The '''sweet spot''' of a ledge is the furthest point from the edge at which a character can still grab the edge after a [[recovery]] move (usually [[up B]]). "Sweet spot" can also be used as a verb, i.e. "He sweet spotted the ledge."  Players strive to sweet spot the edge when recovering to avoid being [[edge-guarding|edge-guarded]] - a sweet spotting recovers too low to be hit by most ground attacks and is thus much safer than a character who comes above the ledge during his up B recovery (like [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Ganondorf]]). Certain characters can sweet spot easier than others, and some characters have trouble sweet spotting. Wolf is a common example, as he is known to have the worst sweet spot in his Up B. For the Up B to sweet spot, the attack must land precisely on a ledge in order to edge grab.

The sweet spot of a ledge is the furthest point from the edge at which a character can still grab the edge. This is normally in reference to a recovery move such as up B. This distance varies for different characters, with some characters such as Captain Falcon (SSBM) and Ganondorf (SSBM) being unable to sweetspot. Other characters such as Dr. Mario (SSBM) can sweetspot from far away.
