Guardians of the Ledge

Introducing Ledge Grabs – the #1 requested feature!

Yes, we hear you!

Here’s how ledge grabs actually work:

  • When you’re close to the ledge, and falling, once your character gets below the ledge point, it automatically grabs the ledge.
  • Once you do, you automatically get up (you can’t ‘edge hog’ – can’t wait hanging)
  • You have around 20 frames when starting the grab, to do a few other things, before you start going up:
    • Ledge attack – just press attack – it goes up and attacks above ground – you’re invincible until ~2 frames before the actual hit
    • Jump
    • Fall
    • Dash – press dash to roll behind the opponent above the ledge (you’re invincible while doing so)

  • Edge trumping – if you’re grabbing the ledge and somebody else comes to take it, it automatically throws you out, and he gets the ledge
  • When you grab the ledge, you’re invincible, but only for the first time you grab it (before touching the ground)
