Rosalina is a tall [[Weight|lightweight]], much like {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}, {{SSBM|Peach}}, and {{SSBM|Zelda}}. Rosalina is the fourth lightest character in the game, but unlike Peach or Zelda, her overall grounded mobility is decent, thanks to her average [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds, and her [[traction]] being tied for the sixth highest in the game. Despite having average [[air speed]], Rosalina's [[falling speed|falling]] and [[fast fall]]ing speeds are among the slowest, while her [[gravity]] is the second lowest in the game. As a result of the latter three attributes, she is a very [[Falling speed#Floaty|floaty]] character. | Rosalina is a tall [[Weight|lightweight]], much like {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}, {{SSBM|Peach}}, and {{SSBM|Zelda}}.

Due to being allied with Luma, Rosalina also follows the tag team archetype established by the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, and perpetuated by {{SSBB|Olimar}}. Luma can remain next to Rosalina to attack with her, or it can be sent away with [[Luma Shot]] to attack from a distance. This allows Rosalina numerous possibilities to attack opponents, as she can essentially | Due to being allied with Luma, Rosalina also follows the tag team archetype established by the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, and perpetuated by {{SSBB|Olimar}}. Luma can remain next to Rosalina to attack with her, or it can be sent away with [[Luma Shot]] to attack from a distance. This allows Rosalina numerous possibilities to attack opponents, as she can essentially perform combos on opponents between herself and Luma. Luma mechanically functions like a blend of {{b|Pikmin|species}} and [[Ice Climbers|Nana of the Ice Climbers]]: it uses a [[hit points]] (HP) mechanic like the former, in which it will be KO'd if it is dealt 50%, and it responds to player inputs like the latter. Unlike Olimar, Rosalina cannot immediately summon Luma once it is KO'd, which forces her to wait 13 seconds until another Luma appears. Luma also can not experience status effects, such as [[stun]] or [[sleep]], which can allow it to attack and fend off opponents if Rosalina happens to find herself put under a status effect that renders her unable to move or attack. Luma also cannot be grabbed. | ||
While they are largely defensive characters, Rosalina & Luma have several offensive options that allow them to rack up damage if given the opportunity. They have many attacks with disjointed hitboxes, most notably each of Rosalina's aerials, which are also very useful for racking up damage. Their neutral aerial, when timed correctly, can be a useful punishing option. Her forward aerial keeps the opponent in place, hits multiple times, and combos well with her down throw like {{SSB4|Ness}}' same combo. However, this combo is somewhat situational because of its considerable ending lag. Her and Luma's back aerials are quick [[semi-spike]]s and can be used in a wide range of scenarios, such as edge-guarding. Their up aerial is one of their most effective attacks and is among the best moves in the game, as it possesses outstanding range, can easily be chained into itself and can KO off the top of some stages at very low percents when used properly. Their down aerial is also a very potent edge-guarding option: Rosalina's hitbox is capable of [[meteor smash]]ing, whereas Luma's hitbox can easily KO outright thanks to its very high knockback growth. | While they are largely defensive characters, Rosalina & Luma have several offensive options that allow them to rack up damage if given the opportunity.
