Is your edge game getting you down? Do you feel like your character lacks those extra options? I present to you an advanced technique to give you those extra options. A technique so sexy it doesn't work for Meta Knight OR Snake!

This works for any character that can wall jump, which is:
-Captain Falcon
-Diddy Kong
-Falco
-Fox
-Lucario
-Mario
-Pikachu
-Pokemon Trainer (Squirtle only)
-Samus
-Sheik
-Sonic
-Toon Link
-Wolf
-Zero Suit Samus
How do I Perform the Instant Wall Jump?
The timing is different for every character (Captain Falcon and Sonic seem to be the most difficult). The key to performing this correctly is quickness: it should appear as if you are simply doing a backward edge hop.
Why is the Instant Wall Jump Useful?
As I mentioned earlier this technique will expand your edge options. Without this technique you are limited to the forward direction when edge hopping or a telegraphed drop > wall jump that is extremely easy to read. With this technique you now have all the options that come with facing away from the stage from the edge hop.
In a nutshell: you can do a instant wall jump B-Air with the same quickness that you can do an edge hop F-Air.
Characters like Squirtle, ZSS, and Diddy seem to get the most use of this because they can throw out multiple B-airs (or Squirtle can U-air > B-air). Another example with Diddy is that you can B-Air > Forward B, an option that doesn't even exist from the edge hop because the F-Air/B-Air don't occur high enough to pull of the Forward-B back onto the stage.

I suck with every character but Diddy Kong, so you will want to play around with the other characters to see what is useful.

How do I Perform the Instant Wall Jump?
- Drop from the edge holding down
- Do a quarter to half circle toward the stage from the down position with the control stick
- Press the jump button during this control stick rotation
- input attack and control stick direction to control air movement (you can move over the stage or away from the stage)
