Luigi Hero Matchups and Tips

Luigi

B Tier

Luigi is a unique fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, boasting strong combo potential and surprising kill power with moves like his Down Special, Luigi Cyclone, and Up Special, Super Jump Punch. To capitalize on his strengths, focus on using grabs to set up for devastating follow-ups, and don't hesitate to employ his Neutral Special, Fireball, for zoning and pressure. However, Luigi struggles against fast characters that can outmaneuver him and punish his slower moves, so be wary of opponents who can exploit his lack of range and speed. Mastering jab locks and utilizing his Green Missile for unpredictable approaches can help mitigate these weaknesses and keep opponents on their toes.

Tips for Luigi

  • For most characters, if you down tilt around 90%, it puts the opponent into an automatic tech chase. More likely than not, they will miss the tech, which leads to a guaranteed jab-lock.
  • All I have to say against any of the weak opponents above is, jump cancel x2 with a down air In between then up B.
  • Go for jablocks to get an early kill.
  • For Luigi: Plunger combos into down air off stage at mid to high percent. It's usually best to fast fall the zair so you have maximum time to get the dair
  • I main him, so I think that you should punish up -b landings on stage with super jump punch or if you're not confident enough, you should use cyclone or grab.
