Is up-b a viable edgeguarding strategy vs snake?

Since the descent of dedede's up b is stopped by snakes little copter, do you think its a viable option to look out for when edgeguarding snake, or is it more of a luck/rare situation thing...

It's hella situational. I've seen Snake spiked out of his upB by Dedede's upB once (maybe twice) and I have never replicated the results despite racking up hundreds of matches against my doubles partners' Snake.

this has a certain moment or posicion at Snake's UP - b , or it is really situational.?

there is a way to make this something " consistent" ?(something that can be done with the suficient amount of skill when u want)

- PS: my english is not that good I am from Puerto Rico where the main language is spanish

Way too risky and situational for my tastes. I'd rather just chase them off stage using traditional methods, such as back air or forward air wall of pains. The only time I ever use Up B as an edge gaurd are against Lucas and Ness to steal their thunder.

Maybe you can use it after the normal gimp near the edge, so that you can recover if you dont hit him. ^^

It's situational, but something like Grab release -> Snake C4ing -> UpB -> Snake UpB -> profit, would be cool. :)
