Luigi Counterpick Discussion

[JesteRace]

Totally stealing this idea from the Link boards because we have a similar issues of our stage counterpick relying a lot on the matchup. Basically, we're just gonna try and list the appropriate CP's and bans for all of Luigi's matchups. Some of this may come down to personal preference(and what's legal in your region) and a few of these will definitely be guesses by me, but we can still get discussion rolling. My list will use the Paragon stagelist and have 3 CP's and 2 bans

Again, I obviously can't know all of these for sure, so let me hear your guys' input.

 

[1+1=3]

I don't know about Battlefield as a CP to Lucas. I typically avoid it and go for Smashville. I think it makes Lucas commit more wth his approach options and makes it easier to deal with. Also, the lack of constant platform makes it a bit harder to get d-air to u-smash. The long stage also makes it easier for us for wavedash into a punish or to escape pressure.
Against Mario, I think Luigi does better on platform stages since we make better use of the platforms than Mario does. So, I think that Battlefield is a better starter against Mario than FD is.
I'm also curious about why GHZ as a Zelda CP
