Luigi mains confirmed for frantic self mashers?

Didn't know about useage of fireballs to screw with tether recoveries. What do you do, short hop off and chuck it at the ledge?

Oh for sure everything can be played around. It's just that after a few matches spent carefully powershielding and dodging projectiles from toon link I think to myself "wow... I could just jump in and fair with cloud right now". Simplified example yeah but you get the point.

I'm a luigi main for life, but sometimes I get irritated at how hard I have to "work" at matchups and how much time I spend (slowly) drifting back to the stage or trying to chase down a camping opponent. There just aren't any really abuseable things about Luigi, other than maybe Down B Cyclone...

That makes sense, but as you noted, getting that grab can be rough because of her stupid range and ability to just run away and stall Luigi out with acrobatic nonsense and bullets. I haven't tried trading usmash with DABK, I'll have to look into that.

Would you mind explaining why Luigi wins to Bayo? Is it because her Witch Time isn't particularly useful against a character that prefers to dash grab rather than throw out aerials?

you can downthrow to dsmash at 0 percent against fox and falcon and maybe a few others. After that, what he said above

That's all rectified by the fact that in the opening sequence Luigi avoids a warlock punch with side taunt like a boss. *By the way, has anyone ever done this or something like it in game?

Yeah I can't land it either.

I think that a Luigi player should abuse their opponent's fear of being grabbed. Inch forward, hang around that zone where it's possible for you to get in a dash, and watch them squirm and pre emptively react, then try to punish or take advantage when possible. Only drawback of this is it...

I mean, it's pretty safe by the edge as most of you already know since up B lag can be ledge grab cancelled. However I'm finding that doing jab mixups doesn't work very well against mash happy players and characters that tend to mash out of things like falcon

Yeah online makes some stuff pretty impossible. As for pk fire I actually like when they throw this; depending on the latency and how far back I am I can usually tap shield and punish. PK thunder can be annoying but I usually try to drift around it or nair it. You're right in that MU...

This is basically what it is for me; I get it to work about 85% of the time and it's not really about using my thumb. I drop the controller lower so I can straighten my arm against it and then I basically stiffen my hand and act like I'm grinding/rubbing clean the area of the controller where...

All I can give are my vague-ish ideas based on how I've dealt with players I've personally fought. Corrin is pretty rough, definitely takes patience. I feel like you really need to draw that line between when you can safely move in and punish and when you cannot, because Corrin is pretty hard...

From a pure controller standpoint it's not even that bad. My only gripe is having to go through the awkward connection process each time I do a match that isn't back to back on the same setup. You can still do well. Don't let it stop you from entering. But personally I find the transition from...
