When you are hit in smash bros, you enter hitstun, then the tumble state. You can tech out of tumble, but I almost always throw out a move, or airdodge so I don't have to tech, and I land with little lag. This is generally when I am hit with little knockback onstage. Is this a bad idea?

I do that very same thing, which is air dodge, no attacking. I try not to get into a situation where I must tech 'cause here in Sm4sh it's very easy to miss a tech. I prefer to midair jump if at all possible.

Yeah...not always a great idea to air dodge during tumbling since y'all suffer **** landing lag if you were near ground level. Some aerial attacks can work if their landing recovery is good (i.e. :4link:'s n-air, :4falcon:'s up-air, etc.). Hey, even if y'all miss the tech, what's it matter if the opponent has knocked you too far to capitalize on it?

MK's fair landing lag is almost nonexistant, and is a good spacing tool, so it is a good landing option in my opinion.

U should not just throw out moves and jumps, though. Exspiccilly air dodge. Because if u have landing lag u can get heavily punished. As for MK f-air it can be baited and punished for example.... An ike lands a d-tilt which pops u up in the air. Now say u have been throwing out f-air whenever u are hit, the ike might (should have) noticed that that is your main habit so... they can dash forward slightly and shield the f-air. Then shield grab and get a guaranteed 20%. OR could perfect pivot f-smash which will beat out your f-air because it has a big disjoint and TONS of priority.
