Although his Superstar status has earned him many fans, including led by and multiple supporting (one of which claims to be his biggest fan in Super Mario 64 DS), even Bowser and the have occasional trouble with remembering his name (as seen in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga), and he appears to be almost unknown in the.

Although Luigi's biggest reactions to his frequent overlookings in the Mario & Luigi series are a few 's and face-faults, his inattention was played up for comic relief in Paper Mario, with the snarky man in green complaining about being left behind and perpetually training for that. Luigi's bio in states that he has been gaining popularity in recent years. Luigi's state of being in the shadow of his brother shows strongly in.

An example would be the way Luigi is almost never happy, how his commentary is very monotoned, and how one of his taunts is a bashful kick of the ground. Also, his Final Smash, Negative Zone, seemed to have developed because of living in his brother's shadow forever.

Additionally, whenever the crowd cheers for Luigi, not too many people are heard cheering for him and when the announcer says Luigi's name, he sounds a little surprised. Despite this, however, did not intend to play up Luigi's overshadowed status, instead aiming to make him 'everyone's favorite man in green.'

When Luigi finally went on a quest of his own in, he's presented as be more arrogant and somewhat of a liar, as he changes the stories of his adventure to make himself look better; his partners claim his stories are false. Of his escapades describe them with even more flowery exaggerations, stating for instance that he played an earth spirit in the Drama Slam (whereas he actually played grass on the side of the road, according to ) and that he awoke with 'a soft call' (rather than a sneeze).

In, the (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as 'unworthy' to enter. This most likely has something to do with Luigi's 'dark secret from his past,' which it also mentions; Luigi did something either embarrassing or foolish which he has kept a secret ever since.

However, in a interview with a member of staff, he stated Luigi had no dark secret, and it was actually a reference to Luigi's constantly living in the shadow of his brother. He also added: 'Why make Luigi into a bad guy?

We have for that instead!' [] Even the game itself makes a straightforward point that Luigi has a large heart, as proven when he hits the and it grows to a gigantic size, flattening him. In and, Luigi is shown to cry when he is frustrated and losing a game. Luigi is also portrayed as somewhat refined, leading the ' in. Luigi's Mansion shows him to be a bit of a neat freak, constantly criticizing the dustiness of his mansion and even mentioning at one point that he hand washes his cap as opposed to using a washing machine as his brother does.

He also seems to have an eye for art, but doesn't appreciate many of King Boo's decorations. Luigi has also been known to cross-dress several times, usually as in order to trick their enemies. Luigi can be sensitive when someone insults him, especially if the jab in question regards his mustache (as proven prior to his showdown with ).

Luigi also appears to show concern for cruelty to animals; he is horrified by the deer heads and leopard skin rugs in the in and declares that he won't stand for an animal being treated in such a manner. Whereas Mario rarely speaks in the video games aside from numerous yells and grunts, Luigi is proven to be quite the conversationalist in the Paper Mario series, except in (where he has no dialogue at all); however, just like Mario, Luigi is mostly a silent character. When speaking, he talks in a strong Italian accent like his brother. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi is almost Mario's 'mouth'. He does all the speaking for Mario in the beginning of the game (a role later taken by ). Once he joins Mario's party, however, he talks only during scenes where the four heroes are shown together. Curiously, the inverse seems to be the case in the rare instance of a Luigi-only quest; both brothers are capable of captioned speech in Luigi's Mansion, but Luigi is limited to ellipses and question marks when interacting with another character.

In the Mario & Luigi series, Luigi, as well as Mario, talks in gibberish that the player can't interpret, but the other characters in the game do. In Luigi is consistently portrayed as being the smarter of the two, but the cowardice trait is also shown as Luigi is scared of things going very wrong.

He also doesn't take as many risks as Mario does. Revealed in is that he is willing to help whenever he is in danger. He thinks that Mario is much cooler than he is, that he adores his brother because of this trait. The messages that appear in Dream's Deep further explains this trait.

Overall, Luigi's personality is hard to determine and tends to change depending on the appearance. Very few games have portrayed him with a personality that lasts throughout the subsequent release. Overall, however, Luigi can be described as timid and cautious, yet kindhearted, brave, and willing to protect his homeland with Mario's help, though can be a bit negative at times. The Stork, carrying the newborn Mario Bros. To their parents Luigi was initially introduced as Mario's much younger brother. The first indication of their specific age difference was in, which implied that Luigi was born after Mario by several years. However, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi Touch & Go described the brothers as twins.

The remake of the former, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, did not expressly call them twins, but noted that Luigi was Mario's younger brother, carried to their parents at the same time. Many video game sources still refer to Luigi as the younger brother, indicating that Luigi may have been the second born twin. For example, in Super Paper Mario, refers to Mario and Luigi as twins at the end of chapter 7-1. Despite the small age difference, Luigi directly refers to Mario as 'big bro' in the same game on more than one occasion. Also, while Luigi's Trophy description in also referred to him as 'younger twin brother', Colonel Roy Campbell calls Luigi a 'kid brother' to Snake during Snake's Codec conversation in the same game. In the Mario cartoon series, Luigi playfully refers to Mario as his 'little big brother', likely due to their height difference.

Since Mario is stated to be 26 years old in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Melee, then, provided it is correct, Luigi is also 26 years old.

Powers and abilities Luigi's abilities are usually exactly the same as Mario's, such as in Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario World so as to not give players advantages over each other. In most instances where one player can choose between the two brothers, however, Luigi is given his own gameplay quirks.

This first occurred in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, where Luigi can jump higher than Mario but has lower traction and speed. In the American Super Mario Bros. 2, Luigi once again features the highest jump, but comparatively low speed and power. Luigi's high jumps but low traction would return in, which, unlike its original version, allowed players to switch between Mario and Luigi at any time on the map screen.

In three-dimensional adventures, such as Super Mario 64 DS, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 Luigi is usually faster than Mario (at the cost of poorer acceleration), but retains his classic high jumps and poor traction. As aforementioned, Luigi has a higher top speed, but poorer acceleration than his brother in Super Mario 64 DS, along with poor traction and increased agility. In this game, the two brothers are the fastest in all speeds. Luigi's jumps are perhaps at their strongest in this game; not only can Luigi jump higher than his brother, but he can also to slow his fall. His backflip has the same effect as being caught in a or stomping a, allowing for a very slow descent. Unlike Mario, however, Luigi cannot in this game. As a result of his agility and lightness, Luigi can walk on water for a short time.

