Our moderators don't pay attention to Luigi :(

And guys, instead of saying "inb4thisthreaddies", why not post something contributing and usefull? That's what keeps the discussion going :/

And lol, you should've let me make the thread if I was going to be the updater.

Wifi still gives you MU experience, even if it isn't exactly top-level play.

I'll go tell the metaknights we're discussing. Hopefully they have some much needed initiative.

Edit: Already done, but the link is weird...I'll see if I can fix it.

Against mk, I see the best bet is to get in jab range of him and try to land a jab combo on him.

Jab is faster then any of his grounded moves.

Up smash through nado... uhhhhh


That's all I got on mk really

Re-discussion is probably the wrong word.

Eh...screw it, let's just start.

MK

This is a tough matchup, there's no way around it. His sword beats everything, and most of his moves are faster than Luigi's. He's got a superior air game, a better ground game, can easily gimp our recovery, and air camp us to death pretty much.

What I'd recommend when on the ground is using jab, occasional tilts and fireballs when he's open. Like BigLou said, Luigi's jab will outspeed MK's grounded moves, but none of our followups are garunteed unless he DI's upwards. But, since most people aren't perfect, if you are fast enough, you can probably get some mixups in. If not, just do the combo. Fireball, tornado, or tilt when he's open,but use fireballs smartly so he can't punish the lag.

You really can't challenge his aerials. Bair is probably the only aerial Luigi has that has a chance of hitting MK, but not if he spaces his own aerials well. Not really much you can do effectively.

Killing MK will be hard due to the difficulty of getting inside, but he'll die fairly early from our smashes. He still has an easier time killing Luigi with Dsmash and shuttle loop. He's also got his Fsmash to punish spacing mistakes.

Usmash the tornado.

Well, it's pretty obvious that Luigi is screwed by MK.

oK, PhantomX. Close this then.
