The recovering enemy has few options by which he can defend himself, such as using [[Air Attack]]s or directing himself away from the edge-guarder. When using this style of edge-guarding, most characters put their own life in jeopardy, being so far off-stage. If, however, the edge-guarder is able to land a powerful Air Attack far off-stage, his enemy will almost certainly die. Even if unsuccessful, the edge-guarder can often [[edge-hog]] the recovering opponent anyways. | ||
