cping you to Mute at a MDZ tourney
As we all know, Ledgeguarding is one of the more important skills for a falco player. He has his dair, bair, d/fsmash, lazers, and countless other tools to help him keep his opponent off the stage and dead. My old method of grabbing the ledge was over-b to the ledge, but I missed the sweetspot a lot and that led to ineffective ledgeguards. Now, I've been using Shine-turnaround-jc-firebird ledgegrab. MattDotZeb, the local falco guru, claims the PC ledgegrab is the most effective, and I agree with him, at least to the extent that it beats shine firebird ledgegrab.
So lately, I've been experimenting with better, quicker ways to grab the ledge. So far, what I've found useful is roll to ledge-forward dash-wd back to the ledge, and ledgecanceled rshl to ledgegrab.
The real question is, what is the fastest way to grab the ledge when coming from across the stage?
Thoughts? Questions? World views?

you can WD to the ledge wehn facing forward and very gently press the control stick to turn around while still keeping your momentum, or you could just do wave dash forward turn around (doesnt matter if you stop, then WD back again
