'''Luigi''' ({{ja|ルイージ|Ruīji}}, ''Luigi'') is an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Luigi is markedly similar to {{SSBM|Mario}}, though his moveset and attributes (such as traction and aerial mobility) are different in many ways, making him a [[clone|semi-clone]]. Like in ''Smash 64'', Luigi's voice consists of Charles Martinet's Mario voice clips from ''Super Mario 64''; some are pitched higher or lower (like his [[Luigi Cyclone]] clip). ''Melee'' and ''Smash 64'' were the only games that took this approach with Luigi's voice.

Luigi currently ranks 12th on the tier list, in the B- tier, placing him three places above his older brother Mario. This is a drastic improvement from his last place ranking in ''Super Smash Bros.'' Luigi is notable for having some of the best aerials in all of ''Melee''; they are very fast, very powerful, all autocancel in a short hop with lenient autocancel windows and have very low [[ending lag|ending]] and [[landing lag]], granting him a fantastic air game. Thanks to his very low traction, his wavedash is the longest in the game, taking him nearly half the distance of [[Final Destination]] at a high speed (only slightly slower than Captain Falcon's dash). He also has a wide array of efficient combo and KO moves both in the air and on the ground. Luigi's traction, which is the lowest in the game, works as a double edged sword; while it gives him an excellent wavedash, it also limits some of his approaches on the ground if he's not wavedashing, as well as his out of shield options (as he often gets pushed too far away for fast follow-ups when his shield is hit). His approach options are generally poor; he struggles to approach on the ground despite his excellent movement due to his short range, lack of disjointed hitboxes and his dashing speed remaining one of the slowest, while his aerial approaches are hampered by his high short hop and slow falling speed (giving him one of the worst [[SHFFL]]s in the game) and his extremely poor aerial mobility (the worst in the game). This problem is compounded with his difficulty in forcing opponents to approach (mainly as a result of his very poor projectile). Additionally, his recovery is easy to edgeguard, being very linear and slow despite covering a large distance.

Nevertheless, Luigi’s good combo game and terrific wavedash allow him to be considered a decent character in competitive play, with solid matchups all-around with above average results.

|dashdesc=Dashes forward and attacks his opponent with a flurry of punches. It's fast, hits six times, covers a long distance and does moderate damage, but it's one of Luigi's worst moves, as due to an oversight that wasn't fixed from the previous game, it lacks a proper final hit, making it extremely unsafe on hit (it has 22 frames on ending lag and very low hitstun), allowing any character to grab him out of it. All hits deal ≈11.1% when used fresh.

|fsmashdesc=Bends his elbow before thrusting his arm out, performing a spearhand thrust. Launches opponents diagonally upwards. It has the highest knockback scaling out of any forward smash in the game at 135, being able to KO under 130%. Additionally, charging this move will cease Luigi momentum mid-[[wavedash]], which will make him stop suddenly. This move can be angled up or down.
