Smashboard's 1st Sole Survivor
Source?So zero states that Luigi is top 5/ top 7 in this game, and that m2k shares the same opinion. Do you guys agree or disagree with this sentiment?
But anyways, lol no. Zero and M2K literally say "insert character here" is top 5 every week. They literally did the same with Mario. I know they are good players, but I would take their opinions on tiers with a huge grain of salt.
Luigi is not top 5 though. Not even top 10. 15 is a major stretch and improbable. Anything else though seems ok, I think around 16-20.
Remember guys, for all of Luigi's best combos in the game, he's not any faster in the air, traction is still bad, and his fireballs are just...meh. Also his grab range isn't great. He can still be kept out by swords and his recovery is sub-par compared to other higher characters like Villager.
Of course, I don't have the Wii U version sadly, I hear he kills earlier in it though which is a huge plus. Also perfect pivoting might hold some huge warrant for Luigi in the future. Honestly, if perfect pivoting gets mastered by Luigi, allowing him to attack with moves that would leave him just out of range, he'll be top 15.
And if Luigi somehow also finds someone to master the D throw to dair chaingrab along with perfect pivoting...then I could possibly say top 10. But I have yet to see Dair chaingrab even applied to a match yet so I don't hold much regard for it.
Isn't it funny how far the green plumber has come from a "bottom 3?" character?
