Pikachu Platform Jab Trick (new? AT?)

[Hoenn]

I encountered this today while playing a level 7 CPU DK. I jabbed him while on the edge of the smashville platform.
Pikachu's jab can easily cause the opponent to fall of the platform. This can lead to QAL setups.

On smashville since you can platform cancel, getting onto the platform to use the jab trick becomes easier.

You can single jab if you they are at the very edge of the platform, but you can always rapid jab them till they hit the edge then stop and let them fall. You'll have to time the final hit of the rapid jab so that they are at the very edge.

In the video I also encountered a ledge fall, but they still landed on the SV platform. The other player wasn't using any DI/SDI so it was kind of strange and I'm guessing it was caused by the platform moving, but it may be of some use.
Due to the height of the smashville platform this may not work any everybody.
On battle field its a different it should work on everybody that the IC Nair trick works on.

If seen coming in advance, and if you can't get it for whatever reason, just rapid jab since you are at the edge of the platform. You'll end up refreshing some moves, and will probably end up getting away since SDI gets them away from you and the situation resets.

There is more that isn't known about this, so please share any info on this.

I hope this is new and will improve pika's metagame
I'm sorry if this was already know, but it helps me out so I wanted to share

this reminds me a lot of the wario cg specificity. If they have to be right at the edge like that I could see a few instances where it would work but kinda like the wario cg itd be really hard to get that very specific position to come about. Nice find though, seems like if it did happen you could get a nice qal going on.

Thanks, but i'll have to add to it that rapid jabbing them and stopping when they hit the edge does the exact same thing, thus giving it better range and making it less situational.

Try having the opponent shield same set up / situation just hold shield and use shield stun to knock them off, they'll fall in a similar way.

My first tournament match after I posted this thread, I pulled it off doing it that way

This explains in more detail how the ledge mechanics work - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyFtJDxsqMs . Good idea to platform-cancel into a jab though, it's a fast way of setting this up if nothing else.
