Talk:Edge getup

Some stuff
I've noticed a couple small things not covered in the article. The first is that in all three games, if a player presses down on the control stick, but not fully, while holding a ledge, that players character won't fastfall; he'll let go as if the player had pressed away. The second applies only to Melee, so I don't know if it's relevant to the article, but if you press up slightly in a similar manner as before while hanging onto a ledge, you will climb up as if you had pressed toward the ledge. 67.142.166.23 15:50, 14 July 2013 (EDT)

Merger/Move Suggestion
I think the giant list of recovery attacks belongs in its own article and it should be linked from the Edge recovery article. Also, it says that there are 2-3 recovery attacks for each character, but I am only seeing two. Is there any case where there are 3? --Quilt (talk) 05:26, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Eh, it's around 18k bytes, which isn't too much ATM. I don't think the lists will be split at this current point in time. S c r 7 Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 05:29, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Trivia Point addtion
Sonic is the only character that perform two attacks on the ledge. Would this be okay to put this on the Article? Smashdude10 (talk) 15:41, 4 February 2014 (EST)
 * I don't quite understand this. Can you choose which one to use when you get up, or is it chosen based on your damage? b2jammer (talk) 19:29, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

Split?
This one is personally hard for me to decide on this one. Any comments? D o  t  s  (talk)  The Bold 10:13, 11 August 2014 (EDT)

Support Because the lists would be better off on a separate page. S c r 7 (talk · contribs) 10:21, 11 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Support Per Scr7. Berrenta (talk) 11:29, 11 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Strong Support. This page is already messy, and edge attacks are a move type and should have a page.  Qw er ty (t al k)  12:58, 11 August 2014 (EDT)
 * K then, let's split.  Qw er ty (t al k)  18:57, 17 August 2014 (EDT)

I never see anyone refer to these as "edge recovery", I always see people call it "getup" and refer to them as "getup options" collectively. Additionally, when recovery is already in much more prominent usage for something different in Smash, it can just cause confusion to see the term be used for an entirely different action.

For some numbers, I searched our own Discord server, and there has only ever been a single usage for "edge recovery" and "ledge recovery" each, while "getup" gets 123 results, with usage split between ledge getup and floor getup. If I were to search other Smash Discord servers, I'm sure the disparity would be much more severe. Omega  Tyrant   16:59, March 23, 2022 (EDT)


 * I can understatnd this. Is there intent to do the same for "floor recovery" as well? Toomai Glittershine Toomai.png The Sharp 07:33, March 24, 2022 (EDT)
 * Yeah this should apply to "floor recovery" too, as I never hear that terminology used either. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 01:39, March 28, 2022 (EDT)

Agreed, it definitely needs to be moved to avoid confusion. Getup is the widely used terminology and recovery is already a universally used and official term for something completely different, as you said. Your Senpai, Iron   Warrior  14:32, March 24, 2022 (EDT)

Support: Aside from never hearing of the term outside of this article, when I hear "Edge recovery" the first thing that pops into my mind is perhaps a recovery metho that aims for the ledge, or something related to recovery itself. This has nothing to do with what recovery means in Smash terminology, so a name that doesn't overlap with such would be beneficial.  Omega Toad,  the Toad Warrior.

If no one can bring up a good oppose reason, I'm going through with this, so here is one final bump. Omega  Tyrant   14:10, April 9, 2022 (EDT)

Support, been like a decade since I last heard this term. You can definitely get this twisted with something like, let's say, jank wall jump recovery methods or something. -- Plague  von Karma  06:51, May 4, 2023 (EDT)

Support, Edge recovery isn’t used anymore  Thegameandwatch    The Nerd  23:30, June 24, 2023 (EDT)

Put this through, been open for like a year with no fuss. - Plague  von Karma  05:49, October 31, 2023 (EDT)
