infinite ledge hog

[fearednerd]

im wondering how u do the infinte ledge hog with the up b move

[jamz]

press the joystick away from the platform/ledge so u let go. then upB as fast as u can. it will take a while to get it down but practice makes perfect. but there is really no need to stay invincible for long periods of time. thats not to say it doesnt have its purposes. for example it is very good for edge guarding marths.

all you have to do is press the control stick to the opposite direction from where you are hanging and quickly do the up+b, if done quickly enough, falco should grab the ledge himself..
atleast that's how I do it...

it's pretty simple, i have no idea how you could not figure it out on your own.

I mean, you wanna ledgehop, so you'd go to legde. Then you ledgedrop and you know that an upB squeezes in there somewhere so...... do an up B.

hmm... someone else is up too... I haven't slept at all this night, about half an hour ago I came home from a drinking trip... I'm just not tired so maybe I'll try and help someone... :D

and what does it affect? ive seen bombsoldier and others doing so, but i dont get why?

You can also do the shine variation; where you drop slightly, shine, jump quickly, Up+B. It's easier to do, so you might wanna start with that one, and try to remove the shine part when you're ready.

It's because the moment you grab the ledge your character starts flashing, which means you've just gained invincibility frames making it impossible for your opponent to hit you for a short period of time. This can force a recovering marth to using his up-b to get past the ledge and onto the stage, giving you a free hit.

yea that what i thought i had to do but since falco is a heavy faller (iono why since birds shud fly) it was hard to get it down

[jamz]

y... falco is a heavy faller ...

falco is not heavy. he is in fact a light character. he just is as fastfaller (like fox and CF).
