Wavedash/land on the top platform. Before you slide off do a platform drop and immediately press nair or bair (nair is easier), if you land the attack fast enough you will reland on the platform while still moving slightly from the wavedash. If you do it right you can slide off the platform and...

This is a really cool technique getting the timing/edge cancels during a tech chase can be hard but you can use this against people shielding on platforms too to do some nasty stuff. These are some pretty creative combos though nice work. Also your grounded speed changes to the max aerial speed...

If you press down B in the air you immediately fall so you can double jump and right after down b to mix up your vertical momentum.

Like sapo said a wavedash down has about 15 frames of lag before Luigi becomes actionable again whereas most of these techniques optimally take somewhere between 3-5 frames. A 10 frame difference is very significant in Melee.

Hey everyone I updated this guide and posted it in the guide section. I only see a few top Luigis utilize only a couple of these techniques and I think these could help advance the Luigi metagame. I really hope you guys take the time to read and understand this as I think it is extremely useful...

Hey everyone, this is an update to a guide I did a few months ago, reworded most of it and added gfys at the end for visual clarification. I hope you all find this useful and I highly recommend trying to learn these techniques as I think they are incredibly useful. Momentum canceling (MC) is a...

F-ric submitted a new guide: Momentum Canceling - Advanced techniques to give you more control over Luigi's crazy movement Read more about this guide...

Just a few things in the first set against DF. The first 3 games you had trouble converting stocks and I think some of your punishes could have been a lot stronger. The games on battlefield and FD you had great punishes and it definitely helped you win those. The first stock on FD you could have...

I watched the first set with gravy and I just have a few comments. I really like how you use the reverse dash jc grab when you wavedash through gravy, those are smooth. You can do the same thing with a jc up smash, which you may already know. One thing I recommend is avoiding full hops in...

Are you talking about the platform warp nil, if so it is definitely fun and potentially very good. Plus you can edge/teeter cancel for more style. I also think shield drop cancels are possible. Westballz and PewPewU both can perform this technique somewhat consistently and and Luigi has 2 moves...

I have a pretty good suggestion for those that can't get it that consistently, if you press z immediately after a when you attempt the pivot ftilt you'll do a boost grab (you'll hear a voice clip if you do this) instead of a dash attack. I made a guide about pivots and alternatives to pivots in...

I have been using it to position myself better in several ways. In neutral dash dancing can help you maintain stage control after a long wavedash, some examples include dd under platforms for wavelands onto them, dd just outside of the opponent's range (dash grab/tilts/SHFFL) and dd for a tech...

Hey BluEG, what do you think of using shield-stops, dash-dancing and empty pivots in neutral to control momentum? I've been doing immediate shield-stop jump cancel up smash and it's similar to a pivot up smash, it's more inputs but requires less precision. Performing a shield-stop towards a...

Momentum cancelling (MC) is a set of techniques used to stop momentum during a wavedash or when sliding from a hit. It can be performed with any character; however Luigi has by far the best and most useful MC due to his traction and incredible wavedash. He can put himself in a situation to use...

I wanted to add some thoughts Overall I think every Luigi player needs to be much more patient. Consistently, I see Luigi players (myself included) overextend and do something unsafe or give up stage control when just maintaining their position was a much better option. Offstage is really bad...
