The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Donkey Kong (SSBM)/Edge attack (fast)
Overview
Donkey Kong hoists himself up off the ledge, before rapidly flinging himself backwards, hip first, towards the center of the stage. The move was nerfed in the transition from 64 to Melee, getting less intangibility and active frames; regardless, it is one of his most used ledge recovery options, and arguably his best option, as it has a lot of stand-out traits as compared to other ledge attacks, and his advanced ledge options have issues of their own: namely, his ledgedash is worse than average, granting him a paltry 7 frames of GALINT, and his attacks from ledge (not to be confused with his ledge attacks), done by letting go of ledge and immediately double jumping, are terrible for attacking opponents on-stage (with the notable exception of his aerial Spinning Kong).
Compared to other less-than-100% ledge attacks, DK's is markedly swift; in fact, it's the 2nd-fastest ledge attack in the game, coming out in ³⁄₂₀ of a second, and is only 1 of 3 to be unreactable, the others being Bowser's and Peach's. In addition, the move has incredible range, covering almost a ⅓ of Yoshi's Story, and is slightly disjointed. It even has the possibility to lead to a tech chase, as it will tumble every character lighter than Ganondorf at 0%. This is counterbalanced by the move's weaknesses, however. It loses to both shield and crouch cancelling, owing to the move's long end lag. In addition, if it misses, it leaves him a sitting duck, making baiting the move out and standing just outside its range a very strong counter-option.
