Any up-b setups?

The green man's air moves have caught my attention, and to get to know him better, I'd like to know if anybody's worked out a relatively feasible way to string in to a killer up-b. Anybody got something?

Jab Cancel in Up B (buffer to make it as quick as possible)
Or you can try perfect shielding a hit then using Up B immediately.
Those are the only two reasonable methods I know of.
I'd be interested to hear what other people say.

Another 1 that I've been doing is falling unsweetspotted nair, to jab, to up + b.
There is also nair to just up + b. But to my knowledge can only be done at lower percentages.
A simpler set up I do is air dodge to up + b.

I have examples of these being done in tournament play.

Both of these videos include spot dodge to up + B done for the win on both matches

And here are two videos of me doing falling nair, to jab, to up+B

And here is just nair to up+b being done, very early in the match.

Its a very useful move people. Lets find some more set ups and make Luigi an even bigger force than he already is!!!

Luigi is the new jiggles :-P
Lol I was thinkin the same thing. Especially since jiggs rest in Brawl is pretty weak now :(.

I forgot to add though. His Up+B combos most of the time are very character specific and dependent on DI. So try them out on all the characters before thinking its a legit combo.

fireball -> jab -> UpB works too. Fireball is sometimes looked over by luigi players, it is actually very good to use into combos because of its stun ability.

Jab -> Up B
Down Tilt -> Up B
Jab -> Jab -> Up B
Down Tilt -> Jab -> Up B
Jab -> Down Tilt -> Up B
Yeah this pretty much sums it up except for the nair to up b but that can be air dodged, also at low percentages (0) you can do two down smashes then air chase to up b

Whoops I forgot, sometimes when people are on the edge waiting, I just drop down and up b them. Very Thrilling.

I know this isn't a set up.. but once I was knocked in the air as Luigi and I basically fell into a successful up B as I fell towards a guy's unsuspecting Lucario.

My favorite up B's are the ones that come out of nowhere, but I cant think of any set ups that haven't been said here already.
