Just as a disclaimer, this appears to be fairly situational. As far as I know, it can be done on all stages, but on all except for two or three, it's not practical. Also, I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere after trying to find it, so I don't think it's been discovered already. I've seen similar ones (namely one that involved dropping of the ledge, then air dodging onto the stage), but none that are the same as this.
While I was in training earlier, I noticed that I had done something that looked like wavelanding. After a while, I was able to find out how it happened and redo it in a match to upload. The quality isn't the greatest since I don't have a capture card, and it's too big to embed (unfamiliar with limitations on embedding here, but it wasn't showing up in preview), so here's a direct link to the gfy: http://gfycat.com/BrownGlamorousAmazondolphin
I dashed after getting up in the gfy, but you can do any other ground option out of it.
To do it, you tilt the stick back lightly to let go of the ledge without moving backwards at all, then immediately mash the stick towards the stage and jump. I ran through the roster and wasn't able to do it with anyone else, including Lucina, but there's a chance other characters can do it (a Duck Hunt main told me he definitely had it happen to him, and Lucina seems like she should be able to do it). After I went through the characters, I tested the rest of the legal stages, and I wasn't able to get it to reliably work on any stage except Smashville and BF. I couldn't do it on the one-sided platforms in Delfino, Halberd, or Skyloft, although stages with a wall extending to the lower blast zone seem to be possible if the jump is done lower than on BF -- I was able to do it on Duck Hunt by falling farther than usual.
Here's the full video of my attempts, for anyone curious (gfy part starts at 1:07; this was right after finding out how to do it):
tl;dr: Marth can do something similar to wavelanding when hanging on the ledge, but it's harder to perform.
