What are some good dash attack uses? Would dash attacking right above the ledge be a good ledge guard?

when spacies are trying to sweetspot the ledge while recovering from above the stage, dash attack can cover most of the angles, and then subsequently set you up for a free followup most of the time (dsmash, dair, nair) .

Dash attack is also good when your opponent is in shield. depending on the character, if you know that they are going attempt to aerial OOS or wavedash OOS, you can clip them with dash attack while they are still in the jumping animation before anything comes out. This is all or nothing though because if you straight up hit their shield with a dash attack you'll eat a hard punish.

when comboing characters that float a lot, there are certain percents where dash attack can combo very well into other moves after a hit confirm.

when comboing fast fallers, you can use dash attack to interrupt the timing of their techs. since this game punishes people for mistiming their techs, you can dash attack at certain points in the combo to throw their timing off and put them on the ground to potentially get a followup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jeNFmmf6Kk

Spacies you can dash attack shine around 65-80 easy. Then dash attack up tilt from 90-105 or so. From 80-120 dash attack fsmash is pretty much free unless the opponent DIs it down and away so they fly pretty much horizontally.

Like orvs mentioned, its pretty much a free hit confirm on certain characters after you land it at mid-high-ish percents.

secret falco trick #2934 is laser hitconfirm -> dash attack approach, near the edge, into fullhop or instant dj down air for a spike off the stage. works on falcon, falco, fox, sheik at any percent.