Luigi's is, allowing him to disappear for invincibility and the ability to walk through certain obstacles. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi's specialty is the, which sends him just off the screen to bound over obstacles and damage enemies mid-air. His standard jumps are also higher than any other character's and he has lower traction once more. However, the player can simply press down to stop instantly in this game (due to his ).

Electricity is sometimes depicted as Luigi's answer to Mario's fire. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi is given the ability to harness and release electricity with a technique known as the, alongside his other specialty, the, to coincide with Mario's. This is referenced in Super Paper Mario with Mr. L's nickname of 'The Green Thunder,' and in where Luigi's involves controlling electricity. In addition to actual gameplay differences, Luigi often executes his moves differently than his brother. In, Luigi jumps with his legs back and descends with them forward, kneels when sliding, and appears to spit fireballs rather than throwing them.

The Super Smash Bros. Series and give Luigi green fireballs, and in the former games his fireballs levitate.

Perhaps most famously, Luigi's jumping animation in Super Mario Bros. 2 is merely his walking animation sped up; although Luigi's 'kicking' jumps were momentarily ignored, they returned in the, complete with a high-pitched warbling sound effect in Super Mario Advance 2 and 4. Luigi's aforementioned scuttle from Super Mario 64 DS also involves walking in mid-air, and he 'kicks' during his Triple Jump in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 instead of flipping like Mario. Luigi has also exhibited many unique traits in various sports and spin-off games, despite usually being a balance character like his brother. In games such as, Luigi has a higher top speed than Mario, but has lower handling and acceleration.

In the, Luigi hits with less power than his brother but features better control, although his shots consistently curve left. Luigi is slightly faster than Mario in, and reveals his special pitch and swing (the and, respectively) in. Despite his skills, Luigi is also somewhat clumsy. For example, in, he accidentally bumps one of his partners, the, into a volcano while trying to stop evil, burning him to a golden crisp but not killing him. Usually, though, he is very agile and can do many stunts Mario can not, and in fact appears to be the best jumper in the Mushroom Kingdom and he is shown to be a good breakdancer in whenever he gets a gold medal he breakdances like Sonic, and in the events Sychronized Swimming, Figure Skating, and Rhythmic Ribbon, he is shown to be flexible and a good gymnast because of his long legs. Roles taken Though Luigi is a heroic character in the Mario games, he is usually made as a sidekick to Mario, although in some media and games he is referred to as a partner. In the Mario & Luigi games, he is the cowardly partner to, and is occasionally forced to be brave.

He is the hero of a separate adventure the player doesn't get to play or see in, where he is a coward who changes the story to make himself look more heroic. In he was not a sidekick, but rather one of the four heroes, which made him equal to Mario. He was also brainwashed by to become a villain,, and was later brainwashed again by to become, the final boss. His sidekick role was completely different in, and its, where he was the sole main character who had to rescue Mario.

He has also taken the role of, similar to, as shown in. Overall, Luigi's role in games is usually the same as Mario's when they appear together. Luigi has a loving relationship towards his brother, if not occasionally competing against him. Luigi often accompanies his older twin brother on his adventures, most prominently in the Mario & Luigi series. While there is some sibling rivalry between the two, with Luigi sometimes feeling jealous and overshadowed by his brother, he also admires and looks up to him, wishing to be 'a great plumber like his brother Mario' in Super Mario RPG. The two share a loving twin bond so strong that as babies, Baby Mario could sense where his brother was after they were separated by the Koopas.

This closeness continues into adulthood, with the brothers frequently coming to each other's aid and rescue. While Mario is generally the more heroic and active of the two, Luigi has saved him on a few occasions, starting with Mario is Missing! And subsequently in Luigi's Mansion, and its sequel, Dark Moon, wherein Mario calls Luigi 'number one' upon his rescue. While they are rarely shown, Mario and Luigi's and are referenced a number of times, though Mama Mario appears in several episodes of Several other relatives are also mentioned or shown in various medias, such as their,, and.

Friends One of Luigi's closest friends is Yoshi, and the two are often referred to as 'The Green Team' when partnered up in spin-offs, although in the Mario Baseball, series their chemistry is only neutral. Their relationship is much closer in the, which depicted Yoshi as having originally thought Luigi was his mother and still enjoys hearing Luigi tell him bedtime stories, as seen in the episode. He is also good friends with, although they are not quite as close as Toad is with Mario, and while other Toads are almost unanimous in their praise and adoration of Mario, their opinions on Luigi vary greatly between individuals. Some are unabashed fans of Luigi, with one in Super Mario 64 even asserting that 'We'll have to call you the Luigi Brothers soon!' , while others are disbelieving that Luigi should measure up to Mario, with one going so far as to call him 'The world's most inept and least charismatic brother'. Similarly, Luigi's relationship with Starlow is far less cordial than she is with Mario, with her often belittling and mistreating him, but at the same time acknowledging that despite not being as great as Mario, he is still a hero.

Luigi's picture with Rosalina. Princess Peach is another one of Luigi's good friends, with him often accompanying Mario on quests to rescue her from Bowser, the two sharing good chemistry in, and overall friendly behavior seen between them, occasionally overlapping with hints of romantic attraction as well.

Luigi is seen swooning over Peach after she blows a kiss in her Mario Power Tennis victory scene, and in games where Luigi can be substituted for his brother, her interactions with him are the same as they would be with Mario, such as rewarding him with a kiss at the end of most Super Mario platformers, or even being referred to as 'special one' by Rosalina in Super Mario Galaxy. Overall, however, the two are portrayed as simple friends, with Daisy serving as Luigi's main love interest, although he has also expressed interest in the unseen of the Waffle Kingdom. He has also been speculated to have an interest in Rosalina owing to the fact that he and Rosalina are photographed together just as Peach and Mario were pictured together in the image sent by the in, and to the fact that he only gives Mario the he collected in if Mario tells Rosalina they're from Luigi. Fountain from the depicting Luigi with Daisy. ( Mario Kart Wii) It has been stated that Luigi has a crush on Daisy, and the attraction appears to be mutual.

In Daisy's second appearance in the Mario series, NES Open Tournament Golf, she served as Luigi's caddy, just as Peach was caddying for Mario, and as her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee points out, since that point 'some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach'. They are often paired up in spin-off games: they are seen golfing together in Mario Golf Toadstool Tour, are 'buddy players' with good chemistry in the series, they appear together in the pages from Mario Party 6, and in Mario Kart Wii, there is a giant, golden statue on the that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of and.

