It's good to note that shield-drop instant upair will hit someone above you on the platform. This works in a few niche scenarios (e.g. Fox rising nair onto platform). I also use shield-drop as a mitigation for Jump-squat frames. This would assist you in examples like: - Shield-drop DJ rest on...

Fairly certain that it doesn't matter how long you charge as long as you sweet-spot the edge.

It's more of a "new way to hog ledge" rather than it is new tech. It's definitely not commonly utilized (regardless of how good/bad it is).

It's a good way to bait a sheik to go for the sweetspot and the denying the ledge. Other than that it's fairly gimmicky.

Generally you don't want to be in shield, but being on the ground is fine. Pay attention to how early/late the fox is doing his ariels. If he's nairing early, you can CC grab that any day of the week. If he's adapted to your crouch cancel and starts dairing (into a potential grab/shine) then you...

The most improvement you'll get is from playing actual people. Most of the milage top puff players get is off of mixups rather than tech skill. While there are a few techniques that are imperative to learn, namely; crouch cancel grab, and wave dashing out of shield quickly (especially under...

You don't need to, as fair is almost always a good trade for peach. Any predictable puff should lose the peach matchup as she can reliably trade if you aren't mixing up your ariels.

Took me a while to find a decent quality set to ask for tips in but here you guys go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxkZlc5mef4 I'm not exactly looking for "space back-air better" as I'm fairly aware of the mistakes I made. I'm more looking for a safer way to approach both the fox and sheik...

Finally, it happened to someone else.. In my case, the exact same thing happened on the top right side of the top platform on battlefield, so it definitely wasn't whispy shenanigans. I still can't figure out what it is.

Regardless, I'm defending your point that it's definitely new tech. Whichever part you look at, it's definitely different from run-off sing.

Also, however similar, the "new" part of this tech is the buffered drop off the edge, not the sing ledge grab. So just as Shield dropping and Shai dropping accomplish similar things within frames of each other, they are executed differently. In my opinion, that would classify this as new tech.

This tech is absolutely useful. While it is definitely a gimmick, I've found it mostly useful for baiting sheik to go for a sweetspot. Seeing as most people don't know you can fall off after an Fsmash holding L and Up, they will often think you've whiffed an edge guard, and any smart sheik wants...

Almost every character has invincible ariels, but shield grab counters almost every option. Obviously Hax-dashing is one way of stalling, but with the technical prowess that it requires, I'm not surprised how uncommon it is.

Pretty sure on most if not all platforms fox has enough speed (without smash turn) to hit you.
