Oh, this explains the weeks of playing people with "white power" and "hitler" miis.

It's also worth keeping in mind that he's better online because he shines on flat, final destination type stages because of his dash speed and up-smash. He's not nearly as good on stages with platforms.

I've been on the wrong side of this before and if the Shiek is fully walling out with needles and fairs, it's difficult to get a solid approach. Shiek's f-air just wins over anything you can do in the air, and it's difficult to both shield needles and actually play the game at the same tim...

Counter spammers are a lot of fun to play against as Luigi (it's total suicide for the counter spammer.)

One thing to point out is that perfect shields are not difficult to get in this game, and perfect shields don't slide back. A little bit of practice and a little bit of getting a feel for your opponent and the traction is not a problem at all.

Luigi's pretty good in this game. The problems he has are: a) Recovery is still too vertical even with down-b. This becomes really inconvenient against Villager's bowling bowl and Megaman's down-air. b) It's very difficult for Luigi to deal with characters who have disjoint hitbox type moves...

To be fair the fireball stun seemed a little imba.

Sometimes I'll just do semi-stupid gimmicks for a stock just to keep from falling into predictable patterns. e.g: Luigi's Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden! The only aerial you're allowed to use out of down-throw is down-air - bounce your opponent like a bball until you get to the side until you...

I think the three big things are: 1. You're spending too much time in the air. Fast-fall more. This is your big problem in the Falcon fight, Falcon's just getting under you after points when you don't fast fall. 2. Your spot-dodging is very predictable, and it's harming your game...

This is related to another problem I sometimes run into when playing Luigi - I'd go to bop someone off the stage, and mysteriously my second jump would be gone! What's happening is that when Luigi runs off the stage, he stays almost at stage height for a short time right when he runs off - so...

One thing about Luigi is that it's very easy to mess up and leave yourself completely vulnerable. I play Luigi dittos very conservatively - just fireball and jab and stay away from the other luigi until they do something dumb - like the other luigi doing a dash attack or an up-b or a side b or...

:4luigi: - I think Luigi has a minor edge in the match-up - maybe 5.5/ 4.5. There was a thread earlier here: http://smashboards.com/threads/match-up-thread-4-captain-falcon.396706/ The big problems Falcon has are: 1. Fireball stops side-b and falcon kick and falcon doesn't have a projectile -...

The thing in Villager's kit that's super obnoxious is the f-air (balloons). If the villager player is smart about using them, it's annoying to get in (I find the balloons difficult to see). Rockets are just a tool to help you get hit by his/her f-air.

As a Luigi main: :4littlemac: :4ganondorf::4bowser: - I got impatient and over aggroed, so it's like I lost to myself. :4ness: - pk-fire f-air n f-air run away run away stand on the edge b-throw oh crap :4pacman::4megaman::4villager:- projectile run away projectile run away

You can just run at people and shield-cancel the dash (blocking the projectiles) until you get close enough to throw fireballs, and generally, fireballs start winning once you get in range.
