Instant turn around from falling off a platform

Hi !
I was trying to get the hang of b-reversing my shadow ball when I found a tech that to my knowledge, has not been discovered yet.
Basically, it allows you to get down from the edge of a platform while instantly turning around and throwing a special.
It should works with most of the cast with a projectile neutral-b (I've tried link's bow, mario's fireball...)
By the way, it's impossible to do so just by quicly flicking the stick (without a neutral b), so it offers you some more movement freedom.
It's performed quite easily, you run to the edge of a platform, as soon as your character starts falling from it you quickly flick the analog stick in the opposite direction and then press b.
Kinda the opposite of b-reversing as while performing those you gotta press b, then flick the analog stick.

I can see a good amount of uses to this tech, especially when getting off of platform pressure can get really tricky in this game.

Anyway, here's a video of me performing it in a match (Sorry for the bad quality, and yes I got freaking tagged in a 1v1 item and ****ty map :( )


Let me know if this isn't anything new, and if it is let's try together to find some good usage of this tech !

I can remember some situations in Smash 4 where I did this. I still think it’s pretty cool.
