[1:54:04 AM] Twitchalus: Here's a scenario:
[1:54:53 AM] Twitchalus: Marth knocks Mario offstage. Mario upBs towards ledge that Marth is hogging, Marth jumps up and grabs the ledge after Mario does, who was still in recovery from the ledgegrab, so he couldn't stop being knocked off. Now, if Mario tries to sweetspot again, he DOESN'T HAVE THE INVULNERABILITY ON LEDGEGRABS ANYMORE. YOU ONLY GET IT DURING THE FIRST GRAB.
[1:54:58 AM] Twitchalus: HE'LL GET LEDGE FSMASHED LOL
[1:55:03 AM] Twitchalus: ****ED ****ED ****ED ****ED
[1:55:16 AM] Twitchalus: THERE IS -0- ESCAPE LMFAO
[1:55:38 AM] Twitchalus: You literally have 0 options
[1:55:51 AM] Twitchalus: you can try to get back onto the stage, or sweetspot; either way Marth hits you off and you still don't have your invuln back, Marth can jump back onstage to get his invuln back, or just sit there and wait for you, you try to go low, he jumps onstage with bair, and if you went low, he recovers from bair in time to dtilt or fsmash you off the ledge, you -will not come back-
[1:55:53 AM] User: why does he even need to get back on stage (sun)
[1:55:59 AM] Twitchalus: Because it's safer
[1:56:02 AM] Twitchalus: more guaranteed
[1:56:10 AM] Twitchalus: just fsmash. it hits everywhere you need it to
[1:56:17 AM] Twitchalus: Then after the first fsmash
[1:56:19 AM] Twitchalus: you literally
[1:56:19 AM] Twitchalus: just
[1:56:20 AM] Twitchalus: sit there.
[1:56:22 AM] Twitchalus: and wait.
[1:56:29 AM] Twitchalus: He grabs the ledge? recovery. fsmash him again.
[1:56:34 AM] Twitchalus: HE HAS NO INVULN LMFAO
[1:56:44 AM] Twitchalus: EASIEST EDGEGUARDING I HAVE EVER THEORIZED, SAKURAI ACTUALLY ****ED UP -BY- REMOVING THE INVULNERABILITY BECAUSE THERE'S STILL RECOVERY
[2:02:28 AM] This is pretty scary honestly lmao
[2:02:28 AM] Twitchalus: It's a situation where the recovery on ledgegrabs ACTUALLY HELPS THE METAGAME
"isn't it actually devolving the metagame"
[2:06:02 AM] Twitchalus: It's not devolving if it's just revamping itself
[2:06:02 AM] Twitchalus: So now we know why things are losing specialfall
[2:06:16 AM] Twitchalus: because edgehogging and guarding is actually becoming easier and more effective in a simple way
[2:06:29 AM] Twitchalus: So recovering over the stage is becoming better as an option than sweetspotting, such as Fox sideb, he actually has a way to recover other than the ledge now, which is BETTER than going for the ledge. Always DI up. Always. So you can sideb over them and airdodge down.
Note that this assumes getting knocked off of the ledge does not refresh ledge invuln on the next ledgegrab.
