I'm having trouble edge guarding against low recoveries. Whenever someone goes high I simply jump out and fair. When they go low though, the fair is not as easy of an option. This is usually a problem with someone like marth/ike/mario, who have very vertical recoveries, and can easily drop low before using their up-b.
On these recoveries, I often jump out and go for dair, since it's very easy to intercept their recovery. The dair ends in one of two ways. If the last hit of dair pops them up away from the stage, then I get a free fair (and a kill), but if the last hit pops them up towards the stage then they often get back onto the stage for free.
My alternative to that for low recoveries is to just go for the on stage dash attack. This generally works if I time it right and they don't sweet spot, but this feels somewhat situational. They have to miss their sweet spot, and I have to get the dash attack hitbox out just as they're making it to the edge.
Is there anything I'm missing against low recoveries? Are there any ways of controlling which direction they go out of the dair or are there any other options that I'm missing completely? Thanks.
