Yes, but he is hard to master like any other melee character. Eddy Mexico, Vist, Vudujin,ROFL and Abate make strong cases for his strengths such as tech chasing and other things.

Not only is Luigi viable, I think he is one of the most viable tournament characters in 2014 metagame. Tournament placings are all about skill anyways, I truly think if you're the most skilled player in the room and you play Luigi, you could and should win tournaments.

I think it's always gonna be a stretch to say that Luigi is the most viable but Luigi is certainly looking like the most relevant mid tier right now.

I said ONE of dude.. his placements have been pretty legit lately. Hopefully with tournament results tracking we can get some more exact stats on how Luigis do in the current metagame, I'm pretty positive it's better this year than ever before.
Agreed, and that is exactly why i am not a Luigi main. Really would like to but it's just too hard for me. (Not that Falcon is much/any better though...)

Suck it up and just squeege hard man. If not you then whom? 
Glad to hear one the biggest assets to the Luigi meta game thinks he's viable. Keep up the good work.

I think that as others have posted, his tournament placement % is much higher than pretty much any of the mid-tiers and while he may not be an amazing character, is definitely solid.
