![]() If Luigi is right next to the opponent and does it, it will become a Fire Jump Punch, a move dealing high damage and powerful knockback. Although it is visually similar to Mario's, it functions very differently. Unlike Mario's, it is not affected by gravity and travels forward perfectly straight, even in midair. Slowly gets up and delivers a low kick at the opponent's feet. Luigi pulls himself up from the edge and performs a double-legged kick attack aimed upwards. Grabs opponent by the legs and swings them around three times before tossing them behind him.Īttacks with a sweepkick that hits on both sides. Quickly swings the foe once and tosses them forward. Spins while doing a downwards drill kick. Luigi performs a reverse dropkick in midair. Luigi performs a sex kick attack that gets weaker the longer its out. This attack is faster than Mario's and has good damage and power. Luigi swings both his legs around in a double-leg sweep attack. A very powerful vertical finisher tied with Mario and Jigglypuff for being the strongest up smash in the game. Luigi jumps and delivers a powerful headbutt aimed upwards. Using this attack in a short step will cause Luigi to slide forward a short distance. Despite being powerful, it's the weakest forward smash in the game. Luigi winds up for a second and and unleashes a straight punch ahead. The last hit deals no knockback and is coupled with some ending lag, making this move easily punishable. Luigi delivers a flurry of punches while running forward. This attack has low range and deals low knockback. Luigi sticks one foot out to attack the opponent's feet. Just link Mario's, this attack is a good combo starter, can chain into itself, and can KO at high percentages. ![]() Luigi performs a jumping spinning uppercut. This move can be angled up or down, but all variations deliver the same damage. Taken directly from Mario's attack combo in Super Mario 64. Thus, this moveset will be somewhat redundant to Mario's. He shares almost all of his moves with Mario, albeit a few differences. Moveset Note: Luigi is the only "clone" character in Super Smash Bros. He is considered a great combo with Mario due to their combo\KOing options being near identical, allowing them to combo extensivley. Luigi's primary weaknesses are his poor range and poor air speed, which is why he's usually partnered with someone who could cover those disadvantages (like Captain Falcon or Pikachu). With a teammate to distract opponents, Luigi would gain several opportunities for devastating Fire Jump Punch combos, and his poor approach can be covered by a fast teammate like Fox. Overall, Luigi is considered a decent mid-tier in doubles. He does however have an even matchup against Yoshi and Donkey Kong, and he also does well against Samus and Jigglypuff, hard countering the latter due to his Fire Jump Punch. Luigi overall has poor matchups, being heavily countered by Pikachu and having a 40-60 matchup against six characters in the game. Luigi lacks a particularly powerful KO move outside his Fire Jump Punch, limiting his KO options. Luigi has the highest initial jump in the game, which can be a good thing on stages like Hyrule, but it gives him a high short hop, which further hinders his combo ability, especially since it's also rather slow. The Luigi Cyclone (his down special move) can pseudo-spike most characters as an edgeguarding technique, but this is ineffective against characters who can recover from it quickly, including Pikachu, Mario, and other Luigis. His down aerial is his main combo move, but being a drill, it can be DI'd out of, hindering its effectiveness. Despite this, however, Luigi generally cannot combo well due to his very low air speed. Luigi's Fire Jump Punch is a very powerful KO move, and it can be combo'd into with a down aerial or forward aerial. Luigi has a relatively good recovery - despite being on the more predictable side, his jumps are high and Super Jump Punch travels a fairly high distance, with Luigi Cyclone being an additional recovery option (though it requires very fast button mashing to give distance). He also has a high short hop and short range. Luigi's main problem is his terrible physics - a combination of slow dashing speed, very slow air speed, low traction, and low falling speed gives him very poor mobility and big trouble approaching, even with a projectile in his Fireballs. Many of his attacks are similar to Mario's, although there are differences. Luigi is notable for being the only full clone in Super Smash Bros.
