Well, we defiantly need a new one. Videos marked "new" are nearly 3 months old. Neb offered (nearly a month ago...) To make us a new one, he can do it, or perhaps a Luigi main whose wanting to help. Those who are frequent posters or lurkers, any suggestions/volunteers/other comments?

Lol. The videos are heavily outdated even tho Luigi's meta-game hasn't gone anywhere >_>

I'm itchin to show what Luigi is but I got no recording devices :[ How ya record your matchs?
Cheap way is to record it manually with a digital camera, though it'll probably have poor quality.
Look for the Pinnacle Video Transfer, or something similar that can record it with high quality, and send the information from your system, directly to your pc.

Y'guys want me to make the vid thread?
If so, all I need is a list of Luigi Players you'd want included.

I'm fine with it, I don't speak for the boards though.

Some i'd want to see are:

Boss
Virtual Void
VEC
Vist
PolMex
SparkED
Hippiedude
Loucan
Alisavee
The Mann
Radio
(sorry if i misspelled your name or forgot you. I know there are multiple instances of both)

Basically, good players and frequent posters. Especially when playing against notable players or our hard matchups.

Don't worry about it Faith. I'm pretty sure it'll be worth seeing my luigi hehe :] Just a bad problem that its so hard to get videos these days. And Void still plays? lol.

Neb, I say don't make it yet, let's have a quick few current meta-game videos just to be sure
so that we won't make you waste your time and effort.

I agree on making a new vid thread. Also, you mispelled my name faithkeeper :D lol. Anyways, the vids I have are pretty outdated and I have some against a pretty good G&W but for some weird reason the player doesn't want me to upload them.

(maybe because after him winning the first match I made a comeback with 3 shoryuken's... Hm I don't know :chuckle:)

I'll try and get some vids up (they won't be in a very good quality though but it's something.)

it's ok, you misspelled "misspelled". lol :chuckle:

And Void still plays? .
Either way, his matches are still better than the average vid I see.

one thing the ness boards did i really liked was that they highlighted in green many of the better vids. i suggest we do this. perhaps on a "nominate, second, third" system.

Super Angry Luigi, I only saw a couple of your vids and I have some things to point out that you must improve.

- You use tornado A LOT. This makes you predictable, don't use it so much.
- try to string your attacks, you usually did downsmash to upsmash were a downsmash to Bair at those low percents would have worked wonders.

Primarily focus on not using tornado to much. Hope I could help in some way :urg:

Yeah I know I do tend to overuse the cyclone, and I have the same bad habit with Luigi's D-smash. I'm trying to cut down on my usage of the Luigi cyclone.

lol i cant believe no1 wants to critique my vids lol xD.

Im the biggest (or was) **** talker here xD
Don't worry I'll critique man. Since it was doubles though I know u would play differently in singles.

From what I saw your aerials were on point and you knew when to use the tornado offensively and for recovery. Also I like that your lookin for the jab to up + b it definitely can catch people off guard in doubles.

Only negative thing that stood out to me was the missed up + b's but thats not that big of a problem sometimes you gotta take risks to win, I still have that problem myself actually lol.

Last thing I would add is use that up angled smash man. You can kill some characters at about 70% with that its SUPER powerful.

Look forward to your singles vids too

i had teh same problem in melee. but with missfires. i found myself getting missfire alot for sum reason i always depended on it. it worked too, but not as well as acually playing.

lol, i was playing with my friend once and he said "you really on missfire WAY too much."

"No i don't" i replyd.
*missfire off the edge*
*missfire back*

"See?"

lol in tournies ive missfired a guy 6 times in the face. he was angry.

but yeah, now i don't use it unless for lulz, and my melee luigi is tournie quality now.

so advice.
don't use cyclone. AT ALL. for a while, then you will see you don;t need to rely on it then you can acually use it in situations that are benifical to you.

I actually used to NEVER use the cyclone about 4/5 months ago, but after playing some of the Luigi players on Brawl Central, and seeing them use the Cyclone, I started using it too, and now it's gotten to the point where I use it way too much, so now I'll take your advice and try to go back to not using it at all (or at least only a couple times per battle).

Ty xD. Yes, i need to add the angle up smash. In singles I clearly use it alot though, ill keep that in mind during doubs.
Missed up-Bs are usually fine, unless you miss one that completely changes the match. That happened in match 2 against GDX an HRNUT, where i just up-Bed the GaW, than rolled behind the snakes side smash.
Easy up-B right??

NO....REMEMBER
SNAKE IS GAY AN HIS HITBOX IS THIS ( l ) BIG!!!
Hes tall so remember that.
After i missed he killed me an my teamate in about 4 seconds...if i would have killed him, the match would have been different.

TY themann, but anyone else can critique also xD

I have 10 more videos from 2 days ago. Sorry for posting so many at once. If you only want to watch a few (or none at all), that's fine with me.

Vs. Brawler4life:

Vs. DK2 (Luigi dittos):

If any of you watch any of the ones against DK2, please critique his Luigi also. I'm terrible at giving advice.

Uh, I would put up some videos of my Luigi, which I think is good. But, I only have replays, so if it's possible to put them on the computer, that would be appreciated... I have some decent Luigi (Me) vs. Falco videos that were taken the other day. Granted, they were Wi-Fi so I made a lot of mistakes but the videos were a basic showing of how I play my Luigi.

Dented...

Change your mindset as soon as you know there in up-B range.

Start to camp...make them come to you, than punish.

As you know now, never recover close to the edge against a kirby. Higher is always better.

Thats its man, keep it up.

Gantrain Weegee needs work lol

Dont worry, you main mario. But focus on combo starters.
Spacing, that attacking from high to low stuff will get you no where. Tornado game is a must xD
Keep practicing

there should definitely not be any videos on here from 2008, people in 2008 have so many flaws. let's get some updates. and why aren't people posting in here? most of my techniques come from playing other luigis or watching videos. you don't learn new spaciing or strategy from watching 2008 vids...
