I am not claiming to discovering an AT or anything because I am sure many of you have noticed/performed this before or most likely well known fact, but I do not see anyone abusing this. I also couldn't use a search function to see if this has been discussed before since I don't know its name, so I will refer to this as Platform Canceling. I guess this is like the DASC, but I want to discuss other intentions/viability.
Pretty much what Platform Canceling is, is performing an aerial above a platform (or ledge, depending how you want to use it) and touching the very edge of the platform so your horizontal momentum will carry you off the ledge and canceling its animation so you can perform another aerial. I see this as a useful AT because it can be used to extend the length of the hitbox of whatever move(s) you are trying to use to create a longer lasting "wall"... or it can be used to mindgame, as if you are trying to portray you whiffed an aerial then you bait your opponent into another aerial of some sort.
I am not big into testing, so I tested very little about this. Hell, I only tested under a handful of characters and only tested Bairs. But as far as Bairs go (to create sort of a wall in this case) I have noticed a couple characters who benefit well from this are DK and Ness since they have very meaty Bairs.
I am sure there are a ton more variations and other possibilities other than just double Bair... but meh.
If this has already been discussed, please shoot me in the face and lock this thread.
