What's the best way to work around landing lag?

Too many times i've went for a jump/trying to land after getting launched, just for me to be scooped up into the loving arms of a Fox's up-smash, getting my dodge baited, or getting stuck on a platform.

Ledge grabbing seems to work about half the time, while the other half I'm thinking, "Where did my invincibility frames go?"

Whats the best way to land without getting punished? :ness:

Air stall magnet, b reverse magnet, defensive aerial PK fire, autocanceling your landing with dair, and fading in for an aerial on shield are all decent options.

A few riskier options would be a surprise PK thunder (it air stalls you, so they might whiff, then you punish) or airdodge away or even in.
