The fact that some of you actually think edgehogging is cheap or unfair is pathetic.

Edgehogs are good because they are cheep and they have a higher success rate then edgeguards.
****...double post. I really hate my connection sometimes...Edgehogs are good because they are cheep and they have a higher success rate then edgeguards.
We are not.nubs all of you
I think this is the best answer ive seen.well the ppl saying it are being dumb.
Next time someone says, just look over calmly and say well then dont go for the edge : )
Assuming they say something along the lines(Dont edgehog me!! Edgehogging is cheating! Why do you edgehog its not fair!)
Just don't listen Edgehogging is too good
Yeah most of the times you can regret it!!Hah I aswell sometimes dont edgehog when I could, on purpose to go for a fancy kill, miss it and regret it later. I rarely do that though, edgehog ftw. Literally, for the win
Hehe, agreed entirely. I love to edgehog, simply because I know it will make my friends mad, thus throwing off their game.I edgehog all the time, especially when idiotic n00bs challenge me.
I wavedash backwards onto the ledge, and watch the classic look on the n00b's face. Edgeguarding is different, though. I like to play mindgames with the opponent and act like I'm gonna wavedash onto the ledge. Instead, when I'm using Falco, I SH the laser, preventing their movement, and edgehog then.
When it doesn't work, I simply drillspike.
And yes, edgehogging is a literal "FTW."
I liked that anwser about shield grabbing, maybe that will help with playing against stupid shield grabbers.Edgehogging works really well. Of course, I don't do it, mostly since my brother plays Pikachu, and he can recover great distances. Random backairs/neutral airs work so well.
Oh, shieldgrabbing is good. Its a technique. Anything in the game that's non-physical [ex, unplugging the controller] and is COMPLETELY overpowered [IC glitch] are allowed. Shieldgrabs can be stopped by not being too predictable with your shffles.
lol, proud of yourself ?I edgehog all the time, especially when idiotic n00bs challenge me.

I SG with ICs mostly, once I get a hold of someone I pummle them and smash with the C-stick for maximum damage. I find myself doing it too much but normally the people I'm playing don't have good mindgames [sorry I had to use this word] they play really freakin' obvious, I can read their moves from a mile away.Shield grabbing is a pretty good technique. I use it against my brother as well, of course, he is getting better at stopping it. However, shieldgrabs work best when you always go for predictable shhfls, and miss the L-Cancel.
If someone abuses the shield grab, punish them for it. Trick them into doing the sheild grab, then going for a JC grab, or a sidestep so their grab misses.
Almost all techs are not cheap [maybe except unbeatable stall techniques, IC glitch, etc]. Use them as you can in order to win.
Oh what, what do you want me to put thumbs up??? I can say something most ppl hate other players that edgehog and just won't get it.lol, proud of yourself ?
j/k Anyhow I'd do the same thing, 4 stock him, and if he gave me any kind of noob attitude I would just plain shake my head in disgust and walk away without saying anything.
If he seemed intrested in learning more about the game I'd help him out.
This thread makes me laugh Edgehogging *THUMBS DOWN*
Rofl, nub.
You guys see, ppl at first don't use it, then after......they do!! Uh i jus cant say that it's cheap.I never really payed attention to it being the most easiest way to finish off an opponent. I mean, back then before I didn't realize it, I sorta did it every once in a while. But I, too, thought it was cheap and didn't do it. Then when I entered my first tournament, they was killin' it! So, here I am doin' the same thing now!
If they got edgehogged with low damage it shows how much they suck or how unlucky they are.What if it's a close game.....there is one stock left for each player and all of the sudden the other player grabs the edge, with the other player with little damage, GAME OVER!!! He can't come back. This obviously shows no skill.
