Good stuff to show the newcomers.
F-smash also works at a certain angle.
Keep in mind, this is only after ledge invincibility runs out; after the meta develops and the new ledge mechanics are adapted to, I'm sure fewer and fewer people will allow themselves to become susceptible to these attacks.
Until they do learn though...just keep bopping 'em.
Also in mid/lage-game situations I find D-tilt the best to keep fresh as a kill move for this situation. It's quick and can also catch certain people just before grabbing the ledge if they aren't going for a lower recovery.

There's nothing more satisfying than landing a F-smash edgeguard.

The Dair will spike if you short-hop it, also, if your back happens to be right against the ledge, if you jab 1 then short hop to fast fall then you can do a fast ledgegrab, but that's more useful for ledge trumping than punishing someone for hanging around. You could also mix it up with a ledge canceled bomb to change the timing, but generally this would all only be useful while they are in the process of recovering, and are about to ledge grab as opposed to doing it after they've grabbed the ledge already.

Shorthop Dair Spike sounds mean.

If you get a ledge trump, or if they are hanging around too long, it's a very good way to end their stock, also sorry about the editing in my post there, I kept thinking of stuff I wanted to add at the last minute. You have to start the Dair immediately when you start jumping or you'll just hit them away, which isn't so bad either because Dair is a powerful attack either way. Also, if you Dsmash, that hits on the ledge too, and if you space it right, they won't be able to use any ledge get-up options to escape.
