The fireball nerf only hurts novice Luigi players who rely on it too much. Skilled Luigi players will usually only use it once or twice to zone/approach, but your core gameplay is still there. You should always be mixing up your gameplay anyway so you don't become too predictable. If anything...

Wow thanks that was really helpful. What I mean by gliding is that usually with most characters, you can hold up + b + up on your control stick to glide up the lip of the stage and auto-snap onto the ledge, but with Lucario if I just hold up + b, he just bumps off and SDs.

Hey board, new Lucario player here. My main is Luigi, but I need a good character against campy/defensive characters, and I figured Lucario is pretty good since their spam just increases my aura and can't really kill me, and I've found counter to be pretty gimpy if you can counter a projectile...

I wouldn't even consider using Wario without Chomp. It's just way too good to give up. It's how I get the majority of my damage, and can still be used to edge-guard.

Meh, then I might as well just use jab. I also won't be doing 5% damage to myself, and I can still kill with judgement 1/3.

Hello board! I'm a relatively new Gdub player, and I really enjoy playing him a lot, and like his quirky tool set (customs are even more fun). Not to mention his really good combo game, and fully utilizing his edge-guarding game can be truly scary for your opponent; even more so for characters...

I see. Now I know.

Casting my approval for 1321. Neutral B I actually feel like standard Chef is pretty good, and probably your best option. It's the most versatile of all the Chefs, and is the best for mixing up your use of B. XXL Chef is waaaay too slow, and while is good for edge-guarding, Gdubs has a plethora...

Are we watching the same videos? He got the bury effect plenty of times, and it even netted him a kill against Peach. Also, it's more just about stage control IMO. You can use it to approach, and cover both ground and air options since it still buries after you dismount. Also, using it as an...

Hello ZSS players! I've been trying to find a secondary for my Luigi to try and cover his weaknesses,since he reeeally struggles with approaching campy/zoning characters such as Megaman, Rosaluma, Villager, Duck Hunt, etc. and it just seems like no matter how much I try sometimes, I just can't...

Light blue Weegee 4 life :)

Stuffing Villager's fairs reliably is harder than it seems. It has faster start up than fireball, and using cyclone to counter it just leaves you open to a punish. I guess you can shorthop fair constantly, but even still Villager has an easy time outmaneuvering Luigi. Maybe it's just the...

Villager can f-air you much faster than you can shorthop fastfall nair. And due to Luigi's poor aerial mobility, he can't cover much distance while doing it either. Pretty much all of Villager's specials (especially his customs) are for zoning/camping, and he has fast neutrals as well. The match...

^Same with Rosa or Villager. Sometimes if they know what they're doing I just can't approach no matter what I do. Then I just end up switching to Fox or Sonic >_>

IMO one of my best approach mix-ups is down B. It's great for approaching from off the ledge or when you're falling, since most people won't expect it. Just don't too it too much. It has great priority, and comes out pretty quickly as well. On battlefield, you can even hit taller characters with...
