i've looked around and haven't really seen much discussion about this.
essentially, whenever you do a down B and land before metaknight goes into freefall, the next time you land from the air you will receive landing lag from that down b.
-applies to both attacking and non attacking down B's.
-it does not change the animation of landing with aerial attacks/airdodge, but it does add more lag to landing with them.
-it also changes the animation of landing with nothing (to landing from freefall) with a LOT more landing lag than normal landing with nothing.
-if you do a down B with the install, and then use Tornado, you will only get rid of the lag install if you land while in freefall. if you land during the tornado, you still have the lag install.
-slipping on a banana from the ground does not get rid of the lag install
-grabbing the edge DOES get rid of the lag install.
-landing while in tumble (teching OR no tech) will get rid of the lag install
-landing on a banana and slipping on it seems to get rid of the lag install
here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTUcsksgFpA#t=184
does down B at 3:04
landing lag at 3:09
here's another example, where metaknight reappeared in the air, tries to land and gets hit, and STILL has landing lag when he lands : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTUcsksgFpA#t=395
down b at 6:36
landing lag at 6:41
here's an example when the landing lag happens a long time after the down b:

down b at 3:38
uses tornado, does some stuff on the ground, jumps, gets hit
landing lag at 3:52
