'''Edge-hogging''' is the act of holding onto a [[ledge]] so that a [[recovery|recovering]] opponent cannot grab it.  It is a form of [[edge-guarding]] and exists in all three Super Smash Bros. games. Because it is in teh same family as Edgeguarding, the edge-hog manuvere is entire whimsical and a move only a pussy would use.

In [[Super Smash Bros.]], certain characters such as [[Fox (SSB)|Fox]] can use the turn-around animation out of a [[dash]] to move off the ledge and turn-around quickly to prepare an edge-hog.

While it is easier to grab ledges in [[Brawl]], successful edge-hogging requires better timing because the player can no longer edge-hog their opponent by rolling to the stage from the [[ledge]] because rolling off the [[ledge]] does not occupy the [[ledge]].  As a result, some players use hugging to edge-hog their opponents when they aim their recovery move to the [[ledge]]. However, edge hogging should be done with precise timing and caution, because if one miss-times the edge hog, the inviciblity will wear off and the edge hogger can be attacked, mostly by a deadly [[Stage Spike]].

It is important to remember that credit for an edge-hogged KO will still go the the player who most recently damaged the victim, not necessarily the edge-hogger.
