Ice Balls

[Jellyfish4102]

I can understand Sakurai's hesitance to completely change a characters moveset. There is always backlash when a single move is changed. Let alone a moveset so not incorporating the pultergust outside of his final smash makes a little sense.

A small but very improving change would be to switch his green fireballs with ice balls. This would make him more in line with the games particularly the new ones.

They would work like they do in the games, bounce high and after the second bounce disappear. They'd only stun for a moment. I think about the same time as ZSS's stun gun would be best. They'd greatly enhance his edge guarding power and his approaches.

Hmm, sounds interesting. I could see this being an option in move customisation (for both of the Mario brothers), but not as an official change. I, for one, would rather have the green fire balls that travel sideways. Not only do they match Luigi's attire, they also make them completely different from Mario's fireballs, gameplay-wise.

Please.

Everyone knows Luigi must fire Thunder Balls.

What is that?

A reference to Luigi's Thunderhand ability in Superstar Saga, which was a parallel to Mario's Firebrand.

Having Mario using fire balls and Luigi using thunder balls would be the coolest thing ever.

I guess that would be cool but it sounds kind of dirty.

Dirty? I'm kind of lost as to how it is dirty. Also, Luigi has used electricity in Strikers too. Along with the green thunder name.

That being said, any stun effect with Luigi would be pretty OP, even if it was the length of ZSS' stun gun. Since Luigi's a close up guy, one Up B after a stun would be pretty exploitable

Really, thunder balls, how does that not sound dirty lol.

That's a good point. I don't play Luigi so I forgot his up B kills. I don't like Luigi's generic green fireballs so I'd take pretty much anything to make them more unique.

Thunder Orbs?

I feel as though ice balls might be incorporated into move-set customization for Luigi. But by default, we will still probably have the acid balls.

If it's possible to make the balls have tripping effect, I will officially declare Sakurai the most brilliant human being that has ever existed.

Just by looking at the custom movesets in the Direct, I bet Luigi will also get access to those super fast fireballs.

Hopefully the fireballs are buffed SOMEHOW in normal play though. Please Sakurai, please. They were bar none the worst projectile in the entire game, and it's just not fair for Luigi, who have virtually no range.

Diddy's peanuts are the worst. They do 1% and can be thrown back at you.

Not when you charge them. AND you can eat them to heal.

If Luigi gets a different element, it would definitely be lightning. As previously stated, it came from Superstar Saga and has been an ability of his in a few other games.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Thunder Orbs?

I was actually thinking about that. If Mario can have fireballs, why not make Luigi a little more unique?

 

[Luigi#1]

I'd rather have Thunder.

But I want fire damage being green this time at least. I think ice balls and thunder will happen next time.

I can see Luigi have his Fireballs be replaced by Ice Balls via customization, but Luigi should really have the Thunderhand be his neutral special.

Actually, Luigi's signature fireballs are lightning balls, not ice balls.

 

[Man Li Gi]

He should pretty much include thunder/electric in his entire moveset. I mean it's called the thunderHAND.

I like how quirky Luigi's moveset is but a little thunder here and there wouldn't hurt.
