Handy tip for getting back onto the stage from a ledge

For my very first post in the Smash Boards community, I wanted to offer a tip for getting back onto the stage when you're stuck on the ledge and your opponent is standing over you.

Not many people think of this, but pressing Down to drop off the ledge and then immediately jumping back onto the ledge will confuse all but the most vigilant of opponents. Usually they will expect you to attack, roll, or jump onto the stage from the ledge, but if you drop down, they might act out of haste and give you an opportunity to punish them.

One disclaimer is that I believe you lose your ledge invincibility by doing this tactic, so be wary of people who can attack you from the ledge. Usually they will not capitalize on your vulnerability due to the infrequent nature of these maneuvers, so it's usually a safe approach.

Anyway that's my contribution, hopefully I'll become a regular on Smash Boards. Thanks.
