I've been trying to figure this out, but I can't seem to do it. How do you make the tornado go really high when you are already in the air and you have no momentum? Is it purely button mashing skills or is there a certain way to do it...?

Button mashing skills
Good momentum = few button mashes
no momentum = lots of button mashes
downwards momentum = ZOMG button mashes
Fastfall downwards momentum = need to be superman button mashing skills, possibly impossible to go really high out of this, I typically don't do much more than counter out my downwards momentum and move horizontally a bit

So either use your second jump to have good upwards momentum to start, or button mashing skills. You'll notice anything that increases your window for spamming the b button usually increases the amount of height you'll gain out of momentums you normally wouldn't go very high in. For example, if the tornado hits a person a bunch all the extra time added by the hitlag.

Eten, its better to reserve your second jump so that you can tornado up, and still use your jump if necessary. For example if you get hit while in tornado, you're gunna want the second jump.

If you get hit while you're in your tornado, you get to tornado again for height anyway. But that doesn't make your point any less true.

If you have used your second jump, and you can't do a no-momentum tornado for height, wtf are you going to do?

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING! Except for up b, but thats not always enough. Neither is misfire...So I need to learn how to do the no-momentum tornado. You should to...if you don't know how...
