Luigi received a mix of buffs, nerfs and glitch fixes via game updates, but has been buffed slightly overall. Update {{SSBU|1.1.0}} decreased his up aerial's ending lag; in addition to improving its combo potential, this restored its ability to be auto-canceled with a short hop like in ''SSB'' and ''Brawl''. Update {{SSBU|2.0.0}} granted Luigi a handful of buffs, with the most notable being a noticeable increase to [[Luigi Cyclone]]'s knockback. Thanks to this buff, Luigi Cyclone now functions as a reliable KO confirm from down throw at high percentages when used on platforms. Aside from this, Luigi received a few quality of life buffs: up smash's knockback was increased, [[Green Missile]]'s ending lag was decreased, and both standing and pivot grabs have 1 more active frame apiece. However, this update harmed Luigi more so than helped him by removing down aerial's ability to [[meteor smash]] grounded opponents, which reverted it to how it functioned in ''SSB4''. This nerfed most of its combo potential, particularly in regard to its consistency at performing [[zero-to-death]] combos.

As part of update {{SSBU|3.0.0}}'s near-universal nerf to [[projectile]]s, [[Fireball]]'s [[shield damage]] output was decreased. Update {{SSBU|3.1.0}} improved his grab aerial's range by repositioning its plunger, and slightly improved his neutral attack's consistency. However, an adjustment to the timing of Luigi Cyclone's [[invincibility]] resulted in its utility being worsened slightly. Lastly, update {{SSBU|10.1.0}} noticeably improved his dash attack's consistency by decreasing its looping hits' knockback and adjusting its penultimate hit's angles. When coupled with the damage output buff it received in the transition to ''Ultimate'', Luigi's dash attack has become more reliable as both a burst option and a risky, yet viable KO option.
