So whenever I WD --> edgehog, Nana jumps of the edge and kills herself. How do I tell Nana to stop being so emo? Thanks guys.

This once cost me a tournament set and it used to happen fairly often, so I started doing a desynch blizzard before the edgehog.

It's hard to predict what Nana is going to do. If she jumps off, you could up+b cancel onto the ledge to keep her in the air, but you might not have time for that. Usually I wait until right before my opponent would grab the ledge, then wavedash fastfall edgehog.

Never happens to me, are you de-synching before the wavedash? If Nana is De-synched she should remain on the stage long enough for you to block the opponent's recovery and climb back up.

i usually just wait until a few moments before they up b and if she happens to miss the stage i can up b to save her, even so my nana just jumps back up, maybe you are holding back or something for too long causing her to get too far out?

I'll experiment with some different techniques. Maybe I'm just holding the control stick too long or something. I'll also try the blizz desync --> WD edgehog. It could also be that I'm edge-hogging too early and therefore giving Nana too much time to think suicidal thoughts.
