Luigi (ルイージ, Luigi) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was revealed along with the rest of the roster on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Luigi's model features a more subdued color scheme. His hair and clothing now features simple detailing, similar to Brawl. Luigi's model and textures otherwise appear unchanged.
  • Change Like most of the returning roster, Luigi has become much more expressive than in the previous games.
    • Change His eyes during the last pose of his up taunt are now shut, displaying terror rather than surprise.
  • Change Luigi has a new dashing animation that is akin to how he runs in Super Mario 3D World.
  • Change His attacks are much more vibrant such as a vortex forming when he performs Luigi Cyclone, spinning when Green Missile misfires, or wincing in the final part of his up taunt. Additionally, Luigi's charging animation for the Green Missile has been changed.

Attributes

  • Change Luigi has a new up tilt, a short uppercut.
  • Buff Luigi has a new side tilt, which appears to be faster than his previous one.
  • Change Luigi's Super Jump Punch sweetspot now uses the new "Power Hit" effect.

Trivia

  • Luigi's official artwork uses the "hip thrust" pose from his neutral attack's third hit, which returns from Super Smash Bros. 4.
