first of all, i am trying to make a thread that doesn't re-mention too many ledge techs that everyone knows, like tapping away from the stage, jumping, and spiking, then up-b ing back to the stage, or tapping away then jumping towards and doing an aerial.

so, it is well known that many people will just stand next to the edge and shield when another is on an edge. remember that marth has a shieldbreaker. of you hit down then immediately jump and tap b, you can weaken their shield. you can also use this technique to do other specials off the edge like your counter, for someone who stands there charging a smash, or your forward b, because it will give you a little air, making it so that if you miss, most likely, they will too.

when edgehogging, if you are one of those people who jumps off the edge, or falls off, then regrabs to get back your invincibility frames, you know that the annoying part of doing this is that while you are off the edge, you are vulnerable. to increase invincibility time, just tap away from the stage, immediately jump, air dodge, and DI back towards the stage and you will grab the edge again with much less time where you can be hit. just be sure to do it quickly.

you can also do the just get up animation where you tap toward the stage and start smashing A. you will do your a combo just as you get up. however, this is more useful with other characters.

Wouldn't up+b still merit quick ledgegrabs in this case? I know there are a few points in the upward animation which give autosweetspot properties...

true, but you CAN be hit in the middle of it. the airdodge makes you literally invincible. I use it when they too, are off the stage. Seems like you may be thinking you would use this when they're on it. Not what i intended.

EDIT: you are also vulnerable when you are falling to prepare for the upb.
