I'm willing to give weegee a shot. Anyone got links to videos of the best luigis I can watch? I saw a couple in the "best of each character" thread in the tactical section, but they weren't very impressive, to say the least.

Any random tips? combos? or setups for a newbie?

Why the sigh on Weegee? He a good, but very underused character.

Yeah, I don't know any amazing videos of him due to no one ever playing him, so I guess just pop in Luigi smash bros brawl in Youtube or something.

OR, you can type in Super_Angry_Luigi into Youtube, he has a godly Luigi, I've only beat him twice, but sometimes he claims he sucks for some reason, even though he doesn't.

ok now surely youve been a member here long enough to know what stiky threads are
I thought I'd give a formal welcome to the luigi boards. Yah know, to give y'all some hope that some people actually think he's good, but underused? I looked at the stickies.

Luigi is a good char with large amounts of potential, but with the current lack of mains i doubt he will ever live up to near his full potential. And we are still waiting for a very high-level Luigi to emerge, so good videos are limited.

Another often repeated question. Most people above pointed out what Luigi is capable of. Luigi is basically a man in green who dominates the air, combos like a madman, can kill very low %s, he's just above around midtier material, and hes very underused.

Haxs much?

What about Ultra Luigi or Boss? Aren't they pretty godly with Luigi?
Oh, and welcome to the Luigi boards, you now have access to the Fire Uppercut.

Eh, I shouldn't be saying whose who since I don't fight them in real life or such personally, Boss is great with Luigi but he doesn't second or main him. He just plays him for fun in a particular odd playing style for Luigi. *watch his vid vs korn 3 fairs to misfire is epic lol*

Ultra Luigi ehh.. never heard of him? lol.

IMO there's not any good recent serious matches on the web right now. There's some friendly matches around that ppl have mentioned so far, and that's pretty much it.

DanGR, you say the videos you've seen so far aren't that 'impressive' yet you are just starting out with him and are asking for tips wtf?

also, here's my 2 cents on luigi 'having so much potential etc' - There's not many good players that actually use him and that's primarily the reason why you don't see a bunch of luigi's taking the top spots at tournaments. From what I've seen, most of the good players in brawl were at least decent in melee and there's a serious lack of brawl luigi players who also played melee competitively let alone melee luigi competitively.

Eh, I shouldn't be saying whose who since I don't fight them in real life or such personally, Boss is great with Luigi but he doesn't second or main him. He just plays him for fun in a particular odd playing style for Luigi. *watch his vid vs korn 3 fairs to misfire is epic lol*

Ultra Luigi ehh.. never heard of him? lol.
loooooool >_< if you don't really know either of them then why post about them?

Lol nah I don't know Boss in real life, but I've seen him through these boards once in a while and mostly Mario boards and I've seen his matchs. (psst watch him vs azen (pika) epic match lolol). Bah Boss ***** nuff said? :D

Bleh. tbh, there is more less competitive luigi players and probably more casual luigi players :[ We have to make a change on that.

why is super angry luigi so godly?
When I played him, he does these short hopped aerials, and rack up my damage so fast, then knocks me off the stage. As i'm trying to recover, he usally always gets the spike on Luigi's down aerial. He's pretty good for a Luigi player, I beat him rarely.

lol, yes? I just wanted to know what some usual luigi player bad habits are... like maybe his jab cancel to grab doesn't work so well, or he shouldn't be edgeguarding with bair at all or somethin. idk.

Seriously though, is his jab cancel>anything something to get used to? With Falco, I like to jab>cg and with lucas, it's good to jab>dtilt>ftilt.

Jab Cancel is Shoryuken haven for Luigi.

It's just as appliable as it is to the ICs. P:

theres a couple bad quality videos with good wigi's there
At ~30secs ... it looked like a tornado cancel. This is a new/unknown to me AT, and if you can reproduce it and post it on the boards, i think it could greatly increase Luigi's metagame, making tornado safer and giving it tons of mindgame potential. Possibly an edge stall too.

He got punched while using it.

It was a tornado cancel, it's just that both luigi's used tornado at same time and got cancelled at same time. Personally his luigi doesn't look anything special to me lol.
