Air Breaking, and Dancing Air, my new style of play

So today I was fiddling around with Marth, and I started doing something different...First is the Air Breaker.

I've been using this forever, so it's in no way new, useful, or viable I'd guess, but I find it nice to send my opponent flying, jump, and charge my B, so when they recover they have a Tipper coming. Also I've noticed I never B on the ground, I always jump first, even when I'm standing still.

Then theres the Dancing Air. Ever notice how you can do a turn around >B in the air, and you keep your momentum while moving? Well today I was doing that as a crossover, just to hover over my opponent for a second, and then I noticed something weird. Once in a while, I wouldn't float, I'd shoot down like a Wavedash. And it happened at the best times, If an attack was coming to hit me, I'd go down instead of float for some reason.

And finally, you can Crossover reverse >B to air B.
Now regarding the names, just on the spot things I called them. They most likely have a name already.

If you do it correctly you can begin the dancing blades in the air and move very far forward upon landing.

Marth's entire move set is pretty fantastic and he's a really flexible character.

And the reason you sometimes just fall rather than hover is because you haven't reset the overB. If you overB in the air, to reset it you need to do another jump without overBing and land. For ex. A wavedash will reset the overB.

Another cause is L cancelling.
