I can do it the rar >zair way semi consistently, I think. Haven't played smash in awhile so not sure. I tried it when Orly mentioned it, and someone said they could do it without running, didn't get that part. But Sago I saw you do it from standing near the ledge. Do you just need to be standing at a certain length off edge or something?

No, you actually have to rar. You need the forward momentum. However, because you can control your airspeed extremely easily in Brawl... you can perform it just by standing at the edge, jumping backwards, and zairing.

You need to be offstage, facing the stage, and close to the ground. These are the requirements to make it work. Skidding from a run-turnaround WON'T help. It doesn't affect your momentum at all. The point of running is to transfer some of that ground momentum into airspeed. I have no idea how this ground→air momentum works in brawl. I have a solid grasp of the concept in melee, though.
