In the first three games, once a character has received 100% of 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 ''[[Smash 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% of damage, they begin to perform a different edge attack than normal.

Players will often use other techniques or attacks to return to the stage instead. 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), and/or has [[intangibility]] frames (which are safer to punish an opponent caught charging [[smash attack]]s near the edge with than other edge options). | ||