Their team names from the Mario Party series include, 'Steady Sweeties' and 'Tango Tanglers', and when Daisy received her trophy from Luigi in Mario Power Tennis, she says, 'Hey, sweetie! I'll take that'. Another one of Luigi's friendships can also be seen with Professor E. Although the only interactions between them aren't frequent, they work very well together.

Gadd shows much trust in Luigi, despite Luigi's cowardly nature. Throughout Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, E. Gadd jokingly holds Luigi in low regards, though he also states to be proud of him for courageously exploring the hostile ghost filled mansions as well as defeating the various ghosts. King Boo intimidates Luigi. Though 's main rivalry is with Mario, he views Luigi as almost a great a threat as his brother in games such as Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. At other times, Bowser has trouble even remembering Luigi's name, particularly in the Mario & Luigi series where he often defaults to calling him 'Green 'Stache' (although Bowser finally calls Luigi by his real name at the end of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team).

Rather than Bowser, Luigi's arch-nemesis is actually, who he met and defeated single-handedly in Luigi's Mansion when the ghost kidnapped Mario. King Boo would later try to get revenge in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and the rivalry can be seen in other series as well, such as the Mario Baseball games, in which they share bad chemistry, or Super Mario 64 DS, where King Boo (Known as Big Boo in the English version) was the one to lock Luigi away. Another heated rivalry exists between Luigi and Waluigi, with the two sharing bad chemistry in all the games they appear in together, and acting hostile and rude towards each other, such as Luigi making a gesture at Waluigi to anger him in Mario Tennis, the two scowling at each other in the Mario Party 3 group picture, and Waluigi's vandalism of Luigi's picture in the opening movie of Mario Power Tennis. Waluigi is constantly seen harassing Luigi, whether by humiliating him during the sports competition, following him wherever he goes, or even directly confronting him. The origins of their animosity are unknown, however jealousy may be a factor, as both Luigi and Waluigi have crushes on Princess Daisy.

Luigi himself, while he despises Waluigi, prefers to ignore him and his antics. Just as Luigi's relationships with Daisy and King Boo mirror Mario's relationships with Peach and Bowser, respectively, so too does Luigi's rivalry parallel the one between Mario and Wario. Wario himself does not show as much antagonism towards Luigi as Waluigi, although the two do not get along well and it has been shown that Wario enjoys giving Luigi trouble, such as by tying his shoelaces together.

Luigi ( ルイージ, Luigi) is a playable character in. His return to the series was announced during a on August 7th, 2013, which coincided with the announcement of and commemorated the. Charles Martinet reprises his role as Luigi's voice actor, albeit via voice clips recycled from. Luigi is currently ranked 18th out of 55 in the, placing him in the B tier. This is a significant improvement over his placement in Brawl, where he was ranked 28th out of 38, and is Luigi's best proportional placement in the series.

Luigi's most notable strength is the utility of his moveset: his overall fast frame data makes him difficult to and supplements his very consistent combo game, his very potent air game is supplemented by a number of his grounded moves having favorable launching angles, and his is a fairly quick with decent range. Luigi's attributes have also been improved: he much faster, while his air game and aerial mobility benefit from his much faster speed, higher, lower, and higher. Lastly, Luigi's remains unpredictable and long-distanced, as and are both risky to intercept. However, Luigi has retained his noticeable weaknesses from previous installments. Luigi's mobility is still slow and awkward in spite of its improvements: his faster dashing speed is slightly below-average at best, while his low and slow still largely hinder his options, punishment ability, and the versatility of his recovery. Despite having Fireball, the majority of Luigi's range is still short, which prevents him from racking up damage from a safe distance, especially against characters that have disjointed and/or projectiles. Overall, Luigi tends to run hot-and-cold like in previous installments.

He initially had a large playerbase and excellent results, such as winning with him. Although update 1.1.1 nerfed Luigi's combo game to the point that his results and playerbase decreased, he has continued to achieve excellent results at local and regional tournaments, and respectable results at national tournaments. This has been most evident with, whose consistent success has caused Luigi's current tier placement to become somewhat debatable. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Attributes [ ] Luigi is a whose attributes differ noticeably from other characters of the same weight class. Although he has average speed, he has slightly below-average speed and the lowest. Luigi's aerial attributes are also very atypical for a middleweight: he has very slow and, low, above-average, the fourth highest, and the seventh highest. As a result of these attributes, Luigi has overall slow mobility and is.

Like, Luigi can be very difficult to punish, thanks to all but two of his regular moves (forward smash and down aerial) hitting before frame 10. This, in turn, gives his frame data the distinction of being the fastest in the game in regard to start-up lag and when excluding.

Luigi's excellent frame data is complemented by the impressive utility of his overall moveset. Neutral attack's damage output and are decent, and it can be reliably even at high percentages. Luigi's tilt attacks also have their own perks: forward tilt can be angled and be used for; up tilt has excellent combo and juggling potential; and down tilt can opponents or hinder their attempts at grabbing the edge. Forward smash, sweetspotted up smash and down smash's back hit are reliable KOing options, but each of these moves also have some utility. Forward smash can be angled and deals extra.

Up smash renders Luigi's head throughout its duration, while it has set-up potential at 0%-5% thanks to its launching angle. Lastly, down smash is very useful for punishing rolls, thanks to its minimal lag, respectable damage output and long range. However, it is also a reliable follow-up from down throw against heavyweights and at 0%, while its front hit has set-up potential at 0%-5%. Luigi's aerial attacks are also very useful, as each of them can be with a, and possess specific perks. Neutral aerial is a and, like in previous installments, the only sex kick that launches opponents vertically, which benefits its clean and late hitboxes: the former is a great combo breaker and a situational KOing option near the upper blast line, whereas the latter is a very useful combo starter when 'd.

Forward aerial is the fastest of its kind and launches at the; at low to medium percentages, these traits make it very reliable for or down throw-initiated combos into itself, neutral aerial and up aerial, as well as a reliable option at high percentages. Back aerial has a very powerful clean hitbox and long range, which enable it to function as a safe and reliable KOing and edge-guarding option, or as an approach option via. Up aerial is useful for combos, since it can either extend them or, thanks to having the lowest amount of landing lag out his aerials, use its clean hitbox to start them at low percentages when SHFF'd. Lastly, down aerial is the third fastest of its kind, surpassed only by and 's, while its clean hitbox is a. Like Mario, Luigi's grab game is among the most effective in the game. His grabs are among the fastest in the game, while his is tied with 's as the fourth most damaging in the game.

