Editing Luigi (SSB4)

Charles Martinet's portrayal of Luigi from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Smash 4''.<ref name="treehouseday3">[http://www.twitch.tv/nintendo/b/537795858 Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2014 -- Day 3]</ref>

==Attributes==

The majority of Luigi's [[custom move]]s are useful, with his most notable ones being Floating Missile and Quick Missile. Floating Missile is much riskier to intercept because it propels Luigi in a perfectly straight line, charges much faster, and is only slightly weaker than Green Missile. Quick Missile travels much farther and moves much faster, similarly to how Green Missile functioned in ''Melee''. However, it is slightly weaker, while its considerably higher ending lag and lack of traction upon landing on a stage or platform make it much more punishable.

Overall, Luigi can be a force to be reckoned with as long as his significant flaws are circumvented. Although his tournament representation has decreased following update 1.1.1's nerf to his down throw, Luigi has continued to achieve impressive results in tournaments regardless.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

Luigi's overall mobility has been improved, especially on the ground. His [[dash]] speed is noticeably faster, his [[fast fall]]ing speed is higher and his [[air speed]]/traction are also marginally higher, making it easier for him to approach. Luigi also possesses a stronger grab game. His grabs are faster and have more range, and his down throw has now become an extremely powerful combo starter due to the changes to hitstun canceling/DI, making it easier and more rewarding for Luigi to utilise his grabs.

Luigi's aerial [[Luigi Cyclone]] has also seen some improvements as an attack, as it connects more reliably and its final hit is stronger near the upper blast zone. Its loop hitboxes also have increased knockback and they can meteor smash opponents, which makes the move even more effective at edgeguarding opponents. Luigi Cyclone can now fairly easily edgeguard characters with poor recoveries (and even some characters with stronger recoveries such as {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}) at very low percents, which Luigi can set up with his down throw and down aerial. As a result of these changes, Luigi Cyclone is now a highly effective edgeguarding tool and a solid vertical KO move, rather than being an unreliable KO move and a situational edgeguarding tool.

However, Luigi also received some nerfs, with Luigi receiving more nerfs overall. His overall frame data is worse with a handful of his attacks having shorter durations, increased startup or ending lag, or all of the above. A fair amount of Luigi's attacks also have reduced range, with multiple attacks having smaller hitboxes and losing hitboxes in certain cases. Luigi's damage output is also lower overall, which hinders the KO potential of numerous moves including up tilt, forward smash, up smash, the front hit of down smash, all of his aerials except for back aerial (especially neutral and down aerials, and even back aerial now has a much weaker sourspot on its clean hit and it has increased ending/landing lag), back throw and [[Super Jump Punch]]. In some cases such as with his aerials and up tilt, this does act as a double edged sword, as it does also improve their combo potential but with most of his grounded moves, this purely acts as a hinderance (although the introduction of [[rage]] can compensate for this, and Luigi's solid weight means that he can build up rage fairly easily). This overall results in Luigi's KO potential going from being highly solid (especially considering his frame data) to now being closer to average, especially since numerous returning veterans had improved KO potential overall, unlike Luigi.

Luigi was initially considered to be a top tier in earlier versions of the game (especially after the Wii U version was released), due to his powerful punish game. After version 1.1.1 however, Luigi did receive a nerf to his down throw which noticeably hindered him. In earlier versions, his down throw was identical to its ''Brawl'' counterpart (besides its animation), but it was far more effective due to the changes to hitstun canceling and DI, as it was an excellent combo throw at lower percents, and it even had KO setups at higher percents, which worked at an extremely large percentage range. In 1.1.1, the throw had decreased base knockback, which improved its followup potential at lower percents, but it had significantly increased knockback scaling, which greatly hindered its followup potential at higher percents, and in turn, it made his KO setups far more precise. This made the throw much worse at higher percents, which considerably hindered Luigi overall. Aerial Luigi Cyclone also received reduced KO power in the patch and this along with the changes to shields in the same patch did not help him either.

