First, i'd like you all to watch roughly 2:38 to 2:44 in this video

See the tether ledge cancel into the instant jump + nair? I figured out how to do it 100% of the time. I'm not sure if anyone else figured it out, but I never see anyone use it purposely and it seems like it can be a very good addition to our character to throw it out now and then.
You basically do the tether ledge cancel, and if you hold directly towards the stage and hit your A button right after you hear the pikmin grab the edge (not the sound of the chain, but the part where it actually latches the edge), it will immediately bring you to the stage and do a full hop, and since you touch the stage during this you get your double jump back as well. I used this last weekend during a tournament and got an extremely quick fair out of it, it's really quick and surprising.
The other thing I was thinking...you know how marth lets go of the edge and fairs through the stage? Why don't we do it? The yellow pikmin goes as far as the tip of the green arrow on FD (assuming no texture). We always drop down and do the uair plank, why not throw out the fair sometimes to get them away from you? It's pretty useful imo with the right color pikmin
