My game is good, but I've been told on multiple occasions that I play too nice. I've been working on edge hogging and other things like chasing and killing someone to death and spikes.
The thing I can't get down is edge hogging. I see players simply run over to the edge and grab it with no delay. When I try this, I find myself jumping and taking way too long to edge hog.
How is this done quickly so I can utilize those invincible frames and ruthlessly cause people to die?
Mac out.

Some moves when you go off the ledge. Like a move that elevates you. Can get a quick grip on the ledge. Sometimes Short hopping backwards can work. I don't edge hog much. I edge guard more then anything I guess.

That's exactly what I've been doing. That's probably the best and easiest way to edgehog unless you're going to try and slip some mindgames into it. Might I recommend a banana placed where they'd trip if they recovered normally? Always back something up with mindgames, psyching out your opponent is just as useful as edgehogging them. |

It's like a Gyrostopper. For me. I set the Gyro down next to the ledge. and when they jump, roll, or try to get up. it will send them back down without grabbing the edge. It happened to Vax when I played him.  |

gyro?? bananas?
oh, you kids and your Items... haha
I've found that a quick Dsmash works for most characters, especially Marth and Ike, as their Dsmash goes front, then back, and that will catch most people no matter what the use when they get up.
As long as the timing is right , of course.

Bleh your lucky with your back and forth hitting Down Smash.
Mines both at the same time with Lucario or 3 times forward barley catching the back with Lucas.

lol marth's dsmash sucks
in terms of range it's a little better than fsmash
in terms of catching a roll, it sucks when you think you COULD just fsmash and then 4 frame DB them...
only time marth's dsmash is useful in melee is if you clank with his fsmash because dsmash comes out just as fast as sheiks dsmash (5 frames) and will auto tipper because fsmash clanked....
but really, dsmash is a bad move to have lag on if it leaves half your body wide open unnecesarily.
if you want to think of "is my dsmash good" ask yourself if it is as fast as MKs, has the coverage (body) of MKs, and has the lag (or lack thereof) of MKs. If those answers are 2/3 yes, then you have a good dsmash.

R.O.B.'s Dsmash is good. But it's almost as stale as it can get. Too many noobs spotdodge, then dsmash, thinking that it will stop everything.

So about a week ago I figured out pivot grabbing, and today I found out how to shield grab. Yeah, I'm a little behind on some stuff.
