A ledge recovery attack is an attack performed by pressing the attack button while hanging on a ledge. The character will get up while performing an attack. There are 2-3 different Ledge Recovery attacks for each character. Once a character has received 100% of damage, they begin to perform a different ledge attack then normal. They are usually slower, but do more damage to opponents, although it is usually only 3-5% more. For example, Yoshi's edge attack involves a quick 6% tail whip, while when at high damage, it becomes a slow 12% headbutt.
