There is a problem... Edge Hogging (the act of holding an edge so that no one can grab it) completely obliterates the recovery ability of tether characters like Olimar and Ivysaur. They have no extra jump, all they have are their tethers. Holding onto the edge negates the effect of the tether. So, I say on VGC we enforce a rule of "No Edge Hogging under any circumstances." Yes, this will piss off tourney gamers, but if we don't enforce this 2 characters will be broken completely. It was a cheap strategy in Melee anyway. So what this means is: When you grab the edge, you do it to recover, that's it. You grab, and you climb up.
