So I was messing around on smash 4 and I noticed something when I pivoting 
moves in the air.
Every knows that if you press followed by when facing left or when facing right will cause the character to turn around and initiate the move in the opposite direction they were facing. The timing is tight and you can mess in up very easily. When you execute this while jumping forward or backward you get a shift in momentum and change direction.
What I discovered is that there is a input you can do BEFORE pressing that allows you to perform this technique much easily.
While you are in the air facing right, tap the stick then , let the stick go to neutral then press . your character will turn around and initiate the move in the opposite direction. Using this method while jumping backwards or forwards takes away the momentum shift you would get when using the other method.
This tech will allow Captain Falcon and Ganondorf to turn around and do their WITHOUT the extra long wind up animation in the air. It also allows Little Mac to pivot his
move in the air. Makes for a nice surprise when retreating. This tech allows Samus to B reversal her charge cannon in the air since it can not be done using the standard b reversal tech.
I hope this is somewhat useful for someone!
