Knocked away, up-B, but...

[B_Smash07]

I love luigi. He's by green-hatted dawg. But, the one prob i have with mainin him is that when u get knocked away, the green missle it really your only mode of gettin back. His super jump punch just goes straight up, not on an angle like mario. any tips on how to work around this so i can main luigi when brawl comes around?

if you are asking about luigi recovery, you have; Forward B, Down B, second jump, and Up B
now thats alot of recovery id say XD, so when you are traying to get back onto stage just forward B till u get close but far enuff from the opponents attack, and then do your raising tornado, and then depending how far away u are from the stage, sweetspot the edge with either second jump and/or third jump

Luigi is my third main but I use him a lot.
Most people i fight are n00bs.
So i just WD around.
But if/when i get hit off i will definantly use that.

rising tornado is impossible though... unless you're ka-master

Quoted for truth.

 

[FlipX]

But you didnt quote anything 0.0

lol i think eggz meant to quote this, id say everyone can do a rising tornado however to do a rising tornado to its fullest... prolly only ka yea XD

just work on trying to get your fingers to move faster.

 

[Metà]

Either that or you can pray for a misfire. XD

 

[Micheloxx]

ka master is nice, but rising tornado isnt imposible, hard but not imposible. I can do it, i dont know anyone else but i know more people can.

protip: save your second jump until you're close enough to get in position for an up+b afterward

 

[pockyD]

you don't have to do a perfect tornado to get some horizontal out of it

 

[TJK1997]

Pray for a missfire or prtice down B

Like ppa0 said, missiles, tornado recovery, 2nd jump, up B. With that recovery strategy, it's hard to be knocked off and lose a stock (unless you vertically/horizontally lose a stock). The recovery doesn't necessarily have to be done as well as Ka to be useful, even though doing it as well as Ka would be helpful too and believe it or not, a friend of mine who is now a fox/peach player can do the cyclone recovery just as well or slightly worse than ka! (I will post the match where you see this outstanding recovery soon).
