How can I use Bowser's Fire Breath to Edge-Guard?
So it seems to me that Bowser's Fire Breath (neutral special) could potentially be used as an edge guarding move, given that it is angled downwards, and can damage characters trying to recover. Currently when using it to edge guard I will stand on the edge, and use the move to hit players trying to recover by ensuring the flames are sprayed downwards off of the ledge (as opposed to horizontally off of the edge).
This tends to work against characters with poor recoveries that are easily cancelled (like Yoshi, whose jump is easily stolen, or Ness, whose recovery can be easily neutralized using the fire), but I am having problems using the move to guard against more diverse recoveries, like Pikachu (who can usually recover by avoiding me and my fire entirely), or Fox/Falco (who can use their recovery to push straight through the fire, often damaging me).
So how can I use the Fire Breath to edge guard? Is there a general strategy that differs from the one I described above? Are there specific strategies used against specific characters?
