Link, using a ledge attack.

Ledge Recoveries are a set of moves a character can use when hanging on a ledge. Once a character's invincibility frames gained from grabbing a ledge expire, it is usually prudent to get up off the edge and return to the stage proper. Typically, these moves give a character invincibility frames and allow a semi-safe recovery. This can be done in a variety of ways:

• Climb: By pushing the Control Stick towards the ledge, a character will simply climb up onto the stage with no flair.
• Attack: By pressing an attack button, a character will climb up onto the stage while attacking. This is intended to protect against enemies breathing down a character's neck (if applicable).
• Roll: By pressing a shield button, a character will climb up and roll forward a short distance, typically enough to reach the other side of an attacker.
• Jump: By pressing a jump button or pushing the Stick up, a character will leap upwards and forwards, hopefully over any enemy on the edge. However, this move does not give a character invincibility frames. This option is not available in the first Super Smash Bros.
• Let Go: By pressing the Stick away from an edge, a character will let go. This may seem counter-productive at first, but it is useful if a character wishes to double jump and then air dodge, or for certain other purposes such as using Yoshi's double jump launch resistance. It should be noted that Toon Link wall jumps away from the wall after letting go, which is a useful alternate to jumping in a few cases. Also, depending on the character, double-jumping then using an aerial attack can be faster than using the recovery attack.
• Fastfall: By pressing the Stick down, a character will let go and enter a fastfall. This is generally not useful for recovering.

Ledge Recovery Attack

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it.

A Ledge Recovery Attack is an attack performed by pressing the attack button while hanging on a ledge. The character will get up while performing an attack. There are 2-3 different Ledge Recovery attacks for each character.

Once a character has received 100% of damage, they begin to perform a different ledge attack then normal. They are usually slower, but do more damage to opponents, although it is usually only 3-5% more. For example, Yoshi's edge attack involves a quick 6% tail whip, while when at high damage, it becomes a slow 12% headbutt.

Ledge attacks are generally frowned upon by players due to their slow speed and limited usefulness. Players will often use other techniques or attacks to return to the stage instead. [edit] List of Ledge Attacks (SSB)
