Names were generally first-come-first-serve, and this was found in the very beginning of Brawl's lifespan.
Also cuz we then have an AT that we can say like raaawr
This is so good I can't even.
Did more testing, not done yet but some things worth noting:
Shield pushback is pretty significant, but you cannot be pushed off of an edge if you are currently shielding. If you drop your shield while you're still being pushed a good bit from a shielded attack (generally speaking, only by a strong attack), you'll fall off.
Whether or not you slide off an edge after blocking a strong hit depends on what you buffer OoS. If you buffer a grab, jump, or certain specials you will slide off. Buffering other things or waiting a bit for the momentum to weaken will prevent you from sliding off.
(dash) > (Dash Grab) > (Pivot Grab) > + > = a farther slide which you may not actually not want. If you don't slide far is can actually be used reach farther than your standing grab because of the increased range of pivot grab. I think teh most notable example of this is Donkey Kong. He has a poor standing grab compared to his amazing Pivot Grab range.(dash) > (this substitutes ) + (Pivot Grab) > + instead of simply + 
Appreciate the answers everyone (forgot how to multi quote lol). After you all explained it, it definitely makes sense as to why I would tend to fall off edges. Also, I agree with you and Shaya; I believe that shield stun is definitely shorter in this game as compared to Brawl.
I don't think this is true. From what I can tell (I just started testing this out) shieldstun is the same as it was in Brawl.
The main reason for most people is for more consistent control of you aerial attacks. With it set to Smash Attacks you have to flick the C-stick in like 1 or 2 frames of precision to be able to FF it or have control which direction you move while doing it (like retreating Fairs, for example). While with it set to Standard Attacks you can do attacks in the air with it just like in past games.
hey, thank you. sometimes when doing an aerial , I will accidentally Nair, while using the c stick. how is that possible ?
When you hit it diagonally while it is set to Standard Attacks you will end up doing a Nair/Jab. That's the only way I know how to do Nairs/Jabs with the C-stick.
Also can happen Diagonally with Smash set
You need a move that can trade with the up b or just learn the timing of each up b to trump to a follow up. You can even trump then get back on the stage to prevent you're opponent from getting on stage to avoid being hit, but punish them for grabbing the ledge since ledge invicibility has been removed from a 2nd ledge grab.
There is no Frame difference over 100% in this game. I heard there's less invincibilty as your percent scales up but i haven't tested/noticed it first hand.
It's called an 'edge cancel'. Look it up in the smash dictionary.
Yes
Footstools are funny, if you Buffer a Footstool it will always be a Short hop footstool (Unless your opponent is doing an action that uninterruptible with a footstool, which always forces a full hop.) Even if you are holding the jump buttonI don't know if this was the case in Brawl, but footstools appear to have their own special buffering property that makes a Jump command cause you to footstool an opponent if they get in range up to 10 frames after you initially pressed Jump. This is completely unaffected by whether or not you have your mid-air jump(s) or whether or not you're pressing it during the cooldown of any other air command you can buffer another move after (this basically just means you can't buffer a footstool out of a Ledge Jump) You can't footstool anyone until the IASA frame of the current command, of course. It also doesn't seem to have a "fail" window and doesn't care if you're already holding a Jump command when you press Jump.
tl;dr--If your character is capable of footstooling someone within 10 frames of pressing Jump, you will do it, and as soon as possible. If you press a Jump command every 10 frames or faster, anyone that gets in range of your potential footstool will be footstooled on the frame they get in range as long as you keep pressing Jump repeatedly.
This could be a big deal for punishing people who consistently airdodge under the ledge before sweetspotting Up-B, since even if some airdodges only have two frames of vulnerability, this will catch it as long as you're in range during those frames.Apparently, airdodges are among the "unfootstoolable" commands, so if the opponent buffers via Attack or Special afterward, they can't be footstooled.
Still, since Ledge Jumps don't allow people to buffer commands out of them, this makes footstools a fine choice for punishing Ledge Jumps as characters with momentum-shifting moves. For example, Ganondorf can Down-B immediately afterward. This actually makes for a great way to cover multiple ledge options, as footstool -> Down-B beats Ledge Jump, and the low double-jump that happens when you're not in range lets you avoid Ledge Attack and punish both Ledge Attack and Ledge Climb (and, likely, a ledge hopped aerial for a spike KO!) if you're timing it to hit a Ledge Climb.
