I have been watching Apex and watching belaC play gets me so hyped. The reason? He has one of the best Luigi's I have ever seen in Smash Wii U. His combos are amazing in the fact he racks up percent very quickly and looking at the character overall seems like a contender for top tier.

His aerials are some of the best in the game in that the hit pretty hard, and activate very quickly. His recovery is also really solid both vertically and horizontally. His smash attacks are strong and are reliable kill moves. I know it's too early in the tournament to say but Luigi, in my opinion, is looking like a top 10 and maybe even top 5 character if I see more Luigi's like belaC.
If you agree or disagree feel free to let me know why!

Mr.CC has been showing off Luigi for at least a month or so. He's got such good combo and pressure game, kinda makes sense.

I just saw him body a dk, but then get bodied by pac man. May not have been a bad MU, it could just have been a lack of Mu experience for CC. However, Chef Pac mopped the floor with CC. Made him look casual.

IMO, Luigi has a horrible time with PacMan. PacMan outranges Luigi in all melee attacks. Heck, I don't think Luigi really has a strategy to get past Pacman's FTilt, let alone any of PacMan's fruit or hydrant game.

Its strange, because PacMan is typically a fruit-spam character. But in the Luigi matchup, Luigi's own fireballs negate all of PacMan's fruit (although... PacMan's fruit also negates Luigi's fireballs. So its a wash). So the matchup comes down entirely to the melee range stuff where PacMan really does have a sizable range advantage.

We have a thread where you can post your thoughts on characters and how they are performing competitively, the Character Competitive Impressions thread. Here's a link: http://smashboards.com/threads/character-competitive-impressions.367669/unread.
Just had to get a few thoughts on PacMan before this thread got locked. :-)

Yeah, Luigi is good, but his overall matchups don't seem as solid as the current suspected high-tiers.

I like how this thread hasn't been redirected and locked yet since we already have a dedicated thread for this...
