I really liked the guide, it was really helpful and contained A LOT of details. However, two aspects that should get overlooked are the neutral and Match ups sections. Luigi doesn't win neutral all the time, and can struggle in today's meta, which are dominated by Bayonetta, Cloud, Sheik, Diddy Kong, and so on. It would be helpful to include details on handling defensive characters, such as Marth and Rosalina and Luma. Luigi has to completely change his original playstyle when fighting those characters since Luigi's normal moves, such as Fair, get beaten out by Marth and Luma's disjointed hitboxes. I think more details on dealing with defensive chracters would've been helpful, since Luigi can't approach the same way all the time, and can't always rely on moves such as Fair, Nair, and Jab for neutral. Overall, this was a good guide that explains a lot about Luigi's main tools and combos.

Yo, thanks for the review. To be honest, I stopped working on this guide a long time ago (Around the start of 2016?) due to some problems and had to even quit college cause of it...but now that SSBU is coming, I'll come back to it and I might finish this.

i picked luigi after the patch. i've done a lot of work with him. i was ashamed of myself because i can't mash that well. this guide helped rethink how hard it actually is to mash that fast. thank you!

This guide is extremely well written! It's rare you find such a well developed guide on smashboards. Keep it up!

I love this guide. This is definetly in the top 5 best character guides. Good formatting. The gifs are really helpful and good looking. I would love to see the zss matchup and the rosalina matchup tho.

I'm glad you liked it! I want to finish the MU spread ASAP but college has left me little time to invest on this guide but I'll get there soon. The more MU experience I get in tourneys, the better it will look too. I'll update it as soon as I can.

Ha, I gave you that info the day I dropped Luigi, and now here it is months later, I'm crawling back to him, and I find a guide I completely forgot I contributed to. And it happens to be STELLER! Great work!!

Thanks for the kind words and for the text format of the video, it helped a lot! Glad you liked the guide but it still isn't over yet, I'm still missing the MU section and I'm gonna add another section where it'll be videos of pro players and some of my replays.

Thanks for the guide! Also, I think Lylat Cruise and Dreamland64 are luigi's best stages.Battlefield,final destination, Smashvile,and town and city are good stages for luigi but not the best. That's my opinion, feel free to disagree. :)

Glad you enjoyed it! IMO, Luigi shines on stages with platforms BUT I think Lylat isn't one of those stages considering that when it tilts, it can cause Luigi to miss his combos/recovery but as you said, these are just opinions. (I hate Lylat in general). FD Isn't a great stage either IF Luigi faces a projectile user (Villager and ROB) since it makes it hard for him to get close but against other characters, its a solid pick.

very solid review

Very good guide, it covered all the major points very well. However, I would have liked to see you expand upon his recovery a little more as It is arguably one of the more difficult things to do with Luigi.

Amazing Guide! Very in-depth, with a lot of data and useful advice for Luigi in almost every situation. I recommend every Luigi player read this guide, you might learn something new.
