---|---|
A, A, A | Jab, Punch, Butt Slam. A fast but weak attack. |
Forward + A | Luigi does a straight kick. Pushes the enemy back. |

Down + A | Luigi makes a low kick. |
Up + A | Luigi uppercuts the opponent. Hits primarily above him. |
Smash Forward + A | A karate-style punch. It's not very strong, but funny. |

Aerial Attacks[edit | edit source]
Button(s) | Description/notes |
---|---|
Neutral A | Luigi sticks his leg out in front of him. Unlike most, it gets more powerful the longer it stays out, but not by much. |
Forward + A | Luigi makes a chop hit. Sends enemies forward; it's a good finishing move. |
Backwards + A | He swings his feet behind him. Somewhat fast, okay range, sends enemies sideways. |
Down + A | Luigi spins around. If the enemy is placed around Luigi's limbs, it can work as a Meteor Smash. |
Up + A | Luigi does a backflip, swinging his leg primarily in front of and above him. Sends enemies up and forward some. Fast, low knockback. |
Special Attacks[edit | edit source]
Button(s) | Attack | Description/notes |
---|---|---|
B | Fireball | Luigi throws a fireball out in front of him. The fireball only goes straight forward, unlike Mario's fireballs. It isn't very fast and doesn't do much damage. |
Up + B | Super Jump Punch | Luigi uppercuts an enemy, and if an enemy is vary close to Luigi, he'll do a fieryuppercut with 25 % damage. If not, the enemy only gets 1%. Unlike Mario's/Doc's Up + B, this move only goes straight up. |
Down + B | Luigi Cyclone | Luigi spins around rapidly, sending enemies every which way. This attack can be used for recovery if the player is tapping the B button very, very fast. |
Forward + B | Green Missile | Luigi flies forward, this move can be charged to go more forward. It's a 12,5 % chance of the Green Missile being a Spontaneously Misfire. The Misfire makes Luigi go even more forward than usually. |
Throws[edit | edit source]
Button(s) | Description/notes |
---|---|
Down | He throws the opponent on the ground, who then bounces up. |
Forward | Luigi swings around once and throws the enemy forward. |
Up | Luigi simply throws the enemy up. |
Back | Luigi swings around several times, throwing the enemy behind him. A respectable kill move. |
Advanced Techniques[edit | edit source]
Luigi Ladder[edit | edit source]
This trick requires two Luigis standing within range of their up-B attacks, but so that their up-B does not connect with its fiery sweet-spot. At this point, both Luigis can alternate using their up-B attack, climbing higher and higher into the air; they will accumulate damage but never die. This tactic can be used as a stall in team tournaments and is usually banned.
