luigi's dair is escapable omg whaa?marios dair is escapable and easy to overprioritize woooohooooo
luigis downb hits on like frame 1 and stops combos like nobodys buisiness and his finisher is ********
whooohohohohoooooo
you can slide luigi's upsmash making it have a way bigger horizontal distance.Mario's fireballs are much, much better than Luigi's, and fireballs can make a HUGE difference. At lower levels of play, people generally get hit by them a lot, and at higher levels dealing with a fireball can leave you open to a skilled player, if only for a few frames-- but a few frames is, obviously, all you need if you're really good.
Edgeguarding, in particular, is one thing that Luigi's 'balls can pretty much just NOT DO. Like, at all. ^_^
Besides that, though, I'm really not sure why people seem to assume Mario's superiority. His short hop is shorter, yes, but that only really makes him easier to play at lower levels, not necessarily BETTER. (Clearly, it makes you use different tactics at higher levels with Luigi... but "different" isn't the same as "worse".)
I forget if Luigi's or Mario's smash moves are better; I seem to find that Mario's usmash is faster--and the hitbox extends further behind Mario than Luigi's--but Luigi's lasts longer (it can hit in some instances that REALLY look like the hitbox should be gone by that frame ^_^).
Anyways, Luigi's Up+B can never, EVER be overlooked. A finisher like that can even a playing field like nobody's buisiness. X| Also, the sheer amount of recovery height available is crazy-- Luigi's down+B can easily get as much height as most character's double-jumps, and his up+B has surprisingly good priority/hitbox size.
Mario's dtilt is wayyy cooler though.
It's quite useful in money matches.and here I always thought you win by getting rid of the other guy's stocks
didn't know it was getting money
huh? [i think he means Up+B too]Anyways there is something special with luigi's upsmash. if you press forward and back really quick before the animation starts he will jump higher.
yeah i meant up -b but I guess the forward and back thing is only for keyboard... O.o I was testing it yesterday that was the only way I could do it.huh? [i think he means Up+B too]
You don't have to press forward and back by the way.
Same goes for Mario.
It gives you 3 frames extra height. This means you can fall for an extra 3 frames and still make it back.
You don't know what you're talking about.Fireballs don't do that much in an experienced match.
