As in ''SSB4'', {{iw|wikipedia|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Luigi from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.<!--Do not add that this is the last Smash Bros. game where Charles Martinet voices Luigi. Besides the fact this isn't done for other characters' pages, Jigglypuff and Lucina still use their voice clips from Rachael Lillis and Laura Bailey respectively in the Smash series instead of their current actors, so it's still possible for Martinet's voice to be reused in future Smash games--> | As in ''SSB4'', {{iw|wikipedia|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Luigi from ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Luigi is ranked 39th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the end of B+ tier. This is a | Luigi is ranked 39th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the end of B+ tier. This is a slight drop from his high tier placement ''SSB4'', where he was ranked 18th out of 54 characters. Similarly to [[Mario (SSBU)|his brother]], Luigi has excellent frame data, with low [[startup]] and [[ending lag]] on the majority of his kit, making him a very difficult character to punish. He has an outstanding air game, with one of the best jumping abilities of the roster and strong aerials with fast startup, low ending lag (except neutral and back aerials) and landing lag, and lenient [[auto-cancel]] windows, with all of them being able to auto-cancel from a short hop, and he can autocancel all of them in a short hop fast fall except for neutral aerial. His forward and up aerials in particular have such low ending lag that he can use two forward aerials or two up aerials in a short hop and still autocancel them. Additionally, Luigi boasts incredible combo ability and solid KO power: his [[down throw]] is one of the best combo starters in the game, and allows him to either perform consistent [[zero-to-death]] combos on the vast majority of the roster or set up for a kill via [[Super Jump Punch]], [[Luigi Cyclone]], or a sweetspotted back aerial at high percentages. Finally, Luigi Cyclone's frame 1 [[invincibility]] when used in the air gives Luigi a reliable combo breaker. | ||
However, Luigi still has several noticeable weaknesses. His overall mobility is sluggish, with his [[air speed]] being one of the slowest in the game. Luigi's pitifully slow air speed is an especially painful hindrance, as it makes him susceptible to [[juggling]]. Both of these weaknesses leave Luigi with a poor disadvantage state. Along with his only average grounded mobility at best, his ground game is also further brought down by his below average range, which makes it difficult for him to fight against [[camping]]. In addition, Luigi's recovery, while long-distanced, is very predictable and linear, as [[Green Missile]] doesn't leave him [[helpless]] but only grants him horizontal distance with noticeable ending lag, while Super Jump Punch only travels straight upwards with no horizontal gain, and it also possesses very high landing lag, making him vulnerable to punishes if he fails to grab the ledge. Finally, Luigi Cyclone has lost all of its recovery and gimping potential, as the move's very high ending lag and reduced distance cause him to lose what little recovery distance he got before he can act, removing one of Luigi's strongest options off-stage. | However, Luigi still has several noticeable weaknesses.
