What gives guys? Is it just that there are so few Luigi mainers out there, or do we just have nothing interesting to talk about because Luigi's metagame is going nowhere? We need something to spark us into action guys :( Just saying...

I totally agree on this. QFT! I think it's like only me, spark, and Loucan and a few others (too lazy to type out the rest) are like trying to get this meta-game come up and go -.-. Really, no one has barely even posted my Luigi stage discussion which is easy as pie. Pretty sad imo.

Here's the thread :

http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=183730

Can you believe we're kinda inactively horribly and yet we're like midtier on the tier list? ( even though there isnt a real one but still)

I use Luigi as a secondary...i say you get a Luigi chat room going like the Lucario boards so you guys can communicate more easily. Trust me it really works, you guys should also try to make a video strategy guide for Luigi...this will get more people to main Luigi and will lead to more discoveries.

i say try to make a video like this but for Luigi

Somebody should go to http://www.globalgamers.net/ and make a Luigi chatroom.

Luigi doesn't get nearly enough love in Brawl. He's one of the better characters in the game thanks to cyclone giving him height and fire jump punch killing at 50%. Since the latter is so fast, he probably has the most potential of all the characters.

They attempt a running attack or grab? Spotdodge and fire punch.
They attempt to smash? Spotdodge and fire punch.
They make the mistake of getting ontop of you? Fire punch

You'd be surprised at how many opportunities you have to do it during a match.

You'd be surprise how many times I laughed when I got misfire kos lol. Luigi is one of those character's that is truly unpredictable and that can make you go " WTF"!?!

Yeah I only second Luigi so I've been spending too much time on the Sonic boards...I'll try harder and devote more time to Luigi!

More people would main Luigi if they knew how to get better with him and if there were more techniques discovered. I recomend getting an IRC chat made so all the Luigi mains or secondaries can get together and try and discover some new stuff

I Like Luigi too, i'm trying to figure out tricks for him and his Meta game. He's a really good character.

Sometimes, it depends where he's baing talked about. On another site, he's by far the most talked about Mario character at least (actually, on alot of sites he is), juts not this one I guess.

Bah this sucks, almost everyone seconds Luigi. Am I the only one that mains the mario bros and seconds a high tier character?
i main luigi and second chars like mk and falco although i find myself use the latter two more because with luigi there isnt as many things you need to learn.

Hippie we're in this together :D I main Luigi and second... well Sheik... but also Fox. I dabble in Diddy Kong as well, but the only reason I even have a secondary is because my friends get too pissed because I win as Luigi every time... then again half of them don't even know how to appropriately fast fall or even short hop =/ Point being I'm a very serious Luigi mainer. Today against a friend playing Lucario, I tripped with a Dtilt twice in a row then KOd with an uppercut, it was awesome. Either way, we need more metagame discussion. I might make a mini guide on tornado uses, because I've gotten so many gimp kills with it you wouldn't believe... And I think making a video guide is a good idea too, but I don't have a cable...

I used to main Lucario, second Luigi.

Now I main Luigi, second Lucario.

Killing with Fire Jump Punch is especially rewarding!

Glad to hear that someone like you is out there. Yea I'm a serious Luigi main as well. I techanically second Fox but I'm not working on him for now and he's my favorite since 64 :D. But mostly I secondary character's that Luigi has the hardest time with. I like poping out my Luigi in battles making peoples going " that's a nice luigi or your the best luigi i've fought so far" It almost makes Luigi god tier lulz. I totally agree with you on the meta-game thing, I'm at the point where I don't need to improve my Luigi except for the silly stuff like spacing and such.

I'm making a Luigi firepunch kill % chart right now, will post abit later. A video guide sounds great but I don't have a cable :[. I was snooping around Mario boards, their making a very comphensive guide for Mario which the Mario community itself is making and contributing. We should do something like that too. So let's go Luigi boards !!! IMPROVE HIS META-GAME GAWDAMIT :O

QFT :laugh:. I haven't been able to test much recently, since basically I start university in two weeks and I have had recent tournaments (9th/40 FTW), so I have been very busy. This week I won't log in (university stuff) and I'll probably be practicing for a Melee/Brawl tournament this Saturday, so if I find any discoveries with Luigi I'll be sure to post next week.