===Aesthetics===

*{{change|Due to the aesthetic used in ''SSB4'', Luigi has a sleeker design, and his overall color scheme is more vibrant. His overalls' pant legs are also no longer rolled up around his ankles. Altogether, these changes make Luigi appear virtually identical to his appearance as of ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}''.}}

*{{change|Luigi is significantly more expressive. He now smiles during his defeated/[[Results screen#No Contest screen|No Contest]] animation, sports a toothy grin during [[Fireball]], the last hit of his neutral attack, and [[Luigi Cyclone]], smiles nervously during his pivot grab, sports an oohing expression during Luigi Cyclone's loop hits, appears alarmed during his down aerial and [[screen KO]], and winces depressingly during his back and up aerials, standing and dash grabs, back throw, and childish punching [[victory pose]]. Luigi also sports humorously quirky expressions during his [[sidestep]] and up [[taunt]].}}

*{{change|Luigi's chest now always faces the screen, regardless of the direction he’s facing, mirroring his animations. For example, Luigi's up smash animation is reversed, with his head facing away from the screen rather than towards it.}}

*{{change|Dash's animation has slightly changed. Luigi now has a slightly different stance upon skidding to a stop.}}

*{{change|Jump's animation has changed. Luigi now performs the {{s|mariowiki|Scuttle}}, one of his signature techniques that debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 2}}''.}}

*{{change|Luigi's previously unused damage yells from ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Sound Test]] are now heard when taking high knockback.}}

*[[Neutral attack]]:

**{{buff|All three hits of neutral attack now always launch opponents in the direction Luigi is facing. This allows the move to connect more reliably into the later hits if Luigi hits the opponent from behind.}}

**{{nerf|The first hit has more ending lag (FAF 16 → 19), hindering its [[jab cancel]] potential (particularly into Super Jump Punch).}}

**{{buff|The second hit has a new animation where Luigi keeps his fist out for longer. This gives the second hit more consistent range, as Luigi no longer moves his arm back on the move's second active frame.}}

***{{nerf|However, this also makes the move more susceptible to whiff punishment, as Luigi takes longer to return to his original position and he no longer sways backwards.}}

**{{buff|The third hit has a slightly different animation where Luigi jumps much further forward when he performs the hip thrust, increasing its range.}}

***{{nerf|However, this also makes Luigi more susceptible to punishment if the move is whiffed or shielded.}}

*[[Forward tilt]]:

**{{buff|Forward tilt's near hitboxes are slightly larger (3.84u/3.36u → 4u/3.4u).}}

***{{nerf|However, this also hinders its [[lock]]ing potential, especially at higher percents.}}

**{{change|Forward tilt now always launches opponents in the direction Luigi is facing.}}

***{{nerf|However, this also hinders down tilt's combo potential, and it prevents the move from tripping much sooner (80 KB → 60).}}

***{{nerf|Additionally, this also hinders down tilt's edgeguarding potential.}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt has a lower trip chance (35% → 25%) which along with its altered angle, make it far less likely to trip and even when it does, the opponent will be sent further away, limiting Luigi's followup options.}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt no longer moves Luigi forward (horizontal momentum: 1.2 → 0), reducing its range.}}

*[[Dash attack]]:

**{{change|Dash attack's hits now use a sound effect unique to them, rather than using the sound effect for [[Green Shell]]s and [[Red Shell]]s.}}

**{{buff|The loop hit's angles have been altered (361° → 65°/10°), allowing them to connect more reliably into each other, especially when combined with their altered knockback.}}

***{{nerf|However, these new angles put the opponent into the air, which allows them to [[SDI]] upwards, which grounded opponents could not previously do.}}

**{{nerf|The final hit has a higher [[hitlag]] multiplier (1× → 2.5x), making it much easier to [[DI]].}}

*[[Item#Types of items|Battering item]] dash attack:

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{change|Non-angled forward smash launches opponents at a slightly lower angle (55° → 53°).}}

**{{change|Forward smash now has a [[Slash#Stab|stab]] effect instead of a [[slash]] effect.}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash has marginally smaller hitboxes (3.84u/4.32u/2.4u → 3.8u/4.3u) and the body hitbox has been removed.}}

