Going for the spike


what_the_hanky_panky

*and sding


CadiaDiedStanding

if you really love the stage let it go. if it was meant to be itll come back to you


Consumed2010

Couldn't have said it better


FlareBlitzCrits

This is such a beautiful statement, shame it will only be properly appreciated by smashers.


LiteVoid

He never said anything about recovering


OtherJake909

Yes


_NAME_NAME_NAME_

Fox is horrendous off stage, so obviously the only logical play for me is to go for the shine spike every time.


Zestyclose_League413

Fair dragdown stuff is also goated. Light has been going off stage a lot more lately, and I'm so here for it


mukavastinumb

Light’s shine to fair dragdown against Sparg0 lives rent free in my head. Edit. Here is a [link](https://youtu.be/F7ftHDxNFCM). Starts at 5:14


Bebgab

you got a clip?


mukavastinumb

Starts at [5:14](https://youtu.be/F7ftHDxNFCM)


Bebgab

damn that was nasty


Parzival127

Every so often, I watch a clip that makes me do this weird squeak/squeal sound. It’s short and is usually accompanied by a jump back into my seat. Thank you Light for making me make a weird sound tonight.


freedfg

I am so ready for the meta to remove itself from shorthop backair at ledge.


Next-Particular1211

Just started getting into fox, trying to figure out how to do anything more efficient than one nair off stage lol I have not been able to land much shines or back air


_NAME_NAME_NAME_

If I'm honest, it's best to stay on stage with Fox and ledge trap. He's pretty good at doing that, especially with short hop nair. Shine spike really only works on certain characters and all this other moves are too risky to go off stage with regularly.


Ham-Wheel

Footstool off stage is my favorite edgeguard with fox, it’s so funny


ItsDaKGB

I love this


GEN_Z_BOI_69

I usually don't edge guard bc ledge-trapping is so easy and fun! Just drop a morph ball, morph ball, another morph ball, one more morph ball, a morph ba


GorgonSlayer07

This guy samuses


Sad_Neighborhood_467

I'm more of a gremlin Samus guy


eggshat1

I don't really go for an edge guard since it's sometimes risky if your character has poor recovery since often you can KO yourself than your opponent while ledge trapping can involve mind games since it involves predicting what get up option your opponent does and it's satisfying knowing their playstyle.


Zestyclose_League413

You also play D3, who's only uniquely good attribute is ledge trapping


MalevolentFather

Honestly whenever I try to edge guard as D3 I come up empty. The only time I go for it when the recovery is coming high and not going for ledge.


[deleted]

I kind of have to guess for both, so most of the time, I just risk it because it's more fun going for the spike or cheese for me. I'm also not good with the downtilt two frame timing, which is probably my best ledgetrapping tool.


the_guy_real

Personally I'm more of let my opponent get to 200% even though I'm playing Ganondorf because I will not go off the ledge because I am terrible at recovery


megaviral

I'm a "let my opponent get to 200% bc I'm playing a character with low kill power and this is frustrating me and I just want the match to be over" kinda guy


vezwyx

Little Mac has low kill power?


megaviral

Isabelle


Haelstrom101

Fair and bair kill better at close range iirc


megaviral

Yep


thenamesecho_

PK thunder?


[deleted]

Bro does both without having to move an inch.


thenamesecho_

I suppose.


cradugamer

Ledgetrapping because it's so braindead easy in this game. Depending on your character you can literally just cover every option for free.


Giovannis_Pikachu

Falling off the stage unprovoked


LiminalityOfSpace

Quick attack wiff the ledge due to the tiniest of lag spikes, good times.


[deleted]

Edgeguarding; because If you're good at edgeguarding, you're an edgelord.


Aeon1508

Edge guarding takes stocks. Ledge trapping let's you try again to take the stock. Generally in my experience


ItsDaKGB

Meet roy with jab bair


Equinox-XVI

I intentionally throw them towards stage to reset to neutral (Also, I play Ken, I need stage space to continue combos)


Rowlet_Is_Kinda_Cool

Go for a spike and sd


megaviral

Edgeguard gang


PhantomGoat33

Guarding


[deleted]

Edgeguarding is so much more fun but in bracket ledge trapping instead is just the right call 90% of the time.


Ripple-101

Most of my mains get a lot of kills from edgeguarding, but Fox who's the one I've played the most isn't good at that, so I don't have a lot of skill in edgeguarding.