Down throw is not only Luigi's most useful throw, but also his most useful move. Although update removed its ability to set up safe KOs, down throw's combos are still among the most versatile and consistent in the game, regardless of the opponent's weight, falling speed and gravity. In regard to middleweights, it can be followed up with forward smash at 0%-10%; up tilt, up smash, any aerial attack and Luigi Cyclone at low percentages; forward and clean back aerials at medium percentages; and clean up aerial at medium to high percentages. Despite being weakened since Brawl, back throw is as strong as ', and thus remains a reliable KOing option at high percentages. Lastly, forward and up throws have minimal utility, but are quick and deal respectable damage. As a semi- of Mario, Luigi has two special moves that are derived from his older brother, yet his versions deviate in noticeable ways.

Is a that is useful for pressuring, hindering an opponent's approach, or setting up an attack. Unlike Mario's Fireball, Luigi's is unaffected by gravity, which makes it somewhat less effective at hindering an opponent's or edge-guard attempt. Has very quick start-up like Mario's, but propels him vertically instead of diagonally.

By extension, it consists of a sweetspot and sourspot, instead of multiple hitboxes like Mario's. Comment Installer Un Vasistas. Its sweetspot boasts devastating power, which makes it a very potent punishment option, yet it is very risky because of its virtually useless sourspot and very high ending lag.

Aside from these, Luigi's other special moves are completely distinct from Mario's. Deals damage and covers horizontal distance, both of which can be increased thanks to its ability to be. However, it is also possible for Green Missile to misfire; in this case, it becomes even stronger than the fully charged version, and covers approximately 60% of. Lastly, can function as an approach option, a KOing option near the upper and, with sufficient button mashing, a recovery option. Although difficult to perform, it can even recoveries as well. However, Luigi has noticeable weaknesses, with the most significant one being his recovery.

Green Missile is slow and can be stopped by opponents willing to endure its hitbox, while Luigi Cyclone requires a considerable amount of to be effective without prior momentum. Lastly, Super Jump Punch is the least effective recovery option in his arsenal, owing to its lack of any sort of horizontal movement as Luigi ascends. This results in Luigi being overly reliant on his to recover, similarly to. Unlike Yoshi, however, Luigi has very slow air speed, which in turn makes his recovery very susceptible to gimps.

As in previous installments, Luigi's mobility prevents him from approaching quickly, especially from the air. This makes it significantly difficult for him to keep up with faster opponents, such as, and, which in turn hinders his otherwise excellent. As a result, Luigi is heavily reliant on using either short hopped neutral, forward and back aerials to approach, or Fireball to force approaches. However, there are a few methods that, at varying degrees, alleviate Luigi's problematic traction. Negates his dash's noticeable skid, which makes his approach safer.

Enables Luigi to dash while enduring only a very slight skid; although this makes it slightly risky, it allows him to go on the offensive more reliably, and even enables him to play. The last method is simply walking: although Luigi's walking speed is average, it is not as glaringly susceptible to his traction like his dash is. When coupled with proper usage of Fireball, this method can also enable him to maintain stage control. A notable user and proponent of the walking method is.

Lastly, Luigi's moveset has noticeable weaknesses in spite of its impressive strengths. Due to most of his range being short and his lack of a move, opponents with disjointed hitboxes and/or projectiles are very difficult for Luigi to fight against effectively. Luigi's unimpressive overall mobility also hinders his moveset.

Down throw is an essential aspect of his playstyle, yet his dash grab and especially his are hindered by his slightly below-average dashing speed and very low traction, respectively. Similarly, forward and clean back aerials are reliable for edge-guarding, yet they are risky to use as such while far from the edge because of his very slow air speed.

The majority of Luigi's are useful, with his most notable ones being Floating Missile and Quick Missile. Floating Missile is much riskier to intercept because it propels Luigi in a perfectly straight line, charges much faster, and is only slightly weaker than Green Missile. Quick Missile travels much farther and moves much faster, similarly to how Green Missile functioned in Melee. However, it is slightly weaker, while its considerably higher ending lag and lack of traction upon landing on a stage or platform make it much more punishable. Ice Ball has a slightly lower damage output, slightly higher start-up lag, slightly shorter range, and travels slower.

However, it momentarily opponents beginning at 50%, while its slower speed enables Luigi to fire multiple Ice Balls in immediate succession. True to its name, Burial Header grounded opponents, but also covers much more vertical height, descends much faster, and has much less landing lag.

However, it deals much less damage and lacks KO potential. Mach Cyclone covers almost no horizontal distance, and possesses a and a concluding hitbox instead of multiple hitboxes. However, it covers a tremendous amount of vertical distance, while its lone hitbox is very powerful, making it very useful for edge-guarding. Aside from these, the rest of Luigi's custom moves are generally not worth using because of their advantages being situational at best. Overall, Luigi can be a force to be reckoned with as long as his significant flaws are circumvented.

Although his tournament representation has lowered somewhat following update 1.1.1's nerf to his down throw, Luigi has continued to achieve impressive results in tournaments regardless. Changes from Brawl [ ] Luigi has been significantly in the transition from Brawl to SSB4. The combination of his improved mobility and the changes to canceling collectively grant him one of the most potent and consistent combo games among the cast. Luigi's neutral game has also been buffed in numerous ways aside from his improved mobility: neutral attack is better at spacing, late neutral aerial is much better at starting combos when 'd, forward aerial and have longer ranges, and dash grab has much less lag.

The majority of Luigi's damage output has decreased, which both contributes to his combo game and slightly worsens his KO potential. Up tilt is the best example of this ambivalence: it has much better combo potential than in Brawl, but cannot function even as a situational KOing option. However, since alleviates Luigi's weakened KOing options to the point of making them only slightly less effective than in Brawl, his lower damage output is ultimately a mixed bag instead of a definitive nerf. However, Luigi also received some. The changes to shield mechanics significantly hinder his already problematic potential, while a handful of his attacks have shorter durations, increased lag and/or smaller hitboxes. Lastly, Luigi's recovery has worsened because of and each covering noticeably less distance.

Overall, Luigi's buffs heavily outweigh his nerfs, and have enabled him to attain consistent success in competitive play. Aesthetics [ ] • Due to the aesthetic used in SSB4, Luigi has a sleeker design, and his overall color scheme is more vibrant. His overalls' pant legs are also no longer rolled up around his ankles.