**{{nerf|The up angled version has significantly higher ending lag (FAF 29 → 42), now matching the other angles, like it did prior to ''Brawl''.}}

**{{nerf|The feet hitbox is smaller (4.8u → 4.5u), with the first hit's foot hitbox being positioned closer to Luigi (z offset: 12 → 11).}}

***{{nerf|This combined with the first hit's higher startup has noticeably reduced its range, with the move no longer being significantly disjointed during its first active frame.}}

**{{nerf|Down smash deals less damage (17% (feet)/16% (body) → 15%/14%). The first hit did not see full compensation on its knockback scaling (80 → 85), hindering its KO potential.}}

**{{nerf|The second hit launches opponents at a lower angle (70° → 60°), hindering its KO potential and making it more susceptible to DI.}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has more landing lag (10 frames → 14).}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has smaller hitboxes, especially the late hit (4.5u/4.5u (both) → 4.5u/4u (clean), 3u/2.5u (late)).}}

***{{buff|However, this also significantly improves its combo potential.}}

**{{nerf|The clean hit has a shorter duration (frames 3-6 → 3-5).}}

**{{nerf|Forward aerial has a new, longer animation (34 frames → 39), increasing the amount of time Luigi cannot grab ledges after performing the move.}}

*[[Back aerial]]:

**{{buff|The clean hit's leg hitbox is marginally larger (5.76u → 5.8u).}}

**{{nerf|Back aerial has more landing lag (12 frames → 16).}}

**{{nerf|Back aerial has a shorter initial auto-cancel window (frames 1-5 → 1-2).}}

**{{nerf|The late hit has smaller hitboxes (4.5u/5.76u → 4u/5u).}}

*[[Up aerial]]:

**{{change|Clean up aerial deals less damage (13% → 11%). This improves its combo potential, but hinders its KO potential.}}

*[[Down aerial]]:

**{{buff|The late hit's foot hitbox is larger (5u → 5.2u).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial has more landing lag (12 frames → 20).}}

***{{buff|However, this also significantly improves its combo potential.}}

**{{nerf|The clean hit has a much smaller hitbox (3.3u/5u/5u → 2.5u).}}

**{{buff|Back floor attack has less startup lag (frame 20 → 19).}}

*[[Edge attack]]:

***{{nerf|This new animation keeps Luigi on the ground, which along with it now using one static extended hitbox, reduces edge attack's vertical range.}}

**{{buff|Edge attack has less startup lag (frame 24 → 20).}}

**{{nerf|Trip attack now has one extended hitbox rather than three separate hitboxes, which covers less of Luigi's body.}}

*Down [[taunt]]:

**{{buff|The removal of meteor canceling improves down taunt's reliability, making it a guaranteed [[one-hit KO]] against characters who are off stage.}}

**{{buff|The removal of intangibility when re-grabbing a ledge off stage improves down taunt's utility, as it can now be used to reliably punish a ledge re-grab.}}

**{{change|Fireball’s sound effect is lower pitched and the fireballs have seen a slight visual update.}}

**{{nerf|Fireball has more ending lag (FAF 41 → 44).}}

*[[Green Missile]]:

**{{buff|Green Missile has less ending lag in the air (FAF 31 (ending animation) → 26).}}

**{{buff|Inputting Green Missile with a smash input gives it a slight charge, reducing the total amount to time to reach full charge, much like in ''Melee''.}}

**{{buff|Green Missile's hitbox has been positioned slightly further forward (x offset: 0 → 1).}}

**{{nerf|Green Missile no longer grants intangibility when it is released.}}

**{{nerf|Green Missile has a smaller hitbox (4.32u → 4.2u).}}

**{{nerf|Green Missile can no longer auto-snap the ledge, significantly hindering its recovery potential.}}

**{{nerf|Green Missile is more likely to stick to walls (40% → 50%).}}

*Green Missile Misfire:

**{{nerf|Misfire has a smaller hitbox (5.76u → 5.5u).}}

*[[Super Jump Punch]]:

