This is the first step of the hint, and although not much is given, the goal of the hint seems more than obvious when you realize it. You're supposed to look at my AIM profile (Dazwa070) and find funny conversations with friends I saved, including this fake one...Aim for Dazwa
The mentioning of Overswarm in the conversation, while it may seem normal, is actually a nod to the fact that conversation is SBR related and thus, a key to the puzzle. The next step is in the picture...Dazwa070: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/6568/agrdefcatpc9.jpg
Sliq1337: AGGRESIVE CAT IS AGGRESSIVE
Sliq1337: DEFENSIVE CAT IS OVERSWARM
Hidden in the picture (which, unfortunately, is pretty easy to spot, I had intended to make it harder and require adjusting contrast or brightness to reveal it, but couldn't get it to work...) is a series of what seem to be random letters and numbers...
But if you know your way around the internets, you might notice it looks strikingly similar to a youtube video url, which gives youtaDHl6xEDpE
Going to this video, you find a video uploaded by a "PKLUVA," (who was a username key to solving last week's puzzle), titled "???????????." It's a simple video, displaying
And playing some music. The song is being played backwards, and is the SMB3 tune redone in Mario Galaxy, to key people into realizing it's a Mario character (and potentially making them over assume it's Mario), but that ignores play on words given above (with thanks to Overswarm). It translates to "Eternal Understudy," which is what Smash 64 referred to Luigi as.STUDY

ETERNAL
I've been able to do it consistently if you fully charge or misfire into a flat surface.Best taunt, hands down.
Incidently, I've seen a few times that Luigi can get 'stuck' in the side of some stages with his forward B, but haven't been able to replicate it. Anyone know if you need anything in particular? (Full charge, Misfire?)
Also, if you angle his Fsmash upward it has IASA frames and can be done in succession.Up-angled Fsmash is WTF fast for its strength. Its a great attack.
Couldn't agree more... too bad all the good characters (and some of the bad) have good range and Luigi doesn't. Part of why I dropped him quickly after trying to pick him up early on in Brawl.anyone with more range than him seems to destroy him and anyone with equal/less range than him seems to GET destroyed BY him XD
Yeah, that's what I meant.Also, if you angle his Fsmash upward it has IASA frames and can be done in succession.
You can get out of it before 30%; I know I did that lal the time with ROB before 30% anyway. After that, one hit + d-throw worked a lot.i want to say that the standing infinite can be escaped by mashing quickly. I believe that you have to do grab hits inbetween each throw to avoid the dthrow going stale. So im pretty sure if you mash hard you can get out of the infinite, don't quote me on any of this
Yes, in an ideal world, as luigi, you would spend every moment nearly overlapping your opponent. The problem with luigi is getting there. Fireballs help, but convincing your opponent that in your face is where they want to be is a very difficult thing to do.I love playing as Luigi if only because it feels, like Sonic and MK, that you should always be in their face. I think that Luigi requires a bit more thinking than MK, though, because of his bad range.
This probably sums it up the best. I mean, let's have a look at it. (I'll keep it short because noone likes a wall of text)Luigi definitely has potential.
I knew you'd come around eventually.I personally think after us Luigi mains get our act together he is going to be high tier... if that happens.
It's basically a original wall cling version made for luigi. It's unreliable though mostly made for mindgames etc. And no misfire isn't required for it.Best taunt, hands down.

Oi Oi, not only that, but if you shield a hit close to the edge, you'll bounce off and grab the edge. That makes for some quick counterattacks.Im surprised on how they didn't mention about luigi's unique low traction. He gets one of the best hyphen smashs, he can escape combos, it increases his dsmash range. Although it does have drawbacks such as not abling to shield grab which is why powershielding plays a larger role for wigi, he can't follow up with combos, and its harder for him to do OOS options.
iirc, luigi does well against diddy, wario, does around equal against kirby/pika/lucario/rob/snake.
