Insane Edgeguarding technique?

[smashfan34]

Ok full hop jump off the ledge and do a dair, the goal is to hit them as much to the left if they are on the right side and vice versa. if done correctly, it will hit them either too far to recover, or it will just kill them immediately. then you should be facing the stage, and you will be able to air dodge+hookshot back on the stage. this is obviously done when they are off the stage. what do you guys think?

[Rubber Adze]

That's the part where they air dodge so both of you die. I mean, it's an idea, but most humans wouldn't fall for that. This usually works on CPUs only.

[Lucky_Sharmz19]

They could probably just DI left or right and you miss and die.

[NJzFinest]

Too risky- just stick with correctly timed Nairs/Bairs since it's easier and more effective.

[DLK]

worst idea ever. Nv dair off stage! Period.

[Gustav Wind]

Maybe Insane as in like... not mentally stable, but not Insane like crazy good.

Wak likes to do it though XD (though he's young link)

[Skler]

It can work if you drop a bomb on them and then pull the dair out, but there are better ways to edgeguard that won't kill you if you miss.

[Stos]

Well ive done dair out of the stage but when i do it i must be winning by a lot. and sometimes when iam haaing and the opponent is under me (fox charging upB) i just lightly press donw an use c stick down ,,, BUT i rarely do it .. advice dont do it when its a close match.. or dont do it at all

if you're facing the stage(FD) and full jump dair(non-fastfall) and miss your target, you should make it back every time, given your opponent doesn't interfere that is. however, there are, of course, better options at your disposal.

[Lucky_Sharmz19]

Like D tilt, Up B, N air, or B air.

Wak does it with Y.link because y.linmk has a higher 3rd jump. Plus possibility of the spike with sword hilt.

[Deva]

First of all, there is a huge difference between the jumping and sword plant abilities of Y.Link and Link. There is much less risk when performing it with Y.Link. If you attempt it with Link, you have to hit the opponent or you literally just KO'd yourself. If they air dodge it or you just plain miss, the sword plant will last too long for you to recover. Only use it if you are a stock ahead in a match so if the opponent air dodges you still keep your lead, or if you just have a gut feeling that your opponent won't see it coming, which most likely won't happen.

[DLK]

I just said that bascilly except alot shorter.

I got a better edge guard tech.

edge hog, ledge jump, nair. rinse repeat till they can't land on the stage and they fall for a edge hog

Seriously nair is your best edge guarding tool

[Ceriph]

If you hit them, then great, but having tried it many times and failed, I don't recommend it.

The only reason I've tried it that many times though is because I'm learning falco and I'm use to having a spike so I forget Link doesn't work the same.

But ya, you will miss too easy with that, I'm just a beginner by boards standards but I'd rather uB or toss boomerang then Bair.

i agree.

If you attempt it with Link, you have to hit the opponent or you literally just KO'd yourself. If they air dodge it or you just plain miss, the sword plant will last too long for you to recover. Only use it if you are a stock ahead in a match so if the opponent air dodges you still keep your lead, or if you just have a gut feeling that your opponent won't see it coming, which most likely won't happen.

when facing toward the stage(final desto) you can full jump and dair while on the rise; do not fast-fall. and even if you miss with it, there's should be no excuse for not being able to make it back, unless your attempt to recover was intercepted by your opponent. otherwise, you'll have plenty of time to come out of the dair animation and>mid-air jump> up air-dodge>hook-shot>up-b>grab edge; there's nothing hard about this, at all.

nevertheless, you should hardly ever edge-guard this way, if at all.

NAIR IS the BEST edgegaurding move in my opinion i use it A LOOOOOOOOOT of times

[hit0]

Link has SOOO many edge-guarding tecniques!, but...if i want to use DAIR, i would edge hog and then DAIR right on them as they land right on the BORDER of the stage...this is very useful vs sheiks and space animals. I think everyone will agree with me on this one.

[NJzFinest]

I only do D-airs on the border of the edge of the stage against characters who have a hard time sweetspotting the edge (such as CFalcon and Ganondorf).

This is definitely more combo-video material than practical match material. Mind you, I've hit my brother with it before, but more times than not I kill myself trying this.
