Well, I was doing some experimenting with the new Luigi. I had heard that he was nerfed and was at first a little dismayed by how much higher in the air the d-throw chucks the opponent.

Then I found out that Bang Bang Elevator (my personal name for DThrow to UpB) is not only still possible, but because of the greater height of Up+B, it can kill at even lower percents than before. Peach, for example, can be killed at 65%.

So...actually, this is kind of a buff.

Oh, but the difference is that you need to do a double jump before doing an up+B now. Just double jump quickly to get where the opponent is and you'll be able to kill them even earlier than you could before the patch.

Since when did up B get a height buff? Do you mean Down B growth? Also, People can still react from the double jump. And losing Luigi's double jump like that risks an early gimp. Sadly, the old down throw to up B I find still better because it has less risk than that.
