How to turn around mid air to shoot charge shot?

[Valar Morghulis]

I do this occasionally on accident but I've seen it used by other players intentionally and was wondering how to do this on command. Is there a term for this? Also, if you don't know what I'm talking about, here is a video of Duck doing it on accident too: https://youtu.be/05Wl6l7-l_I?t=7m54s

He wanted to shoot it at falcon and probably would have, but somehow turned around during the ledge hop and fired the charge shot in the wrong direction

There's 2 ways to turn around your neutral B. (I'm pretty sure it's just called a B turnaround)
Option 1: Flick the control stick the opposite way you're facing, quickly return the stick to neutral and then fire the charge shot

Option 2: Slightly hold the control stick the opposite way you're facing, as in this diagram: http://imgur.com/a/2na5b#6 and fire the charge shot

In that specific situation it's hard to tell which one Duck did, but I'm guessing he flicked away to let go of the ledge and then because he shot the charge shot shortly after it got turned around, so I'd guess he accidentally input Option 1.

You'll want to look up B-Reversing, Reverse-B, and Wavebounce.
Then add them to your play.

Wrong boards.

Wavebouncing isn't part of melee

But yeah, Melee reads the last momentum that you inputted on your character to decide which way a neutral be will face. This isn't very obvious with Samus due to her low air mobility. What happened to Duck is he held back to get off ledge for too long, and it registered as a ledge release and then also registered the leftward momentum. C-stick to release ledge is more consistent for that kind of thing, but you can also just slam the stick the way you want first and be fine too.

s/o to goomy for those diagrams. Been searching for them for some time.
