Luigi

Although basically the same as Mario,
there are a few differences and quirks,
as he's not really the heroic type.

使えないという人もいれば
最高だという人もいる。
両極端なキャラになっているのは、
性能だけでなく、
キャラ自体が持つ魅力のせいだろうか?

Luigi and Mario: a summary of differences

1: Body shape (= hurtbox sizes)
2: Jumping ability
3: Falling speed (horizontal, vertical, and dive)
4: Slipperiness
5: Colour of standard special move & flies directly sideways
6: For the up special move, the damage after the powerful first frame is 1
7: Down special move is one hit
8: Taunt pose
9: Dash attack
10: Strong down attack
11: Voice (Luigi's is higher, some lines are different)
12: Colour
13: Eyes
14: Popularity
Some things such as shield size are slightly different, but omitted.
Choose whichever of Mario and Luigi you prefer.

Taunt (L button)

  • There is a hidden hitbox in this taunt (on the foot).
  • Its knockback is low, and it's hard to use in a match,
    but if mastered...

I call this innovation.

Jump (tap up or press C)

  • Luigi's jumps, compared to Mario's, reach higher
    and fall slower.
  • Although it's higher and slower, his horizontal air speed is low,
    so horizontal distance does not extend much.
  • Despite this, Mario and Luigi still
    weigh the same, so their knockback resistance does not change.

Running brake (release stick to neutral while running)

  • If you brake while running,
    it can easily be seen how slippery Luigi is compared to Mario.
  • Each character has a defined "friction",
    that influences their movement behaviour. Luigi has the lowest friction.

Everywhere Punch (dash attack)

  • Luigi's dash attack consists of throwing punches here and there.
  • It isn't intended to be used too much, honestly.
    It may fix a bad habit of relying on dash attacks.

Low Kick (strong down attack)

  • A strong attack, Mario extends his foot while spinning,
    while Luigi extends his foot straight out.
  • Fast to put out, but no power. A move that should not be used much.

These are a little bit different.

Drill Kick (down air attack)

  • Continuous aerial attack.
  • If you hit a grounded opponent with this, then as you land
    use Luigi's strong Fire Jump Punch.
  • Try not to land too early.

Fireball (normal special move)

  • Luigi's Fireball flies straight ahead.
  • While it's easy to hit opponents with Mario's Fireball,
    Luigi's Fireball finds it easier to block enemy fire.
    Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
  • Power is the same as Mario's.

Super Jump Punch (up special move)

  • High-risk high-return,
    this move can become an important factor for Luigi.

    彼はこの1発にすべてをかけているというウワサあり。
  • When it hits the moment it's used
    it becomes a powerful Fire Jump Punch.

    Its power approaches the Falcon Punch.
  • It then becomes extremely weak, dealing 2 damage once,
    and only producing one coin.
  • On the ground, overlapping characters push away, so it's more likely to hit in the air.
  • Although you could target fallen enemies,
    note that fallen enemies take half damage.

This is the moment!

Luigi Cyclone (down special move)

  • Instead of the Mario Tornado's continuous hitting,
    this does a lot of damage.
  • Again, this can be good or bad.
