Delzethin's Remake It! series takes a look at characters in Smash Bros. whose fighter designs wandered far too out of character, are outdated, or could otherwise benefit from a revisit. In his newest entry, he takes on Luigi's Smash moveset.
The video starts with mentioning how Smash's take on Luigi is incomplete. It offers a lot into the scared side of his personality, but nothing into how he can be brave at times, nor his humble nature. Delzethin's approach to this includes keeping the playstyle as a well-rounded character who's strength is in grabs, with a slower run, air, and fall speed.
Most of the tilts stay the same, but Delzethin approaches the rest of the move set by utilizing Luigi's hammer and electric blast from the Mario & Luigi series, a spin jump from every Mario Platformer after Super Mario World for his NAir. Luigi's specials have a major overhaul crafted. Delzethin keeps Luigi's neutral special, but changes the the Side B to be a spin tornado (from the Mario Strikers and Mario Baseball series), the Up B into a Thunder Punch from Mario & Luigi and the Down B as the Poltergust from Luigi's Mansion. For Luigi's Final Smash, Luigi pulls from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team with bringing, of course, Dreamy Luigi.
While characters in Smash don't typically get move set overhauls, it is fascinating to see this approach on retooling a character to try and make them better. There's definitely a lot of untapped potential in updating and revamping move sets.
Author's Note: Honestly, I wouldn't mind a rehaul of Luigi. Seeing movesets get reworked is exciting. Would you like to see Luigi get revamped in the next Smash game? Let us know in the comments!
