How to deal with projectiles?

[Wtfwasthat]

Hey, I've been playing for glory lately and have been doing fairly well. The one thing I have problems with are characters with quick projectiles. For example, toon link..how do I approach when he spaces me out with boomerang, arrow, bomb, repeat. Is this just a tough matchup for luigi in general?

It's a tough MU because he has projectiles to keep you away then has disjointed hitboxes if you get close. Fireballs are more spammable than his projectiles. Just throw some fireballs and inch your way in. I find it better to run and shield instead of jumping (tip for all projectile users except maybe Samus). But this can also be a risky strategy because your shield will take significant damage if you don't powershield or get in their face fairly quickly. Once you get about mid-range, just outside of tether grab range, I would apply some more fireball pressure to force an approach. Then you can really start applying pressure now that you're in their face.

Remember Fireball always clashes with projectile. Exceptions are lasers and fully charged projectiles

Practice powershielding and general movement with luigi to weave around the projectiles.

if you have trouble with those item spammers just spam fire ball, until they give up and start approaching you, seriously, i do it all the time, they get desperate because they arent doing anything and approach
