Platform Canceling!!!
Alright so anyone whos seen Mr. R's or Leon's Marth has seen this more times then they can count. And I've seen Istudying use this a few times. So let's try to come up with ways this could help us out.
How to:
Platform canceling is very simple, Just tap down and then do an action when you are about level with the platform you are trying to platform cancel on. ANY action can be platform canceled. This includes turnarounds, dashes, Specials, Smashes, Jabs, Tilts, Shield, Rolls, Dodges, Jump, Short hop, Fall through (also known as shield drop i guess? you platform cancel onto the platform then immediately fall through it, plus since you use the spot dodge command to do this , which includes L or R, it has another property to it which ill explain soon)

Uses : Since you can platform cancel a roll, that means you can GLIDETOSS from a platform cancel.
You can use this to grab someone whos on a platform and expecting you to try to fair them off
You can ledgehop platform cancel and run off one side or the other to help a bit with getting back from the ledge, or platform cancel a dsmash if you think it'll hit
I'll add more uses as we think of some and will edit this post whenever we come up with some that aren't already on here. So that way we don't go checking the entire thread for what uses have already been thought of. I'm heading out for a bit but when I come back I'll add some uses I thought of (yes lol theory craft, bite me >_>)
