Title says it all. It does. The fact that Luigi has lagless aerials and picks them up quickly and the fact you can mix up mindgames with it makes you a diddy right there. Even better, you can use it on diddy lolool.


Yeaah. I just wanted to hype up something cause luigi boards is being boring lately :(

He doesn't trip much further than any other character, if any further at all. And Luigi is slippery, learn how to deal with it and you won't have problems.

LOL. If it was sarcrasm or not, this made my day :p If only I had a video with Luigi glide tossing and going nuts with a banana, he'll be the next diddy <333. Bananas+glide tossing is just too epic.

edit: It's because when luigi gets hit by a banana, diddy's can't follow up with combos because of luigi's awesome low traction <3333333.

hmmm.... this could mean once bannana play reaches a very high level and diddy becomes high tier (these are my predictions...) luigi could become a diddy counter. (although according to luigi vs world, he already is, but i'm not sure if this is a factor it said analysis....)

^^^ We haven't done a discussion on him, I don't know if SparkED picked that number himself or what, but 70:30 sounds like a good number to me, Diddy does struggle with combos against Luigi, I know this from experience.

Naaah. He got it from diddy boards. Diddy boards agree that 70:30 is right because majority and metagame
come from bananas (lol). they can't follow up combos because of wigi's low traction. also wigi dominates the air and ko's him very quick.

Well, if nothing else. Luigi has a trick against, Rob, Diddy, Peach, Snake, Zamus, and Wario to be aware of...

ya i think luigi's glide tossing ability is good and would be great to know and to use, i definately can't incorporate it into my game though.

His aerials are a bit slower, unlike in Melee, and he is a bit laggier overall, which is why I don't main Luigi in Brawl. However, he's still my main in Melee, and a secondary in Brawl.

Put simply, you pick up a Banana Peel, dodge backwards, and before the dodge finishes/after it starts, you throw the Banana Peel in the dodge direction, and it feels like a wavedash. Diddy will trip, you'll slide effortlessly into his vicinity while he is helpless, and you are free to use Fire Jump Punch.

Practice Glide Tossing in Training first, heh. Fire Flowers work well. Remember: Backwards dodge roll.

So, ok, I've practiced this quite a bit, and this may be a way bigger issue than it seems. Luigi glide tosses like, 65% of FD, and does it really effing fast. Combine that with the simple fact that a luigi in your face is BAD news for anyone, and this really should become a staple of every luigi's game.

This could effectively make matches against rob, peach, snake, diddy and anyone else I'm not thinking of, a big advantage for luigi. And, even if you can't make terribly good use of the glide toss, actively and obviously attempting to turn every item-projectile against your opponent could prove to be an excellent mind game.

So how do we make use of this?

thats y iv always said diddy + luigi in teams is sexy. if u glide toss a banana ur almost always likly to up b ur opponent out of it(considering they r on the ground)the stages r so small and luigis goes soo far.

Has anyone done this in a game, against a peach or rob? Input as to how that differs from using bananas would be helpful. Also, I can imagine being able to use snake's grenades against him would be really useful. It would be crazy though, because you're sending an explosive, yourself and your opponent, all to the same area. That would probably create the kind of mayhem that would be of an advantage to luigi, seeing as you'd both be thrown into the air and disoriented.

At the very least it should force your opponent to re-evaluate his projectile game.
