Summary
When recovering off stage, up B special recovery moves usually sweetspot snap to the ledge. This technique allows players to override the ledge snap and allow their up B special to go past the ledge.
Requirements
None.
How To Perform
- When returning low off stage, press up + B for recovery special towards the ledge
- As your character goes up, press down on the directional stick. This will prevent the ledge snap and allow your character to go past the ledge.
- Hold down until you have safely passed above the ledge. Allow the directional stick to return to neutral if you intend to fall back down and grab the ledge, otherwise you will fail to grab the ledge and fall to your doom.
Uses
- Can be used to recover and land on stage from below the ledge
- Can be used to hit opponents standing too close to the ledge who aren't shielding
- Can be used to give you an extra amount of delay time before grabbing the ledge In instances where you're competing for grabbing the ledge, preventing opponents from trumping you and in some cases potentially giving you the ledge trump
Pros & Cons
- Useful mixup can take opponents by surprise and give you the upper hand
- Can prevent being ledge trumped and put in a vulnerable position, or trump opponents
- Difficulty, usefulness and punishability varies between characters and across different situations
- Incorrect execution can cause you to fall to your doom, snap to the ledge accidentally or land above/on the stage in a vulnerable position
