'''Rosalina & Luma''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ&チコ|Rozetta & Chiko}}, ''Rosetta & Chiko''), known simply as '''Rosalina''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ|Rozetta}}, ''Rosetta'') in the [[character customization]] menu and the {{for3ds}} foldout, are playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. A duo consisting of Rosalina and a Luma, the player primarily controls Rosalina, while additional moves and inputs control the Luma's position and attacks. They were revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on December 18th, 2013, which coincided with Rosalina's reveal in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS_gYzv02SQ Nintendo Direct 12.18.13]</ref>
'''Rosalina & Luma''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ&チコ|Rozetta & Chiko}}, ''Rosetta & Chiko''), known simply as '''Rosalina''' ({{ja|ロゼッタ|Rozetta}}, ''Rosetta'') in the customization menu and the {{for3ds}} foldout, are a [[newcomer]] duo for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' consisting of Rosalina and a Luma. The player primarily controls Rosalina, with additional moves and inputs to control the Luma's position and attacks, hence giving the duo a "puppet fighter" playstyle. They were announced on December 18th, 2013 during a [[Nintendo Direct]], which coincided with Rosalina's reveal in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}''. Rosalina & Luma are the first newcomer announced after [[E3 2013]], as well as a new {{uv|Mario}} representative alongside {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}} Rosalina is voiced by Kerri Kane.<!--Kerri Kane is listed in the credits in the voice acting section; do not change it--> Rosalina's proportions are based upon her appearances in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' and ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'', although her light blue dress now has new star-shaped aesthetics and her high heels are the same shade of light blue as her dress instead of being silver.


Rather than retaining {{s|mariowiki|Laura Faye Smith}}, who voiced her in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}'', {{s|mariowiki|Kerri Kane}}—her predecessor—reprises her role as the voice of Rosalina, using a combination of new voice clips and ones recycled from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Golf: World Tour}}''.
'''Luma''' ({{ja|チコ|Chiko}}, ''Chiko'') is a member of 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"--> affectionately refers to her as its "mama". It works with Rosalina similarly to how [[Nana]] works with [[Popo]], but is never controlled by the AI, even when separated from Rosalina. When it respawns after being KO'd, it can be replaced by a Luma of a different color, including yellow, blue, green, red, cream<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip refers to the apricot Luma's color as cream--> (which appears similar to [[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Baby Luma]]), and dark brown (who is actually {{s|mariowiki|Polari}})<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip confirms that Polari is indeed the dark brown Luma-->.


'''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-->.
Rosalina & Luma are ranked 3rd out of 56 characters on the [[tier list]], in the S tier along with {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, making them the highest ranked newcomer. They are known for their strong defense-oriented [[neutral game]], with the ability to invalidate projectiles using [[Gravitational Pull]], Luma tanking hits for Rosalina while also being immune to status effects, and simply being very difficult to [[approach]] when together as either character can cover the other and [[punish]] opponents when in danger. The duo also have great KO potential thanks to Luma's power, along with Rosalina's long [[disjoint]]ed reach on many moves, good mobility and her quick attacks, such as Rosalina's up aerial being a great juggling tool and Luma's being an outright KO move. However, Rosalina suffers from a linear and unprotected [[recovery]] in [[Launch Star]], poor endurance due her tall frame and very light weight, and some poor attack power and hitboxes when Luma is KO'd. While Luma can be very difficult to eliminate, it is very prone to being tossed off of the stage due to it being unable to act out of tumble until landing, and Rosalina is far less capable of beating incoming threats without Luma. On the other hand, as Luma only remains KO'd for 13 seconds, Rosalina is only vulnerable for a short amount of time until Luma respawns. Overall, Rosalina & Luma's strengths noticeably outweigh their weaknesses, and are considered one of the best characters in the game with strong tournament results.
 
{{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 54 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier. 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 been slightly 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.
Rosalina follows an archetype previously set by characters such as {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} and {{SSBM|Zelda}} in that, despite her tall frame, she is very light. In fact, Rosalina is one of the lightest characters in the game, only being heavier than four characters (or five characters if {{SSB4|Shulk}} is taken into consideration while he is under the effect of his [[Monado Arts|Smash Monado Art]]). She has a slightly above average dashing speed and average air speed, giving her surprisingly good mobility compared to the other characters in her archetype. Her falling speed is one of the slowest in the game, causing her to be a very 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.
 
