I am by no means a weegee expert, and I searched but didn't find anything, so here goes. If you ledgehop a fireball, and shoot it into the stage, you can get the fireball to bounce off at strange angles. Yeah, if you were wondering, the only reason I made this thread was because I got a lolfireballbounceedgeguardtodair :)

On FD, I can get it to bounce in every direction imaginable o_o;
On BF, I can get it to bounce straight up, backwards, and downwards.
On Yoshi, I can get it to bounce up, backwards, diagonally upwards towards the stage (yeah into the slant) and diagonally down away from the stage.
On SV, I can get it to bounce straight up, backwards, and downwards.
On Lylat, I suicided. Up, down, backwards, and some weird directions under the stage.

Yeah, I had fun messing with this.

The Fireball is susceptible to bouncing on even the slightest on edges.

FD has a weird edge... SO I can probably imagine it. If you can zoom up close enough (Read: Unrestricted Pause Camera) it's sort of rounded. So yeah.

I am looking more into how that fireball works, i think with enough practice, a good luigi might be able to angle the fireball at will to defend and to combo.

I lol'd at that. Aim the fireball towards the stages, hope it hits and it's a sexy hit stun, and if their slowly below/behind you, hope for that Dair spikes like a mofo! xD

The down seems useful, i suppose the up could be linked could be linked to a get-up attack, the side would be more consistent with a b-reversal fireball, but bouncing it would make an easier setup for a bair.
