"The more you Luma." Perfection.
Interesting video, I didn't know it was a thing.

That's a paddlin'
I'm loving this character even more now. Thanks! Didn't even know that you can change Luma's position while crouching.

That crouching thing is going to alleviate a lot of frustrating going against good Pikachus and Kirbys. Thanks!

I see the potential, good upload!

The lingering hitbox near the end has the locking properties. It's easier to get the forced getup when you hit them directly after knocking them down, and when you hit with some of the last hitboxes of the feet of the nair.

Great video! Rosalina&Luma are definitely the most technical fighters!

Awesome video.
I've a few questions on the combo that happens at 2:37. Is it a true combo ? Does anyone know a bit more about the inputs ?
I'm noticing custom moves are very popular with Rosalina. Are they really worth it ? The fact that you can't use them in competitions or in For Glory kinda ruins it.

Now that Apex is done, I've seen a lot more people in support of customs. It's worth pushing for their inclusion IMO, basically every character benefits from them.
Rosalina's best customs are Luma Warp, Floaty Star Bit, Shooting Star Bit, and Guardian Luma. Launch Star Attack is also worthy of note if only because it gives her recovery a hitbox.

Launch Star Attack is a mixed bag though, since you don't travel as far as the standard Launch Star, AND Rosalina halts her momentum after finishing the move.

I agree the downsides outweigh the benefit, but it still occupies a unique niche in her kit.

So if you tap A while luma is in jab 2 when Rosalina gets up you're going to have access to Rosalina and tilts and aerials. I haven't been able to grab out of it and I don't remember if you can use smash attacks but it's pretty cool.

You can grab or use smash attacks during luma's rapid jab if you let go of "A," then hit the c-stick or z, and then hold down "A" again very quickly afterwards.

no it's not a true combo- just a mixup.

Not everyone uses the GameCube controller though, so depending on your control scheme, you may have to alter which buttons you use to attack and grab.

I don't think people realize how big this is. I tested it and Luma's rapid jab can be tough for some characters to get through. For example Mario needs to use a smash attack to stop luma, otherwise you can hide inside him and all of his other attacks clank or just plain lose to luma and luma keeps on spinning in place. However some characters give no cares and can just tilt luma and he gets hurt and stops (shulk).You can grab or use smash attacks during luma's rapid jab if you let go of "A," then hit the c-stick or z, and then hold down "A" again very quickly afterwards.

You can easily hide in luma and you can not be grabbed, so you can just sit in shield or roll behind luma with no penalty. meanwhile you can do anything at all including up B, grabbing, pummeling, and throwing.
If you do notice your opponent is about to try to break luma out of it you can call luma back with down b (neutral b doesn't work if you are too far away you just wave your wand but if you are close you do luma shot) and if you have custom 3 luma is invincible. You can also use star bits to interrupt their attack and call luma back.

I love the stationary spinning Luma thing
