I was watching a tournament when someone was using Luigi and his recovery was just amazing he would do an over B followed by his down B followed by this over B again. when I was trying this out I couldn't get Luigi to go up in the air while doing his down B. How does one do Luigi's down B to make him float in the air? If anyone could help me out with this situation it would be much help thank you

Tornado (B-Down)
Damage: two hits 18% (10%, 8%)

Despite what this move might look like or what Marios B-Down may do Luigi's B-Down, basically, consist of two hits. The first hit is when he spins around this hit will knock the opponent in the air (10%); the second hit is when Luigi comes out of the spin with his fist out (8%). However, what people seem to not get/know is that this move (in the air) can give you height after a series of button presses. To see someone do this look at Thunder's Luigi or Yagi's Luigi they do this often when returning to the stage. There is a catch to this advantage though; you must first do this move on the ground to be able to do a rising tornado. If Luigi was able to do a rising tornado every time then he would be able to have an infinite return that is why every OTHER tornado is a rising tornado. To do the rising tornado you must press B-Down to start the animation; during the start up animation you then press the button B rapidly. This is what you should be pressing: B-Down, (during start up animation) B, B, B, B, B, B...rapidly. There is a scale of how high you will go depending on how many times you press B during the start up animation.

I heard that 10 taps per second is enough to break even on height, 14 is the max. I don't know if that's confirmed, but that's what I mentally aim for.

5 presses per second will hover. 10 will gain you half of your maximum height, and 14 will gain all of it.