Also, let me point out that there are only two Luigi mainers in Puerto Rico, JoeGreen and myself, and others use it as a secondary probably 3 more users there. Competitive wise that's about all luigi's that I've seen.

As hippiedude said let's improve his metagame!

By the way, I had done some research previously and it is related to the upsmash, so if it turns out to work then I'll post it here some day.

Well im in the middle of kansas and im pretty much new to maining luigi, i use to main link but i like luigi the most hes so much fun to play with and especially fun to piss off people i play when they **** up with like zelda or samus on their last life and transform walk over taunt and fire jump them in the face and laugh at them :p.

But yea i agree we should all get like a chat room thing going on or hell use facebook chat, and get to making the meta game awesome. Theres so much potential with luigi too the 3 angles of the karate chop, the firejump punch, the spike(s), the juggling, the approaches, the defense, theres so many things to do with luigi and none of them are bad. We just all have to unite and make luigi feared by the snake's MK's and falcos all out there, on top of everyone else.

and the last tournament i was at had about 70 people and i didnt participate but i played some people and when they saw luigi they all went wtf how can u play luigi he sucks........ i proceeded to play and showed my response by FIRE JUMP PUNCH *****ES!, but yes we'll all have to collectiviely work on wigi and make him the true Cuban Missile Crisis.

WIGI's UNITE!!!

Sorry but I think this is half the reason why Luigi's metagame is so weak at the moment... Its a downward spiral, since no one is discovering new techs with Luigi, less people play him, and the cycle keeps going until Luigi is 3rd most inactive on smashboards =/ There is a freaking ton of stuff to learn as Luigi... People just want others to find it for them instead of doing it themselves.

Thats why we get a chat room and we talk about things with wigi. the more we talk as a collective luigi mainers the more we can discover rather than have one person busting *** and others waiting for tricks of the trade with wigi and reaping the benefits of it, but as long as we get wigi more active and we can move his meta game ahead we'll b good to go.

and if you play luigi and think there isnt a lot to learn, then look at this can u spike with down aerial 100% can you juggle perfectly can you dtaunt spike at will if you can lets get to making more people like you if you cant then i guess theres still things to learn eh? not to mention lets uncover tricks together if you find something cool or you think is cool post about it and let others help and maybe make it a new tactic with wigi or a fun thing to do.

everyone is looking for a way to win no matter who you are and in order to get there we'll all need help and if just a little improvement is made in luigi's progression then its working.

Bah, I need to post that firepunch spread sheet kill chart thinggy. >.>. I agree with the posts above ^^
We should get a chat room going. It'd be alot easier to chat with. Maybe aim is good as well? Here's my aim if any of you doods was to hit me up . " xxpinoyboy1992xx"

I'm thinking of a thread where it's all about luigi or something for newbs to look into so we get more players and hopefully have more contributions. Yes or no? :3

I'm back from vacation... And I'm going to get better with Luigi (though that isn't easy seeing as my sister is very busy these days). I secondary Bowser and Wolf (though I suck with them for now) and I plan to dabble in Snake, G & W, Meta Knight, Wario, Olimar and Ganondorf as well. I'm also going to study King Dedede (and hopefully get to play against a decent one), ZZS, Toon Link, Zelda/Sheik (who my sister is definitely going to play as... I think), and Pikachu. After all, knowing your enemy is the greatest path to victory.

And yes, I'm probably lucky if I manage to fulfill all of my goals.

I was just recently enlightened by Weegee, and I think we do need more discussion here.
Hm shall I make a weekly discussion of Luigi? The other boards seem to have one and not us. A great insight by other players can help contribute to his meta-game and learn stuff we probably don't know. Or a Q&A (Question and answer) is perhaps better or should i just make both?

I say we do both. More people need to pay attention to Weegee. (And yes, that was a Brawl Taunts reference.)