Altogether, these changes make Luigi appear virtually identical to his appearance as of. • Luigi is significantly more expressive. He now smiles during his defeated/ animation, sports a toothy grin during and the last hits of his neutral attack and, smiles nervously during his pivot grab, sports an oohing expression during Luigi Cyclone's loop hits, appears alarmed during his down aerial and, and winces depressingly during his back and up aerials, standing and dash grabs, back throw, and childish punching. Luigi also now sports humorously quirky expressions during his and up.

Attributes [ ] • Luigi faster (1.34 → 1.5). • Luigi's is higher (0.022 → 0.024), although it is still the lowest in the game. • Luigi's is faster (0.7332 → 0.7341766). • Luigi's faster (1.22 → 1.25). This slightly improves his vertical endurance, but makes him slightly more susceptible to combos.

• Luigi's speed is faster (1.708 → 2.0). This improves his air game and makes him less susceptible to juggling. • Luigi's is higher (0.065 → 0.075). This improves his aerial mobility and somewhat alleviates the drawbacks of his. • is lower and is higher, improving his air game and aerial mobility.

• Dash's animation has slightly changed. Luigi now has a slightly different stance upon skidding to a stop. • Jump's animation has changed. Luigi now performs the, one of his signature techniques that debuted in and has appeared in a number of other Mario games. • has updated sound effects.

Luigi's footsteps now emit the running sound effect from • Dash attack makes a higher-pitched sound effect. • Victory pose's animation has slightly changed. Luigi now keeps both eyes open during his finger gun victory pose, instead of winking each eye in sync with the direction he sways his hands toward. Ground attacks [ ] • Neutral attack's last hit has increased base knockback (50 → 65), improving its spacing potential. It also has decreased ending lag (frame 32 → 31). • Neutral attack's last hit's animation has slightly changed.

Luigi now moves slightly farther forward to perform the hip thrust. This new animation increases its range, but increases its start-up lag (frame 5 → 6). • Forward tilt deals 2% less damage (10% → 8%), hindering its spacing potential.

It also has a shorter duration (frames 5-10 → 5-7). • Up tilt deals 3% less damage (9% → 6%), although its knockback was somewhat compensated (30 (base)/127 (growth) → 8/150). This significantly improves its combo potential, but significantly hinders its KO potential. • Down tilt deals 1% less damage (9% → 8%), although its knockback was somewhat compensated (30 (base)/50 (growth) → 20/65). Additionally, due to its angle being altered (270° → ), down tilt no longer grounded opponents. Lastly, its chance of has decreased (35% → 25%). Altogether, these changes significantly hinder its utility.

• Down tilt has decreased ending lag (frame 35 → 27). • Dash attack's loop hits have altered knockback (1 (base)/80 (growth) → 26/10) and their angles have been altered (361° → 65°/10°). This makes its hits connect together significantly better. Dash attack's last hit also has increased knockback (50 (base)/100 (growth) → 60/128), improving its spacing potential. • The weakening of makes dash attack significantly more difficult to escape from. • Forward smash now deals consistent damage (15% (upward)/14% (non-angled)/13% (downward) → 15% (all)), although its knockback growth was compensated (135 (all) → 121 (upward)/116 (non-angled)/117 (downward)). • Forward smash has increased ending lag (frame 29 → 42).

• Non-angled forward smash's angle has been altered (55° → 53°). • Forward smash now has a effect, instead of a effect. • The 19% damage increase to and the increase to significantly improve forward smash's shield pressuring potential. • Sweetspotted up smash deals 1% less damage (15% → 14%), slightly hindering its KO potential. • Down smash deals less damage (16% (legs)/17% (body) → 14%/15%), although its knockback growth was compensated (80 (both) → 85 (front)/104 (back)). It also has increased start-up lag (frame 3 → 6 (front), frame 12 → 14 (back)).

• Down smash's second hit's angle has been altered (70° → 60°). Aerial attacks [ ] • Clean neutral aerial deals 2% less damage (14% → 12%) and has decreased knockback growth (100 → 90), hindering its KO potential. It also has a shorter duration (frames 3-6 → 3-5). Neutral aerial has smaller hitboxes (4.5u/4.5u (clean/late) → 4.5u/4u (clean), 3u/2.5u (late)). • Late neutral aerial's angle has been altered (90° → 80°), significantly improving its combo potential.

• Neutral, back and down aerials have increased landing lag (10 frames → 14 (neutral), 12 frames → 16 (back), 12 frames → 20 (down)). • Due to Luigi's lower short hop, neutral and back aerials can no longer be performed twice with a short hop. • Forward aerial deals 2% less damage (10% → 8%).

This improves its combo potential, but hinders its edge-guarding potential. • Forward aerial has increased range, improving its approach potential. • Clean back aerial deals more damage (12% → 14%), improving its KO potential. • Clean back aerial has a shorter duration (frames 6-10 → 6-7) and its legs' sweetspot is now a sourspot that deals 4% less damage (12% → 8%), hindering its reliability.

Additionally, late back aerial has smaller hitboxes (4.5u/5.76u → 4u/5u). Lastly, back aerial has increased ending lag (frame 37 → 46). • Up aerial deals 2% less damage (13% → 11%). This slightly improves its combo potential, but slightly hinders its juggling potential. • Down aerial deals less damage (11% → 10% (clean)/8% (late)). Clean down aerial also has less knockback growth (100 → 80) and a smaller hitbox (5u → 2.5u) compared to the previous hitboxes. • Due to consisting of a clean hitbox and late hitbox instead of consistent hitboxes, down aerial now meteor smashes opponents based on timing, instead of positioning.

When coupled with the removal of, this significantly improves its reliability. Throws/other attacks [ ] • Dash grab has decreased start-up (frame 12 → 8) and ending lag (frame 39 → 36). • All grabs' animations have changed. Luigi now reaches out with one hand, instead of using both to clinch the opponent.

• Pummel deals 0.2% more damage (3% → 3.2%). • The removal of significantly hinders forward throw's damage racking potential. • Back throw deals 2% less damage (12% → 10%), hindering its KO potential. • Luigi has a new down throw, a. Compared to the previous down throw, it has altered knockback (75 (base)/30 (growth) → 55/83).

When coupled with the changes to canceling, this makes it significantly better for combos at low to high percentages. • Floor attacks deal 1% more damage (6% → 7%).

• Luigi has a new, a double-footed legsweep. Special moves [ ] • Due to consisting of a clean hitbox and a late hitbox instead of a consistent hitbox, no longer deals consistent damage (6% → 6% (clean)/5% (late)). It also has increased ending lag (frame 41 → 44).

• Fireball has increased range. • Fireball is lower pitched.

