MK is the king of edge guarding. And many people learned how to expect and avoid a shuttle loop edge guard etc.
What are some mind games to incorporate into tricking your opponent?
'What stages are best suited for gimping easier?

some good players come down with attacks such as a lucario who positions himself for ur ub B which his DAIR eats!

so wait use a jump or 2 and string up airs with shuttleloops.

baiting airdodges and dont forget to surprise with Bair its duration can beat some airdodges and surprising knockback.

mk dair = king of edge guard

^ yeah that pretty much says it all, MK's D air is god.. lolz
Sure, if your opponent is to the side, or below you. If your opponent is above you, can't D-air then.
I'm mostly looking how to edge guard someone when they are recovering high from above.

Maybe an Up-air would trick them that your going to keep stringing the Up-airs together, but instead of stringing them together use 1 or 2 up-airs, then immediately shuttle loop.

Or sometimes if they recover up very high, I use jumps, then they usually air dodge which gets me to use tornado, great for countering dodges with is attack range, controllable movement, and multi hit attacks. Then from there they are caught inside the rising tornado as it Star KO's my opponent.
Anymore strategies?

If they are above you jump into them and use nair, if you hit them offstage with this it will most likely kill if it's fresh and they have a decent amount of damage.

use uair and start juggling them, when they come back at the stage from above (after the uairs)
