Luigi (Life & Death)

Luigi (ルイージ, Luigi) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Luigi is a character in the Mario series. Originally debuting as a near-exact copy of his marginally older twin brother Mario, Luigi gradually developed his own appearance and personality, to the point of becoming the co-star and deuteragonist of their home series, as well as the main protagonist of his own spin-off series. As a member of the "perfect-attendance crew", Luigi has been featured as a playable character in every installment of the Super Smash Bros. series.
Luigi is voiced by Charles Martinet in-game, who also voices Mario, Wario, Waluigi, Stanley, and Wart, in-game.

 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	A one-two combo followed by a hip thrust. It hits on frame 2 and its last hit slightly moves Luigi forward, making it a safe option at close range. The first two hits can also be used for jab locking opponents. The first two hits are based on the Punch + Punch + Kick combo from Super Mario 64.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	A hook kick. Despite having a different animation compared to Mario's, it can be angled like his and has similar properties.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	An uppercut.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	A crouching, low-angle back kick.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A flurry of childish punches.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	A knifehand thrust.
Up Smash 	N/A 	An upward arcing headbutt.
Down Smash 	N/A 	A modified version of the Sweep Kick from Super Mario 64. It hits on both sides of himself.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	A flying kick.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	A downward knifehand strike.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	A dropkick.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	A bicycle kick.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	A corkscrew double foot stomp. It resembles the Drill Stomp.
Grab Aerial 	N/A 	Fires a plunger from the Poltergust G-00 from Luigi's Mansion 3. It behaves unusually from other grab aerials in that it cannot be used as a tether recovery, and the plunger alongside its string detach from the Poltergust G-00 after being fired forward, behaving as a projectile that is affected by gravity and cannot be reflected or absorbed, which makes it useful for edge-guarding.
Grab 	N/A 	Fires a plunger from his Poltergust G-00. Has high range due to being a tether grab, however unlike most tether grabs, it has fairly low ending lag as Luigi is able to act out of it before the plunger disappears.
Pummel 	N/A 	Squeezes the opponent with the Poltergust G-00.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Slams the opponent forward with the Poltergust G-00.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Turns around to slam the opponent behind himself with the Poltergust G-00.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Swings the Poltergust G-00 upward.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Shoves the opponent under himself and Ground Pounds them.
Neutral Special	Fireball 	Throws a Green Fireball. It is fairly spammable, which enables it to pressure opponents from afar and hinder approaches. Compared to Mario's Fireball, Luigi's version has less ending lag and has a clean hit that deals more damage, with Luigi being able to throw another fireball when the clean hit ceases. Unlike Mario's version, the fireball also unaffected by gravity, which gives it more vertical range, but makes it less suitable for edge-guarding.
Side Special 	Green Missile 	Crouches and then shoots himself forward to perform a flying battering ram. It takes more than a full second to fully charge, but deals impressive damage upon doing so. Upon reaching full charge, it has KO potential and can be held for some time before being automatically canceled. It also has a 10% chance to misfire, which deals considerably more damage and knockback.
Up Special 	Super Jump Punch	A jumping uppercut. Its grounded sweetspot emits a ping sound and triggers a Special Zoom upon hitting, and boasts excellent damage output with impressive knockback.
Down Special 	Luigi Cyclone 	Rapidly spins around as a vortex generates around himself, trapping the opponent and damaging them with a series of discus clotheslines and spinning backfists before assuming a spread-eagle position to launch them. It allows Luigi to move horizontally on the ground, as well as rise by mashing the special move button.
Final Smash 	Poltergust G-00 	Wields the Poltergust G-00 to vacuum nearby opponents into it before powerfully ejecting them diagonally. Opponents will accumulate more damage the earlier they are vacuumed in. It has decent range, and is capable of vacuuming opponents from a variety of angles.
Down Taunt 	 	Bashfully kicks to the ground. Its high fixed knockback value makes it a very potent meteor smash, allowing it to potentially OHKO a ledge-hanging opponent.
==Other Animations==
Animation 	Description 	Notes
On-Screen Appearance 	A green Warp Pipe appears, and Luigi leaps out of it while nervously saying "Let's-a go!" and sporting a frightened expression that is very similar to his expression on the cover of Luigi's Mansion. 	
Taunt 1 	Performs five quick poses, one after the other. When switching from pose to pose he says, "Hoh, hah, hee, heh, hoo!"
#Flashes a V-Sign.
#Points both his fingers in the direction he is facing, looking frightened.
#Holds his finger under his nose, his eyes looking at the player. This pose is, in some respects, similar to his Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time artwork.
#Crouches down to the floor with his back turned to the player.
#Assumes a fearful position with his hands on his cheeks, mimicking his artwork from Luigi's Mansion.	
Taunt 2 	Planks while saying "Pow pow!" Due to it moving Luigi forward into the z-axis and lowering his hurtbox, some attacks may actually miss him as a result. 	
Taunt 3 	Bashfully kicks the ground while sighing. One of the only taunts in the game to inflict damage; it deals 2% and meteor smashes opponents with high set knockback, making it a surprisingly reliable combo starter onstage, and allowing it to one-hit KO opponents offstage or hanging on edges. It is similar to the animation Luigi performs when he loses a minigame in Mario Party 2.	
Star KO 	 	
Screen KO 	 	
Character Selection Screen	 	
Crowd Chant 	Wee - gee! 	
Victory Pose 1 	Planks twice, much like in his side taunt and his artwork in SSB4. His nose twitches in brief intervals after the second plank. 	
Victory Pose 2 	With his back to the screen and his hands on his hips, Luigi nods his head twice. Then, he turns around and makes gun motions with his fingers, saying "Bang, bang." He continues to alternate between pointing his fingers and nose to the right and left. 	
Victory Pose 3 	Childishly flails his arms about in the air, first towards his right side and then his left. Afterwards, now exhausted, he gasps while holding his left hand out and resting his right hand on his knee. This is similar to his "character chosen" animation in SSB and his dash attack, albeit with a different ending animation.
