Don't just assume Luigi is better than Mario

[White Pikmin]

two more reasons:

better final smash (covers more areas than marios, atleast when used on smaller stages)

up B (Flys people upward)

taunt is attack

 

[The Master of Mario]

Mario has more options than Luigi

1. Mario has more run speed on the ground and better horizontal movement in the air.
2. He has better range and priority including 3 disjointed hitboxes(F-smash,F.L.U.D.D.,Cape) to Luigi zero.
3. Mario's Tilts and Aerials have signifigantly less lag frames and his better fallspeed helps AutoCancelling.
4. Mario's Fireball has a better tragectory for approach and gimping and Up-special has less lag and added invincibility frames
5. Mario has Cape, Fireballs, Wall Jump, F.L.U.D.D. and his better aerial movement for recovery and edgegaurding.

You lost so many cool points just now I think you hit the negatives...

I was all excited...already prepared for what I'm gonna say....then I see that I somehow already posted.

Get wrecked T_T

Mario is not green enough.
btw, most of your points were about edgeguarding, which luigi doesn't need as much as mario. you kill at 40% with water, we kill at 40% from the top.
edit -> didn't see the post date and didn't read the 2nd page. sry hippie ._.

luigi is better than mario...look at it anyway you want. in terms of numerical attributes luigi is better, moveset is better....luigi has a lot of hard matchups but he is definately better. mario's slight advantages don't compensate for anything over luigi. the luigi players here have already stated everything so i'm not going to continue, but i can write a full ISU on this probably lol. i understand mario pretty well, i used to use him also... and i don't doubt what mario has over luigi either...but luigi is better.

Unlike most people, I don't mind old threads being bumped. It may be against the rules in many places or at least taboo, but I think it's better than making a brand new thread when a perfectly fine thread already exists..

The Master of Mario, you made a few good points on why Mario's ground game is better than Luigi's. I'd like to point out that Luigi's Cyclone has disjointed hitboxes, though, so saying he has zero disjointed hitboxes is incorrect. Also, I'll point out that Luigi will autocancel 8 shorthop double aerials... EIGHT! Luigi autocancels better than Mario; not the other way around.

Anyway, plenty of people have already said what I wanted to say (double aerials, KO potential, etc.) except for one thing: THE JAB!...

No character has a quicker jab than Luigi's Jab. It's second to none in terms of how quick it comes out. Due to the quickness of it and the speed/power (yet close range) of his other attacks, Jab1 followup combos are killer. Mmmm... Jabs.