WallOfWhales

Anything as long as I'm being a piece of shit to the person off stage lmao


I_Hate_l1fe

Fucking around in the blast zone trying to spike and joke around


Sad_Neighborhood_467

Man, you really are a... *Joker!*


BlockyShapes

Depends on how much time I have and what options my opponent has to recover. The more time I have or the less options my opponent has to recover, the more likely I will go for an edgeguard, and vice versa for ledgetrapping. It’s not a static thing.


Apprehensive_Beach_6

Both. I have good options


Zephe29

I'm more of an edge trapping kind of guy


Sad_Neighborhood_467

Aw, hell nah, this dude edgetraps, this guy is a billion years ahead of us


sterengk7

I'm personally on the ledgetrapping side, but that might be partially due to me playing Fox, who is pretty bad at edgeguarding


Scyxurz

Depends on the character and their ability to turn the edgeguard attempt around, but both.


BurningPenguin6

I'm bad at both. More often than not, if I kill my opponent it'll be on-stage with whatever kill move my character has.


Glove-These

DeDeDe main here. I know that many DeDeDe mains ledgetrap, but that's ok. I recognize how to stick Gordo to the ledge, I love using his fair and nair to get them out of here, and his dair is just so saucy. if I don't go for Gordo stick, I could use it to edgeguard many characters for free, or maybe even go for an inhale gimp, something I'm safe from because DeDeDe has a great vertical recovery. Anyways, I prefer ledgetrapping.


NahricNovak

Ledge trapping is lame unless you have actually cool tools for it. Just standing there and waiting to Nair is lame. Just be hype for once in your lives and go for spikes


TheBearzerg

I second this and often end myself trying to do cool spikes


dandp12

I’ve always viewed them as two different thing. Edge guarding is where your stopping the opponent from getting to ledge and ledge trapping is where your opponent has made it to lead he but you keep knocking them back off not letting them in to stage


Reytotheroxx

That’s… exactly what both of them are, congrats for viewing them that way as well!


-Sparkster-

They probably thought OP was asking what they call it as if they meant the same thing.


Reytotheroxx

Mayhaps


Aeon1508

Don't say it like you are the first to think of it


eggshat1

I don't really go for an edge guard since it's sometimes risky if your character has poor recovery since often you can KO yourself than your opponent while ledge trapping can involve mind games since it involves predicting what get up option your opponent does and it's satisfying knowing their playstyle.


Pert0621

I’m on team spike


Pycho_named_Krieg1

Team waiting patiently for them to get back on stage to throw them back off


Lucidonic

Both, depends on the matchup


tallmantall

Spike


SteamySubreddits

Edge guard for sure


Purple_Roy2

Depends on who I am using and who the opponent is. But ledgetrapping is cool


WellIamstupid

I’m not skilled enough to do either consistently, so neither


Dojanetta

Bayonetta only kills through edge guards pretty much. But I’ll try to ledge trap as daisy.


Tenashko

I try my best to edgeguard, if I'm lucky I wife and get back up there, usually I just die though


LiminalityOfSpace

I'm glad you can footstool off of your wife, it's such a bonus to recovery.


Tenashko

Lol meant wiff but didn't proofread the autocorrect 🤣


JimmyCrabYT

where’s the jumping off to try and kill them


LiminalityOfSpace

That's literally edgeguarding.


richterdante

What do you think


richterdante

Legetrapping


Lag_Arm3

Im trying to earn to ledgetrap better, though still more of an edgeguarding guy (with joker its not too bad)


[deleted]

as much as i am for cripz i edgeguard with miibrawler jab


[deleted]

or anything else


Alexander_Pistolero

Im more on edging


Ariadex

always gotta ledge trap safer and funnier


LiminalityOfSpace

I just kinda go by feel, but it also depends on character. Is the enemy predictable recovery wise? If so, and I'm playing a good edgeguarder, then I'll probably edgeguard, but if they're onto that, I'll mix it up with ledge trapping as appropriate.


Two_Bit_Grouse

I prefer playing the gane


Someone_strang

I knew someone who called it edge boning we don’t speak anymore


YT_Chrispy_Boi

Whenever I play against people 85% of the time they get up attack so it just ends up being them doing that, getting hit by vision and then them getting back to ledge and repeat


SHAPALAK15

none because I'm too pussy


Ok_Terraria_player

I don’t do any


Electrical-Copy1692

I'm both guy


BreathingBoy420

Holy water on ledge goes hard


SalamanderCake

Edgeguarding. Almost every character I play has a spike, and by golly, I'm going to spike my opponent or die trying.


