Down B to recover?!!?!

[Wako]

I've seen one person do it. Ever. Pimpuigi. He has to be a frickin robot.

Can anyone else do it? If so, is there s trick to it? Or just liek Mario's and Doc's Down Bs? ;/ :confused: :mad:

[Sudhir]

It's like Mario's and Doc's but not as good.

[the_loo]

It's like Mario's and Doc's but not as good.

Actually, Mario and Doc's may be easier, but they won't be able to get as good of a vertical recovery. After they do it, they drop the height they raised. Luigi drops alot less.

But its still too hard for me to do well.. as for alot of luigi players.

[vidjogamer]

Luigi's is actually the best. Get a turbo controller and test it. Luigi's goes twice as high as the other's. The drawback? Its twice as hard.

[omegablackmage]

i don't know if you guys already knew this or not, but you have to "load" the down b to get it to work. Using it on the ground once before you use it in the air is a must in order for it to work. It has to be "loaded" every time you use it. So once on the ground, then the air, then on the ground, etc. Just keep using it and yes, you will get faster.

I did not...thank you so much. ^^

[Roy/Marth Player.]

Uhhh..Hmm..

[chinesahh]

... i cant believe you didnt know that....-.-

[GAYB]

you guys are ****ing retarted, yes luigi's down b works but its not practicle. he has much better recovery tactics such as over b then jump or anything. the down b is just not anything you need to use its a worthless recovery tactic

[Wako]

uhm..actually it isn't.

and excuse me if I didn't know you had to "load" it, that's why I asked, isn't it? Trolls.

[mathos]

Its called loading it because it only works on the even number of times you have used it. Thats why the first time it doesn't do it, because the first=1=odd number. The second and respective following even numbers will produce a better "recovery".

[BentoBox]

If you guys have access to the hub, go download "PimpUigi - Under The Sea", its freaking amazing @_@. He can go underneath FD from side to side ._. And yeah, Down-B helps alot, sorry to burst your bubble GAYB

You can find everything you wanna know (concerning the hub) right there :

now then instead of "load" does that mean you only could do the down-b recovery every even no. attack?

[BentoBox]

You can pull off a rising tornado the [2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th,[...]] time you use it. Now whether you absolutely have to be on the ground or not while doing tornados on odd numbers, that I'm not so sure about..

[Ultra Luigi]

Well I dont know about the odd numbers but just loading it on the ground makes it work. I use the tornado a lot besides recovery so i dont count weather the its even or odd as long as ive done it on the ground the next one is sure to work.

[Jekyll]

The tornado doesn't have to be loaded on the ground. Loading it in the air also counts.

[VilNess]

^ Are you 100% SURE??

to my knowledge, it won´t work that way.

[Ultra Luigi]

It loads in the air only if you land on the ground, but it wont load in the air if luigi is still in the air when the tornado is done.

[SUPERSTARLUIGI]

To my knowledge, I don't think this tech isn't as reliable as the common recovery moves like the missile. Its all a matter on how far you are, what the situation looks like in terms of who your opponent is and how they are working to keep you off the platform. I have tried it at times and it helps, but I rarely use it cuz it gets countered.....I keep it safe.

SSL

[Jekyll]

^True, but there are also times when that last missile you used leaves you with a little horizontal distance to go to the ledge, and since luigi's Up+B has no horizontal distance, your only choices are to die(boo!) or cyclone up and towards the stage before using Up+B...

[unknown522]

I can do it to survive..... That's all I can say

[Sandman]

Some good info on Luigi here. I play him time to time, but I haven't really used the tornado except when coming down from the top and I need to get by someone jumping up to juggle me. It seems to work better than his aerial moves, if not for the "suprise factor" of using the tornado like that.

[Nigzel]

2 perfect down+B will go as far as FD

EDIT: on ground

[mac holland]

you generally should save your jump until after the down-b. it helps cancel out some of the fall animation and then you can just do up-b. not saving your jump = death.

[kyakoya]

Ok, Ive seen it done and Ive tried it, but i simply cant do the down-b to recover. How exactly is it supposed to be done. You do the down-b(when its loaded or whatever) and then you do something with the control stick, right? Explain please

[Luigi Ka-master]

Oooah? No, no control stick antics. You just get it loaded, then do it again when coming back to the edge (Or anywhere else if you really want to), except this time you have to tap B like crazy. Or at least that's what I do. I've heard of timing it somehow, but uhh, tapping like crazy seems to work best for I. Even if the consequences are me having a bleeding thumb at the end of it/taking ALL of my focus off everything else and focusing entirely on tapping B, it's saved me a number of times.

[T Bird]

Ok... This load thing is confusing and diferent people have said different things. I assume it's not really loading. Someone said it works on even times, others say it works only if you do it on the ground first. One person said it doesn't matter whether it's even or odd as lond as you've done it on the ground the time before? Which is which, and if it really is loading then does it make a difference how fast I tap b during the load tornado or not?

When you're loading it, dont tap b, you tap it when you're trying to use it to get back. If you're confused with the way it loads just mess around with it in practice mode.

[Yagi]

this is correct

[[]WND]

ok, i load it and i tap b raipdly when im tryin to get back, and etc etc, but i just wanna know how the hell PimpLuigi gets soooo high AND gets a nice horizontal when he does it. Ive been tryin to figure it out for the longest time

also, in another thread, Origin said that pressing L or R right before he puts his foot down works. not sure it its purely legit, but i just tried it and just misfired 7 times in a row...it actually scared me at first because i thought i finally found a way

[Hark21Ball]

you guys are ****ing retarted, yes luigi's down b works but its not practicle. he has much better recovery tactics such as over b then jump or anything. the down b is just not anything you need to use its a worthless recovery tactic

same here its still hard and annoying to recover with it so theres no point.

[Ultra Luigi]

I dont see whats so hard about it, I works perfectly for me. I use down-b as an attack most of the time so I know that its loaded when I need it. Dont make it harder than it seems.

[BentoBox]

same here its still hard and annoying to recover with it so theres no point.

You ppl used to say the same about SWDing with samus... Not practical, **** hard to perform BLABLABLA. Go tell that to Wes now and see what he thinks about it..

Over B to jump to up+b doesnt work all the time... Luigi rocks on the horizontal recovery department, but if he goes to low under the stage when side-b'ing, he's done for. Luigi has the possibility to come back from everything by over-b'ing =*» tornado =» jump =» up+b...

Why da hell would you NOT want to use ur tornado in cases like this? It may be hard to master, but its worth the time spent in learning it, imo.

[K10]

Is there anywhere that I can get this Pimpuigi video other than the hub? Things on the hub download too slow for me.

[maathimself]

Here is PimpUigi - Under the Sea:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XUTEOHK4

It makes sense that you would need to "load" before recovering with it, because if it worked for recovery every time, Luigi would have infinite verticle recovery.

[K10]

You would need to have some crazy hands. That video was awesome. I think he just put it in slow-mo melee then played it faster, because now that I do it, I do it in slow mo and it is a lot easier.