• Uncharged deals ≈1% more damage (5% → ≈6%). Green Missile's hitbox has also been re-positioned to cover Luigi's entire head, instead of only his neck. • Fully charged Green Missile deals ≈5% less damage (26% → ≈21%). • Holding a fully charged grounded Green Missile past a certain point will now cancel it, instead of holding the charge indefinitely. Upon being overcharged, Luigi will be vulnerable very briefly. This allows Luigi to no longer be stuck in a position that could potentially be punishable, but makes it impossible to use Green Missile to stall opponents and thus force them to go into Luigi's line of fire if they want to continue fighting. • Green Missile's chance of misfiring has decreased (12.5% → 10%).

This improves its safety while near edges, but hinders its offensive and recovery potential. • Green Missile has updated sound effects.

• The 19% damage increase to shields and the increase to shieldstun significantly improve fully charged Green Missile, misfired Green Missile and sweetspotted 's shield pressuring potentials. • Grounded sweetspotted Super Jump Punch has altered knockback (70 (base)/73 (growth) → 50/77), hindering its KO potential. • Grounded sweetspotted Super Jump Punch's angle has been altered (90° → 88°).

• Grounded Super Jump Punch covers less vertical distance, slightly improving its safety. • Aerial Super Jump Punch has increased start-up (frame 6 → 8) and landing lag (35 frames → 40). It also covers less horizontal distance after ascending and significantly less vertical distance, hindering its recovery potential. • Due to consisting of six hits instead of eight, deals 3% less damage (12% → 9%).

However, its last hit's knockback was compensated (60 (base)/115 (growth) → 80/130 (grounded)/120 (aerial)). Luigi Cyclone also has increased start-up lag (frame 7 → 10).

• Luigi Cyclone's loop hits' angles have been altered (160°/20°/90° → ). This makes them connect together better. • The weakening of SDI makes Luigi Cyclone significantly more difficult to escape from. • Aerial Luigi Cyclone covers significantly less vertical distance. It is also very difficult to ascend with without a jump, and requires significantly more button mashing in order to ascend. Altogether, these changes hinder its recovery potential.

• Luigi has a new,. Luigi equips the and nearby opponents into it before powerfully ejecting them. Unlike, Poltergust 5000 traps nearby opponents, deals considerable damage, and has very high knockback, instead of affecting a very wide area and granting Luigi easy openings to deal more damage and/or possibly score KOs.

Update history [ ] Luigi has been nerfed via game updates. Although he received a number of buffs, most notably to down smash, down aerial and, the nerfs that he received overwhelmingly offset them.

Update made 's damage output inconsistent by making it consist of a clean hitbox and a late hitbox like 's, which in turn hinders its zoning potential. Update further nerfed Fireball by increasing its ending lag, and almost completely removed down tilt's set-up potential by altering its angle. Most notably, update altered down throw's knockback to the point of removing Luigi's guaranteed KO set-ups. Luigi was also indirectly nerfed by the updates. The changes to shield mechanics brought about by updates 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 make it even more difficult for him to punish from because of his very low traction, and they do not benefit his offense because the overwhelming majority of his moveset does not have a noticeable amount of.

Although these nerfs have resulted in Luigi becoming somewhat less effective than he was during the initial release of SSB4, his viability has remained largely intact. • Forward smash damage: 14% → 15% • Forward smash side angle: 55 → 53 • Down smash angle: 70 → 60 • Down smash knockback scaling: 80 → 100 • Forward aerial hand hitbox radius: 4.8 → 5.6 • Order of hitboxes of forward aerial reversed (no practical effect).

• Super Jump Punch (default) ground sweetspot radius: 1.6 → 1.7 • Super Jump Punch (default) ground sweetspot z-offset: 6.1 → 7.0 • Super Jump Punch (default) air sweetspot radius: 2.1 → 2.2 • Super Jump Punch (default) air sweetspot z-offset: 4.7 → 5.5 • deals 1% less damage the farther it goes: 6% → 5% (late). • Forward aerial deals less damage (9% → 8%). While this slightly worsens its edgeguarding abilities, it also slightly improves its combo abilities. • 's ending lag is increased (total: 40 → 43 frames).

• Fiery Jump Punch (custom 2) knockback growth increased (40 → 50). • 's default grounded hitbox size increased (1.7u → 2.2u). • Super Jump Punch's default aerial hitbox size increased (2.2u → 2.7u).

• Down tilt's angle altered from 74° to the Sakurai angle significantly hindering its function as a combo starter or set-up. • Down tilt's knockback growth increased (54 → 65). • Down tilt's ending lag is decreased (29 → 26). • The changes to mechanics have been detrimental to Luigi, as the increase in makes it much harder for him to punish from due to his already low. Additionally, only a very select few of his moves benefit from these changes, with the most notable example being a fully charged or misfired.

• Down throw's knockback has been altered (75 base/30 growth → 55 base/83 growth). The new knockback scaling removes Luigi's most notable follow-ups (very few moves are now only semi-guaranteed KO set-ups), particularly outside of medium percents. • Down aerial spike hitbox increased (1.8 → 2.5). • Down smash knockback growth increased (80/100 → 82/104 first/second strikes) • Fiery Jump Punch hitbox size increased (3.8 → 4.0).

• Fiery Jump Punch horizontal displacement (6.4 → 7.0). • Luigi Cyclone initial hitbox increased (1.0 → 1.3). • Luigi Cyclone angle 90° → 89°.

• Aerial Luigi Cyclone final hitbox growth decreased 130 → 120. • Clothesline Tornado damage increased (8% → 10%/12% depending on the hitbox.) • The sweetspot hitbox is larger. • The sweetspot has more base knockback: 60 → 100. • The sweetspot has drastically decreased growth: 120 → 70. Moveset [ ] • Luigi can. Name Damage Description 3% A followed by a. It hits on frame 2, its last hit slightly moves Luigi forward, and it has a decent overall damage output.

These traits makes it a safe, yet reliable damage racking option. However, its first hit is also reliable for or combos, with follow-ups including tilt attacks, down smash, standing grab and, the latter of which is effective even at high percentages. Its first two hits are based on the + Punch + combo from Super Mario 64. 2% 5% 8% A wheel kick. It can be angled and is useful for jab locking.

Due to its average damage output and almost nonexistent base knockback, however, it only becomes reliable for spacing beginning at 55%. Download Game Ps2 Gratis Untuk Hp. 6% An overhead swipe. Due to its almost nonexistent base knockback, very high knockback growth and minimal overall lag, it is very useful for combos and juggling, similarly to 's up tilt. Compared to Mario's, it has longer horizontal range and is more effective at setting up aerial combos.