While they are largely defensive characters, Rosalina & Luma have several offensive options that allow them to rack up damage if given the opportunity. They have many attacks with disjointed hitboxes, most notably each of Rosalina's aerials, which are also very useful for racking up damage. Their neutral aerial, when timed correctly, can be a useful punishing option. Her forward aerial keeps the opponent in place, hits multiple times, and combos well with her down throw like {{SSB4|Ness}}' same combo. However, this combo is somewhat situational because of its considerable ending lag. Her and Luma's back aerials are quick [[semi-spike]]s and can be used in a wide range of scenarios, such as edge-guarding. Their up aerial is one of their most effective attacks and is among the best moves in the game, as it possesses outstanding range, can easily be chained into itself and can KO off the top of some stages at very low percents when used properly. Their down aerial is also a very potent edge-guarding option: Rosalina's hitbox is capable of [[meteor smash]]ing, whereas Luma's hitbox can easily KO outright thanks to its very high knockback growth.


Rosalina & Luma are also gifted with a good set of smash attacks. Their forward smash possesses a large amount of range, making it very useful to finish off opponents. While it has the highest knockback growth out of Rosalina's attacks, it requires Luma's involvement to achieve its true KO potential. Their up smash is minimal start-up and, while it possesses less range, is still a great KOing option regardless and renders Rosalina's head [[Intangibility|intangible]] throughout its duration. Lastly, their down smash is not an outright KOing option, but instead a useful anti-pressure option thanks to it having less start-up and especially ending lag in comparison to their other smashes. Due to it also being a [[semi-spike]], it can also be used for edge-guarding. Luma can also perform smash attacks away from Rosalina so, in a scenario where it is not safe to approach the opponent to KO, Rosalina still can attempt to KO by sending Luma out.
Rosalina is also similar to characters like the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} and {{SSBB|Olimar}} in that she is allied with another character, with her case seeing her teamed with a Luma. 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 create combos by "pinballing" opponents back and forth between her and Luma. Luma responds to player inputs like [[Ice Climbers|Nana of the Ice Climbers]], but it also functions on a health points (HP) system like [[Olimar]]'s {{b|Pikmin|species}}, and will disappear if it is dealt 50%, essentially making Luma a blend between the two. Unlike Olimar, Rosalina cannot summon it back, which forces her to wait for thirteen seconds until another Luma appears. Luma also can not experience status effects such as stunning or sleep, so if Rosalina happens to find herself put under a status effect that renders her unable to move or attack, Luma can still attack and fend off opponents, making it very difficult to punish Rosalina in these scenarios as long as Luma is with her.


Perhaps the biggest positive trait Rosalina has is that, when used properly, she is practically immune to projectiles via [[Gravitational Pull]]. While it does not deal damage, it causes Rosalina to completely nullify any projectile near her. Despite not being a [[Reflection|reflector]], it shares the same ability of making incoming items and projectiles come under Rosalina's ownership, which means any opponents can be damaged by the orbiting item or projectile if they are too close. In addition, Gravitational Pull comes on frame 2 and has very little ending lag, making it very difficult for an opponent to punish her for using it. This allows Rosalina to virtually shut down projectile-reliant playstyles of zoning-oriented characters such as {{SSB4|Villager}}, as their over-reliance on projectiles causes them to have a difficult time fighting her so long as Gravitational Pull is properly used. Although situational, Gravitational Pull can also [[gimp]] certain recoveries, with the best examples being [[PK Thunder]]; Rosalina can immediately pull away the PSI lightning bolt projectile before Ness or {{SSB4|Lucas}} can use it to recover, rendering them [[helpless]] as a result. Aside from Gravitational Pull, Luma can also be used to block projectiles, although this comes at the cost of depleting its HP.
While being a primarily defensive-minded character, Rosalina has several offensive options that allow her to rack up damage if given the opportunity. Rosalina's dash attack is one of the best in the game and is great for approaching opponents due to its outstanding priority. She also has many attacks with disjointed hitboxes, most notably each of her aerials, which are also very useful for racking up damage. Her neutral aerial, when timed correctly, can be a useful punishing option. Her forward aerial holds the opponent in, hits multiple times and syncs well with her down throw much like {{SSB4|Ness}}', although it is somewhat situational due to its considerable ending lag. Her back aerial is quick and can be used in a wide range of scenarios, such as ledge-guarding. Her up aerial is one of her most effective attacks and is among the best moves in the game, as it possesses fantastic range, can easily be chained into itself and can KO off the top of some stages at very low percents when used properly. Her down aerial is one of the weaker meteor smashes in the game, however, it can still see use for ledge-guarding.  