**{{buff|Aerial Super Jump Punch has a slightly larger sweetspot (2.4u → 2.7u).}}

**{{nerf|Super Jump Punch's already high landing lag has been significantly increased (45 frames → 67).}}

**{{nerf|The grounded version's sweetspot is smaller (2.4u → 2.2u).}}

**{{nerf|Luigi has less air control while using Super Jump Punch (1 → 2).}}

**{{nerf|Luigi falls faster while using Super Jump Punch (1.22 → 1.5).}}

**{{nerf|Luigi can now fast fall during Super Jump Punch's ascent, which will reduce its height even further.}}

***{{nerf|Altogether, these changes significantly hinder its safety on stage (making it harder to utilise platforms or to drift to the ledge), and they significantly hinder its recovery potential.}}

*[[Luigi Cyclone]]:

***{{buff|The higher knockback on the aerial version also improves its edgeguarding potential.}}

***{{nerf|However, the far hitboxes on the grounded version can often send opponents away from Luigi, hindering its reliability from far range.}}

***{{nerf|Additionally, landing with the aerial version will often put the opponent in a [[tech]] situation, where the opponent can tech and avoid the final hit (and potentially punish Luigi).}}

**{{buff|The loop hits have a higher rehit rate (8 → 6), which allows the aerial version to now hit 4 times, like the grounded version.}}

**{{buff|The final hit deals more knockback (60 (base), 115 (scaling) → 80/(130 (grounded)/120 (aerial))), improving the grounded version's KO potential despite its lower damage.}}

**{{buff|Luigi Cyclone has increased air speed (0.8 → 1.3).}}

**{{nerf|Luigi Cyclone has more startup (frame 7 → 10) and ending lag (FAF 81 → 90).}}

**{{nerf|The grounded version has a shorter duration (frames 7-33 → 10-33).}}

**{{nerf|Luigi Cyclone has reduced ground speed (2.35 → 1.9).}}

**{{nerf|Repeated special presses grant Luigi Cyclone less vertical momentum (0.9 → 0.7) and its maximum rising speed is lower (2.0 → 1.8). This makes button mashing to increase Luigi Cyclone's height less effective, hindering its recovery potential.}}

**{{nerf|The grounded loop hits lost one of their body hitboxes.}}

**{{nerf|The aerial version's final hit's lower hitbox has been positioned higher (y offset: 0 → 2), reducing its range below Luigi.}}

==Update history==

|game=SSB4

|neutralcount=3

|neutral1dmg=3%

|neutral2dmg=2%

|neutral3dmg=5%

|ftiltdmg=8%

|utiltdmg=6%

|utiltdesc=An overhead swipe. Due to its almost nonexistent base knockback, very high knockback growth and minimal overall lag, it is very useful for combos and juggling, similarly to {{SSB4|Mario}}'s up tilt. Compared to Mario's, it has longer horizontal range and is more effective at setting up aerial combos. However, its ending lag is very slightly higher than Mario's, and because of its knockback values, opponents can punish Luigi after getting hit until around 30%.

|dtiltdmg=8%

|dtiltdesc=A crouching foot slide. It can potentially [[trip]] opponents at low percents, can lock them like forward tilt, and covers edges well. However, it is ineffective outside of these purposes due to its short range, poor knockback, and no longer meteor smashing like in ''Brawl''.

|dashdmg=1% (hits 1-6), 2% (hit 7)

|dashdesc=A series of rapid, childish punches. Due to it hitting on frame 4, it is the third fastest dash attack in the game, surpassed only by {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} and {{SSB4|Little Mac}}'s. However, it has a very punishable amount of ending lag, and its last hit cannot KO until very high percents.

|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|15}}

|fsmashdesc=A knifehand thrust. In addition to being Luigi's most damaging smash attack, it has very high knockback growth and can be angled like his forward tilt. While near the edge of {{SSB4|Final Destination}}, it KOs middleweights at 99%/91% (''3DS''/''Wii U'') when angled upward, and at 101%/92% (''3DS''/''Wii U'') when not angled or angled downward. However, it hits on frame 12, which is the highest amount of startup lag out of Luigi's smash attacks. It also has moderate ending lag and very short range, although the latter can be somewhat alleviated with [[pivoting]], thanks to Luigi's pivot being tied with {{SSB4|Little Mac}}'s as the second longest in the game.