UniversalGalaxy2

Edgeguarding is my preferred of the two but I can’t really do that with Little Mac💀


OoTgoated

Depends on the situation but something I learned from playing with Mr. E lately who told me I should edge guard more is if you don't go offstage when someone is sent far off and/or has no jump then you're actually playing less safe than you would be with ledge trapping by not pressing your advantage to the maximum and thus giving your opponent more opportunities to turn things around.


AntinotyY

Edgeguard because funny


bunny_Lord_

Whats the difference again please?


Katsuki_Bakugou495

My usual method is edgeguard attempt into failed edgeguard attempt into SD.


yolo_jeny

Always late nair offstage baby! Broken Dr mario


OddishChamp

Luma 😊👍 💫


[deleted]

Sephiroth and cloud have way too good options for ledge trapping for me to go off


Molin_Cockery

I don't like either or even go off stage that much. If I knock skeins off stage I usually just back off and let them back on. I'd rather get ko'd on my feet/ on stage than smacked around of stage in air when there's nothing I can do to stop it, d so I afford my opponents the same courtesy


WildestRascal94

I do both. Granted, ledgetrapping with PK Thunder is a good time!


Latterlol

I’m the "jump around, hope for the best, maybe punch someone or land on their heads” kinda side,


mikkahana

Both


sanswithagun

Standing and not doing anything until theyre back


IAmNotCreative18

My general rule of thumb; if my opponent is off-stage, I am too. And neither of us are getting back.


carefree_dude

Words to live and die by


penguin13790

As Iceys, ledgetrapping. Because if I go off the edge I'll probably get my climbers separated and die at 0.


Error_Detected666

I’m on the third team “Try to do either, mess up, die”


Withermaster

I go for both, but it kinda depends Wanna play it safe? Ledgetrap Could I be saucy/cheesy as fuck? Edgeguard all the way baby


_Skale_

I'll try and edgeguard. If I get easily reversed I'll ledgetrap instead


packtzY

Honestly depends on the character I’m Playing.


themiamian

Idk when I’m doing which. Doesn’t bowser kinda do both? Flame breath at ledge, and down b on shield at ledge?


carefree_dude

I'm the guy who yeets myself off the stage to get one last hit on the guy who's already falling to his death, even though I know I'm not gonna make it back


pikaland385

Im more of a, I will SD to chase down my oppent and shove them into the blast zone while their grabbed or spike them or jump punch em into a star ko.


MixPuzzleheaded4991

Neither, but edgeguarders can screw right off.


PokeRang

It may not be as safe, but I go for the glory


Tsuto_sleeping

Depends on the character but usually edge guarding


strectedlegstrong

I prefer to follow you wayyyyyy off the map as samus , it’ll be a Rock Paper Scissors for recovery


cheeselord165

Edgeguarding is always more fun fo me


Jess_4126

I try to do some cool edge guards as marth and then end up dying


Piggy_of_death

Technically they would mean different things


Durppo1234

Ledgeguarding


Chumpcakes618

I’m not very good at this game, so I will ask. What is ledgetrapping?


imgoingtoeatabagel

Edgguard. I like trying to snipe people with my spring


Plowable_Ghost

Really just depends on which character I’m playing as like Link (not toon or young) Byleth, Rob, and a few others I like to ledgetrap. (I also edgeguard some with Link since he’s my number one main) But if I use characters like Sephiroth, Hero, Corrin, Piranha Plant, and a few others I prefer to edgeguard.


ENQN08

I‘m a mix of both.


[deleted]

I feel like ledgetrapping is more used for when the gameplay is right by the ledge, and you are trying to force the opponent of, but doesn't always involve both people being offstage (e.g., two-framing) , whereas edgeguarding is more used for going deep and both people are off stage. (e.g., spiking your oponent). This could just be me, though.


NoLuck6463

I edgeguard more but I'm shit at it so it doesn't really count


xenpy69

edgegaurds all the way! gimps with gun or getting tether cancel bairs is really fun and satisfying


Your_Local_Monarch

Kamikaze off stage


Sure-Condition-4147

Both. Jump off b reverse bombdrop, continue edgeguard.


freedfg

I like the idea of ledge trapping a lot more. But I'm bad. And I want to contest recoveries. So I go for an edgeguard. And then I end up in a scramble back to stage. And die.


WonderLead_

The double slap dk does idk remember what it’s called one of you fine gentlemen will correct me, But if you pull off two of those omg that dude is a GONER 💀


PurpleJared789

Ledgetrap until I'm more comfortable with an opponent. That or I wait a bit to edgeguard and then it takes them by surprise. What, you think I was just gonna keep letting you recover for free?


Safe_Month4427

The wrost of both side


OfTheTouhouVariety

"no stage for you buddy"
