Luigi is ranked 39th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the end of B+ tier. This is a moderate drop from his high tier placement ''SSB4'', where he was ranked 18th out of 54 characters. Similarly to [[Mario (SSBU)|his brother]], Luigi has excellent frame data, with low [[startup]] and [[ending lag]] on the majority of his kit, making him a very difficult character to punish. He has an outstanding air game, with one of the best jumping abilities of the roster and strong aerials with fast startup, low ending lag (except neutral and back aerials) and landing lag, and lenient [[auto-cancel]] windows, with all of them being able to auto-cancel from a short hop, and he can autocancel all of them in a short hop fast fall except for neutral aerial. His forward and up aerials in particular have such low ending lag that he can use two forward aerials or two up aerials in a short hop and still autocancel them. Additionally, Luigi boasts incredible combo ability and solid KO power: his [[down throw]] is one of the best combo starters in the game, and allows him to either perform consistent [[zero-to-death]] combos on the vast majority of the roster or set up for a kill via [[Super Jump Punch]], [[Luigi Cyclone]], or a sweetspotted back aerial at high percentages. Finally, Luigi Cyclone's frame 1 [[invincibility]] when used in the air gives Luigi a reliable combo breaker. | Luigi is ranked 39th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the end of B+ tier.

However, Luigi still has several noticeable weaknesses. His overall mobility is sluggish, with his [[air speed]] being one of the slowest in the game. Luigi's pitifully slow air speed is an especially painful hindrance, as it makes him susceptible to [[juggling]]. Both of these weaknesses leave Luigi with a poor disadvantage state. Along with his only average grounded mobility at best, his ground game is also further brought down by his below average range, which makes it difficult for him to fight against [[camping]]. In addition, Luigi's recovery, while long-distanced, is very predictable and linear, as [[Green Missile]] doesn't leave him [[helpless]] but only grants him horizontal distance with noticeable ending lag, while Super Jump Punch only travels straight upwards with no horizontal gain, and it also possesses very high landing lag, making him vulnerable to punishes if he fails to grab the ledge. Finally, Luigi Cyclone has lost all of its recovery and gimping potential, as the move's very high ending lag and reduced distance cause him to lose what little recovery distance he got before he can act, removing one of Luigi's strongest options off-stage. | However, Luigi still has several noticeable weaknesses.

This has allowed him to foster a good-sized playerbase spearheaded by players such as {{Sm|Luugi}}, {{Sm|Raru}}, and, prior to his ban, {{Sm|Elegant}}. | ||

Luigi is a [[Weight|middleweight]] whose attributes deviate from most other characters in his weight class. Luigi sports fairly average [[walk]]ing speed, [[dash]]ing speed, and [[air acceleration]], a decent initial dashing speed, below-average [[gravity]], slow [[falling speed]], low [[traction]], the 2nd slowest [[air speed]], and the | Luigi is a [[Weight|middleweight]] whose attributes deviate from most other characters in his weight class. Luigi sports fairly average [[walk]]ing speed, [[dash]]ing speed, and [[air acceleration]], a decent initial dashing speed, below-average [[gravity]], slow [[falling speed]], low [[traction]], the 2nd slowest [[air speed]], and among the best jumping prowess in the roster, with the fourth highest [[jump]] and the tenth highest [[double jump]]. As a result, Luigi is quite [[floaty]] and his mobility is fairly sluggish overall, especially in the air. | ||
Luigi's greatest asset is his outstanding frame data, which is easily among the fastest in the game. Because of this, similarly to [[Mario (SSBU)|his older brother]], Luigi can be very difficult to punish; only two of his standard moves and five of his attacks overall have more than 9 frames of startup lag (forward smash, down aerial, [[Fireball]], [[Green Missile]], and [[Luigi Cyclone]]), a multitude of his moves hit on or before frame 5 (such as neutral attack, dash attack, neutral aerial, up aerial and his tilts), and the vast majority of his moveset has low ending lag, granting him incredible attack speed and an excellent punish game; both points are complemented by the utility of his overall moveset. Neutral attack's damage output and [[range]] are average at best, yet its two hits can [[lock]]. Its first hit also comes out on frame 2, which makes the move a fairly useful option for warding off nearby opponents. Luigi's tilt attacks also have their own perks: forward tilt can be angled and is useful for spacing, up tilt has excellent combo and juggling potential, and down tilt is an incredibly quick and highly [[spam]]mable move that can combo into itself and a few other moves while also being able to consistently perform [[2 frame punish]]es at the edge. Lastly, Luigi's dash attack has quick startup; when coupled with its reduced ending lag, increased damage output and higher knockback, it is a much better move for approaching and attacking than in previous installments. | Luigi's greatest asset is his outstanding frame data, which is easily among the fastest in the game.

