Luigi is notable for being the only full [[clone]] in ''Smash 64''. Many of his attacks, pros, and cons are similar to Mario's, although there are differences. Luigi's main problem is his terrible physics - a combination of slow [[dashing]] speed, very slow [[air speed]], low [[traction]], and low [[falling speed]] gives him very poor mobility and big trouble [[approach]]ing, even with a [[projectile]] in his [[Fireball]]s. He also has a high [[short hop]] and short [[range]]. | Luigi is notable for being the only full [[clone]] in ''Smash 64''.

===Tier placement and history=== | ===Tier placement and history=== | ||
Although | Luigi has always been considered a low-tier character, hovering around the bottom three each time throughout all established tier lists. He was ranked 10th on the first two tier lists, and 11th on the third one. Although he has a decent amount of powerful KO moves and a projectile to use for interrupting approaches, he has failed to make a significant impact throughout the entire metagame, primarily due to his poor approach, bad disadvantage state, and unimpressive range. This has culminated to scarce representation and results, where players who enter rarely place high at nationals. Currently, he sits at 12th place, where players generally agree his placement is accurate, and his metagame is anticipated to remain similar to before. Other low-tiers have accomplished more significant feats, with characters such as {{SSB|Link}} developing better tools to deal with {{SSB|Kirby}} and {{SSB|Samus}} having developed more innovations to navigate around platforms efficiently. | ||
