Hi guys,
I'm completely new to SSBU and come from moba and tcg. I really do struggle right now learning the game. I try to learn the hard way like I did with DBFZ by practicing as much as I can online.
Right now, I learn Luigi and it seems like he is a much more difficult character than what I expected. Basically, I lose like 95% of my 1v1 online games and my elo is 8000 pts or something atm.
I have a few questions about Luigi :
Thanks a lot for your patience and kindness to the garbage player I am and see you later on the field of justice (oh wait)!

I have a few questions about Luigi :
- I understood that Luigi is a character based off combos starting with down-throw but I have trouble grabbing, especially knowing when to grab and getting close enough to grab. Oftenly either I'm too far or I pre-shot the grab and the opponent is somehow behind me. I feel like grabbing is hard to succeed. Do you have tips for that ?
- Even when I somehow manage to grab and down-throw, I rarely connect more than one hit (which is a single nair or fair) because it feels like there is a massive lag after the nair and I can't connect anything else.
- I was told that Luigi is good at aerials so most of the match, I'm spamming the forward direction + X+A (I think it's called Fair) trying to miraculously hit the opponent but it rarely does, especially when the opponent is small like pichu or kirby. I have the intuition I'm not playing it right...
- Generally speaking, when do you smash attack ? I actually never smash attack because it looks even harder to succeed than grabbing. I mean the range is too short and the risk of missing and being hard punished is high.
- I see pro players like MrConCon spamming stuff like forward back-air. If I'm right, the exact moves are going forward then suddenly looking back and executing back-air, all of that in half a second. Is it something I should be able to pull off as a Luigi player or can we consider that to be pro-player stuff ?
