Oh btw guys, I figured since Im housed here more than i am in my own characters socials, I figured i should pay my rent (i.e: help the metagame) so here goes my attempt at helping with someone i figured out while ****ing around in training mode:
*insert epic banner and **** here*
So anyway, You're on the ledge, Youve got plenty of planking options from there, U-air, arrows, the lot. But you want to get back on the stage now so you can do some significant damage...but you're being pressured something chronic by a pesky MK! what ever will you do! after all, pits getup options from the ledge certainly aren't the best. Well here i welcome you to a new AT and a new option for pit!
*drumroll*
The Rage-king-wind-push! or
The flatuent-angel! or
The G~P-is-the-best-pit-in-the-UK-AT!
okay jokes aside, I have no idea what to call it. But it seem usefull and i havent seen it used so Im going to be up for name suggestions unless i find its already been done
Anyway, Here's the deal, What it does is it windpushes an opponent (you can probably guess how) and gives you the chance to act while the windpush is still pushing (if timed right) to create a very good GTFO from the ledge and to give you a bit of space to do whatever.
How to perform this:
1. Ledgejump at the earliest possible interval-The actual programmed ledgejump, not dropping and then using a second jump. doing this as early as possible gives you 5 invincibility frames to perform step 2 (

PLEASE bear in mind you only get this invincibility with the <100% ledgejump, >100% has no abusable inviniciility on it. You can still do it, but its just more risky.
2. Up-b at the earliest possible interval- You can sorta achieve this by mashing. But it's better to learn the timing. This will give you a windpush against an opponent pressuring your attempt at a ledge getup. BUT you won't get hit untill after the windpush if you do it correctly, because (as stated in step 1) performing this correctly gives you 5 frames of invincibility leftover from the ledge. Which is JUST enough to cover the vulnerable startup of aerial up-B. So there is your windpush.
You can also hit back after you do Up-b and retreat right back to the ledge, but thats a waste of a tool better saved for more offensive attempts that could well catch an opponent off guard.
3. Hit down on the C-stick (or down+a, but i find cstick easier) ASAP- This is to transition you from being in the wings along to the floor to being in the standing position as soon as possible. What this does is makes you start performing a Fastfall D-air, But (if youve done it right) you hit the ground instantly during the autocancel frames at the very start of D-air with only 2 frames of landing lag (which you have as a minimum every time you hit the floor unless doing a zair or glide attack, in which case its 0 frames)
Try to avoid mashing, Because it jut means you'll get a Dsmash coming out. And you dont really want that unless you KNOW its going to hit because...yknow...ending lag
doing this correctly Leaves you on the ground in a position to do anything you want to an opponent that (while able to move themselves, mind you) is STILL being windpushed by the initial animation! or they could well have already attempted to hit you with their own invincible move and are now in a position to get hit (MK's shuttle loop comes to mind)
So, now youre on the ground, with a small amount of space and an opponent in a variable scenario. what do?
4.???
5.PROFIT!
Essentially, react and punish, It can be used to grab and start any pit Fthrow shenanigans if the opponent recently respawned. It can be used to land a jab to Damage rack. A dtilt to punish a short ranged attack or to poke at a shielding opponent. A Dash attack/Side-B to punish a long ranged attempt (This is for you Loz, Who seems to enjoy getting slapped off the edge by Ikes Ftilt). An Up-b To windpush even further with more invincibility. A Down-B to nullify any extra incoming attacks. Even an Fsmash to get a sneaky kill in on a highly damaged opponent. Ive only discovered this a few hours ago so It's completely up to creativity.
Once I get my capture card up and running I'll get a video of what it should look like on youtube
Anyway, have fun giving it a go yourself! now dont say i dont help you none :B
