Luigi is ranked 18th out of 54 in the [[tier list]], placing him in the B tier. This is a significant improvement over his E tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 28th out of 38, and is Luigi's best placement in the series. Luigi's most notable strength is the utility of his moveset: his overall fast frame data makes him difficult to [[Punishment|punish]] and supplements his very strong and consistent combo game; all his aerials can autocancel or even repeat in a short hop, generally have low startup and ending lag, are good for combos, and his sweetspotted neutral and back aerial are strong KO options; his excellent air game is complemented by his great jump height and favorable launch angles on a number of his grounded moves.
Luigi is ranked 18th out of 54 in the [[tier list]], placing him in the B tier. This is a significant improvement over his low-mid tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 28th out of 38, and is Luigi's best proportional tier ranking in the series to date. Luigi's most notable strength is the utility of his moveset: his overall fast frame data makes him difficult to [[Punishment|punish]] and supplements his very consistent and strong combo game; his excellent air game is supplemented by a number of his grounded moves having favorable launching angles, as well as his high jumps and the utility of his aerials: all his aerials can autocancel in a short hop with lenient autocancel windows, generally have low startup and ending lag, are good for combos and his sweetspotted back aerial and clean neutral aerial are strong KO potions; and [[Fireball]] is a fairly quick [[projectile]] with decent range.


Luigi's attributes have also improved. In addition to a much faster [[dash]]ing speed, his air game and aerial mobility benefit from his much faster [[fast falling]] speed; higher [[gravity]]; lower [[short hop]]; and higher [[jump]]. Lastly, Luigi's [[recovery]] remains unpredictable and long-distanced, with [[Green Missile]] and [[Luigi Cyclone]] being risky to intercept.

However, Luigi has retained his noticeable weaknesses from previous installments. Luigi's mobility is still slow and awkward in spite of its improvements: his faster dashing speed is slightly below-average at best, while his low [[traction]] and slow [[air speed]] still largely hinder his [[out of shield]] options and recovery. Despite having a fairly quick [[projectile]], the majority of Luigi's moveset is short-ranged, which prevents him from racking up damage from a safe distance, especially against characters that have projectiles and/or disjointed [[hitbox]]es.
However, Luigi has retained his noticeable weaknesses from previous installments. Luigi's mobility is still slow and awkward in spite of its improvements: his faster dashing speed is slightly below-average at best, while his low [[traction]] and slow [[air speed]] still largely hinder his [[out of shield]] options, punishment ability, and the versatility of his recovery. Despite having Fireball, the majority of Luigi's range is still short, which prevents him from racking up damage from a safe distance, especially against characters that have projectiles and/or disjointed [[hitbox]]es.


Overall, Luigi tends to run hot-and-cold like in previous installments. He initially had a large playerbase and excellent results, the latter of which was demonstrated by {{Sm|J.Miller}} winning [[B.E.A.S.T 5]] with him. Although Luigi's playerbase has decreased since update 1.1.1 nerfed his combo game, he has nevertheless continued to achieve great success at local and regional tournaments, and respectable results at national tournaments. This has been most evident with {{Sm|Elegant}} barely finishing runner-up to {{Sm|MkLeo}} in [[GameTyrant Expo 2017]], which has caused Luigi's current tier placement to become somewhat debatable.
