'''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|the star-shaped species of the same name]] that is under the care of Rosalina. It<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Rebound and Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Reactions tips refer to Luma as "it"--> fights in tandem with Rosalina, similarly to how [[Ice Climbers|Nana fights in tandem with Popo]], and utilizes [[hit points]] (HP) like [[Captain Olimar]]'s {{b|Pikmin|species}} do. Unlike Nana and the Pikmin, Luma is controlled by the player, even when separated from Rosalina,and has a set respawn time upon being KO'd. Rosalina is always accompanied by a yellow Luma at the beginning of each battle, and while the yellow Luma can respawn upon being KO'd, it is possible for a differently colored Luma to take its place. The other Lumas are colored blue, green, red, cream<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip refers to the apricot Luma's color as cream--> (who appears almost identical to [[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Baby Luma]]), and blackish brown (who is actually {{s|mariowiki|Polari}})<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip confirms that Polari is indeed the dark brown Luma-->.

{{s|mariowiki|Yuya Takezawa}} reprises his role as the voice of Luma, albeit through recycled voice clips from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart Wii}}'', and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Tennis Open}}''.

Rosalina & Luma are ranked 5th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier and making them the third highest ranking [[newcomer]]s. The pair are known for their powerful defensive [[neutral game]], as Rosalina can invalidate projectiles using [[Gravitational Pull]], Luma can tank hits on behalf of Rosalina and is immune to status effects, and either character can help the other ward off [[pressure]] by individually [[punish]]ing opponents. The duo also have impressive KO potential, thanks to Luma's power and many of Rosalina's moves having [[disjoint]]ed ranges. By extension, their respective movesets are both quick and useful, such as Rosalina's up aerial having impressive juggling potential, and Luma's aerials boasting approach and combo potentials thanks to their [[Lunar Landing]] technique.

However, Rosalina's endurance is among the worst in the game owing to her tall frame, very light [[weight]], and slow [[falling speed]]. Furthermore, many of Rosalina's benefits, including her powerful neutral game, are heavily nerfed if Luma is KOed, owing to her low attack power and short-ranged hitboxes; adding to this, while Luma can be difficult to KO, it can be easily rendered inactive due to it being unable to act out of [[tumbling]]. Rosalina's recovery, while granting long distance from [[Launch Star]], is also very linear, and its lack of offensive hitboxes cannot deter edgeguarders.

Overall, Rosalina & Luma's strengths noticeably outweigh their weaknesses, and they are considered among the best characters in the game with strong tournament results and representation to supplement their reputation. Although Rosalina & Luma have slightly been nerfed by game [[update]]s, their top-tier placement has remained firmly intact throughout ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan.

==Attributes==
==Attributes==
Rosalina is a tall [[Weight|lightweight]], much like {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, {{SSB4|Peach}}, and {{SSB4|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. However she has phenomenal [[air acceleration]], being tied with Peach, {{SSB4|Palutena}}, and {{SSB4|Mega Man}}   as the third highest in the game. As a result of the latter three attributes, she is a very [[Falling speed#Floaty|floaty]] character.

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.

It has high range thanks to Rosalina's hitbox being disjointed, and has decent knockback when combined. In addition to being useful for spacing and edge-guarding, it is ideal for "pinballing" opponents between Rosalina & Luma when Luma has been sent away with [[Luma Shot]]. However, it leaves Luma vulnerable from overhead attacks because of its high ending lag.

It comes out on frame 3, making it Rosalina's fastest attack. It also renders her head [[Intangibility|intangible]] on frames 4-11, and can hit through platforms. When combined, it is more useful to disrupt aerial and approaching opponent, even though opponents with long ranges can attack either Rosalina or Luma out of this attack. Due to Luma's attack having high base knockback, but low knockback growth, it does not KO until 140%.

Its very long duration makes it ideal for surprising opponents and difficult for them to punish, especially due to Luma's hitbox having very high knockback growth. It can re-position Luma to make Rosalina advance in good distance, while Rosalina can also perform a grab while Luma performs its own dash attack.

It has decent overall range, possesses transcendent priority, and has the highest knockback growth out of their entire moveset. It KOs around 110% when used by Rosalina, at 95% when used by Luma, and at 90% when combined. Ideal for edge-guarding and gimping, but has slow start-up lag.

A rather unique neutral aerial, as Rosalina’s hitbox begins behind her and rotates clockwise. It is possible to alternate the timing of the attack to confuse opponents in the process, and launches opponents in the direction where Luma is attacking. Ideal for combos, gimping, and edge-guarding, since the player can control its trajectory. It is also less punishable with Luma, due it orbiting around Rosalina while she is in motion. By extension, this quirk allows it to be used as approach option thanks to the [[Lunar Landing]], which can lead into many different follow-ups.

One of the most versatile up aerials in the game, Rosalina's attack has a large and disjointed hitbox, which makes it very useful for juggling, frame traps or as an anti-air option. In comparison, Luma's attack hits opponents in front of and above itself, and has high vertical knockback, which make it useful for jugging and launching opponents into Rosalina's attack. It also has high KO potential, especially if the opponent is close to the upper blast line, to the point of KOing as low as 7%. Due to it launching at 108°, however, DIing down and towards Rosalina hinders the KO potential of Luma's attack. As such, Rosalina's attack is more effective at KOing at lower percentages, thanks to it launching at 92°.

It also has high KO potential, especially if the opponent is close to the vertical blastzone and if Rosalina has [[rage]], to the point of potentially KOing in the single digits. Most of the move's hitboxes launch opponents at an 88° angle but Luma's version does have a sourspot with a 108° angle, which can make Luma's version quite susceptible to [[LSI]] in some situations.

Possibly Luma's most viable KOing option, thanks to its very high knockback growth, and its ability to hit the opponent even if they are slightly next to Luma instead of directly below it. Although it is difficult to land, Rosalina's attack can [[meteor smash]] opponents when it is sweetspotted, whereas it semi-spikes them when sourspotted. It can also hit through platforms.

===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
Rosalina & Luma have been recognized for their strengths ever since ''SSB4'' was released, despite their nerfs from game updates. Their zoning ability is among the strongest in the game, thanks to the combination of Rosalina's ability to re-position Luma with [[Luma Shot]], and Luma's immense KO power, ability to tank hits, and immunity to status effects. The duo also have a superb air game due to their powerful disjointed aerials as well as Rosalina's floatiness and excellent air acceleration which allows her to stay and maneuver in the air much longer than other characters. While the tag team aspect of their playstyle results in them having a steep learning curve and has thus resulted in them having a below average-sized playerbase, their viability has nonetheless been firmly established by the consistently strong results of {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|falln}}, and {{Sm|Kirihara}} as well as {{Sm|Atelier}} and {{Sm|Yuzu}} achieving great success in Japan placing high in multiple tournaments.

Thanks to the potency of their strengths, Rosalina & Luma were ranked 3rd on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]]. They would later drop to 4th on the second tier list, and then to 8th on the third tier list. Thanks to strong results from top players, however, they have since then rised to 5th in the fourth and current tier list, maintaining their status as top-tier characters, and are still considered to be very viable, if hard to master, picks for tournament play with some smashers like {{Sm|MKLeo}} claiming that she should be as high as 2nd on the tier list as well as {{Sm|ANTi}}, and {{Sm|ZeRo}} claiming that she should be among the top 3 with {{Sm|ESAM}} putting her 4th on his tier list. While other players like {{Sm|Dabuz}} himself claim that she's overrated and that she should be ranked relatively lower than her current spot.
