Luigi (SSBU)/Side special

Overview
Green Missile is by far Luigi's most situational move. The hitbox covers his neck, face and upper torso, but does not completely cover his head, making the move easy to intercept, especially with disjointed attacks. Due to his poor air speed, Luigi will often have to use it when trying to recover, making his recovery somewhat predictable. It can be charged and, at full charge, it travels at a long distance and deals high damage and knockback.

By using a smash input, it gains a bit of charge by default.

The move has a 10% chance of misfiring. This makes the move faster and stronger, and the hitbox covers more of Luigi's torso. However, it does not give any height, making it easy to get stuck under the stage after its use.

Above a certain speed, it has a 50% of getting Luigi stuck into a wall. The minimum speed is very low and possible to reach with a smash input. When inside the wall, Luigi is completely vulnerable for 91 frames (just above a second and a half).

Likewise, it skips to frame 61 upon hitting an opponent, or a wall if Luigi does not get stuck on it. Jostling is also disabled from frame 22 onward.

Trivia

 * The scripts for the regular version of the move have a ledge grab window for both sides set to activate from frame 39 onward. However, for unknown reasons, it does not actually take effect in-game.
