The '''edge sweet spot''' of a [[ledge]] is the furthest point from the edge of a [[platform]] at which a character can still grab the edge. This is normally in reference to a [[recovery]] move such as an [[up special move]]. This distance varies for different characters, with some characters - such as [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)|Captain Falcon]] and [[Ganondorf (SSBM)|Ganondorf]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' - being unable to edge sweetspot. Other characters, such as [[Dr. Mario (SSBM)|Dr. Mario]], can edge sweetspot from far away.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there are auto-sweetspot specials that allow certain characters to cancel the animation for grabbing the ledge and then can sweetspot the ledge at any direction the character looks. However, not all specials, like [[Corkscrew]], can auto-sweetspot the ledge.
 
Players try to edge sweet spot when recovering to make [[edge-guarding]] more difficult, and therefore [[guard break]]ing easier. Sweet spotting avoids most ground attacks by recovering too low to be hit, and if they are hit it makes [[tech#Wall tech|ledge-teching]] much easier. It also offers the standard advantages of grabbing a ledge such as [[invincibility frame]]s. However, edge sweet spotters are vulnerable to [[edge-hogging]].
