This isn't exactly a new discovery and many people already know about it, but for those of you who don't:
Anyone who's still confused should pick marth, up b to the edge, and then jump up and land on the ground. The landing lag should be noticeable.
Characters that are affected by BSL after Up B:
Marth
Mario
Luigi
Pikachu (only if the 2nd part is used)
Squirtle
Charizard
Characters that are affected by BSL after both Up B and Side B:
Falco
Fox
Wolf
C. Falcon
Ganon

To clarify: Basically if you use one of these moves and snap to the edge, the next time you land on the ground, you're going to have 17 or 29 frames of landing lag unless you attack into the ground, in which case you'll have that amount of lag. Unless your move auto cancels, in which case you'll have the 17 to 29 frames of lag.SCOTU said:There is a mechanic that has a "flag" in memory that is set to "on" whenever one of a set of moves (iirc, only moves that can put you in helpless can, but not all do) is performed. The next time you land, the flag is set back to "off" and it has the additional effect of making that landing no able to be interruptible via IASA frames. This goes both for interrupting aerial landing lag, and normal landing lag. It's especially bad for normal landings (and autocancels, since they just give you normal landings), since instead of the IASA 2, and 5 you're used to for a soft/hard landing (soft landing = not fast falling from a height less than or equal to your full jump height; hard landing = fast falling or falling from higher than your full jump), you can't interrupt it, meaning you'll take the full 17 or 29 frames of normal landing lag.
Just remember: It's not lag in itself; it doesn't generate any lag, it just makes you take the the full lag from other sources. It's kinda like AIDS it doesn't kill you by itself, it just makes you extremely susceptible to other ****.
