Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Luigi: Difference between revisions

The younger of the Mario brothers returns in his first ever appearance as a starter character in Smash. Luigi is similar to his sibling Mario, although he does have many unique moves of his own. Luigi excels at close quarters fighting and comboing, with an array of fast attacks that chain into each other easily. He also possesses several useful KO options. While not as strong has his brother, he still has enough strength to get by, especially with his deadly Super Jump Punch. He also has a very well long-distance albeit somewhat predictable recovery. Luigi's main flaw is his average mobility, with below average speed compounded by awkward movement due to his low traction. Like his brother, Luigi also suffers from range issues, having to get close to use his melee attacks and multitude of combo options. Luigi is not as beginner-friendly as Mario, but if you love stringing combos together, the green-clad Mario brother is certainly a solid pick. While he's slightly inferior to his bro, being 16/56 on the current tier list.
