what is an Fsmash cancel? i heard its when you use marth, and cancel your Fsmash so you can use your fsmash as fast as pichu can jab. Does this make marth cheap?
the only way ur fsmash would cancel is if u used it to hit a projectile such as a samus' missle, but otherwise, its too slow to cancel projectiles, and u can easily use ftilt or neutral a to swipe away projectiles that are in the way. and to my own experience, (which is a lot) i have never heard of such thing of a marth's fsmash being as fast as pichu's jab. also i main marth, so this is nearly 99.9% NOT true. maybe using action replay or some sort of cheat could allow this to happen, otherwise, i doubt it.
JesiahTEG how would you use marth to verse link? Link has a shorter sword but he also has that second sword swipe. The biggest thing Link has over marth is the projectiles? So what techniques would you use against Link?
stay close to link, and use a lot of fair, nair, and grabs to overcome him with speed. easy combos such as uthrow to utilt a few times to any aerial u want after to fsmash can do the trick starting at low percentages. u dont have to worry about his second swipe, since u can just hold ur shield or roll away that second swipe. arrows and boomerags are easily swiped away using ur ftilt as u just walk towards him, bombs can be catched by pressing a before it hits u when ur standing on the ground, or z when ur in the air. if ur too scared to catch bombs, then just roll away from them. link should be a somewhat easy game, as long as u stay on him and dont give him any breathing room, and keep him on the tip of ur sword, so ur out of his range, but hes still in ur range, if he gets any closer, u can easily grab him.
Someone please tell me what wavedashing really is? I hear it so much on the forums. Is it just running towards your oppenent and jumping and then quickly pressing L or R so you can get some space and then get a quick smash attack in or what? Help please!

this link is a sticky thread in the melee discussion forum, it explains about what wavedashing is, and many other terms u might question in the future, try looking there first, and if it isnt there, then u should ask here, but im sure nearly all terms are there anyway.
How do you do an aerial from a edgehang? I see people do it in vids but when I try to do it I do some weird edgejump that doesn't allow me to do any aerials.
well, it depends on what character u are using, certain characters are much harder to ledgehop attack from, while other characters are much easier, characters such as falco and fox seem easy to me, while characters like roy, is pretty hard. and some like ganon, who are only limited to certain aerials, since they are way too slow or lack height of their second jump to even perform laggy aerials, however, ganon can do uair from ledgehop.
what u really want to do is press down or away from the ledge, SLIGHTLY, therefore u wont fast fall and lose a lot of precious height, and after doing that, ur character will let go of the ledge, quickly after, u need to press jump, then the aerial attack wanted, then DI ur self towards the stage by holding that direction while ur aerial is being performed. ledgehop fair aerials are much easier than any other aerials, since ur holding forward anyway, and ur DI'ing and doing ur aerial at the same time.
