I was playing around in friendlies yesterday and noticed a little trick that might come in handy.

Basically, if you side-B right as you're landing on a platform or the stage, the slight stall plus Phantasm's aerial startup animation make it look very, very similar to landing on the platform until Phantasm's attack starts.

I don't think this little tech is useful as anything more than a mind game, but I thought I'd post it anyways. Coming back from slightly offstage, you could use this to cross up people who are trying to punish your landing; even if they get their shield up in time, they'll have a very hard time punishing you.
