Ok, this is one of those gimps that happens every 1 outa 5 mathes, bbut when the situation arises, do this...

1. opponent is hanging on the edge.
2. You are coming down in the air(just knocked off) with a jump left.

Do your side be, aiming for the edge.

If you hit your opponent (has to be a non-floater/multiple jump char) do this.

Since stun after a side b is nice, position yourself with your jump or not to fire a fireball.

Once that connects(in the mean while, as you shoot, position yourself pretty much right next to them) Do a rising tornado. The nado hits them in a nice awkward angle.

This, works. Worked on a bowser, Marth, falco, Fox, and Ganon. Will work on any other cahr, like I said, who doesnt have multiple jumps.

I wish I can record me doin this next time.
Remember, if used wisely, Luigi off stage = beast. Space animalls are dead off stage now, since i got the nado gimp down pack now. xD

Ive enev been able to gimp Robs at lylat, only this time, instead of the nado hittin them farther from the stage, i hit him under, and use my upB as a final hit. Real beautiful if done right. A Weegee spike would help too xD

Wishing Apex 2012 happened again.
I remember you telling me this. I've done it alot of times before, I was gonna post it but I wasn't sure lulz. As soon we as we get a video, we can invest this in our Luigi meta-game and put it on Loucan's strats thread.

Edit: I found a video on how useful is Luigi's dtilt and how Tornado's sometime kinda awkward angle at 1:45. You have to hit them around the outer outside of the tornado to hit them in a offstage angle. I think if you hit them in a rising tornado, if their caught in the middle of the tornado, they will take mulitple hits and hit in a even more awkward offstage angle.

Here's the video!

The tornado's hits basically go "towards" Luigi for the effect.

Basically, if the stage is to the right of you, you need to hit with only (or end up hitting with last) the left part of the 'nado to get a Stage Spike like that.
