Edge recovering with Falco

[NiGHTS7041]

What do you think is the best way to recover off an edge with Falco? What i personally like to do is FF off then wall jump off the edge and dash back on. That way if your opponent tries to hit you, there is a possability of spiking them down. Any thoughts?

I usually find myself either rolling back on, or doing an edge hop into a dair, L-cancelled into a shine, and then just get back to my ground game.

I usually edge hop into phantasm, dair or nair. It depends on the percentage of my opponent. If they are on a high percent, nair will allow you to SHL a few times then foward smash. If they are on a low percentage, nair wont send them very far and so they will be able to counter attack so i use dair if they are on a low percentage. I only use phantasm if they have just landed from an aerial attack or are recovering from something cos if phantasm dont hit, you are gonna eat some moves.

I'm assuming you mean the Falco Phantasm by "dash." This could be a good tactic to use occasionally, but if you make it a habit it's pretty easy to punish. Falco Phantasm isn't invincible, and if your opponent is able to predict/react when you'll use it, then you'll find yourself dying a lot. It doesn't take too much to kill Falco when he's off the edge; a little tap will sometimes be enough to put him out of recovery range. Basically, it's alright to use rarely, but don't make it a habit.
