I wanted to hear everyones opinion on this "new tech" Ive been working on. Ive tested it on a good Upstate Falcon main and it seemed to work but Im not 100% sure of it being the best optimal way for successfully edge guarding Falcon.

So I dont have a video representation since my Internet sux and is too slow to upload, therefore Ill break it down.

In its simpilest form, its a run off shine bair, may jump off of stage to cover high recovery.
Why this? Playing/watching vods of Falcons, they always do a fade back to ledgr which is a great fake out if your not ready for it.

I was thinking that at the fade or even full recovery back if where at (zone 1 = upper third, zone 2 = middle/level with stage, zone 3 = lower/bottom/sweet spot) zone 1 you could jump shine, possibly stall position permitted then bair.

For zone 2 Ive been doing a run off shine stall to bair, not too low but just enough to where I can recover back without bait killing me.

For zone 3 I usually ledge grab but if they try from lower, then jump or up b to stage instead, I shine stall nair so I can put a bit more kick if they are close to the stage. Example would be yoshis.

What do you lads think, I want to 100 percent edge guard falcon and so far this is my favorite.
Of course I can ftilt, dsmash, others but Id tather snag them when their out rather than on or close to stage.

From watching vods of Ginger and Druggedfox vs falcon I see them applying this technique all the time. Ginger is more a fan of your method, while it seems that DF likes to grab ledge.
