So, not sure if this deserves a new thread, but I wanted to point this out, so that people could pick this up, since I think its quite useful... And there wasn't any place to post this really.
So, I am aware, this was present since shiek is, I guess (it was possible in melee and brawl iirc). However, it seems to have become really useful here in sm4sh.
What I'm talking about is what the title says. If you run off the edge (can be a platform as well) and input an Up B right at the moment your leaving, you'll get quite some momentum towards the direction you were running (usually, if you do the UpB in the Air, you gain momentum that goes upwards). After inputing this, you can tilt the stick to the opposite direction and get to the edge safly.
First off all, this is really strange. As mentioned, you dont get upwards momentum although youre in the air, but all that momentum plus some extra momentum moves you in the direction you were running.
Second, there is no initional sound of the move, just the explosion after the first bit of the animation sounds. Thats why I call it Silent Up B
So now, what does this? I feel like this is a really flashy edgeguard, people never expect you to do that, its pretty safe, and with the new killing power of the UpB youre actually able to kill your oponent with it. And it can be done off of platforms, so more options for Shiek on Battlefield.
It should be mentioned, the distance you travel doing this can be altered, at least shortened. I havent completely figured to what extend, but it seems like if you do this at the perfect frame, its extremly short, causing you to explode right at/over the edge... whats also kinda cool.
So here you have it. hope this helps anyone.
Please bear with me with my grammer/spelling, english is not my main language.
