Yes, I'm new around here. But I didn't come to this forum for introductions, I came here to share the goods. 
So I believe everyone around here knows about Fox's deadly fair to footstool combo. However, what I just found out is a crazy setup leading into it. Behold:

Essentially, if you get a jab near the ledge and go into your rapid jabs, both characters fall off the stage (unless you hold the rapid jabs for longer than usual). This had happened to me a couple of times in tournament sets, and it used to annoy me. However, what I just realized is, since you fall right alongside your opponent, this could possibly lead to a footstool combo.
So I tried testing this out today and actually struggled at first because the CPU on training mode always jumps as fast as possible when offstage and would escape the combo almost every time - that led me to believe that this wasn't a guaranteed combo. However, when I tried slowing the game down to 1/4 speed and tried to get the timing on the fair perfectly, I could actually do it before the CPU could do anything.
So yes, this is 100% absolutely a true combo, that is if you're frame perfect - and if you're not, well, it's still most likely going to work more often than not because in order to escape it, your opponent would have to be frame perfect as well. I just thought this was a cool find and though it is situational, it can be extremely deadly as it's essentially a 2 frame 0-to-death.
And if this combo was already common knowledge, well, I'm sorry, I guess... and disappointed too.
