One of the well-known techniques of Smash Bros, āedge-hogging,ā will be revamped for Super Smash Bros Wii U, as a recently released screenshot and comment from Masahiro Sakurai shows.
Edge-hogging, or edge-grabbing is one of the more advanced (and funny) techniques in Smash Bros where you hold onto a ledge so that the other player, who is trying to return to the stage after falling off, couldnāt grab it. The developer revealed how this will change:
There are many changes being made to attack and defense options for grabbing ledges. In this picture, Link is actually trumping Marioās grab.
Some other changes include:
-Air time and accumulated damage will determine your period of invincibility while hanging on an edge.
-Grab controls will no longer be affected by whether you have above or below 100% damage.
So all those who considered edge-hogging a cheap tactic can cool off, because it will probably be a lot harder to pull it off in the new game.
