Sorry for the bad quality, but I think both of these tools can help DK land, which I definitely find to be one of DK's bigger weaknesses. Not only does this help DK land, but following up these ledge-cancels with a falling aerial or jump back aerial (if they are on the platform and you have just air dodged their move).

Maximum Swag Potential: *opponent is under the left BF platform. you are coming down for the top platform.*
Jump off top platform holding left (as I do in the video) > Reverse Aerial Hand Slap to reverse momentum and cancel on the right side of the platform (as I do in the video) > Reverse Punch (what I should've done in the video)

This is actually useful, really good way to get off the top platform of BF.
Good stuff

Hmmm, I think there was already a thread on this a long time ago for aerial Down B. I'm also pretty sure air dodge landings being edge cancelable was also old info. IIRC you can only edge cancel them while facing the edge. Good job finding it on your own though and finding ways to make it useful.
