    Useful things Id like to see more of

    Woah, I never thought of WD Dtilt against marth to shield poke. That's a great idea! Also loving the idea to anticipate a dair from falco/falcon with rising the tornado last second to tech it. As for the NIL I feel like it's more annoying than anything and isn't that helpful because you can't...

    Rising Cyclone (PTP) Frame Data Guide

    I usually use the tense method with my arm and mash b with my index finder. You'll have plenty of time beforehand and after to move your hand back into position because of how floaty luigi is and the end lag of the move after. I heard axe does an alternating two finger mash when he does his...

    Marth Help and Match Critique

    Lol, I'm the worst at throws. I'd follow RoFL's guide if you want solid advice

    Marth Help and Match Critique

    Yeah you definitely don't want to get caught in the air but it's just another tool in your toolbox to use in the case you end up getting close to a marth in shield. Marth has some very weak OOS options and luigi's double ariel pressure on shield is amazing. It catches a lot of people off guard...

    Luigi Video against Japn. Smasher (criticism and tips please)

    Definitely abuse it when a player doesnt know how to DI behind luigi's attacks. You don't always have to grab the ledge to edgeguard fox. You seem to jump a lot (no one can WD all the time and not jump) but other times seem on purpose. It definitely gives fox an advantage in positioning since...

    Marth Help and Match Critique

    All that should matter is if you can release and repress your trigger button within the few frames of luigi's jump animation. In the match you seem to have some issues DI'ing away from marth's throws, and some of his aerials. Not sure how to get that down other than good ol practice. Like what...

    Marth Help and Match Critique

    You need to mix up your approaches. Instead of always coming in with a downsmash, you were getting better results with "spacing" a ftilt. Approaching with an Upsmash on marth is rather risky due to it's limited range, if anything I'd say use WD in facing away uptilt more since it has lasting...

    Luigi General/Social

    Just wondering but has anyone done a lot of exploring on luigi's SH dair into a FF nair? I can't quite tell if it's safe on shield with the shield stun from the dair.

    Go Luigi's at CEO!

    Thanks for the support! Unfortunately, BluEG and I were in the same pool with even another Florida luigi player Enigma. I barely knocked BluEG out in a super janky luigi ditto after M2K knocked us both into losers bracket. I then lost to the Florida player Harriet the Guy in a really good set...

    DIME 8 Results 2/22

    Gg's every one. I had fun with a lot of money matches. The dallas scene was super chill and fun to hang around. 1: GC | Silent Wolf - You fox was incredible to watch. Hope you get to visit tx more often. 2: GG | Mojo - Too bad we didn't get to play and hang out at after the tourney. Was fun...
