Hey guys I got new vids from a tourney 2 weeks ago i think? Anyways got some good combos and new grab techs.

TheMann (Luigi) vs Epic (Meta Knight)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLOQ-KMhJhk

Check the opening combo in this one. D throw to pivot grab. Works pretty well.

OmegaXF (Marth) vs TheMann (Luigi)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck-phyS8GAQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0cbQXZ9F2k


Watch out for marth's counter while recovering. It could cost u the match. Lucky for me it was a friendly.


TheMann (Luigi) vs buttersworth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvxu3wvDVl4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ca8jXzJNJE



Irsic (Lucas) vs. The Mann (Luigi)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4R8piLmcVg

Ok I lost this friendly but it was worth it for the combo I did at 2:13



So yea thats it. All of these were friendlies so I was testing out new things with the man in green.

Please leave comments/observations, or things I can improve thanks :)

Lmao did I put this on Midwest? Too good!!

But yea I'm not quitting just yet. Just not going to be 100% weegee no more. More like 90% lol. Gonna improve that snake for the MK match up. I figured if I quit I would just be conceding to MK and I refuse to let him win!!!

Yes midwest is too good. You should come sometime. We can double weegee some people :chuckle:

Yea pivot grab set ups are old. I just would like everyone to use them more. Person I saw using it the most is biglou.

yea its an awkward match up. Especially since no one uses him really. But that match specifically people were rushing me to go to my next tourney match and I wouldn't so I was a bit distracted XD. Also Irsic is the best Lucas I played.

short hop fireball + up angled fsmash... how the hell did i forget about doing that?!?! i havent done it in months!!

Ha yea I forget that I do that. Its like second nature to me. Works wonders tho.

Oh frick at first video.

I hate so much spot dodging the jab but then getting hit by the up+b anyway.

Glad to finally see a video of a wigi actually abusing that broken fsmash.


Edit: Also you are quite correct about Marth's counter. On occasion, LuigiKing will be charging Green Missile from off the stage and I'll just float off next to him. If he does the missile, I'll counter and most likely kill him. If he doesn't, I'll probably jump back and recover, giving him a chance to make it back. It usually becomes a battle to see who will flinch first.

Alright my critique for lucas vid. *disclaimer, this what I would have done, not all things are possible but im jsut pointing out the stuff I WOULD have done if i was you*

@ : 17 = you could have done reverse upairs. It shield pokes, less knockback enabling to use 2 of them

:23 lol lucky he didnt spike you.

:30 it looks like either you were rushing or nervous, because i know many luigi players tend to tornado often espically if their nervous, or just rushing.

:45 when u were in the air, you could have done a nair since he didnt upair again

:53 bad move bro. shoryuken was wayyy too risky and you missed. Actually, after that buffer, you could have done a jab upb instead.

1:02 pivot grab dthrow him

1:07 boo i hate random dash attacks lol.

1:11. too much tornado mangz. The ending lag got you punished. Also I think you would have lived if you just Fair'd once and then green missle'd quickly.

1:33 go for quarter inch grab the edge (idk the name for this) then you could have ledgejumped bair or a ledgedrop fireball. instead you got hit since you missed your attempt in gimping him.

1:38 aw come on mangz. SD aren't kewl :[

2:13-16 = SEXY comboz!!! Jab dthrow, upair wall 4x to fair. Too good. Good **** man.

2:23 pretty obvious he was gonna sweetspot the edge. You should have grabbed it instead of attempting a fair gimp.

2:26 again a failed attempt in trying to gimp him. If it doesn't work once, dont try it again. Also nice job tornadoing w/o second jump. Usually i would have died in that situation LOL.

2:30; What was that mangz? Ledgedrop bair would have killed him. Instead you ledgedrop airdodged >.>

2:40 you were definitely scared of getting ko'd. Insteadyou GTFO'd when you had a opening lol.

3:14 ouch. That lucas was good in predicting ur roll and fsmash'd you lol.

Overall : You were either, nervous or scared or trying to rush the match. It seemed you didn't know much of lucas at all. But he was def punishable, just didn't take right decisions. I def suggest in not trying to attempting something, annd if it phails, dont try it again, like trying to fair gimp. Know how to quarter inch DI ( dunno what the the term for it but ppl grab the edge quickly lol) and reacting quickly like grab the edge> ledgedrop/jump to a bair. Also buffer more. You didn't buffer much at all the match. Lucas is small, a dair buffered to a jab dsmash works well on him.

Tourneys prolly won't be till the summer. Right now I don't really have access to a TV...nor do I still have a Wii so we could always go to one of my friend's houses and Scala might go too. He was going to last friday until he realized he has stuff going on >.>

I love your posts hippie. Always detailed and informative.

Yea I was obsessed with trying to fair gimp him because I was so convinced it would work. I'm a really stubborn person I guess lol. After the SD in that match I figured it was over tho.

Here's the match b4 that one. I did a bit better since there was no pressure on me to finish the match. Didn't post it b4 because I didn't remember anything sweet happening in it XD.

Edit: Wow irsic is REALLY good at tech reading. Don't know why I didnt realise while I was playing him

Yea TheMann is up late...but reading this is making me want to meet everybody. I think we could all get that much better if we all met in person. Guess genesis could be that chance.

IDK yall the stripclub might be too distracting to talk luigi strats in... Not that I would mind lol.

Match up I need the most work on I would say is Ice Climbers and ofcourse MK but every character loses to him.
