Edge momentum shifting is an advanced technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and | Edge momentum shifting is an advanced technique in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros 4]]'' which involves a character dashing off an edge and using one of their specific special moves to cover a large distance off the edge. The technique was also possible in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' prior to update [[1.0.8]]. | ||

There are multiple known combat applications for edge momentum shifting although its usefulness varies between characters. One of the more common uses is for edge-guarding. Any aerial move can be executed after edge momentum shifting off an edge (assuming you do not land on another platform immediately after), but the most useful of them would likely be to use it off the stage followed by an aerial. {{SSBB|Mario}} for example can perform the technique with his [[Cape]] (known as a "Cape Glide") and if his Cape connects, he can follow it up with a [[forward aerial]] [[meteor smash]], because, with correct timing, the player can almost always return to the stage using Mario's [[Recovery|recovery moves]]. The technique can also be combined with [[B-reverse|B-reversing]] on platforms or stages with no solid walls to give the technique further utility and making the technique useful for quick maneuverability on levels with midair platforms such as [[Battlefield (SSBB)|Battlefield]]. | There are multiple known combat applications for edge momentum shifting although its usefulness varies between characters.
