Edge Slash

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

Edge Slash is a special technique for Link, originating from Super Smash Bros. and continuing from Super Smash Bros. Melee into Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was discovered by Lavaris of the SmashWiki community. The N64 version was discovered by Andgar using TAS exploits.

[edit] How to Perform

When you are playing as Link, do a quick dash near the edge and perform Link's Spin Attack. The attack's frames will appear, and Link will slide off of the stage, quickly inflicting damage to nearby opponents. Link may then be able to recover normally. The technique is best for quickly racking up damage on an opponent. However, the attack should not be used in 1-on-1 matches, as it is hard to perform and leaves you vulnerable. The timing of the frames can be hard to dictate, seeing how most players' reflexes tell them to stop at the very edge so they won't fall off. Also, using the C-Stick Specials controller combination is helpful when trying to perform this.
