Summary
On certain stages, certain fighters in the midst of being ledge trumped can wall jump, and so instead of leaving the ledge with the usual ledge trump lag they will have instant access to any of the usual options out of a wall jump, thus obtaining an unexpected advantage.
Requirements
- Characters must be able to wall jump
- Only works on specific stages (e.g., flat stages like omega versions)
- For certain characters it only works under specific matchups (e.g., Pikachu can only Trump Jump against Lucario)
- For certain characters it only works seemingly at random, possibly affected by ledge hanging animation
- View Beefy Smash Doods Google Docs spreadsheet for more specifics on which characters can use it and on which stages.
How To Perform
- On certain stages, hang on a ledge while playing a character who can wall jump.
- Let your opponent ledge trump you.
- As your opponent trumps you, hold the directional stick away from the stage.
- Your character should automatically jump away from the stage.
Uses
- Take opponents by surprise by having unexpected instant access to inputs after a ledge trump
Pros & Cons
- Can gain an unexpected upper hand off stage by leaving the ledge without lag, potentially leading into attacks or escapes.
- Avoid the lag of a normal ledge trump that could lead to disadvantageous edge guarding.
- Doesn't work in all circumstances against all characters, and sometimes doesn't work for all characters.
