zair off edge + dair pretty effective use of it?
Far too situational and it won't knock them back far enough unless they are high percent or you sweetspot.
Jab/ftilt or bthrow works much better for low/mid % gimp kills.
Edit: After looking at this post, I get the idea that I didn't elaborate well enough on why jab/ftilt and bthrow are usually superior.
Even if you hit that sweetspot zair and they go flying off the stage(unless they are right at the edge, hence the situational), you still have to dash across the stage and run or sh off to nail that dair. Running off the stage generally makes you lose 1-3 seconds, more or less. That's plenty of time for them to get back on the stage or ledge.
With jab/ftilt or bthrow you're basically right there to go for the spike and those few seconds you save often mean the difference between nailing the dair or missing and thus being off the stage where they can edgeguard you.
