Luigi's defensive game

Am I the only one who is convinced Uair is Luigi's best aerial? Probably.

Depends who you're fighting.

It is an great aerial (like all of Luigi's).
I think that all of his aerials are equally useful and good. The only one that I don't use as much as the rest is FAir, though it's far from useless.

Good update, hippie. I find that I use a lot of the fireball techniques anyway. Love those little fireballs

Anyone have an example of it demonstrating invincibility or a reliable way to reproduce it? I was not able to find any on the move at all before, at least not around and when it hits. If there is any around then it's definitely not full inv and might just be on his hand/arm or something, which isn't very useful.

Anyway, jab OoS is also good. If you're punishing something OoS with it when they are in front it's faster than the u-smash would be and can lead into more total damage or better positioning for followup depending on the situation.

I just assumed upb has the inv frames. But I'm pretty def sure it has inv frames, I'm just not exactly sure which frames. How did you test it ? Like put it to slow mo getting hit by like moves like Rob's Dsmash or something?

I didn't think jab oos existed or just haven't noticed lol. I'll put out there too on the front page

D-air is my favorite move, u-air is in my opinion, Luigi's best aerial. It's surprising in a SHDA approach to set up combos, doesn't have much lag as n-air, and if the opponent is on a platform, it offers an INSANE amount of pressure. I don't think I've ever had a moment where I pressured them under a platform with u-air ****, and not gotten a hit, or a move to start up a combo.

what he said...

I've been using jab OoS for a while now its great for tacking on damge and comes out very fast and most likely you'll be sliding backwards when you do..great for spacing.

Luigi's tornado is very impressive when trying to defend or escape.
But I jump off the stage if I need to defend. on the ledge, I jump and use Tornado for height.
Tornado has lots of uses. But not as good as it was back in Melee.

This really helped a lot thanks.

Oh look it's bump a hippie day! For every bump, you earn some weed .

Bumped for the newcomers who're still learning to ulitize his defensive game.

This thread needs some re-fixing, if you guys have anything to point out to fix, or to add in let me know!