However, its ending lag is very slightly higher than Mario's. When coupled with its knockback values, its combo into itself at 0% is less safe compared to Mario's. 8% A low-angle back kick. It can potentially opponents at low percentages, and is able to hit opponents that are trying to grab the edge. However, it is much less effective for set-ups than in Brawl because of its lower chance of tripping and the removal of its ability to grounded opponents.

1% (hits 1-6), 2% (hit 7) A series of rapid, childish punches. Due to it hitting on frame 4, it is the third fastest dash attack in the game, surpassed only by and 's. It hits multiple times, while its last hit's very high knockback growth also makes it decent at spacing. However, it has a very punishable amount of ending lag. 15% A knifehand thrust. In addition to being Luigi's most damaging smash attack, it has very high knockback growth and can be angled like his forward tilt. While near the edge of in, it KOs middleweights at 99% when angled upward, and at 101% when not angled or angled downward.

In comparison, it KOs middleweights at 91% when angled upward, and at 92% when not angled or angled downward in. However, it hits on frame 12, which is the highest amount of start-up lag out of Luigi's smash attacks. It also has noticeable ending lag and very short range, although the latter can be somewhat alleviated with, thanks to Luigi's pivot being tied with 's as the second longest in the game. 14% (head), 12% (body) An upward arcing headbutt. It hits on frame 9, which is quite fast for a smash attack. Its sweetspot is located on Luigi's head and is strong enough to KO middleweights at 121% from anywhere on Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 112% in the Wii U version. Like Mario and 's up smashes, it renders his head throughout its duration.

It can also function well as a, thanks to Luigi's very low traction. However, its sourspot is much weaker because of its lower damage output, which also makes it very unreliable for KOing.

The angle at which opponents are launched changes depending on when they were hit during its animation: opponents will be launched forward when they are behind Luigi, whereas they will be launched backward when they are in front of him. 14% (legs), 15% (body) A modified version of the Sweep Kick from Super Mario 64. Due to it hitting on frame 6, it has the lowest amount of start-up lag out of Luigi's smash attacks. It also hits on both sides, which makes it very useful for punishing rolls. Its back hit's very high knockback growth enables its legs' hitbox to KO middleweights at 115% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 109% in the Wii U version.

Although its body hitbox KOs slightly earlier, it is difficult to hit with. In addition, its front hit is much weaker because of its average knockback growth. 12% (clean), 6% (late) A flying kick. Due to it hitting on frame 3, it has the lowest amount of start-up lag out of Luigi's aerials, and makes it a very useful anti-pressure option.

It is also the only in the game that has a vertical launching angle. As a result, its clean hitbox KOs middleweights at 122% while near Final Destination's upper in the 3DS version, and at 118% in the Wii U version. In comparison, its late hitbox is a very useful combo starter and approach option when 'd.

8% A downward. It is a reliable follow-up from down throw at low to medium percentages, and is also useful for edge-guarding or approaching. Its hitbox is positioned not only on Luigi's hand, but also slightly around his body. Unlike the hand portion, the body portion of its hitbox launches opponents in the opposite direction. 14% (clean feet), 8% (clean legs, late) A. It hits on frame 6, while its clean feet's hitbox has both an impressive damage output and very high knockback growth. These traits make it one of Luigi's most reliable KOing options, as its clean feet hitbox KOs middleweights at 119% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 108% in the Wii U version.

It is also useful for approaching when used as part of a. Like forward aerial, its clean legs and late hitboxes are positioned slightly around Luigi's body up to his front side, and have the same quirk of launching the opponent in the opposite direction if the body portion of their hitboxes hits them. 11% (clean), 7% (late) A bicycle kick. It is useful for combos like Mario's up aerial, and is Luigi's only reliable follow-up from down throw at high percentages. Thanks to it having the lowest amount of landing lag out of his aerials, its clean hitbox can start combos at low percentages when SHFF'd. However, its launching is lower than Mario's, which makes it less effective at combos and juggling past low percentages. 10% (clean), 8% (late) A diagonal corkscrew dropkick.

Its sweetspot is a meteor smash, though it only lasts for 1 frame. Unlike in previous games, its sweetspot is now based on timing instead of positioning, making it much easier to land. When coupled with down throw, its meteor smash can extend combos, or even act as a KO combo while near the edge.

Conversely, its late hitbox is less effective for extending combos. Despite having much higher knockback growth, it is also less effective for edge-guarding because of its slightly lower damage output.

— Reaches out. Luigi's standing grab has average range. However, each of his grabs have minimal lag, with his standing grab being particularly notable for being the fastest in the game.

Thanks to his pivot being tied with Little Mac's as the second longest in the game, Luigi's is also very effective. 3.2% A headbutt. Moderately slow, but tied with 's as the fourth most damaging pummel in the game. 9% Spins the opponent around once and throws them forward. Very fast and Luigi's second most damaging throw, but has very minimal utility outside of dealing damage.

Its only other benefits are acting either as an edge-guard set-up at high percentages, or as a set-up into dash attack. However, this combo is only effective against lightweights and middleweights at 0%, and against heavyweights until low percentages, depending on the latter's DI.

10% (throw), 6% (collateral) Spins the opponent by their legs three times before throwing them backward. It also can hit other opponents while spinning, which deals minor damage and knockback. Due to its damage output lowering since Brawl, its KO potential has been toned down. However, it is still a reliable KOing option, as it KOs middleweights at 151% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 145% in the Wii U version. It is based on the throw that uses against in Super Mario 64. 8% Heaves the opponent directly overhead with both hands. Like his forward throw, it is fast, but has very minimal utility outside of dealing damage.

Its only other benefit is acting as a set-up into a short hopped forward aerial and a short hopped, which are only effective on heavyweights and fast-fallers at 0%-10%. 6% Shoves the opponent under himself and them. It is Luigi's most useful move and one of the most effective combo starters in the game, thanks to its below-average base knockback, average knockback growth, and diagonal launching angle. It can combo reliably against any opponent; in regard to middleweights, follow-ups include forward smash at 0%-10%; up tilt, up smash, any aerial attack and Luigi Cyclone at low percentages; forward and clean back aerial at medium percentages; and clean up aerial at medium to high percentages.

Although its combo potential wanes past 100% and/or while Luigi is affected by a high level of, Luigi Cyclone can also function as a mix-up against an opponent's air dodge at high percentages. 7% Performs a modified version of the Sweep Kick from Super Mario 64 before getting up. 7% Punches behind himself and then in front of himself while getting up.

