Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Luigi (Project M)

The eternal understudy is ready for action as he re-inherits his Melee moveset.

Luigi is a middleweight with an effective moveset, seeing as how most of his attacks are surprisingly very powerful and possess decent KO potential.

Luigi is held back, however, by a below-average recovery due to its predictability as a result of his low fall speed; even with the latter in mind, it is still not very good due to Luigi possessing the lowest air speed in the game. Additionally, Luigi's wavedash being the longest in the game comes at the expense of also having the lowest traction, essentially meaning that while Luigi's approach is above-average with wavedashing, it is also far below average without it. Finally, his floatiness makes him among the easiest characters to KO through the ceiling, meaning that you should always avoid attacks with high vertical knockback, even at mid-high percentages.
