I had Kadano walk me through the inputs for a perfect ledgedashes, figured I'd share them with you guys.

"For Sheik, it is very similar, but her perfect execution is a low Shino stall (so that the explosion doesn’t come out). Regular Shino stall gives her a −1 ledgedash (one frame less actionable intangibility than with perfect execution)."

"I proposed that we consider Sheik’s high ledgestall (where the hitbox is active) optimal."

"For the ledgedash afterwards:
1-8 (ledgegrabbing lag)
9 drop from the ledge with control stick or C-stick
10 jump with the control stick held towards the stage
11-16 hold the control stick towards the stage
17 hold an angle between approximately 330° and 343° and press L/R"

"Doing so will give you 11 frames of actionable intangibility, just 1 less than with “perfect” execution (requires low up-B ledgestall and an earlier waveland timing that would produce a suicide in the “optimal” scenario)"

so i asked the sensai: "when you drop from the ledge, should you use down or back or does it not matter?"
to which he replied:

"It technically doesn’t matter, but if you use down and hold it for at least one additional frame, you will fast fall, which screws up the follow-up timing.
Here is a diagram with all control-stick ledge options:

I think using the part of the ledgedrop shape that is aligned slightly forward would be optimal."



so i asked: "so for the transition on from 9-10, you need to have the stick down/back on frame 9, then in on frame 10?"

to which he answered:
"Yes, exactly. If you use the part of the shape I just mentioned, this will be much easier to do within 1 frame."

praise be unto him. now start invincible grabbing/tilting :D

from playing around in debug mode, the hardest part appears to be that you must airdodge on a specific frame in order to land immediately

Im not quite sure i understand, are you talking about the fact that a shino stall that not perfect can be edge guarded?

no. this is a guide on how to do invincible ledgedashes, which is where you waveland onto the stage from the ledge fast enough that you carry over your invincibility. what you are doing on the ledge beforehand effects the timing on the ledgedash (see the OP for details). i can answer a specific question if you have one

Thanks for this! Also, do you know how man frames of invincibility you get for grabbing the ledge?

Derp, I guess if I do the math, that would be 28 invincibility frames D=

Edit: I'm bad at explaining things, so I'll just quote kadano's post instead:
Grabbing the ledge is intangible and takes 7 frames for every character except Link (3 frames). After this animation is completed, you will stay intangible for another 30 frames, regardless of what action you do during this period.
