Luigi (Combat)

Luigi is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Combat, and is available from the start. Luigi is Mario's younger twin brother, and is much more skittish than his brother. Although he started off as a carbon-copy pallet swap, Luigi has eventually established his own identity as a character who has the tendency for cowardice, but can brave it through if he has to. Luigi has recieved a lot of changes from the previous title, having been almost completely decloned and making his moveset more based around his appearances in Luigi's Mansion, the Mario & Luigi titles, and even Super Paper Mario. This has caused him to become a very different character from previous titles, becoming a completely original character rather than a semi-clone.
