https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqnRG5AQcL8Hey there luigi players, I have a question for ya. Have we explored the viability of drop canceled nairs as a good combo starter on platforms. I got my friend with a few drop cancel nair to dair combos while we were playing friendlies and then it occurred to me...If i were technical enough to shield drop and combine that with my drop cancel, luigi would have an amazing out of shield option while on platforms. Since luigi nair is the only drop cancel-able move with a pure vertical knockback, combined with luigi's high 1st jump to capitalize on this even on higher percent opponents, i feel luigi is the way to go for exploring the shield drop => drop cancel. Has this been proven unreliable, too technical, or obsolete by other strategies?
If you can catch your opponent not DIing a drop cancel, then you can chain them together against fast fallers. I've gotten 3/4 in a row multiple times, and then when they do DI just follow up with a fair or dair.Hey there luigi players, I have a question for ya.

Hmmm, I'm pretty good at both shield-drops and platform canceled nairs but I have yet to pull off both in the same movement. So far I've just considered it a bit too impractical because the window seems to be extremely small but I'm still trying it out. On a side note, I have been able to do shield-drops into platform-canceled bairs pretty consistently.Thanks for the replies. I saw some pretty cool uses for the platform cancel in papao's old school combo video, however does shield dropping the platform canceled nair make it even more useful?
It's personal preference really. I usually use c-stick, and really only use A for aerials in specific situations. Using the c-stick allows you to do retreating/advancing aerials without sacrificing horizontal movement. So for a retreating fair, you don't have to tilt forward to do it, and can keep retreating for spacing purposes.Also, I've been using Z a lot more especially for aerials. Is that bad?
I guess I'm just dropping too many frames, because a well-timed (off of an accurate read) falco front-smash/shiek forward air have been absolutely destroying me. If I bait these out while I'm still hanging on the ledge they are easy to punish, but I have areally tough time getting through them if I ledge-dash into them.If you ledgedash fast enough the invincibility can carry you through pretty much anything your opponent does and you can attack them while you do it.
its just hard to do perfectally. >.<
ahahaha I read it as utilt for some reason. My badThanks for the advice, but i asked for forward tilt, not up tilt.
I know U-tilt is great for damage
You have to get the invincible WD timing down right. From the ledge you input down > jump > toward stage > L/R like you would in a Mortal Kombat combo. The ledge will be your most comfortable place on the stage after that. Once you're invincible you have every option. Make sure you're going on to the stage as soon as you grab ledge or you'll lose the inv. frames.beginning to feel like luigi is just helpless in the edge. been playing against Spacies and shiek and they just beat out all of my options. ledge hop aerials, ledge hop down-b, even ledge hop wave- shield. I acknowledge I can mix up my timings differently, but any tips?
Nintendude is right. We really need to step up our game!I want to see one of you guys break out into the Hax / Axe / Kirbykaze / Shroomed tier of players. I feel like you've all been sitting right on the cusp of it for awhile now.
Vudu going hardcore! We Luigi's need to go Try Hard, like Mango!Zenith, baby! Takin' the gold home for the kids!
What are some of Luigi's options after ledge teching?You have to get the invincible WD timing down right.

^^This. I usually just drop down and Up-B again and was wondering if there was anything else that works.Do you mean teching as in: you're recovering and peach, for example, d-smashes your up-b, you tech, then what?
