I looked through a bunch of threads and didn't find anything about this, so I decided to post it.
I'm not sure if anyone knows about this already, but I'll post it anyway.
I call it: Aerial Cape Extension (ACE).
While I was messing around in Stage Builder mode I started doing random cape things with Mario during a stage test. I found that it is possible to shoot yourself off of the edge while using your cape, giving it uncanny range.
You do it by running at the edge and using the cape just as you are about to leave the ground. The game lets you keep all of your momentum momentarily while you swing your cape. You can follow this up with a fair and still be able to recover, or jump backwards and shoot a fireball towards your victim before grabbing the edge, etc. The possibilities are endless.
The timing is very hard, but I expect one should be able to master it over time. I'm not sure what the best timing is, but something tells me that, ideally, you should try to press B on the last possible frame before you leave the ground.
It seems very situational, and possibly punishable, but it can be good for a surprise, and there is little risk to SD as you can recover with only your midair jump.
This technique doesn't just have to be used for edgeguarding, though, or else I would name it Aerial Cape Edgeguard. I haven't done much experimenting, but I've found that you can use it to cross the left and right platforms on Battlefield lickety-split.
If everyone already knows about this, I'm sorry for wasting your time.
