F-ric introduces his way into smash!

[F-ric]

Hey everyone I'm a Luigi main trying to start competing in tournaments. I've been to a few locals that my friend runs and after doing so-so I've been spending a ton of time in the lab getting the hang of Luigi's unique movement and learning/incorporating advanced techniques (shield drops, drop cancels, Vududash etc.) I really want to start competing and I want to do well even though Luigi isn't at the top of the tier list.

I'm currently in the MDVA area specifically downtown Baltimore. Unfortunately getting to Xanadu is difficult for me right now so I haven't been to any tournaments lately.

Hello F-ric, welcome to Smashboards

Once again, I find something in common with a lot of Luigi players throughout the forums. Typically, if you end up maining Luigi in one game, you main him in all of them. Idk what it is

Wish you the best in your ventures into the competitive field!

I think it has to do with the way Luigi plays, he is so unlike every other character in a lot of ways. His combo game is very unique (even in Brawl he has true combo potential) and his general gameplay is very free due to his low traction and in PM/Melee his WD.

I can agree with that. One of my roommates is a Luigi main, and he tells me that after being used to Luigi for so long, every other character he tries to use feels "odd". That may be an extreme case, but I can understand it.

That, and the fact that he always had to be Player-2 growing up when playing with older relatives, so he identified with Luigi in a way.

Dunno. I've just always found that to be interesting about Luigi players.

Nice to see a Luigi player! Make mario pay for what he did to you at tennis! Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eqq3LNuayc

Welcome to the family, and good luck! It's cool that you main Luigi! I'm a Mario main :D