5% Performs a wheel kick while getting up. 7% Performs a double-footed legsweep while climbing up. 6% (clean), 5% (late) Throws a. It is fairly, which enables it to pressure, zone, hinder approaches, and act as a set-up for a grab. Unlike in previous installments, it now deals less damage as it covers more distance, similarly to Mario's Fireball. Due to being unaffected by gravity, it is less suitable at edge-guarding compared to Mario's. Bouncing Fireball 6% (clean), 5% (mid), 4% (late) Functions almost identically to Mario's Fireball, although its bouncing arc is more vertical compared to his.

However, it has more ending lag, and its late hit deals slightly less damage. Ice Ball 4% Throws an. It opponents beginning at 50%, but deals slightly less damage and has slightly more start-up lag and slightly shorter range.

It also travels slower, but this allows Luigi to fire multiple Ice Balls in very quick succession. ≈6% (uncharged), ≈21% (fully charged), 25% (misfired) Crouches and then shoots himself forward to perform a flying. It takes 1.17 seconds (70 frames) to fully charge, but deals impressive damage when fully charged, to the point that it KOs middleweights at 91% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 82% in the Wii U version.

If charged on the ground for too long, the charge is canceled, which can allow for. It also has a 10% chance to misfire, which deals considerably more damage and has much higher knockback growth, to the point that it KOs middleweights at 50% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 42% in the Wii U version. A misfired Green Missile also grants intangibility on frames 18-22, and always travels the same distance regardless of the charge.

However, its considerable ending lag makes it punishable whether it is used for offense or recovering, which makes very important in order to use it effectively. Floating Missile ≈4.3% (uncharged), ≈18% (fully charged), 23% (misfired) Flies directly straight, which improves its accuracy, and charges faster. Although it deals slightly less damage, this is largely negligible, as it is still strong enough to KO reliably when fully charged or misfired. When fully charged, it KOs middleweights at 102% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 100% in the Wii U version. In comparison, a misfired Floating Missile KOs them at 52% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 50% in the Wii U version.

Quick Missile ≈5.15% (uncharged), ≈20% (fully charged), 20% (misfired) Flies much farther and faster, which make it much better for recovering. However, it takes longer to charge, and it a misfired Quick Missile is much weaker than the misfired versions of Green Missile and Floating Missile. It is also much more punishable, thanks to having noticeably more ending lag, and Luigi sliding upon the ground after landing. Although it deals slightly less damage, it is still strong enough to KO reliably when fully charged or misfired. When fully charged, it KOs middleweights at 97% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 87% in the Wii U version. In comparison, a misfired Quick Missile KOs them at 85% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 63% in the Wii U version. 25% (grounded sweetspot), 20% (aerial sweetspot), 1% (sourspot) A jumping uppercut.

Its grounded sweetspot emits a sound effect upon hitting, whereas its aerial sweetspot does not. Its grounded sweetspot's outstanding damage output makes it capable of KOing grounded middleweights at 64% from anywhere on Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 57% in the Wii U version. Its aerial sweetspot is larger, yet weaker, and does not emit a ping sound effect upon hitting. Despite its lower damage output, it is nevertheless strong enough to KO middleweights at 99% while near the upper blast line of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 77% in the Wii U version.

Both sweetspots also grant intangibility on frames 8-10. However, it is very punishable because of its considerable ending lag and abysmally weak sourspot.

In addition, its vertical recovery potential is most effective when preceded by a. Fiery Jump Punch 18% (grounded sweetspot), 15% (aerial sweetspot), 1% (sourspot) Covers more horizontal distance, grants slightly more intangibility, and its sweetspots are easier to hit. However, it covers less vertical distance and has noticeable ending lag, which make it less ideal for recovering.

Its sweetspots also deal considerably less damage, but are powerful regardless, as both of them KO middleweights at 109% from anywhere on Final Destination in the 3DS version. Unlike Super Jump Punch, it launches opponents at a slight angle, instead of directly upward. It is comparable to how Luigi's Super Jump Punch functioned in Melee. Burial Header 8% (descent), 8% (landing), 1% (sourspot) Covers significantly more vertical distance, to the point that it allows him to reach the top platform on, and even more vertical distance when preceded by a double jump. Upon descending, Luigi grounded opponents, and diagonally launches aerial ones. When coupled with its much lower ending lag, its burying hitbox allows for reliable follow-ups.

However, it lacks KO potential because of its significantly lower damage outputs. 1.5% (hits 1-5), 3% (hit 6) Rapidly spins around, trapping the opponent and damaging them with a series of and before assuming a to launch them. Like, it enables Luigi to move along the ground, albeit at a much faster speed, which makes make it decent as a surprise approach option.

While in the air, button mashing grants it two special quirks: it will enable Luigi to ascend after his first jump, which also carries his double jump's momentum to enable an easier ascent, or it can act as a pseudo-, though the latter technique is quite difficult to perform. Outside of these two quirks, its last hit's very knockback growth enables it to KO middleweights at 135% while near the upper blast line of Final Destination in the 3DS version, and at 119% in the Wii U version. It resembles the.

Mach Cyclone 6% Covers significantly more vertical distance, especially when button mashed, and has slightly less start-up lag. Unlike Luigi Cyclone, it consists of a and a hitbox, the latter of which deals twice as much damage and has significantly more knockback than Luigi Cyclone's last hit. Altogether, these traits make it more efficient at recovering and edge-guarding compared to Luigi Cyclone, as it KOs middleweights at 75% while near the left/right blast lines of Final Destination in the 3DS version. However, it does not cover any horizontal distance, cannot punish rolls because of its windbox, and has more ending lag. Clothesline Cyclone 10% (hit 1), 12% (hit 2) Deals more damage and has much higher knockback. Its first hit has deceptive range and is a semi-spike, which allows it hinder approaches.

Conversely, its last hit launches opponents vertically and is extremely powerful, as it KOs middleweights at 95% from anywhere on Final Destination in the 3DS version. However, its first hit does not KO middleweights until 168% while near the edge of Final Destination in the 3DS version, whereas its second hit is very difficult to land because of its first hit's long duration.

Additionally, it has significantly more start-up and ending lag, which make it unusable for recovering or edge-guarding. It is comparable to how Luigi Cyclone functioned in SSB. 30% (maximum captured), 10% (ejection) Wields the to nearby opponents into it before powerfully ejecting them diagonally.
