A '''tether recovery''' ({{ja|ワイヤー復帰|Waiyā Fukki}}, ''Wire Comeback'') is a type of [[recovery]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that lets the player latch onto the [[edge]] of a [[platform]] with an extendable item or hook. If there is an open edge when it is used, the tether will automatically connect to it. Pressing the standard attack button after grappling an edge will pull the player towards it. Tether recoveries are effectively the successor to the [[wall-grapple]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', though tethers can only grab onto unoccupied edges as opposed to any wall. Most tether recoveries are [[grab aerial]]s, though some [[special move]]s and [[aerial attack]]s also act as tethers. | A '''tether recovery''' ({{ja|ワイヤー復帰|Waiyā Fukki}}, ''Wire Comeback'') is a type of [[recovery]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Many tether recoveries have a larger range than regular recoveries and also home in on the edge, allowing for better control. However, in ''Brawl'', if the edge is currently occupied when a tether recovery is used, it will fail to grab onto the edge (the player can, however, knock other players off the edge should the tether hit the opponent). None of the other players can grab the edge while a player is attached to it with a tether (prior to ''SSB4''), making it a method of [[edge-hogging]] other players. A tether recovery can only be used three times without touching the ground; if it is used a fourth time, the tether will simply hover near the edge, and the player will have to make use of his/her remaining [[jump]]s. | |||

As of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', multiple characters can latch onto a ledge at once if using their tether, but once players pull up to the ledge, normal ledge grabbing rules apply. | As of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', multiple characters can latch onto a ledge at once if using their tether, but once players pull up to the ledge, normal ledge grabbing rules apply. | ||

{{SSBU|Link}} no longer possesses a tether recovery due to ''Breath of the Wild'' (which is the basis for his current design) lacking both the Hookshot and the Clawshot, although his counterparts {{SSBU|Toon Link}} and {{SSBU|Young Link}} retain the Hookshot as their grab. ''Brawl'' veteran Ivysaur retains its tether recovery [[up special]], and newcomers {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|Byleth}}, and {{SSBU|Min Min}} use a tether recovery for their up specials. | {{SSBU|Link}} no longer possesses a tether recovery due to ''Breath of the Wild'' (which is the basis for his current design) lacking both the Hookshot and the Clawshot, although his counterparts {{SSBU|Toon Link}} and {{SSBU|Young Link}} retain the Hookshot as their grab.
