None of those make a sound as gratifying as a Shoryuken "Ping!" though, except Judgments.
Ah yes, I had totally forgotten about the noises, still noise>epicness? Debatable. :p

I just got button mashing tornado w/o second jump almost done, but I can't do it like consistently like Boss or Locuan can >__>. Foot+thumb finger action FTW.
Awesome keep going for it.

How do you gain that speed anyway? There has to be some excercise I can do with my thumb. Jumpless Rising Cyclone is on my list of things to do.
I can tell you guys the way I do so but it just sounds wrong. Anyways w/e feel free to LOL.

What I do is instead of holding the controller and mashing b with the thumb, I just hold the controller with my left hand and just take my right hand and just move the whole arm (right) in small but quick vibrations (see what I mean that it sound weird? lol).

Hopefully, you'll get the idea. (In the non-double meaning way xD.)

It's easy to use Luigi's DownB...Just get out there and play alot of Mario Party to work your mashing skills

Anyone know the speed difference.....like how many times you have to hit it for grounded cyclone vs aerial cyclone

been wondering this too. my theory is that it's exactly the same as melee. that's just a theory though, but with slightly lesser button mashing for a full nado.


IN MELEE

Tornado (B-Down)




If you press B (#)....Height gained
14+ times per second...Highest amount of height will be gained
12-13 times per second...2/3 the maximum height
8-10 times per second...1/2 the maximum height
5-7 times per second...0 height gained (maintains height; stalls)
Less than 5... Loss

.

That's banned in most tourneys

I'm able to do it, but not on the spur of the moment in an actual game. It's on my to do list, but I never really get any opportunities to practice Jumpless Rising Cyclone...

Did I mention I don't own a Wii? :ohwell:

You can do cyclone w/o jump? whata gangsta
I want you to see my recoveries after around 2:30 in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs9lZFyH7V8

Once you see it, you will never question my ability to do a JRC like you did ever again. Really, I just use any excuse I can find to show off my recoveries.

EDIT: The Rising Cyclone works differently now. I would like to give some insight on the "how fast does B need to be pressed", but frankly, I'd rather save it for a "10 things you probably didn't know about the cyclone" thread I'm gonna make.

Good luck hippie and chic. The underdog will become the top dog!

Teneban, I would assume being a lefty grants you the right to john about not being able to mash B fast enough... for now. My left hand can't mash as fast as my right hand, but I bet it can mash faster than most of you can mash with your right. And with practice, it would improve. What I'm saying is that you might still be able to do it with your right hand if you practice enough. Lock your fingers together and vibrate your arm if you must.

No bull, but you can try using your foot for button mashing. It gave me 1/4th rise on the torando. works for me sometimes. But I'd doubt in tourney play the guy next to you would want to smell your stinky feet lmfao.

Man, I really hate Samus. :/ Against anyone else she's terrible, but I get dominated if I play as Luigi, what's up with that?

I find the godly Zair a tad annoying, but aside from that, I don't have much trouble. Just watch out for the Dair spikes, Dair techchases and projectile spam.

The people I play are terrible and don't do stuff like that. It's mostly all the lingering hitboxes that last longer than the air and spot dodges.

Aside From Fair, what hitboxes does she have that linger that much? Usmash does but it's terribad, Dtilt lingers a bit, but it's range isn,t really suited to countering a character that's always in the air, like Luigi.

Could you be more specific plz?

Wouldn't it be cool if we had a Mario and Luigi combo video collab with the Mario boards. A team brawl video! With all the sexy things they can do together!....

With the Chemical Brother's song Leave Home.

I second Kig's idea. We need some doubles footage of a real match with cape ****.

Mario Grab -> Ground Release -> Shoryuken -> Cape.

If it's any character like Peach or CF, yea man, I'm still trying to learn them, but yea the two games where you won against MK were legit, (let's try that @ Genesis though :p).

Eh, w/e more practice.

@Kig, sounds like a good idea, if you guys can get your replays /send them to someone with a capture device to later send the whole files to me O.o I wouldn't mind editing it.

It's too bad there isn't a single person that can go through that long, time-consuming project.

k so, i have made it offical that luigi is the worst char on the edge espically against ppl with longer range than him. because of this, i will cry because of how i get wrecked by silly things
Lol, Luigi has no options to get past Wario's ftilt when he's at the edge, it's kinda sad/funny.

Srsly? You could always drop off the ledge jump and tornado at an angle away from the ledge then float on to safety? Drop off double jump fireball? You could probably even clank it with a Uair pretty easy.

Or are you talking when Luigi is trying to recover horizontally? You can just green missile underneath the ledge and sweetspot.

So I have no idea what you're talking about or you just play bad weegees.

It's how I did a buttload of damage to Boss. If you're grabbing the edge, and Wario spaces to where his fist is a little bit behind edge level, you can't get back onstage unless you tornado high, which leaves you vulnerable to upairs (well spaced upairs beat out Luigi's moveset) or bair or Wafts or whatever (you really don't want to be offstage against someone with such a fast interrupt and poke game as Wario, plus the added threat of wafts). If you try to get onto the stage with anything the ftilt will beat it (it beats or trades hits with all of Luigis moves, which is why I tell people to save it for killing if they can, and it destroys fireballs).
