Luigi (SSBM)/Neutral aerial

Overview
Luigi's neutral aerial, known as "Plumber's Boot", is a sex kick. It comes out on frame 3, the move lasts longer and gets weaker the longer it's out, and it has a fast landing lag of 7 frames when successfully L-cancelled. A notable difference to other sex kicks is the angle it sends opponents: specifically, 90 degrees straight up. This, combined with Luigi's difficulty in approaching from the air, changes the role of the move from that of most sex kicks (being approaching moves/neutral openers), to that of several roles: A combo starter, a combo extender, and a combo breaker.

The move's fast startup and large priority means that throwing the move out has a decent chance to beat the opponent's next combo move, and even lead to a reversal, as it's a good combo starter. In addition, because the move launches players upward, it can be used to juggle opponents, especially fast-fallers, with the strong hit being used at early percents and the weak hit at mid-to-late percents mixed with other launchers such as up tilt or down smash to unstale it.
