R.O.B. in my experience is a fairly tough one for Luigi. R.O.B. has plenty of options to deal with just about any Luigi approach you can think of, and is annoying as heck from a distance. In the air, R.O.B. has great range, speed with uair and fair, and priority. Offstage, we all know how R.O.B. kicks arse there.
35/65 imo
At least we have wario... he's ezsauce for luigi

Robert isn't bad, comon now. I played against a great one at a tournament friendly, and even without knowing the matchup at all almost won. Now high tiers who do have an easy time with are Wario and Diddy. Falco is easy too.

Huh...
Reading this makes me worry what the SBR synopsis will be on Mario...
I sense a lot of raging in the future.

Today I fough a friend, he was G&W and I was Luigi, he started camping at the ledge and then I got near him and down smashed him and he got spiked, can someone explain me what happened? and Btw I got the replay if you want to see.
Luigi down smash spikes too??!!??!! Down taunt spikes, Down Air spikes(very hard to land it), Down tilt spikes too!! and now Down smash??!!
Luigi's a spike machine, but they're all hard to land them on the enemy

This would be awesome to test.
Theory 1: It did spike.
Theory 2: His DI was weird and he pointed his DI into the stage and got stage spiked?
Theory 3: It just stage spiked weirdly.

It doesn't spike. He STAGESPIKED IT. If you stop at 0:06, you can clearly see GaW justDI'd towards the edge, trying to grab the edge, as Luigi used the dsmash on the edge and his leg his hitbox was sticking out. So basically GaW jumped into it and got staged spiked.
Well now I see the vid for the first time and clearly its a stage spike. It would have been interesting if it were a spike though.

It is definitely a stage spike. I have done that before, and it didn't spike him, which means it can only spike someone at that position.

Yup , When I 1st did that I though he got spiked then When I watched the replay I still though he got Spiked but when I uploaded the video on youtube I could clearly see he got stagespiked.

We should try to see if the spikes that other characters have that everyone thinks are spikes are actually stage spikes. Any suggestions?

I dont understanding what your talking about... but if your saying if you should try luigis dsmash on other characters to see if it stagespikes..., it does... i think..

What Im saying is that look for other "spikes" that are actually stage spikes.

err, if it contributes, i've stage spiked with a dsmash near the edge, uair, bair, and a nair. Nair was a lucky shot though. I think any move can stage spike if it can actually force the enemy to hit the ledge voluntarily/involuntarily.
On a side note, does anyone else use the edge of stages to redirect fireballs? Last time i brought it up its labeled as situational, but I do it all the time to mess up my enemies...

Spikes can't be canceled, which is why they're called spikes. They can be canceled, but it's extremely hard. You have to wait for the lag time to be over, but you usually die by that time.

well im not too good with vocab but what you are thinking of are meteor smashes and meteor cancels, meteor smashes being spikes that can be cancelled by jumping or up-b'ing as you are being launched or something, spikes cannot be cancelled like that and you must wait for the hitlag to end
at least thats what it was in melee i think
not so sure about brawl

Ok... Now I'm confused isn't a Meteor Smash a Spike?
Magnumblade
Smash Journeyman
a meteor smash is a spike that can be cancelled, regular spikes in melee could not be cancelled, and you would have to wait for the hitlag to wear off

All of Luigi's aerials have barely any lag and he has like three different kill moves. Luigi is a lot better in Brawl than in melee ( just my opinion ).

Three?
F-Smash, Shoryuken, F-Tilt, U-Tilt, D-Smash, U-Smash, Side-B, B/D/F/U/N-Air, the occasional epic rising tornado while the opponent is in the air kill... That's more than 3.

i find bair to be a pretty good kill move... at least when close to the ledge or off stage.
i like the other hit of the down smash for kills and up smash followed by f-smash....I actually purposely tilt it down to hit game and watch's shield
Luigi is a good character and he seems to do better vs the top tiers than melee but in both games he has bad to horrible matchups
in brawl, Meta (like everyone), and D3 due to infinite......and somewhat Marth
in melee, Marth
Brawl luigi is better but melee luigi was quicker to the hit
Luigi has his weakness's but he combos so well vs basically every character

One day i was fighting a Jigglypuff with Luigi.
I just KOed my opponent.
When he came back and chased after me, I naturally waited for his invincibility frames ended.
When they did I did the following, with each hit landing.
Short Hop, Back Air, Double Jump, Back Air Super Green Missle.
He got KOed again.
The best part about this is we were on the right side of the battlefield, and he died on the left.
I wish I had a video of it.
Luigi is like the ultimate punisher.
In Melee (where I also seconded him) it was next to impossible to get a Super Jump Punch off right on someone. In Brawl I do it commonly. Just need to wait for the right moment, and that perfect attack lag = ****.

Generally speaking, would Luigi be overall better than Mario? I've been thinking of maining (trial) one of the bros. for awhile, but don't know which one to. Any unbiased input would be nice.

Well I have some important information about that.
Luigi Pros.:
>Air power
>Spacing (tornado)
>KO moves
>Sickly combo skill
Mario Pros.:
>Edgeguarding
>Range (slightly more than Luigi)
>Defense
So Luigi IMHUO is the better player. However if you are a tourney go-er, keep this in mind; Luigi is crap against the main tourney characters, i.e Snake, MK, DDD. So take that into consideration
