that is cool! too bad all the opponents I play are smart and make sure they keep invincibility on the edge

 

[Melomaniacal]

Yeah it won't be too often that we get to take advantage of this, but it's a good thing to know. Another way to capitalize on your opponents mistakes.

 

[JustNoOne]

So when we do this, we can just simply NT spike them?

If so.... easy kills xD

 

[ignore the fire]

the music was perfect lol.
this may work every once in a while as a sort of surprise i guess.
good find.

 

[Strawhatz]

Nice one! I can use this when I play IC against my friends :D

Woo, time to own hardercore. XD

 

[Ballistaboy]

This is awesome, granted it won't work all the time but it forces your opponent to get up faster after doing it once.

 

[K 2]

Yeah, it might reduce ledgecampping a bit...maybe. AS Ballistaboy said, it makes your opponent get off the edge faster than they normally do, which puts them under pressure, causing them to make mistakes.

Apparently, this technique only works on certain characters and the character range is different for each character attempting this because of grab range differences. It would be really helpful if someone could come up with a list for who can and can't be grabbed so that people don't end up grabbing air and getting punished for doing so.

It said something awhile back about the characters head having to be above the stage.. Or mgiht be any body part being above. Still, pretty situational, and shocking.

What if someone like Toon Link goes down from the ledge and uses an air move or a projectile back to the stage and hit the ICs.

No.

Most likely people *will go down from the ledge and use an aerial or a projectile if that character has it.*

Edit..
* Wait, not jump out of the ledge but go down from the ledge and then jump to use an aerial.

Wait...so how do you do it? You just do a grab on the ledge or is it more complex then that?

When your opponent jumps, rolls, or gets into the stage, grab with the ICs quickly with the correct timing.

As it's been said before, not very useful since most people won't stay on the ledge while they don't have their invincibility frames. Probably more useful for characters long range grabs. Like olimar/samus

 

[Diddyknight]

this is really nice, can be useful in tight situations