Rosalina also has access to a unique [[advanced technique]] called [[Lunar Landing]]. If Rosalina inputs her neutral, up or forward aerial attacks right as she lands, the aerial will not come out and she will land without enduring any landing lag, but Luma will continue performing its respective aerial attack. This allows for greater mix-up and follow-up potential, as well as mindgames, but requires Luma in order to actually be performed. Their dash grab also has a similar occurrence, where if Rosalina performs a dash attack and instantly grabs, Rosalina will perform a dash grab while Luma will perform its respective dash attack. This makes their dash grab a lot safer, and means they can deal an extra 3% just by landing the grab. When coupled with Rosalina's reliable set of throws, these traits give her and Luma even greater mix-up potential, as well as more approaching and punishing options.
She is also gifted with a good set of smash attacks. Her forward smash, assuming Luma is next to her, is very quick and possesses a large amount of range, making it very useful to finish off opponents. Her up smash is also quick and, while it possesses less range, it is still a great KOing option regardless. Her down smash has a very different use in that it is very useful for throwing opponents off of her and proper usage of it can make it very hard for opponents to stay on her. Luma can also preform all of its smash attacks away from Rosalina so, in a scenario where it is not safe to approach the opponent to KO, Rosalina still can attempt to KO by sending Luma out.


Despite her various strengths, Rosalina has a few significant weaknesses. Her tall height sometimes makes it very hard to avoid attacks, while her light weight causes her to be very susceptible to early KOs. Although [[Launch Star]] provides very good recovery, it lacks any sort of hitbox, making her vulnerable to meteor smashes. Her disadvantage state is extremely poor, as she cannot deal with [[juggling]] very well thanks to her slow falling speed and average air speed, alongside no safe [[b-reverse]] options to provide a horizational mixup to her landing. Her biggest flaw, however, is that she is drastically weakened without Luma, as her respective attacks' knockback values are among the most unimpressive in the game and both [[Luma Shot]] and [[Star Bits]] are rendered useless. Although Luma will inevitably respawn, the 13 seconds it takes to do so can be more than enough time for the opponent to land a combo or score a KO on Rosalina. This is further compounded by Luma's inability to act out of a [[Tumbling|tumble]] until landing on the ground, as attacks that knock Luma off-stage will result in it being inevitably KO'd, regardless of how much HP it has. Most of the cast also has a reliable move to use in order to KO Luma and thus avoid the risk of being punished by Rosalina. However, both she and Luma have a particularly difficult time against characters with large disjoints or fast moves that deal high base knockback. The most prominent example is {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, who is considered their most challenging matchup because of his overall fast frame data, small size, disjointed range courtesy of {{s|wikirby|Galaxia}}, and his ability to KO her at very low percents via guaranteed combos.
Perhaps the biggest positive trait Rosalina has is that, when used properly, she is practically immune to projectiles via [[Gravitational Pull]]. This move causes Rosalina to absorb and completely nullify any projectile near her, but the move itself deals no damage, although she gains projectile ownership as they are being absorbed. In addition, the move has very fast start-up (frame 2) and very little ending lag, making it very difficult for an opponent to punish her for using it. This makes Rosalina a very useful character to use against projectile-reliant characters such as {{SSB4|Villager}}, as their over-reliance on projectiles causes them to have a difficult time fighting her with proper use of Gravitational Pull. The move can also see use in [[gimp]]ing certain recoveries, with the best example of this being Ness and {{SSB4|Lucas}}' [[PK Thunder]], as Rosalina can absorb the projectile before they can use it to recover and render them [[helpless]] as a result. In addition to Gravitational Pull, Luma can also be used as a shield for projectiles, however, this comes at the cost of depleting its HP.


