As the title says, I find Waterfall kinda of useful for gimping :p.

Basically, What you do is when your oppenent is under the ledge, you use Waterfall from above to stun them and quickly ledge cancel it. It will hopefully waste their DJ and or recovery, plus stun them causing them to go lower a little. It also turns them around facing away from the ledge. Quite useful for gimping people like Ike or Fox on FD.

It may be quite situational, just like to share it with you.

Interesting, I have to try this out. Although I'd be scared to be punished if the enemy get's up from the ledge and you're still "helpless".

Can you also turn around with it and it still hurts the enemy? Might be useful on battlefield so that you can land on the platform so that you can't be punished.

I can't remember what stage it was, but I've gotten caught beneath the lip of the stage waterfalling, and my opponent was stuck in the hitbox. Then at the end, I DI'd and grabbed the ledge, and they fell to their death. Might be useful.
