Just wondering what everybody do while on the ledge...


If it's a friendly, I just a/b attack back on, or just roll.. Or annoy my opponent by ledge hopping pulling out a bomb, then going back on ledge, ledge hop, throw, stay on ledge some more, and repeat..

If it's a tournament match, I mix up the combination of rolling, or ledge hopping forward air(I try to do n-air, but I have a habit of pressing forward while ledge hopping.. and plus, f-air has more range =])... Or same bomb technique I do in friendly, but I'm a LOT more cautious when doing it here. All this followed by a few ledge stalls.

i like to ledgehop nair. imean theres not really much to do, i also like to ledgehop bomb throw if i have a bomb in hand.

to tell the truth i like to use all the aerials but the uair and dair is rarely used. only when the opponent has high % i will usually do a dair.

ledgehop fairs are pretty common too

If the person is very close to edge, then using u-air from it helps alot. Other than that, I just normally throw a bomb at them which normally disrupts thieir edge guarding(As they will either take the hit or shield).

If someone is near the edge about to D smash me I jump and pull a B air behind them. Other wise I ledge hop a N,F air.

P.S ( your so lucky you can jump from the ledge and catch a bomb it is so hard, I dont know how much faster I need to go. lol)

I tend to mix it up quite evenly, I can't say I never use one and always another. Generally though I don't toss bombs from the edge, unless I've already got one on me, I find it's not worth the risk. Also, the rising attack (“A” while on edge) option becomes all but obselete against the slightest proficiency of sheild-grabbing, though it can be laced in on the rare occasion.

Really annoys them when they are a small distance from the ledge >_>

When on the edge, get invicibility frames from the edge and do a legehop nair. Fair is good too, but people can take advantage of the fair if not executed properly, don' worry about it if you mastered it though :chuckle:. Ledgehop uair is good too if there anywhere above the ledge jumping in that area that is.
