You all already know about jab jab to falcon dive it works the best at bigger targets and its a average mix up , the grounded version of FD has incredible range it can be a really good option against an unaware opponent (most likely characters with average speed) besides it negates some aerials because of its command grab priority, give it a try , like falcon itself its a high risk high reward option at your disposal

It doesn't negate aerial because of its priority, but because of its range. The difference is important because trading with any attacks will make the grab break, as opposed to Melee or Brawl where the Falcon Dive would always win thanks to grab armor.

Aside from that I find Falcon Dive is a good option in 2 scenarios : out of shield and before landing.
Out of shield you can use a reverse up B to get people that try to cross up over your shield.
Before landing because once you've conditioned people with falling Uairs and Nairs they will shield when you approach from a short hop and it will be a free up B.