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|14}} (head), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|12}} (body)

|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|14}} (legs), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|15}} (body)

|nairdmg=12% (clean), 6% (late)

|fairdmg=8%

|bairdmg=14% (clean feet), 8% (clean legs, late)

|uairdmg=11% (clean), 7% (late)

|dairdmg=10% (clean), 8% (late)

|grabdesc=Reaches out. Luigi's standing grab has average range. However, each of his grabs have minimal lag, with his standing grab being particularly notable for being one of the fastest in the game. Thanks to his pivot being tied with Little Mac's as the second longest in the game, Luigi's [[pivot grab]] is also very effective.

|pummeldmg=3.2%

|fthrowdmg=9%

|fthrowdesc=Spins the opponent around once and throws them forward. Very fast and Luigi's second most damaging throw, but has very minimal utility outside of dealing damage and setting up edge-guards at high percents. Due to being a weight dependent throw, it can also combo into dash attack against most lightweights with momentum conserved from a dash grab, though this only works at very low percents and is less reliable than down throw combos.

|bthrowdmg=10% (throw), 6% (collateral)

|uthrowdmg=8%

|uthrowdesc=Heaves the opponent directly overhead with both hands. Like his forward throw, it is fast, but has very minimal utility outside of dealing damage. Its only other benefits are setting up into a forward aerial, up aerial or [[Luigi Cyclone]] against lightweights and fast-fallers at low percents.

|dthrowdmg=6%

|dthrowdesc=Shoves the opponent under himself and {{s|mariowiki|Ground Pound}}s them. It is Luigi's most useful throw and one of the most effective combo starters in the game, thanks to its below-average base knockback, average knockback growth and mostly vertical angle. It can combo reliably against any opponent: in regard to middleweights, follow-ups include forward smash at 0%-10%; up tilt, up smash, any aerial attack and Luigi Cyclone at low percentages; forward and back aerial at medium percentages; and up aerial at medium to high percentages. Although its combo potential wanes past 100% and/or while Luigi is affected by a high level of rage, Luigi Cyclone can also function as a mix-up against an opponent's air dodge at high percentages, and can even KO if they are hit by it close enough to the upper blast line.

|nsc1dmg=6% (clean), 5% (mid), 4% (late)

|nsc1desc=Functions almost identically to Mario's Fireball, although its bouncing arc is more vertical compared to his. However, it has more ending lag, and it deals less damage each time it bounces.

|nsc2dmg=4%

|nsc2desc=Throws an {{s|mariowiki|Ice Ball}}. It [[freeze]]s opponents beginning at 50%, but deals slightly less damage and has slightly more startup lag and slightly shorter range. It also travels slower, but this allows Luigi to fire multiple Ice Balls in very quick succession.

|ssdefname=Green Missile

|ssdefdmg=≈6.16% (uncharged), ≈21% (fully charged), 25% (misfired)

|ssc1name=Floating Missile

|ssc1dmg=≈4.3% (uncharged), ≈18% (fully charged), 23% (misfired)

|ssc2name=Quick Missile

|ssc2dmg=≈5.15% (uncharged), ≈20% (fully charged), 20% (misfired)

|usdefname=Super Jump Punch

|usdefdmg=25% (grounded sweetspot), 20% (aerial sweetspot), 1% (sourspot)

|usc2desc=Covers significantly more vertical distance, to the point that it allows him to reach the top platform of {{SSB4|Battlefield}}, and even more vertical distance when preceded by a double jump. Upon descending, Luigi [[buries]] grounded opponents and launches aerial ones diagonally. When coupled with its much lower ending lag, its burying hitbox allows for reliable follow-ups. However, it lacks KO potential because of its significantly lower damage output.

