Luigi Cyclone isLuigi's down special move in theSuper Smash Bros. series. When used, Luigi will spin around in a similar fashion toMario'sMario Tornado. Luigi pulls in nearby opponents, spins them around, and flings them in the air. This move is best used when surrounded, because of its lack of effect on a single opponent. Also, Luigi Cyclone can move faster than Mario Tornado, making it ideal if characters are far from Luigi. In all five games, Luigi can rise with it if the special attack button is pressed repeatedly.
In the originalSuper Smash Bros., Luigi Cyclone only hits twice, though both hitboxes are powerful, allowing for a total of 33%. InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, both hitboxes are weakened, and the move requires to be charged on the ground in order to travel distances. FromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl onwards, Luigi Cyclone does not need to be charged, though it is reworked into a multi-hitting attack; button-mashing allows it to travel very far, both horizontally and vertically. Every subsequent game decreases the distance travelled by Luigi Cyclone, to the point where it grants almost no height inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, Luigi Cyclone can be changed into one of the two custom variants, although they are locked by default. The first one isMach Cyclone, which pops Luigi into the air, making his recovery better. The other one isClothesline Cyclone, which has increased knockback, at the cost of his ability to trap opponents.
Luigi Cyclone is similar to theSpin Jump fromSuper Mario World.
