Well, I've always wondered why I'd sometimes randomly have a TON of landing lag when all I did was fall normally. So the other night Shaeden figured it out - if you do an Up+B, the next time you land normally, you will have the Up+B landing lag. This means, if you Up+B to grab a ledge, ledgejump and land, you will have the full Up+B landing lag.
This also applies if you Up+B, get hit while you're still falling, and then land normally.
If you get hit out of your Up+B and hit the ground (no tech), you will have the Up+B lag upon jumping and landing normally.
Airdodging will NOT get rid of this landing lag.
You will have about half as much lag by ledgehopping (dropping from the ledge then double jumping onto the stage).
You can prevent this landing lag by doing an aerial and landing with it, which will instead give you the landing lag of that aerial. Since Marth's fair and uair are pretty quick, this is probably one of the better options available.
You can also prevent it by ledgejumping onto a side platform on Battlefield. I'm not exactly sure why this one works, but it may have something to do with the ledgejump animation.
You can also prevent it by getting up, attacking, or rolling onto the stage from the ledge. Apparently this resets the flag that you've landed.
(EDIT: Actually, it might not. I'm not sure. You might get the landing lag the next time you jump and land normally.)
Just thought I'd share, since I didn't see anything in the Marth boards about this already.
