Some dude frozen from NYC who definitely knows more pm specific tech than me will hover away -> down-B. He says it's a good down-B setup, and down-B is such a huge reward. I can't tell if I'm messing it up or if it's not guaranteed so I just want to see if other people can verify this.
Right now I'm hella boring and treat the hover n-air like metaknight's brawl tornado, occasionally NOT hitting the shield so that the shield shrinks and then trying to get that "corner hitbox" to poke. If that doesn't work I wait until the veryyy end of the hover and f-air -> l-cancel cause I'm a melee player and love to just l-cancel stuff instead of do optimal hover cancel what nots, and if they're dumb and drop their shield to try and punish a mewtwo who is like a full character height above and in front of them I have my giant broken sword-length f-air hitbox to beat trades with.
But yeah I'm sure there's like a bajillion setups. Either just n-air right into grab or n-air into up-smash for juggles or SOMETHING, but I definitely acknowledge this as almost a preference thing rather than being optimal, or something where being optimal has so many different conditions and variables that there isn't one clear answer to give, so I feel there's a lot of room to discuss it.
