Hello fellow Luigi mains, you probably read this thread title and wonder "Is this real?" Yes, it's real, but it works with certain of the cast, because of how Luigi foot stools them and you cannot follow up with Nair.

Won't work:

Omg nice find this tech is SICK!! Too bad it only works on 1/5 of the cast, but I'll take it


Ok so after practicing the tech a bunch (its pretty hard to get even on donkey kong imo) it doesnt register as a true combo in training mode. I don't know whether or not this means it wont work in game, I don't know if training mode recognizes footstools as combos.

This only works on 60%?

Neat if it's applicable in real matches. Only notable characters it can be used on are Yoshi, Sheik, Ness, and maybe DK [IMO]

I tested this a few days ago. I've pasted my own notes here. This definitely needs more testing, because I'm pretty sure you can escape this combo with DI or maybe even just jumping. I haven't tested this with a friend yet to check that.


D-throw->footstool/nair->footstool/nair->jump/tornado (read DI) NEEDS TESTING
Characters which have hit boxes above their heads after a footstool can be immediately combo’d into nair. At certain percent ranges, this combos into another footstool and nair, which can then be followed up by a tornado to kill off of the top.


Opponent, % range, Notes
Bowser, 54-63%, difficult to footstool
Charizard, 44-55%, jump into him to follow his head for the footstool
DK, 60-70%, should be able to up-b out of the combo
Duck Hunt Duo, 53-62%, footstool on the dog (try to ignore the bird)
Lucas, 41-50%, nair doesn’t always hit (have to be frame perfect???)
Mr. Game & Watch, 32-39%, only dies near top of % range
Ness, 40-49%, nair doesn’t always hit (have to be frame perfect???)
Olimar, 36-43%, I think Olimar can just jump away from the footstool
Sheik, 39-50%, lord jesus thank you - I hope this isn’t impossible to pull off
Yoshi, 44-55%, may be able to jump out of the combo


Global Notes:

• Deals ~39%
• Whether or not it kills depends on % and ceiling height (aka won’t always kill)
• Footstool must be a short-hop
• Below the % range, have to fastfall between jumps to complete the combo - if the instead of a second footstool you get a jump, may be able to fall right into an up-b
• Percent ranges not tested for opponent DI’ing out of tornado.
• Does not work on anyone else (nair won’t hit after footstool)

EDIT: I do not know how to make this look nice on smashboards, pls help
