I knew you wouldn't like my chart. You are the most radical Luigi player here...but it's fun to debate.
from day 1 to still, I firmly believe Ganondorf is Luigi's best matchup. I know you're the only Luigi here that thinks Luigi loses badly to him but I just don't see it. Luigi combos him badly, better frame data, Ganondorf has no way past fireballs at all, gets dair or cyclone spiked at low percents. His grab range is horrible, hss slower moving, and barely anymore range than Luigi sides a few attacks. The only thing Ganondorf has on Luigi is edgeguarding and f tilt.
Don't think so about Doc, it's universally agreed on Mario loses to Luigi. Doc at least has a bit of extra kick to kill earliee than Luigi, to which Mario cannot.
When the only way to survive against Sheik is to power shield everything, it is. How can Luigi realistically touch a good Sheik who optimizes fair chains and needles with a 50/50 kill confirm at 100%? Granted there's Concon vs Vinnie which sheds a bit of hope...
Meant to put DK as 45:55 DKs favor, I think he doesn't get wrecked though. DKs disadvantage is terrible, although his longer limbs, speed, and jabbing fireballs away along with a kill confirm makes him formidable. I'd know, I got wrecked by the best one in BC.
Dunno about Palu and Mii Sword, but Falco's lazer is surprisingly effective against such a slow character, reflector is better for spacing, and his moves aren't all broken by nair unlike Fox. You also have to be weary of a side b spike.
Falcon is even basically. Luigi nair on his jab breaks it, he dair spikes him and combos him, but Falcon can actually avoid fireballs unlike Ganondorf with sheer speed, and Luigi cannot answer to uair at all.
Please explain about Mac? Because a good one does beat up Luigi with super armor, but he is still susceptible to fireballs and edgeguards, and his poor grabs don't help along with Luigis grab setting up well for gimps. It's definitely winnable, and no high play evidence suggests it isn't yet.
I don't think Ganon beats Luigi, he just doesn't win that badly. You'd be suprised at how much easier it is for ganon to face Luigi than other characters. Its as simple as him getting a few good shields and he's getting good damage.
I main both Doc and Luigi, and I know both sides of the matchup. Unfortunately for Doc, he does not have reliable down throw setups on Luigi past 55 due to his slow fall speed. His combo breaker is also much more of a gamble, and simply put the main reason Doc does so bad against Luigi is his inability to easily set him up.
DK can combo break you (Up B), space you, combo you, edge guard you, force you to spot dodge to approach, what does Luigi have in comparision? Not many answers, in fact, his recovery is basically a counter to how Luigi edge guards.
Sheik. Just, sheik. Many people believe the fallacy that Sheik can fair combo you until you die as Luigi but the reality is you can just DI and nair out of it. If Sheik fairs your shield, that's an easy grab punish. If its spaced, simply powershield. Its rediciously easy to powershield in this game, so I don't see a problem with it. Plus, you should be able to get beneficial trades with dair or fair. Did I mention Luigi's projectile is much more reliable than Sheiks? Not only do you not have to be on the ground to use it, but you can use it to stop her from throwing needles. Luigi's also one of the best edge guarders against sheik. By no means an easy matchup but seriously the ratio people make for it only serves as an excuse for bad play.
Falco isn't bad for him but I don't think he's even. He doesn't have good answers when you get close to him, and he doesn't really have an answer for Luigi's edge guards aside from mixing up side b, which is an easy forward air. Plus, its stupidly easy to combo falco. I can see why someone would make it come across as even but I don't think it is.
You forget that falcon's jab gets DOUBLE naired, for an easy 24 percent. His down air is a good edge guarding option, but it will require a hard read of if your going to air dodge, when your coming back to stage, and a ton of shenanigans. The only reliable option he has to get through your fireballs is to shield, making for an easy grab setup. Most of falcons combos on Luigi should also be an easy nair unless he reads it. Its not unwinnable for him but he shouldn't be winning the matchup. The only time it gets close to even is when the falcon likes to space with back air, which then you will have to powershield or fair/dair to get a punish.
It takes about one grab from the middle of the stage for little mac to easily be setup for a double fair offstage to make an easy edge guard. Mac has basically no options for edgeguarding Luigi and the only thing he has is super armor. Mac has no reason to be winning simply because one grab from basically anywhere can mean death to him.
