As Luigi, I have a really hard time facing zelda. (Not anywhere near as hard as MK, mind you). Point being though, besides fireballs and rushing with the tornado, I can't really get up close to zelda. Its not like Dins fire is a problem, since the Nair will cancel it out, but I have no way to attack from above due to zelda's Usmash, and Luigi doesn't have much against zelda's Fsmash either. Once I get a combo going it works out just fine, but honestly, I have no way to get in close at all. Should I find a counter pick or does anyone have any help out there for me?

Pick up your phone when I call, you *****.

Honestly, all you have to do is hit me off the stage. It's Luigi's turf out there, Zelda is crap when she has to recover from anything. Use more fireballs and sliding dodges to get past the smash attacks, then d-smash when you're right next to me.

ITS NO FUN WHEN YOU CAN'T FIRE UPPERCUT like a *****, is it?

well when facing a good zelda you have to aproahc darefully, i know that upsmash hurts.


generaly, i aproahc using my standard method, amke sure to mix it up a bit tho.

sh dair-> nair
hit the dair on their sheild then the nari pops out ncie and quik they wil usualy try to sheild grab it. it wont work for them. and if they try to upsmash this, the nari will come out quiker. but this gets predictable so anotehr few methods is like.. well.. frieball-> tornado just to get in close and attack in the air

or fireball-> tornado, move towards them then move back then do the sh ariel-> nair

OR fake out two sh fairs, and land into an ftil, then chase.

once your hit with and upsmash, DI AWAY from them as far as you can, with zeld, you can be diing towards them in hopes of dodging or attacking first. DI AWAY FROM THEM AT ALL TIMES.

then repeat your aproach wait for a kill/combo opertunity and youl be gold.

Wishing Apex 2012 happened again.
Don't worry about Zelda. I had a hard time when i first fought one. Keep cool and calm and don't lose it when you get spammed by Din's fire. Always keep on the pressure on Zelda so she'll be forced into close combat as she is slow in terms of aerials compared to Luigi. When she spam's Din's fire, go either powershield it or sidestep. You'll have to get used to the timing. Also keep juggling her and do well spaced Bairs so that you won't get caught in her fsmash or usmash

i was having the same problem with zelda because my friend mains him and counter picks falco falco isnt a problem but zelda annoys the **** out of me with din's fire then as soon as i get close hes not going for the fsmash hes counterattacking and i dont know how to beat his counter except for try and get em on the lil bit of lag after the counter. i like the fireball spam adn shDair to try and annoy him back. any thoughts on zelda's counter with luigi adn how to get past it?

This will get predictable if you use it to much but short hop air didge is useful. Don't spam fireballs, they can be reflected...easily.
