New Edgeguarding Technique

[Velox]

I have a technique I've been thinking about, just wanted to throw it out there and see if people think it's practical enough/useful enough for me to waste the time putting it into my game...

You wavedash backwards off the stage and immediately b-air as you fall off the stage. What happens is you won't grab the stage, because you're b-airing. Why is this better than the d-smash or d-air? Because it reaches much further out and below the stage. It's still a theory, I just thought it up, with practice it can be done consistently. I don't exactly know who's recovery this would work well against though... seeing that you put yourself in a position to get hit by your opponent's up + 'B', but it would have an easier time hitting sweetspotters than say the d-air/d-smash. And yes, you can make it back onto the ledge if you immediately double jump and then up + 'B', however, you will have to grab onto the ledge... which means if you missed your opponent and they're grabbing it you're dead...


Oh, btw, don't be like, "zomg this is sooo old!!!!11!!!11 Noob!11!!!", because that is stupid. I've never seen this in a Falco video in all my days, at least not to edgeguard with, people use it to combo and such though, but even then that's when they run off the ledge, not wavedash back. It's not like I even care about credit for this technique anyways... I could seriously care less.

that actually seems pretty cool but maybe a little risky.
i'll work with that a bit today i think.
if it does work it'll really screw up a falcon's recovery

I think Falco's recovery is too ****ty to make me want to attempt this.

What's so good? It's just a ledge dropped kick it isn't new, some people do this all the time

with fox i sometimes waveshine my opponent off the edge and i slide off the edge and bair out of it. Only at high damage though. And rarely.

I have seen alot of Fox players do this. I think the reason for this is because Fox recovery doesnt suck, like Falcos.

I've seen isai actually do this a lot with falcon however I feel like for some reason his momentum carries him further.

Only problem with this is if you think there sweetspotting isn't it easier to probably just edgehog, not trying to discount this idea but just seems like alot of work for Falco to time and return from when you can do other easier/safer techniques

lol... that's a very good point...

Falco's recovery isn't good enough to risk it, IMO.

Rising bair is much safer.
