Overview

Luigi performs a tripping kick attack. At Frame 5, this is Luigi's slowest tilt, although it's still pretty fast. However, this move has many setbacks. Firstly, its hitbox is quite small, which can make it difficult to land in a match. The move also has a high amount of endlag. Finally, its KO potential is nonexistent, only beginning to KO at very high percentages.

Its low knockback does give it some niche uses, however, as at very high percentages it can set up into his up tilt or his aerials; its aforementioned small hitbox and high endlag can make it difficult for this potential to be realized, though.

As a whole, Luigi's down tilt is among his weakest moves, as it'll always be outclassed by many of his safer combo tools, like his down smash or up tilt.
