'''Luigi''' ({{ja|ルイージ|Ruīji}}, ''Luigi'') is an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

(SSBB)|Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] website on February 18th, 2008.

Unlike his voice clips in the previous two games, which was just higher-pitched versions of [[Mario]]'s, Charles Martinet provides entirely new voice clips for Luigi in ''Brawl'', sounding akin to the ones he recorded for ''{{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}''.
{{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}} reprises his role as Luigi in all regions of ''Brawl''; rather than re-purposing and altering Mario's portrayal from ''Super Mario 64'' as in previous games, Martinet provides entirely new voice clips that mimic the ones he recorded for ''{{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}''.


Luigi is currently ranked 28th on the current ''Brawl'' [[tier list]], on the top of the lower-mid tier, placing him three places above his older brother, {{SSBB|Mario}}. This is a moderate drop from the ''Melee'' tier list, where he was ranked 12th out of 26. Luigi is best known for his fast, yet powerful attacks, possessing several potential finishers, some of which can reliably [[KO]] under 100%, including, but not limited to, his [[forward smash]] and [[Fire Jump Punch]]. His attacks also flow well together, making for a lot of effective set-up moves and [[combo]]s. However, Luigi has poor mobility, adding to the fact that he is [[floaty]], a slow [[dash]]er, and extremely slow [[air speed|in the air]] as well, which makes [[approach]]ing opponents difficult. These problems are further worsened by the general [[reach]] of his attacks being among the worst in ''Brawl'', his signature lack of traction causing him to be pushed back considerably while [[shield]]ing and limiting [[out of shield]] [[punishing]] options, and his only [[projectile]] being too slow and short-ranged to effectively [[camp]] most characters. Luigi is also crippled by the removal of [[wavedashing]] more than most other veterans, as his low traction greatly exacerbates his approach and makes his general maneuverability difficult to handle. This results in mostly poor [[matchup]]s, especially against characters with [[disjointed hitbox]]es and strong camping abilities, like {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} or {{SSBB|Falco}}. When combined with his lack of [[tournament]] representation, Luigi has also achieved below-average [[tournament]] results.
