fsmash

[animegeek]

While playing today i noticed that luigi's fsmash can be influenced by the direction the control stick is pressed. If it is slightly upward, he will stab upward; if it is downward, he jabs downward. Is there is any way to use this to your advantage? It's probably been covered on here before, but I couldn't find anything using the search.

I started using luigi about a month ago, after seeing one of ppa0's vids. That really inspired me to see how good I could get. and if I sound like a noob on here I'm sorry; it's my first post!

I think if you angle it down, it will send them at a slightly more horizontal angle (not sure about this). Angling it up/down also shortens its range, but I don't know of any uses for this.

dont concentrate a lot on tha small details, remember that hit gots a sweetspot..

If you angle the fmash slightly downward, it's probably more beneficial because it sends the opponent more foward, and a higher chance of KO.

First of all, welcome to the world of Luigi. And no, you don't really sound like a noob.

As for the Fsmash.. it really doesn't matter how you aim it. It's not that useful in combos anyway, so just try to hit straight for finishing moves.

Forward smash is awesome when it comes down to stylish Luigi play, mind you. A nice jab to the abdomen is too cool 4 school. If you play against someone that has a lot of Luigi fighting experience, messing around with the angles of the forward smash can throw their DI off in interesting ways sometimes. I occasionally get KO's off the top by angling it upwards because my opponent's instinct is to DI up when expecting to be sent at a horizontal trajectory with a typical Luigi f-smash.

his fsmash can be tilted down to hit under shields

That's cool that ppa0 inspired you. ^^
