In don't know if anyone has discovered this yet, but I figured I should put it out here anyway. If you have time please give this a try and let me know if you can do it. Unfortunately, I have no way to record right now, let alone upload a video.
Ok, I found some cool things with falcon today when I was playing by myself. So I found a way to instantly pivot on a ledge consistently. Here is how to do just that. While you are dash dancing with falcon and when he pivots to run the opposite direction, he is in a moon-walking position. In order to run off an edge and pivot at the same time, you must hit the edge with that moon-walking position. This kind of tech skill is in the fox level, because it varies depending on how far you are from the edge and how fast you pivot. I have accomplished this at least 5 times in a row before. There is also a frame where you can fall off without pivoting, which means no horizontal movement. The point of this is to mind game your opponent.
Another cool trick, which you guys might already know about, is ledge-canceling falcons forward-b on a platform. If you forward-b a split second after you fall off a platform falcon will ledge cancel the other side. What makes this cool is you can do it multiple times in a row. I've pulled it off 7 times in a row back and forth until I messed up.
Here's where it really gets cool. I eventually got the idea to combined the two tricks above, but I only got it to work once for me. What I did was, run off the top platform on dreamland -> forward-b ledge cancel off the other side -> pivot when I ledge canceled into a falcon punch with no horizontal movement onto the bottom platform. It sounds cool, but it looked even cooler. This is ridiculously hard to do, but it's just a testament showing how hard falcon is.
Anyway, decided to try out this technique with other characters and it works wonderfully. Although, the characters that I think will have the most use of this is sheik and Ganon, because of their large powerful forward airs. I think the easiest character to do this with is Sheik, because she has a very specific frame for dash dancing.
