First of all, I'm not sure weather this is already known or not but I just found this out yesterday.

I was training with Ganon offline, practice mode, and found out that both Gerudo and aerial Gerudo have some Warlock punch like options, they could be switched around right after the direction it was directed, by smashing the control stick to the opposite direction it was directed, but only during the very first frame.

I know, it's not very useful but it could help when your tech chasing and, either mess up or Gerudo the wrong way. Having your finger right on the control stick while tech chasing would help.

About Ganon's spot dodge, I've always heard it was completely useless. But I've recently found out that it has IASA frames, like his Up-Smash, once again I don't know weather this is already known or not.

Well I also was able to do this with R.O.B.'s Gyro charge, and it was explained to me that every B move in the game is capable of doing this. I haven't actually tested in myself, though.
Are you sure that you're talking about the right thing, though?

Switching directions while the attack's already directed?

B-Reversal......... any B move can do it by quickly inputting the opposite direction.

Go try it with Lucas's Pk Fire, PK Freeze (must have momentum), Meta Knights up-B (fly the opposite way), and some down-B's (Ice Climbers)

We already knew about the gerudo reversal, and I actually use this a lot. It's deceptively fast, so most opponents won't react to it in time.

The bit about the spot dodge is great to hear. I have to try this out. I am guilty of spot dodging too much and it's a habit I need to ween, but if it turns out to be a little more useful via IASA frames, I may just embrace it.

Yeah, I side-dodge to f-tilt somewhat often.

It's called a B-reversal. You can do it with most up-B's, side-B's, and a few down-B's.
