| Luigi runs and punches like a maniac. It deals moderate damage, but it isn't very useful, as the last hit leaves him wide open for a smash attack, grab, or other finishing move.

| Smash Forward {{plus}} {{gc|A}}
| Smash Forward {{plus}} {{gc|A}}
| A powerful attack that looks similar to a martial arts knife hand strike. It has the higest knockback scaling out of any attack in the game (135). Due to this radical knockback scaling, it is quite strong, able to kill under 130%.

| Swings his head forward, hitting enemies primarily above him. Low range, but powerful. Like Mario and Dr. Mario, it has an up and behind tragectory, perfect for aerial comboes. It is possible to buffer it in at the end of a wavedash, providing an alternate vertical launcher to Luigi's common wavedash to down smash approach.

| Luigi's is the only taunt in the game that can do damage. His taunt won't always hurt enemies, but the few times it does, it deals an incredible 1% of damage, with almost no knockback to speak of. Strangely, it is also a useful spike if your opponent is grabbing the edge. The easiest way to hit with this attack is to do it while running. It's very rarely seen in competiteve play, due to it being slow and very weak.

| Luigi sticks his leg out in front of him. Like his down smash, it does completely vertical knockback, making it a very flexible attack for KOing and comboing. It is the most powerful [[smashwiki:Sex kick|sex kick]] in the game, and is the third most powerful neutral aerial overall.

| He swings his feet behind him.  Somewhat fast, okay range, sends enemies sideways. Like Dr. Mario, Luigi's b-air has very high base knockback, making it a good edgeguarder, and okay for damage racking.

| Luigi spins around. If the enemy is placed around Luigi's limbs, it can work as a Meteor Smash. If it connects anywhere but his limbs, it has high horizontal knockback like his f-air, making it a very flexible move, especially for edgguarding.

| Luigi does a backflip, swinging his leg primarily in front of and above him. Sends enemies up and forward some. Fast, low knockback. Isn't quite as good at juggling as Mario's, but it's very good against foes on platforms above Luigi, or it can be used as a vertical launcher to set up a finisher.

| Luigi uppercuts an enemy, and if an enemy is very close to Luigi, he'll do a fiery uppercut with 25% damage that can KO even heavyweights like Bowser under 75%. If not, the enemy only gets 1%. Unlike Mario's/Doc's {{gc|up|control}} {{plus}} {{gc|B}}, this move only goes straight up.

This trick requires two Luigis standing within range of their up-{{gc|B}} attacks, but so that their up-{{gc|B}} does not connect with its fiery sweet-spot. At this point, both Luigis can alternate using their up-{{gc|B}} attack, climbing higher and higher into the air; they will accumulate damage but never die. This tactic can be used as a stall in team tournaments and is usually banned.
