~~===Tier placement and history===~~

Luigi was once ranked quite high on the [[tier list]], hovering around positions 6 to 9 for about the first year of ''Melee''{{'}}s metagame. He then saw a large drop to 12th, which can be attributed to his low [[traction]] leading to slippery movement, predictable [[recovery]], and short [[reach]], which many players of top tier characters began adapting to and countering in their own metagames, resulting in worse matchups for Luigi; he was also seen as outclassed by both {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} and {{SSBM|Mario}}, who either had more power or a less risky [[combo]] game, respectively. He then fell to the top of low tier for many years to come. However, with excellent performances by dedicated professionals such as {{Sm|Eddy Mexico}} and {{Sm|Abate}} showing Luigi's extremely quick mobility and approach with the [[wavedash]] and waveland, as well as his great aerial game and KO power despite his poor reach, opinions of Luigi began to change. In recent tournaments such as [[EVO 2013]] and [[The Big House 5]], Luigi players have placed relatively high with lacking similar performances by Mario, resulting in Luigi pulling ahead back into the middle tier, three spots above Mario at 12th place. Today, Luigi is still a solid middle tier character who has a relatively small, but strong, player base, and he makes decent impressions in large tournaments.
