Well for one, press down+b to bring any purples to the front. They tend to knock people off the edge if they're edgehogging.

Don't be predicable, either. As soon as you're in range, people tend to recover to prolong their invincibility frames. Wait just a lil' longer then grab the edge then use up+b to grab the edge.

If someone tries to attack you off-stage, press down+b to Whistle. Being hit while whistling still damages you, but you don't get knocked away, and you can either counter, footstool jump off their heads, or continue to recover.

don't double jump (onstage and midbattle) unless you're sure an attack will hit.

That should be expected, seeing how his recovery is crap.. :p

Consider your 2nd jump your recovery, and be extremely careful of when you use it. Don't use it if there's stage beneath you. You can throw purples or do an aerial to knock them off if you must get the ledge. Or as a last resort, stage spike, like i did at 2:15 in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_sxZsAKiXUE
