A crowd gasp is something that happens often in the Super Smash Bros. series. A crowd gasp consists of coming close to being knocked downwards off a stage, and either barely missing your recovery, or narrowly recovering.
Hearing a crowd gasp
- To hear a crowd gasp, follow these steps:
- Jump off a ledge
- Fall so far that your double jump brings you close to, but not connected with, the ledge.
- Fall a little more and use your Up B recovery, but make it a near miss.
You should then hear the crowd gasp. A much easier way of hearing a crowd gasp is to be edge-guarded against (provided you don't use an offensive Up B and attack your opponent for possession of the ledge).
