How do you do it? I hold onto the edge, press away, jump then press side-b. Its great for punishing a foe that is edge guarding, dealing 10%.

While I agree that your way is a good one, if you abuse it too much, your opponent is going to catch on. You need to mix it up in order to get back onto the stage successfully. Some different options:

- The one you mentioned: Surprise Diddy Hump (or Kick)
- Letting go of the ledge and doing a FAir
- Dropping into a wall cling; adds another level of unpredictability
- Ledge hop into a air dodge
-Drop from the ledge, then perform your Up B while holding down so you fly upward past the ledge instead of snapping to it

You can always tap the attack button while hanging on the ledge, too, as well as the L/R buttons. There's a bunch of different ways to go about recovering.

IF the enemy is right above me I usually drop of the ledge jump and U-air and hang on the ledge again but you have to mix up alot of tactics so you don't get predictable.

against scrubs, i only use the 3 basic moves to get off the ledge: attack, roll, or jump.

against better players, i mix in drop-SH-fair. or drop-SH-diddyhump.

A technique I've found somewhat useful is Diddy Humping torward the stage then, Barrel Blasting to the ledge, which will either damage them or get you to the ledge.
