Is it worth it to charge needles when you come back from invincibility?

I say no. It's better to chase your opponent to where you have an advantage, there will be more opportunities to charge your needles. Also, charging needles can be a mind game to draw your opponent out.

Just a thought.

if they ledge stall and are good at it then i'm just going to charge needles at roll distance from the ledge and then start dash dancing back and forth as it looks like they're about to get up.

so the only characters i even semi-commonly do this vs is fox and marth. and well i guess sheik dittos.

Your needles are better left alone during your invincibility frames. You really can't charge all that much before you are open to attack, even then, your needles aren't a guranteed hit.

Also keep in mind that people play differently when you come back, they go into "flee" mode most of the time. Probably better just to pursue as long as you aren't being predictable.

if they are ledgestalling it'll be really easy wit invincibility to take their ledge and force them on stage.

also if u charge needles at a distance most people will run at u then jump, just store the needles smack em in the face on the way up. i get that to work on marths alot
