Speed Up Tornado Toss#960

Tornado Toss is a new item being added to the game shown off in a recent clip.
It looks dreadfully slow though to use on yourself, and items like that are the kind that I think people try to ignore even if they are useful. If it were sped up and the duration were shorter, it wouldn’t interrupt the pace of the fight, and could be more fun to pick up as a burst of speed grabbing attack.
Think Meta Knight’s tornado as an example.
If a special attack would never be this slow, then I think an item shouldn’t be either.
This would also make it more clearly an offensive item, because as it looks now it seems unclear as to whether it’s good or bad to get hit by it or use it on yourself.

The item for context:

I see the vision behind making it last so long, so that the tornado, alone, isn’t super overbearing in the way a lot of Smash items are.

That said, I don’t like that you’re stuck for, like, ten seconds if you get hit by the spawn. Even five seconds of being unable to do anything after getting hit in from the latter half would be an annoying amount of waiting. It should probably speed up the rest of the tornado sequence any time it captures someone.

Edit: nvm, saw that the people in the tornado still have control over it
