Sliding Off Edge While Eruption Edge Guarding

[Deleted member 269706]

Hey there, got back into Ike recently and I've been playing him a lot after the latest patch came out. Now I remember when he was still my number one most used character, one of my favorite Edge Guarding techniques was to run up to the ledge charge up Eruption and watch the enemy fly away. Classic Ike edge guards. Seems like after this latest patch, I've been having a real problem of running up to the ledge, charging up Eruption, but I end up sliding right off and going down to my death due to the enormous cool down on that move. I mean, this never happened to me on the 3DS or Wii U in previous patches, but now I've managed to eliminate myself through this happening more times than I'm proud of. Has anyone else been having this issue recently, or is it just me being rusty?

I used to do that a few times before the patch. I don't think anything changed with it. If any change at all happened it should have been made more difficult to do that, because the patch adjusted several moves to make it harder or impossible to slide off with them.

Nope, still works fine for me. I think only very few specials allow you to slide off the edge anymore.

Very strange that this only becomes a problem now...guess I'm just rusty from playing so much Falcon/Rosalina. Appreciate the replies.
