I think he means getting up from the ledge. And yes I struggled with this for a while as luigi as well. Tbh you never really want to be out there as any charachter in this game unless you are wiifittrainer or villager. Other than those two charachters being at the ledge is a very dangerous proposition in general because of how ledge mechanics work in this game. My advice would be to come to the ledge and use fireball as you are falling this forces your opponent to shield and prevents them from gimping you. Now lets say you make it back onto the ledge, there are 5 options you can go for:Unfortunately, approaching is a major weakness for Luigi. His approach options are limited and predictable; they can be countered.
For projectile spammers, particularly someone like Zero Suit Samus or Pikachu for example, cancel their projectiles with a Fireball or just run and shield. You should be patient with your play to think of a strategy.
You can run and shield just for your own punish, such as a down throw or a different move (like maybe a sliding up smash). This one is a bit more tricky because there could be the event of you messing up and getting punished yourself.
For Fireballs, you can cancel them and spam them, but be careful because they could rush in and hit you hard. Fireballs are mainly used for baiting tools in this situation. If they are getting impatient, then make them play your game and bait them.
I can't say for sure how to counter which projectile character you're talking about because you didn't specify the character. You will need to do something different in each situation if a character does projectile spam you.
Though, I am unsure by "getting off the ledge." What is your issue with that?
