How do you guys feel Luigi does on Rainbow Cruise (vs. space animals)? I don't really want to have to use my ban on that stage.
Is it bad enough that I need a secondary for it, or is it okay once I get used to playing on it?
Any advice about playing on it as Luigi?
IMO RC is a double-edged sword for most people that pick it, as in it usually sucks for both players to some degree and seems to carry a decent amount of risk too. If they do pick it, it could work against them just as much as it does for you.
I generally don't bother banning it unless I have good reason to think that they'd actually cp it. The cp is usually better geared towards avoiding a more frequently played stage that the opponent is more likely to feel comfortable on. I would just stick it out with luigi unless your secondary is almost as good or better.
Anyway, I feel like Luigi does so-so on the stage in general vs spacies. The section with all the platforms (after the boat crashes-> the swinging platform) is the hardest part and the rest isn't so bad. During that section you get forced into the air over and over along with the ceilings / kill-zones feeling so close. It can be a huge pain when you have to approach but you gotta be patient. You could be getting lasered like crazy but at the very least you probably won't get combo'd that easily with all the platforms moving around + a lot of them not allowing fall-through stuff..
I don't think there's really much advice to give tho.. Just play it safe when you have to and try to keep your cool.
p.s. If they're picking RC then they probably feel bad about themselves. Make the most of the situation by reminding them that they are lame & probably wouldn't beat you on a neutral stage, that you thought there wasn't time for (rainbow) crews at this tournament, and that they were adopted...... idk..
