This was the last tournament I will use Luigi all the way. It was the FIU tourney in FL, where i was beat by a MK player(Gmoney) for the last time.

Luigi, my fellow mainers, will never beat a good MK. Never, for if you can handle them on stage, off stage you will get gimped. An automatic death once off stage unless you get a misfire.

So I picked up Snake, and I recommend my fellow Weegee peeps to pick up either Snake, or MK, or Donkey Kong, Diddy, and maybe TL or Lucario.

Sad yes but, I do not need to read MK players, no what there going to do, yet not really be able to do nothing about it. So im very good with snake now and Im pickin up DK.

I will use Luigi for every single char, no matter what the match up, to prove im the better player. But against a MK, they shall face Snake.

Another thing, G&W is no longer hard for me, and I have beaten all of the best in FL (xYz, Raef, GDX, BANE) and Michigan (Needles of Juntah).
G&W is easy. Be patient, dont air dodge alot, time your air attacks, and punish his smashes. G&W will die at 42% from a up-B. You will have 8 chances every match to pull off a up B.

One more thing, Kirby is an extremely difficult match for Luigi. But, Hope you get a platform stage first, cuz you must win there. They will take you to either Final Des or Poke Stadium 1. It is very hard to win at those to but stay strong, i almost did.

Remember not to recover from low to high, cuz the down drill will R@PE your face to the floor...easy gimp spike for the Kirby...

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, take the Kirby to Luigis Mansion,,,,

I did it to be funny in losers bracket, for I was sure to win. The Kirby player was skilled (his name was Skell) But, he seemed easy and predictable. But, at Luigis Mansion, its a bad match up. Why? cuz I was stupid...yes. But, Kirby can combo like hell at that **** mansion. Dont go tthere against a kirby player..please.

So remember, pick up snake or DK or Diddy, and use them for MK. The match Up is just impossible for Luigi.

You are very very correct. A good meta will almost certainly be able to beat a good luigi. Ive started doing exactly what u stated in the last tourney i went to and used snake against meta cuz i have no idea how luigi can beat a good meta. The dair gimp on the cyclone recovery is too much for me.

Well, tell us something we don't know? A good skilled Luigi player will most likely beat a nub or average Mk. But with both players with equal skill level, of course Luigi will lose. This is why we have secondarys. But since I'm way too cool to fight Mks ( I only fought a average Mk *cries) I just see what I can do against them. On the other hand, I seem to **** with Marth even since Melee I don't even second him at all, but I might second him after all. I was planning on getting GaW as a secondary ( he isnt infinited by D3, big advantage, does decent against snake/Mk). But I'm like fk that ****.

So yahh.. btw, if you play a good ICs that knows how to infinite, you'll learn how to play defensive, camping, avoiding shieldgrabs :D *just played a good IC today*

Yea meta is ridiculous to fight against, its like he was made to beat Luigi.

But I'm glad somebody else realizes G&W isn't impossible though. He is such a light character that Luigi can KO him with an up tilted smash at about 70%.

Also jab up + b is pretty easy to connect on him and his bucket loses usefulness thanks to the lag cuz he'll catch an up+b to the face!!!

Exactly...i mindgame them with spam so they catch a fireball...then catch a flying uppercut to the jaw.

Oh an GaW isnt good against snake. Marth can go toe to toe against MK. I recommend Diddy, DK, and Snake...those are manly secondarys....especially the king of the Jungle

GaW= turtle = ****
Snake = gets ***** in the air espically with turtle :D

My marth > GaW/Mk/Snake hands down :o!!

I wouldnt mind changing my secondary to DK. He has some kickass range and great ground game.

Honestly, I'm not the best player out there, but I'm good. My group of friends has two tournament level players at the moment, one of whom (the better of the two) who mains Meta Knight.

My main has always been Toon Link and the match up basically ***** me into the ground when I play TL, EVERY single time. Heck even when I pick up my secondaries (Zelda, Sheik, Dedede), I usually get ***** pretty hard.

But the other day, as fate would have it, I picked up Luigi in a fun match and realized I was ****** peoples faces with him.

Then we switched to Tournament style matches for some practice as the MK mainer arrived (Ulevo, for the record, no MK push over. He is the sole reason I despise MK). So I was fighting him and I knew he was going to play MK, and figuring that all of my other mains get ***** pretty hard by his MK, I decided to go with Luigi, cause frankly I didn't know any of his match ups yet.

I did better against his MK than I have EVER done. Admittedly I didn't win, but I got him to his last life and some decent damage in, on one of his own personal counter picks (not necessarily a counter pick for MK, but a stage he does well on and will pick to screw people up).

Keep in mind that I did this on the very first day I EVER picked Luigi up, before I'd even have time to look at the meta game and figure out the tricks. Though I suppose it could just be that the player in question isn't familiar with Luigi, I'd feel far more comfortable fighting an MK with Luigi than I would TL (who I am a fair bit better with).

I bet Luigi's rank would soar if MK was banned... but MK isn't that broken yet.

He would soar up like a eagle, if D3 wasnt there waiting for an infinite. Did you know fox and PT HAVE BETTER TOURNEY RESULTS? WTFHAXS.
Better than Luigi or D3? Cause last i checked Luigi is third from the bottom in tournament status...so i wouldn't be surprised about that. I think D3 was put by Sakurai to tame the beast that is the man in green >_>

There should be a bigger focus on the ratio of winners. If 20 Meta Knights enter and only 1 comes in the top 10 then that simply means that 1 player is exceptionally skilled.

Personally, I think it's because there are very few consistent WeeGee mainers.
