Changes to Luigi's Super Jump Punch causes the technique to instead send the two Luigis straight upward, and the team can even jump up beyond the upper [[blast line]]. Applied usage of the technique can also allow for recovery options, though the lack of horizontal distance from Super Jump Punch makes this a situational use. The Luigis do not KO each other since Super Jump Punch has no [[knockback]]. Similar variants of the technique involving attacks like {{SSBM|Link}}'s [[Spin Attack]] and {{SSBM|Samus}}' [[Screw Attack (move)|Screw Attack]] end up KOing the characters when they cross the blast line. | ||

In ''Ultimate'', like ''Melee'', the Luigi ladder does not KO at the upper blast line, however, this property invokes a glitch. As the two Luigi's continually rise, the character markers on the edge of the screen start to leave the middle of the top of the screen and start going to the sides. Once they reaching the sides, they go to the bottom of the screen and begin to come to the middle as the Luigis rise. Adding to that, the character markers show the many sprites of the Luigis as they rise.

In addition to this, if at least one Luigi is on his last stock, the [[Finish Zoom]] effect will constantly play after the Luigis reach the upper blast line, however neither of the Luigis will get KOed. | ||

This is similar to the Pac-Ladder. One [[Mega Man (SSB4)|Mega Man]] player uses [[Rush Coil]], launching them and an adjacent teammate into the air. The one who used the up special must jump up to the same height as the other player, who then uses their Coil, restoring the double jump and up special of the first player. Because Rush Coil has no hitboxes, this doesn't require Team Attack to be switched off or on, and never damages the players using the ladder. This, combined with its quick height gain compared to most other ladders, makes it arguably the most effective. An video demonstrating this ladder can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kxwAcgOVRM&t=8s here.] | This is similar to the Pac-Ladder.
