Don't judge by posts they are but a mere counter for the times i have spoken my mind on this site, if you know how to fight Ike you can win, and i have really only faced three snakes who were actualy trying. But tell VEC how do you fight snake? (I fight plenty of marths so I don't get ware you are coming from thare)

I'm new to playing luigi, but how does his green missle technique fare against projectiles like snakes nakita missle? Because if it fared well, like put you at an odd angle or you didn't go flying I'm guessing you could use green missle to close in on your opponent and bring him in range for luigi's up b move or some combination of jabs and smash attacks. But if that works it would help you against projectile opponents like snake

Neither Snake, Marth or Ike destroy luigi.

Especially vs. Ike. Use Fireballs, everytime, until he is forced to approach you. Then if you're moderately good, it's game over for Ike.

Marth is good, but not THAT good. I really don't know what to say besides be good at the basics.

Snake is good, but only because he's broken, not because he counters luigi. My best tip for fighting Snake is to be very patient so you don't suffer damage from his grenades, mines, and upsmash. The grenades don't explode on impact, so you should be able to dodge thrown ones. But what they really get you with is when they hold one and shield when you hit, or you'll grab and it'll explode, they roll, etc. They'll do a similar thing with their upsmash- they use it to cover themselves from your approach, if they up-smash, you dodge the upsmash but grab them the return drop of the mortar hits you. Once you start playing careful enough to simply not get hit by these, the rest of Snake's moves, although good, shouldn't give a character like Luigi a problem.
Finally, if you learn to hit with the spike portion of the dair you can kill Snake's recovery.

Game and Watch and Meta-knight are a bit different.
Game and Watch is so-so. You're disadvantages- G&W has insane smash attacks and pretty good aerials.
You're advantages- G&W is very lightweight. So you should be able to KO each other around the same %. G&W might have some great aerials, he doesn't have as much aerial mobility as you, so the trick is is to see things like the bair coming and simply getting out of the way. You can't punish his bair, but in the long run that's okay.

Meta-knight is your worst match-up. I don't have any advice to make this match-up easy. I only have a few tips- don't try to airdodge the mach tornado- instead get above it and use a dair. The hitboxes on the tornado are in a V shape around meta-Knight, with nothing on the top. No ground-based move out-prioritizes the tornado for Luigi, although a bair or something in the air might have the possibility of doing it. Shield the Drill attack. He's lightweight, so KO him quickly. I don't advise using the tornado for approach on the ground.

Thank you, this is the help I wanted.

Luigi is good at smashing and his fireballs are very nice! I say you should hit them off the stages if you want to win the fights! I hopes this helps you!

Luigi should have np with lucario since he is easy to gimp, and Luigi can do that better then anyone. Luigi has trouble w/ MK, and Snake, sadly both dominate tourny's. I can beat most MK's just by practice, but only super good snake I ever played (Cort) wtfbbqkitten pwned me which was expected honestly. Ike is easy since he is kinda heavy and easy juggled and very easy to ledge gimp, just remember fire balls are your friend and even though they don't look like the cool paper flamed ones of the 64 days, they work much better. ^^;

Luigi gets out prioritized by his down air and he luigi can't kill like he does.
