In the first three games, once a character has received 100% or more damage, they begin to perform a different edge attack than normal. The attacks are usually slower, but do more damage to opponents, although the increase is usually only 3-5%. For example, Yoshi's edge attack involves a quick 6% tail whip, while when at high damage, it becomes a slow 12% headbutt. However, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', this effect is removed and the edge attack is the same regardless of damage percent for all characters. | In the first three games, once a character has received 100% or more damage, they begin to perform a different edge attack than normal.

Edge attacks are generally avoided in competitive play due to their slow speed and limited usefulness. They possess [[intangibility]] frames that make them appear to be safe options, but prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' these frames do not cover the attack's active frames, making them vulnerable to trading with opposing attacks. As of ''Ultimate'' edge attacks are universally intangible until their hitboxes are no longer active, but players will still often use other | Edge attacks are generally avoided in competitive play due to their slow speed and limited usefulness.

However, players will often mix in edge attacks to [[mindgames|catch the opponent off guard]], especially if their character's edge attack has great reach (such as [[Donkey Kong]]'s and [[Wolf]]'s). | ||
