the ledge with UpB.

a verry useful move.


but i cant seem to get it down. Ive done it before, but too often I either press upB too early or too late after the spike, and fall to my death.


can anyone who can do this consistently give me some pointers please?

Not too hard to do. If you can do wit wit the fair, then you can do it with the dair. Just keep practicing, and maybe mashing the B for the upB would guarantee a recovery.

Pretty simple once you get the hang of it. I use it against high-vertical recovery characters such as Mr. Game&Watch and Marth.

 

[Devilution]

G&W I don't use it against because he can still recover quite easily...I'd just use the Mexican Truck.

I actually got around marth(on accident) then b upped him killed him and I survived but I thought marth's b up would hit me

Also, maybe use the C-stick for the Dair, so you dont accidentally fast fall when doing it with the control-stick.

Accidental fast-fall happened a lot to me before using c-stick for my aerials, so that might help, unless you already do use it, then i guess i have no advice left

 

[CluelessBTD]

I just press back to let go of the edge, slide the stick up to jump, then c-stick for dair. It's the fastest way and it never fails for me. I don't do it too often anymore, cuz your opponent can tech it

All ledge tactics are based off of one thing: Renewing your invincibility.

The second most important thing is utilizing that invincibility. Practice letting go of the ledge the second that little 'bubble' pops up over your hand. Afterwards it's about practicing your moves immediately upon letting go of the ledge. Put it together and you have yourself an invincible Ganondorf that does lots of damage for free. Also, the C-stick is a godsend.

I'd like to add, you can down air onto the stage from the ledge. You land with 1 frame and it'll do no damage at all. But you can land on the stage

IMO a Dair isn't a Dair if the hitbox doesn't come out. You can also ledgehop a Nair for the record, and the hitbox does come out for the first kick.
