I do this sometimes. Hit them with your face, from a short hop usually. Anyone think this works well?

its a good thing. I usually use it to edge guard as well, or to get good horizontal recov, or to approach enemy from a certain distance, and to finish off a WoP once in a while

The little forward thrust you get can catch your opponent off-guard once or twice, but I don't recommend overusing this; the range isn't too good.

^.^ thinking out-side the box is good.

It can be useful >_> specially blocking edge-guarders XD

yea and if u know some1 is gonna try to roll around u approach them with it. That way it wont leave them anywhere to move so u can hit them from ur front or back. Its also good if ur in btween ICs that are separated - can help u keep them that way.

its a good way to cover distance and hit some1 at the same time when they are comin back.

Cheerleading Practice...
Generally speaking, if you do it to your opponent when you are above them [especially if they are recovering] it greatly limits the options which the have to UpB.

I have so much fun with this I just end up spamming it for fun, even as a taunt I'll just B-air, turn, B-air, turn, B-air. Haha. Adds more to R.O.B.'s secret taunts, like his jump-for-joy taunt.
Anyway, try this combo out: Dash Attack > F-air > B-air (headbutt) > Jab > Grab > toss 'em off the side for an edgeguard.
They can defend between the F-air and B-air, I think, but if you catch them with it, it's loads of fun.
