How long have you been playing competitive melee btwThanks Griff! I just want Luigi to be the best that he can be.
And a small addendum to my last post that I forgot about: hit confirms! At low percents if your opponent isn't DIing away you can follow one aerial with another without jumping again. The old Ka-Master is the dair>fair, uair can lead into another or a fair as well, and bair>bair works as well.
Nice. I started out with ganon,and then moved to fox;got bored of fox and his linear playstyle--there was nothing to figure out.Ended up with Luigi because of how unique his playstyle is....and because of the luck factor.I started playing Luigi three or four months ago with a few months of Falco before that. Just over a year total.
Bububu I want to be the people's champion ):I think most people are better off learning the competitive game with one of the top tier characters anyway. Knowing how to correctly play a good character with lots of options can help you understand how to handle the shortcomings of worse characters and how to maximize their potential by necessity. Too many people never try out the lower tiers though. I believe characters like Luigi, Young Link, and Donkey Kong have much left to discover, we just need the right player and that's who I intend to be.

The knockback formula and by extension the shieldstun formula invariably ignore move staling.Staleness is another factor to consider here. For example, if nair is one of the last nine attacks you've connected with, which it probably is, you'll lose that potential 1 frame advantage on hit, leaving you at best even with your opponent.
I completely agree. Its nearly impossible for me to try and get good at any other character because I'm so used to Luigi's unique movement and playstyle. I've tried using Marth or Young Link against Marth (I suck with Luigi in that matchup) but its too hard to get used toLuigi fundamentally breaks the game, his playstyle is soooo different. I think learning elements from other characters is great but a focus solely on Luigi will ultimately help the most.
