Spacing is luigis greatest tool against Mario. I just spam ftilts. Mario can get out of most combos, but he can't combo Luigi as well. Luigi should out prioritize mario in the air. Luigi's attacks are faster.

Well I'm still new with Luigi but I can help if your brother loves to use the cape a lot. I have a friend who spams the hell out of the cape which is quite effective against me. Anyway, I usually jump above him and fast fall to a Dair. It usually keeps him at bay and just when he catches on to it, I mind game him and change it up. If you brother catches on too, then just fall to a Nair and start attacking while he's off-guard.

This is all assuming your brother spams the hell out of the cape, oh and wavedashing helps too. :p

I'd have to agree with them. If he spams the cape, then it seems like coming at him from the air would do well. Of course, what am I doing telling you this.....??

[QUOTE but he can't combo Luigi as well.[/QUOTE]

sry pacman but mario can pretty much combo everyone in the game he may have a hard time comboing luigi but it can be done. the only person he can't combo is jiggs.

BTW are you going to C3???

I play Mario and one thing that really pisses me off pretty bad is a random WD dsmash they're very annoying to Mario. Also when if that Mario is spamming his cape he = noob lol. Another thing my friend uses against me is that slap in the air because the only really attacks you can counter that with is bair and uair and the bair still ties with the slap so you get more damage off. also off the spawn you can tornado at 0 damage and juggle for just a little bit (tornado - utilt - slap = first 20 damage). Spacing is also very well against Mario because hes kinda fat and cant move well and Mario has bad range but yet again so does Luigi unless you WD the majority of your attacks. You should also be able to tornado recover because if your coming back with your the torpedo it makes Luigi VERY easy to spike i get my friend 6/10 times like that at least once a game so save your jump and make sure you can tornado recover. Also its better to take Mario to flat maps with no platforms because Luigi can rip Mario apart if he doesn't have platforms, platforms for Mario make it very easy to win against Luigi IMO so pick maps like FD, Mute city, Dreamland (sorta), DK64.

I think i covered everything.

Edit: also use a lot of nair against most combos. It is sooo very annoying but it works very very well against Mario's combos

Ha I know what you guys mean by fighting Jiggs...My brother has been playing around with her lately and he almost always gets the sleep/rest move on me. However, I've just been shielding the hell out of him so he hits my shield, then I punish him with the UpB move. :D

Basically it's a race to see who gets the finisher in first, but Luigi's a dead target if you use the Missile move to recover. @_@ Sadly though, I don't know how to do the rising Tornado with Luigi since his is harder than Mario's/Doc's.

Well I haven't played a good Jiggs, but it helps when you're trying to dodge the Rest move...Then WD back in with an UpB, or shield>WD>UpB.
