Create Some Weird Edge Situations with the Rapid Jab Edge Slip in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, certain characters like Little Mac and Sheik have jabs which causes them to let fly with a flurry of hits, before eventually being pushed away from the opponent. The push can cause a player to slide off the stage, if they are standing right at the ledge while rapid jabbing. As such, this edge slip can lead into some weird off-stage interactions, as the falling character suffers no lag when being pushed off the edge, meaning they can instantly perform specific moves as soon as they slide off.

Experimenting with this slide, the Beefy Smash Doods have created a new guide, looking at the possible applications of this engine quirk. Certain characters can combo into certain moves and even guarantee a kill with this tech, like a Meta Knight cancelling into Shuttle Loop and KOing somebody off the top. If the character is facing out to the edge of the stage, you can only get this edge slip if you finish the jab sequence, as most characters with rapid jabs do a step forward when they finish flinging hits. Do note that you actually need to be hitting an opponent to get this variation of the edge slip, as it only occurs when your character enters hitlag during the jab sequence.

If the opponent doesn’t know about this version of the edge slip and doesn’t know to jump or air dodge away, it is possible to land certain follow ups like a Bouncing Fish from Sheik or even something like a Fox fair spike into footstool, which will guarantee a kill.
