Just walk off the edge and and immediately press towards the ledge. You'll grab on instantly.
Short hop off and land parallel with the ledge and with the way brawl is you'll grab it whichever direction you are facing.
You can also run off and immediatly turn torwards the ledge (not so you turn around just so you go towards it) as listed above.

Do you have to walk? When I try dashing off the stage, I usually go too far.

Its really not that hard. Just walk or jump or dash off the stage and but face the ledge as you fall off. You'll grab on extremely quick.

Run up to the ledge and STOP right in front of it. Then tap y or x ever so lightly and move your control stick slightly towards the edge. It's way easy and like second nature when you get the hang of it.

On a related note, does anyone happen to have a link to a list of characters who can hug? Just out of curiousity.

Find a list of the full Brawl roster, and you have a list of people that can "hug".

With hugging you're just pressing back towards the stage, so essential you don't have to walk/run off, you can just jump without turning around first.

Oh, hmm... I suppose everyone technically can hug. Bleh, I probably shouldn't post this early in the morning... I was thinking of hugging as running off the edge, but it includes walking, too, doesn't it. ...I don't suppose anyone would have compiled a list of characters who can just dash off the edge to hug?

Everyone I've ever played in Brawl has been able; they just have different timings.

Doesn't matter who can hug because rolling doesn't steal the edge anymore so they will just sweetspot when you move or hit you off and take it with an auto sweetspot, there is no reason to even atempt an edgeguard in this game unless you knock them far off, and even then its just a guessing game whether they will attack on their way back or airdodge anyways.
I have to hold on to the hope that some character out there can gimp people somehow T.T

You sound pretty gimp yourself. Fu_ck an edge hug. Jump off the stage and attack who ever is trying to recover. Simple as that. Are you so weak that you have to rely on gimping someone than your own ability to fight?
And on topic. Run off the edge and move the control stick back. How hard is that to understand?
