Edge Slash
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Edge Slash is a special technique for Link, originating from Super Smash Bros. Melee and returning in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was discovered by Lavaris of the SmashWiki community.
[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 of the edge. Also, using the C-Stick Specials controller combination is helpful when trying to perform it.