|dsdefname=Luigi Cyclone

|dsdefdesc=Rapidly spins around, trapping the opponent and damaging them with a series of [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Clothesline|discus clotheslines]] and [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Spinning back fist|spinning backfists]] before assuming a [[wikipedia:Spreadeagle (position)|spread-eagle position]] to launch them. Much like Dr. Mario’s [[Dr. Tornado]], Luigi can move along the ground while performing this move, albeit a much greater distance and at a much faster speed, which makes make it decent as a surprise approach option. [[Button mashing]] enables Luigi to ascend during the move, which also carries his jump's momentum (once until landing) to enable an easier ascent, and can be used off-stage as an [[unconventional meteor smash]] by falling and then quickly ascending with the move. Although its last hit's damage output is very low, this is largely counterbalanced by its very high knockback growth, allowing it to KO near the upper blast line. While near the upper blast line of Final Destination, its last hit KOs middleweights at 135%/119% (''3DS''/''Wii U'').

|dsc1name=Mach Cyclone

|dsc1dmg=6%

|dsc2name=Clothesline Cyclone

|dsc2dmg=10% (hit 1), 12% (hit 2)

|fsname=Poltergust 5000

|fsdmg=30% (maximum captured), 10% (ejection)

|image-up=LuigiUpTauntSSB4.gif

|desc-down=Bashfully kicks the ground while sighing. It deals 2% on contact, but also has drastically different effects depending on the opponent's position. If it hits an opponent that is hanging on an edge or is off-stage, it will powerfully [[meteor smash]] them. Conversely, if the opponent is on-stage, it weakly launches them vertically. It is similar to the animation Luigi performs when he loses a {{s|mariowiki|minigame}} in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Party 2}}''.}}

===Tier placement and history===

Thanks to his consistently strong results in some regions, Luigi was ranked 26th on the third tier list. Incidentally, this placement is roughly similar to where he was viewed as being in accordance to popular opinion during the very early months of ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan. Luigi's tier status would then improve even further, thanks to {{Sm|Elegant}} placing 2nd at [[GameTyrant Expo 2017]] and 5th at [[2GG Championship]]. In addition to these results, Luigi has managed to consistently achieve respectable results at the regional and national level, thanks to the efforts of {{Sm|Mr. ConCon}}, {{Sm|Scot!}} and {{Sm|Ron}}. To reflect his renewed tournament success, Luigi was ranked 18th on the fourth and current tier list, about equal to his rank before the down throw nerf, with some players arguing that Luigi should be ranked even higher.

* '''[[All-Star Battle: Secret]]''': Luigi is one of the opponents fought in this event. All of the opponents have been unlockable characters in previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.

* '''[[Family Ties]]''': As {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}, the player and a giant {{SSB4|Bowser}} must defeat Luigi and {{SSB4|Mario}}.

* '''[[Oh Yeah, Luigi Time!]]''': Luigi must defeat a giant {{SSB4|Wario}}. After some time, a giant Mario will arrive to help the player.

* '''[[A Lurking Menace]]''': Luigi and Mario must defeat Bowser Jr. If they wait too long, a giant Bowser will arrive and the players must defeat him as well.

* '''[[Solidarity]]''': {{SSB4|Olimar}} and {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} must defeat Luigi and Mario. When they are defeated, Bowser and Bowser Jr. must be defeated as well.

* '''[[The Ultimate Battle]]''': Two players select a character and must defeat the entire roster.

* '''[[Wrecking Bros.]]''': Luigi and Mario must destroy the entirety of [[Wrecking Crew]] while Wario and {{SSB4|King Dedede}} try to interfere.

==[[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Luigi|Alternate costumes]]==

==Trivia==

*Luigi's official artwork is based on his side [[taunt]].

*[[Beta elements (SSB4)|Early in ''SSB4''{{'}}s development]], Luigi could [[wall jump]]. However, this was scrapped in the final release.

*In {{for3ds}}, the "Luigi (With Poltergust 3000)" trophy is titled erroneously. The Poltergust that Luigi is wielding in that trophy is actually the {{s|mariowiki|Poltergust 5000}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon}}'', as shown by it having both a slightly different canister and the {{s|mariowiki|Strobulb}} equipped. This was fixed for the [[PAL]] region's version.

*Due to Luigi's head coming forward into the [[Hitbox#Hitboxes in three dimensions|z-axis]] when he [[crouch]]es, he can avoid certain projectiles that go behind his head.
