Description/notes
|
| A, A, A
|
Jab, Punch, Butt Slam. A fast but weak attack.
|
| Forward + A
|
Luigi does a straight kick. Pushes the enemy back.
|
| Dash + A
|
Luigi runs and punches like a maniac. It doesn't do much damage, and it isn't very useful.
|
| Down + A
|
Luigi makes a low kick.
|
| Up + A
|
Luigi uppercuts the opponent. Hits primarily above him.
|
| Smash Forward + A
|
A karate-style punch. It's not very strong, but funny.
|
| Smash Down + A
|
Swings his legs forward and back. More range and faster than his forward smash.
|
| Smash Up + A
|
Swings his head forward, hitting enemies primarily above him. Low range, but powerful.
|
| D-Pad Up
|
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.

Aerial Attacks

|
Description/notes
|
| Neutral A
|
Luigi sticks his leg out in front of him. Unlike most, it gets more powerful the longer it stays out, but not by much.
|
| Forward + A
|
Luigi makes a chop hit. Sends enemies forward; it's a good finishing move.
|
| Backwards + A
|
He swings his feet behind him. Somewhat fast, okay range, sends enemies sideways.
|
| Down + A
|
Luigi spins around. If the enemy is placed around Luigi's limbs, it can work as a Meteor Smash.
|
| Up + A
|
Luigi does a backflip, swinging his leg primarily in front of and above him. Sends enemies up and forward some. Fast, low knockback.

| B
|
Fireball
|
Luigi throws a fireball out in front of him. The fireball only goes straight forward, unlike Mario's fireballs. It isn't very fast and doesn't do much damage.
|
| Up + B
|
Super/Fire Jump Punch
|
Luigi uppercuts an enemy, and if an enemy is very close to Luigi, he'll do a fiery uppercut with 25% damage. If not, the enemy only gets 1%. Unlike Mario's/Doc's Up + B, this move only goes straight up.
|
| Down + B
|
Luigi Cyclone
|
Luigi spins around rapidly, sending enemies every which way. This attack can be used for recovery if the player is tapping the B button very, very fast.
|
| Forward + B
|
Green Missile
|
Luigi flies forward, similar to Pikachu/Pichu's Skull Bash. This move can be charged to go farther and hit harder. There is a 12.5% (one in eight) chance of the Green Missile spontaneously misfiring. The misfire makes Luigi go even farther than usual, deal a lot more damage, and knock back a lot further. It's a much better recovery than his Super/Fire Jump Punch.

Luigi simply throws the enemy up.
|
| Back
|
Luigi swings around several times, throwing the enemy behind him. A respectable kill move.

Advanced Techniques
Luigi Ladder
This trick requires two Luigis standing within range of their up-B attacks, but so that their up-B does not connect with its fiery sweet-spot. At this point, both Luigis can alternate using their up-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.