|usmashdesc=An upward arcing headbutt. Due to it coming out on frame 9, it is fairly quick for a smash attack, and is one of Luigi's fastest KO options. Like Mario and {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}'s up smashes, it renders his head [[intangible]] throughout its duration. Unlike theirs, however, it consists of a sweetspot and a sourspot, the latter of which inflicts 2% less damage and is located closer to Luigi. Despite this, the sourspot is out-prioritized by the sweetspot, and is very unlikely to hit unless the opponent is practically touching him. Compared to Mario's version, it launches at a fairly lower angle, but actually KOs earlier due to its overall higher knockback. Like Dr. Mario's version, its hitbox lasts for 1 frame longer than Mario's version, giving it more frontal range and a longer period of intangibility | |usmashdesc=An upward arcing headbutt.

Its combination of very fast interruptibility, the intangibility on Luigi's head and respectable power make it very hard to punish, especially from out of shield. | ||

|bairdesc=A dropkick. It has decent range, to the point that it has the second longest range among Luigi's aerial attacks. The clean hit's sweetspot is located on Luigi's feet and deals high damage and knockback, making it one of Luigi's best KOing options. The clean hit's sourspot and the late hit deal much less damage and knockback; as a result, they are much less effective for KOing, yet more useful for partaking in combos. It comes out on frame 6, but its 33 frames of ending lag is the highest amount out of Luigi's aerials.

|uairdesc=A bicycle kick. It is useful for combos like Mario's up aerial, due to its very low ending lag and landing lag. Its clean hitbox also inflicts above-average damage for a combo-oriented move. However, it launches at a lower angle than Mario's; this makes it less effective for juggling and especially vertical combos past low percentages, yet more effective for horizontal combos. It also comes out 1 frame later than Mario's, on frame 5 instead of 4, but has less ending lag. However, it possesses a substantially smaller hitbox. Just like his forward aerial, Luigi can use his up aerial twice with a single short hop, as well as auto-cancel it due to its lenient auto-cancel window and low ending lag. | |uairdesc=A bicycle kick.

It allows Luigi to move horizontally on the ground, as well as maintain his aerial position by mashing the special move button, although both abilities are considerably weaker than in previous games. It also grants Luigi [[invincibility]] during startup (frames 4-8 while grounded and 1-7 in midair), and has [[windbox]]es around Luigi that pull opponents into the attack. These traits make it a more effective, yet slightly less rewarding combo breaker compared to his neutral aerial. As of update 2.0.0, Luigi Cyclone's final hit has respectable power: the grounded version KOs middleweights at ≈160%, whereas the aerial version is a reliable KO confirm from down throw at high percentages, especially when used on a platform.

Luigi's new grab, which had | Luigi's new grab, which had noticeably more lag, and nerfs to [[Luigi Cyclone]] that removed its recovery and gimping potential initially soured opinions on Luigi's viability. However, many players soon realized Luigi's combo game potential, specifically his zero-to-death combos. In addition, several Luigi players placed highly at tournaments as the metagame progressed, most notably {{Sm|Elegant}}, who despite a rough start eventually became a top 50 player by the end of the first year. Although Luigi's poor disadvantage state still hindered him, his perception greatly improved, and many players considered him as a mid-tier at worst. | ||
Since then, Luigi's results only improved as Luigi's combo game developed even further: in the post-online metagame, Elegant established himself as a top 20 player in the world following a string of top 8 results at supermajor events. Even after Elegant's ban, other Luigi players came and took his place; most notable among them were {{Sm|Luugi}} and {{Sm|Rarukun}}, both of which have seen placements that were on-par if not better than what Elegant had. As such, although Luigi was ranked 47th on the current tier list as an upper-mid tier, many players have argued that Luigi should be ranked in the high-tier due to his strong results and deadly combo game. | Since then, Luigi's results only improved as Luigi's combo game developed even further: in the post-online metagame, Elegant established himself as a top 20 player in the world following a string of top 8 results at supermajor events.
