Hey um, I need help with my Luigi:
1. I have this bad habit with rolling with him. It's starting to annoy me, and others.
2. I can never seem to time my Down-Taunt perfectly when an opponent comes to the ledge. Can I have some help with that as well?
rolling maybe a bad habit, but considering luigi it's best to use it at the right times. Otherwise to fix this problem save two of your matches and watch them again. Then for example observe a moment in the match where you're being pressured by your opponent and you are in shield or not in shield.
Take into consideration the following options that can be used in a up close situation instead of rolling. you can
1. out of shield, jump and do nothing just get away, Jump nair, jump bair, jump fair, jump dair, jump fire ball, jump to cyclone back onto the ground or just rise with cyclone.
2. out of shield, upsmash. If you're using a Gamecube controller and you have tap jump on. As you are in shield press jump on either the gray c stick or your jump button, then input upsmash with attack and a direction at the same time you will up smash out of your shield.
3. If you get a powershield up b out of your shield to get a fire punch kill.
4. spot dodge or roll away
5. just stay in shield.
Once you open your mind to the different options that you have you won't be limited to just rolling or in other words now that you know you have other options you will know not to roll.
2. eh it's up to you. There is no real easy way to do it. You will just have to learn the timing of when the dtaunt comes out and guess if it will hit you're opponent as they are recovering back to the ledge. But this isn't a major part of Luigi's game it's powerful, but not reliable to use.
