Luigi received a mix of buffs, nerfs and glitch fixes via game updates, but was buffed slightly overall. Update {{SSBU|1.1.0}} decreased his up aerial's ending lag, which improved its combo potential and restored its ability to auto-cancel with a short hop like in ''SSB'' and ''Brawl''. Update {{SSBU|2.0.0}} granted Luigi a handful of buffs, with the most notable being a noticeable increase to [[Luigi Cyclone]]'s knockback. Thanks to this buff, Luigi Cyclone now functions as a reliable KO confirm from down throw at high percentages when used on platforms.

Aside from this, Luigi received a few quality of life buffs: his up smash's knockback was increased, [[Green Missile]]'s ending lag was decreased, and both his standing and pivot grabs gained 1 more active frame apiece. However, this update harmed Luigi more so than helped him by removing his down aerial's ability to [[meteor smash]] grounded opponents, which reverted it to how it functioned in ''SSB4''. This greatly nerfed his ability to combo reliably, making zero to death combos less consistent overall.

This greatly nerfed his ability to combo reliably, making [zero to death] combos less consistent overall.


As part of update {{SSBU|3.0.0}}'s near-universal nerf to [[projectile]]s, [[Fireball]]'s [[shield damage]] output was decreased. Update {{SSBU|3.1.0}} improved his grab aerial's range by repositioning its plunger, and slightly improved his neutral attack's consistency. However, an adjustment to the timing of Luigi Cyclone's [[invincibility]] resulted in its utility being worsened slightly. Lastly, update {{SSBU|10.1.0}} noticeably improved his dash attack's consistency by decreasing its looping hits' knockback and adjusting its penultimate hit's angles. When coupled with the damage output buff it received in the transition to ''Ultimate'', Luigi's dash attack has become more reliable both as a burst option and as a risky, yet viable KO option.
