Backwards Side B to ledge. Safer than Up B if applicable

Basically you just use side B to insta ledge snap if you are 'inside' the stage. your instinct might be to just go for the up b, but that move doesn't snap, pushes your hitbox through the stage (susceptible to dsmashes or other moves), and has a poor hitbox that cannot contest incoming aerials. Works on any stage that has this shape. BF, SV, T&C, Lylat. To a lesser extent FD.

in the following video i just show off a simple way to use it offensively. but i'm sure you can see how it can be used in a normal recovery situation.



not new or anything but its definitely helpful and I have seen LMs on FG using the unsafe UpB when they could have done this instead.
