Luigiking's CURRENT Luigi!

[LuigiKing]

Got a couple vids of me vs Swastikapyle's Wario, which is actually pretty sick. I think these might be the best matches we've ever recorded as of late, we were both on top of our game. Since this is me playing at my best I would love some critique. Anyway here they are!

2nd match is probably the most epic spacing contest EVAR on the last stock. It was seriously the most intense match of brawl I've played in a long time :D

Edit: No idea why its sped up a tad, oh well, it probably makes brawl more interesting anyway.

 

[hippiedude92]

dude LK your DI was AMAZING on the last stock!!. How can you do it so fast? you just FAir, then fastfall then green missle right away??? i saw some crawldashing to ftilts. SEXAH! you missed ALOT of pivot grab oppunities since he loved to do double jump aerials... ill get a critique done when im done being lazy.. your di was just wow....

 

[Atash]

Is it just me, or was that video sped up 1.1-1.2x times the normal speed of brawl?

... Wow LuigiKing... wow... just... wow. You're good, SwastikaPyle's good, you're both awesome. I would be honored to get utterly owned by you some day. :-D

I lawled so hard during that 5 second sequence of SwastikaPyle F-tilting and you walking forward just to crawldash away in the second video >_< MINDGAMES!

Also - who else does that grab_release->^F-Smash trick work on (I can tell it isn't 100% reliable from your vids against Wario)?

 

[SwastikaPyle]

It kills me to say this but his wigi is seriously top tier by now.

Seriously: he taught Wigi to wavedash in brawl. Too bad he can't win a tourney.

 

[kigbariom]

Atash, you are very right, the whole match is sped up a tad. You can tell from the blinking on the edge.
Anyway,
Great d-smashes, and great ledge tactics. The things that were missing in the video's were grabs (though you used more later on) and bairs, there were a couple of times at least in the first video where a bair or two would have worked well when Wario was offstage. Defense needs maybe a little work, the roll in the first video was good but you got hit right after it. I would have used spotdodges more in that especially because of Wario's f-smash. But that is just me. You offense on the other hand was great. You were really good with SH moves, you approaches were quite fast, and you made great use of u/f tilts and fireballs. I like the idea of a foreball before getting onto the ledge for a bit of insurance.
At 2:00 why didn't Wario Waft get you?
A little too much rolling at the end of video two, but that was so intense, I understand that at that time it is up to who can hit the hardest so playing it safe is smart. Close ending nice job SwastikaPyle, and good Luigi LK.

Your Luigi is very good bud! You look fast and under control

I can't watch all the vids just yet, but my only advice is try to walk a little more before you crawldash. Sometimes you would barely move then crawldash, which gave you little to no momentum. Try giving a little more leeway when you're about to crawldash, and you should find you get more momentum. It'll also set up for more options.

Spacing f-tilt with it was too good though! ^_^

 

[zhao_guang]

Sorry for dub post

In general, you're solid. Really patient, yet you know when to go in and nice predictions. I'd say try using more jab cancels to other things, and only finish the AAA combo if you know they're out of range.

Overall, you're sick. Keep it up, top west coast weegee :D

 

[chic]

that roll approaching during last stock was hella risky, especially with the high % dmg... ur lucky he didnt dmsmash dunno if i would of done that. besides that very good luigi! dair+uair=amazing


the crawldashing was hilarious btw :D:D

 

[HURRICANE REV]

Luigiking, Your Luigi is really really good. Those 2 matches was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Also, Your DI was really good. Keep it up man .

 

[PolMex23]

ive always wondered why luigi has a random release grab on wario.

I know on the edge its always the same...but other than that usually theres no release grab...

 

[Nefarious B]

There were a lot of chances to punish wario's laggy moves with Bup, you really would have dominated if you had taken more advantage of that. Or at the end of game 1 you got a lot of aaa combos off, it could have just as easily been a bup for a stock.

 

[Yonder]

I liked the missile spike thing i the first vid.

 

[BentoBox]

Swat: Can you intercept his side-B with u-air?

 

[SwastikaPyle]

Are you talking to me?

In case you are, I would say that yes you can probably do it. I didn't do it because I'm not confident in my ability to do it properly because Wigi's green missile hitbox lasts FOREVER, and if you wiff the uair and get hit then it's a stock gone. Plus the **** missfires...

Also that missile spike was me getting a failed Waft if you look closely.

 

[LuigiKing]

Thanks a bunch for the compliments/advice guys. I'm still getting used to crawldashing so thats why I have some mess ups where I don't go anywhere =p

When I momentum cancel I don't bother with this fastfalling sillyness. When I know I'm in for it I just hold right/left on the control stick and mash A until I fair, then mash B until I green missile. What matters is how fast you can get a green missile off. I've been surviving to just plain stupid percents lately, especially against the excellent kill power of Wario.

I realized I still have a little problem with rolling too much. I often panic and just finish the jab combo when I'm at high percents as well because I fear the powershield. I don't like taking the gamble on the last stock =p The grab release on Wario seems sort of random to me. Its a free kill at 80% if you get it to work though.

One thing I have been noticing about my play is more Ftilt less Utilt. I just always feel there is something better to do than Utilt for like... every situation. I may be wrong, but Usmash or Uair always work better for me. Whatevs :S

LUIGI FOR HIGH TIER!
And @ SwastikaPyle... At the last tourney I wasn't buffering or crawldashing at all, so the next one will hopefully go better. I feel like I've hit a new benchmark in just the last week.

 

[HURRICANE REV]
