 '''Luigi''' (Japanese: {{ja|ルイージ}}, ''Ruīji'') is an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  Luigi's moveset is markedly similar to that of [[Mario (SSBM)|Mario]], though his attacks often differ in [[knockback]] and trajectory.
-As in previous classic Nintendo games, Luigi is a [[floaty]] character with a high [[jump]] and low [[traction]]. As a result of his low traction, Luigi can lay claim to the longest [[wavedash]] in the game, which allows him to slide across the stage in lengthy bursts at speeds nearly as fast as [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)|Captain Falcon]]'s [[dash]]. Luigi is also well known for his fast, powerful aerial attacks, and the hit or miss nature of his [[Super Jump Punch]] and [[Green Missile]]. Luigi has some of the better combos in ''Melee'' and due to his floatiness and quick aerials, combos are usually small vs him as well.
+Luigi ranks at 14th on the tier list, in the D tier, placing him in the dead centre, along with his older brother {{SSBM|Mario}}. Luigi is notable for having possibly one of the best air games in all of ''Melee'', with very fast, very powerful and very low lag aerials and very high raw jumping power. With a projectile in tow and a very long wavedash due to his poor traction, Luigi also has some very good approach options; Luigi's wavedash alone is the longest in the game, easily taking him half the distance of Final Destination and traversing the area in a speed only slightly slower than Captain Falcon's dash. Luigi also has some very efficient killers, including a fast and powerful forward smash and a decently powered sex kick for his neutral air. Luigi's traction, however, acts 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. Aditionally, Luigi's recovery is short and predictable, with very few options available to him.
-He is currently ranked 14th on the tier list, and is placed in the D tier. Luigi suffers from a set of predictable, poor recoveries (though his potential recovery distance is high), and suffers from a combination of slow aerial mobility and poor reach in his attacks, giving him a large disadvantage against characters with superior reach, with the worst matchup being vs. Marth. Due to Luigi's very fast attacks and high KO power, he is seen often at the top of low tier tournaments, as the majority of the other low tiers don't have the range to keep him away or the speed to keep up with Luigi.
