What is a perfect pivot?


It's basically a semi-wavedash!

Best thing: Luigi has the 2nd longest perfect pivot (shared with Little Mac). Captain Falcon has the longest with 6.

Will this enhance Luigi's playstyle?

PPing into up B or fsmash seems really potent. There have been many times where I was *just* out of reach of a punish. Punishing OoS would also be very nice too, since Luigi always gets knocked way back.

I don't see how this wouldn't improve every character, but considering Luigi has KOs starting from ~60% at his disposal, I think I might spend some time learning this.

I think this great as it helps Luigi's approach game which is not his strongest suit. By setting the c-stick to tilts and utilizing zaw dancing we can space out our moves without being in range for punish. The best ways to utilize this is by using uptilt. Uptilt actually lets Luigi continue the sliding animation allowing us to get in a combo/juggle opportunity.

Perfect pivot into reverse d-smash/u-smash is...really awesome. Perfect after fair juggles at low percents.

I have a hard time ppivoting forward into turnaround still :(

Perfect pivoting after shielding any attacks is great because it actually puts you back at range to punish them because Luigi's slippery-ness pushes him so far back.
