Just goes into a helpless state and falls off.

Looks like the Buster ability is too OP.

I'm not seeing any helpless state frames, though it's possible he was trying to do an OoS attack that when in the air ends in a helpless state but your f-smash pushed him off stage before the animation can finish.

More likely though, your f-smash's knockback pushed in far enough away that his OoS attack got cancelled due to it being a ground attack but no ground was there. Once the player had realized that what he/she was hoping to do didnt' work, it was too late to save himself. I've had it happen on a couple of occasions when I try to OoS something but knockback got in the way.

Falcon tried to Raptor Boost out of shield but the shield knockback combined with raptor boost's startup (where falcon dashes backwards for a few frames) caused him blow offstage and die.
Raptor Boost off a ledge causes helplessness.

He was in a helpless state once he got pushed off the ledge. Curled up and flashing.

The image is really small and low res for me, so I'm not able to see much of the free-fall flashing.
