Something I found while playing around, sorry if it is known already.
Most of us know about the PK fire canceling, that is when you pk fire off of a ledge at the correct timing, ness shouts out pk fire, but falls off the ledge without anything coming out.
Now there is obviously no real use for this other than the fact that it might scare or hesitate people off of the platform, but I found something interesting.
Right when you get off of the ledge, all vertical movement seems to be canceled out. If you want to see this for your self, try running off of the ledge, and push c-stick down. You will see ness initiate his dair, but also fast fall downwards. This is obviously dangerous.
Now, try doing the pk fire cancel, and right when you do it, push c-stick down. you will see ness dair right at platform level. This is very useful because say some1 is trying to recover, and you don't have the time to go down there, jump up and dair to spike them. You can just do this to quickly spike who ever is coming.
I'll try to post up a video soon, but it should be quite easy to do. I'll see if there may be any other uses for the pk fire cancel other than for dairs.

I annotated too so you can see what I"m talking about. I should've put in what happens when you don't pkfc(i'll call it that xD), basicly if you don't pkfc, instead of going to the side like i did, you go straight down, which in case i would've missed, and had a hard time...Actually I did do it at the beginning. woops
