Useful edge techniques

This isn't really a Snake specific technique but I think its most usefull for Snake. Some people may be doing this already but I haven't seen it in any videos so far.

As an alternative to the standard ways to recover from the edge (jump, roll, ledge attack) you can press back to drop from the edge then simultaneously jump and attack back up onto the edge (This isn't new! Who does AlAxe think he is?!). The problem with snake though is he has a very large startup time on his fair which would make this technique very easily punishable. By using the c-stick though, which should be set to smash for Snake, it is possible to DI away from the stage then jump while simultaneosly DIing toward the stage and pressing down on the c-stick to catch your opponent in a dair. If your opponent is fairly close you can get them with the last three stomps dealing 22-23% with lots of knockback. This can also be done with bair and uair which come out pretty quick, but which can't threaten as much area. I'm fairly sure you can even Lcancel the uair if you do it right. When I was testing this out I had R set to jump so I could jump and use the c-stick quicker.
