'''Edge-hogging''' is the | '''Edge-hogging''' is a tactic in the first three games of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, where a character holds onto a [[ledge]] so that a [[recovery|recovering]] opponent cannot grab it, taking advantage of the fact that only one character may generally hold onto a ledge at a time. Casually oriented players tend to dislike the tactic and will often claim it to be '[[cheap]]', while competitive oriented players see the technique as legitimate, being fully combatable, and agree that it is a critical part of recovery disruption. | ||

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. 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 mistimes the edge hog, the invincibility will wear off and the edge hogger can be attacked, | 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.

The entire edge-hogging maneuver has been removed in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Any character can steal the edge from the ledge-grabbing character [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzAyE5P-60w&feature=youtu.be&t=2m06s], causing the previous ledge-grabber to be gently pushed away. | |||
