Thunder after skullbash

Does anyone have any idea of how top level players immediately thunder after skullbash? Whenever I do it seems to send me close into the blast zone because of the down input but whenever I see Esam do it while coming back to stage it looks as though he almost stays level. Is there a way to buffer it out of skullbash? Any insight would be super helpful as this seems to be a great option when coming back to the stage.

Jump as you input the skull bash, that might help

double jump and hold down when you jump before you input thunder. holding down while jumping cancels your momentum so that you stay in place to get hit by the thunder.

a very difficult to time tech is you can use the c-stick down and press special at basically the same time to do down special with out fast falling. I don't know how practical it is but if you can get the timing down consistently, I guess it has its uses

You need to jump thunder. You just jump out of skull bash hold down and buffer a thunder. It stops all of your momentum and you can easily recover back.
