Crowd gasp

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:

1. Jump off a ledge
2. Fall so far that your double jump brings you close to, but not connected with, the ledge.
3. 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). Another way to do it is to get sent flying and grab a ledge (even if you weren't sent off of the stage, only in Melee)
