Aerial Attacks

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.

Backwards + A	He swings his feet behind him. Somewhat fast, okay range, sends enemies sideways.

Special Attacks

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

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.

Luigi Ladder

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.
