Mario Tornado

As an aerial normal attack in Brawl.

The Mario Tornado is the name given to Mario's Down B. His down B spins him around in a circle rapidly, and can be used for recovery as well. To do this, press Down B in the air, and rapidly keep pressing B. The player should gain a good amount of height if they have medium-fast fingers. To test if they are getting good height, use it on the ground. If they can double jump after the tornado, they are doing it well. It is a multi-hit attack, and the first who hits don't stun (phantom hits). Here is some frame data:

Mario's Down B has been replaced with F.L.U.D.D.. A screenshot of the Tornado is shown with the accompanying caption: "He still seems to have this move, though. Eh? Is it a normal attack?!" Although still speculation at this point, it is likely that his tornado has become an aerial A move since he is only seen doing it in the air.
