The Official Luigi in Brawl Topic (CONFIRMED! Pictures inside!)

[SonicMario]

There will be always at least one thing that makes Luigi similar to Mario. But at least he'll never be the exact same like he was in his 1st appearences. In Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros., there was NO difference between him or Mario.

Honestly, I wouldn't even call them clones. I think that they have finally changed all of the clone-ish characters enough to make us stop refering to them as clones. They have the same animations, but their attacks don't work the same at all any more... Except the Landmasters.

Scratch what I said about Captain Falcon and Ganondorf. The only pair left from the clone wars is Fox and Falco, and I've yet to confirm this. The reason I say that is because... take Lucas and Ness for example... although they have similar special moves, they have two different games. Someone who is good with Lucas won't be also good with Ness only because they're good with Lucas. The same applies to the other semi-psuedoclones (Marth/Ike, Wolf/Fox/Falco, Captain Falcon/Ganondorf, and Link/Toon Link).

Luigi was a clone in the original. He was a Luigified Clone in Melee. He's not a clone at all in Brawl.

The schism began in Lost Levels. Luigi could jump higher and had worse traction. Two differences that are consistent in almost all of Mario and Luigi's subsequent appearances. It's pretty neat.

I agree. Even though I'm not a frequent falco user, I thought that his final smash should have been an Arwing that would like fire lasers first then finish with a dragoon attack. But nooo he gets a Landmaster. So unlike Falco.

I'm sorry this got waay offtopic.

I'm glad Luigi has striking similarities to his Melee counterpart. The only differences being his art change and his voice change which is anything but bad news.

His specials got greatly improved too. Almost all of them are better than thier Melee counterpart.

I like Luigi's taunts. Speciffically the look at screen and Home Alone 1 kid style scream.

 

[Potato Keyboard]

Yeah those are awesome, though I think the scream is from Luigi's Mansion.
Whatever lol, I know what you mean.

 

[SonicMario]

I know that. But still, it reminds me of the Home Alone kid.

It would have been cool if Luigi had the poltergeist 2000 as his down special, but i'm not complaining about the tornado move
