Instead of attacking the recovering player, you just snatch the ledge first. Since only one fighter can hold it, their tether or sweet-spot recovery has nowhere to grab and they fall to their death. Cheap, clean, effective.

Largely a Melee/Brawl thing, later games changed ledge mechanics so it doesn't work the same.
“Edge-hogging that tether recovery is the easiest stock you'll take all set.”

People Also Ask
Does edge-hogging still work in Ultimate?
Not really. Ultimate changed ledge mechanics so a fresh grab bumps off whoever's hanging, which killed classic edge-hogging.