Rosalina & Luma receive notable benefits from [[custom moves]], most significantly Luma Warp and Shooting Star Bit. Luma Warp, instead of having Rosalina charge up Luma and send it to a certain location, has Luma warp to a fixed distance forward almost immediately. Due to its high speed and weak hitbox as Luma reappears, it is nearly unpunishable and with precision can lead to trapping an opponent. Shooting Star Bit functions similarly to {{SSB4|Falco}}'s [[Blaster (Falco)|Blaster]]: instead of firing three close-range Star Bits, Luma will quickly shoot a single long-range one, which makes it better at shutting down approaches and/or punishing opponents. The rest of her custom moves bring situational benefits to their arsenal. Catch & Release and Guardian Luma both deal damage, but at the severe cost of Gravitational Pull's versatility. Launch Star Plus covers more vertical distance than Launch Star, but cannot be angled horizontally. Launch Star Attack deals damage and can alleviate carelessly veering off the other side of the stage, but it does not propel Rosalina as far or as high and stops her momentum completely. Power Luma Shot and Floaty Star Bit are stronger and consist of multiple hits that can force different approaches, but they travel far slower and are not as versatile.
Rosalina also has access to a unique advanced technique called "lunar landing". If Rosalina inputs her neutral, up or forward aerial attacks right as she lands, the aerial will not come out and she will land with zero landing lag, but Luma will continue performing with the aerial, allowing for more mix-ups, potential follow-ups and mind games. However, lunar landing requires Luma in order to actually be performed. Their dash grab also has a similar occurrence, where if Rosalina performs a dash attack and instantly grabs, Rosalina will perform a dash grab while Luma will dash attack. This makes their dash grab a lot safer, and means they can deal an extra 3% just by landing the grab. When coupled with Rosalina's good set of throws, these traits give her and Luma even greater mix-up potential, as well as more approaching and punishing options.


As a result of their tag team archetype, players must learn to protect not just Rosalina, but Luma as well, which gives them a high learning curve. Further faults to Rosalina & Luma were also brought about via game updates, although they have maintained a great standing in the metagame regardless. This is courtesy of their success in competitive play, such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} advancing to the Grand Finals of [[GENESIS 3]] and winning both [[Apex 2016]] and [[WTFox 2]] while using them. Despite being widely regarded as top-tier characters, Rosalina & Luma have below average representation because of their learning curve and largely defensive playstyle.
Despite all of her strengths, Rosalina has a few significant weaknesses. Her large frame sometimes makes it very hard to avoid attacks and her low weight causes her to be very susceptible to early KOs. While [[Launch Star]] provides very good recovery, it lacks any sort of hitbox, making her vulnerable to meteor smashes. Her biggest flaw, however, is that she is drastically weakened without Luma. Her attacks sans Luma possess some of the worst knockback in the game and their strength is drastically reduced. While Luma will appear again, the thirteen seconds it takes can be more than enough time for the opponent to land a combo or score a KO on Rosalina. And because Luma cannot act out of tumble until landing on the ground, attacks which knock Luma off the edge will KO it instantly, regardless of how much health it has left. As a result, players must learn to protect not just Rosalina, but Luma as well, making them rather difficult to play with. Further faults to both Rosalina & Luma were also brought about via game updates, though despite receiving many nerfs from the patches, they have a great standing in the metagame and have been fairly successful in competitive play (such as Dabuz making it to Grand Finals of [[GENESIS 3]]). Rosalina & Luma are currently ranked 3rd on the [[tier list]], but they have below average representation due to their learning curve and very defensive playstyle.


==Update history==
==Update history==
Rosalina & Luma have been nerfed via game updates, with the most notable occurrence being in update 1.0.4. This update saw some of their attacks' damage outputs, knockback and hitbox sizes decreased, while Luma's respawn time was increased and it lost its ability to attack opponents when they throw Rosalina. However, Luma managed to retain its ability to attack opponents during grabs. The changes to game mechanics also seem to have nerfed Rosalina: due to the reduced power in her attacks, [[hitlag]] will possibly not work significantly unlike if Luma attacked alongside her, which makes it harder for her to punish [[out of shield]]. As a result, the duo are slightly worse than they were in the initial release of the game, although they are still a force to be reckoned with in the current metagame.
Both Rosalina & Luma have been nerfed via game updates, with the most notable occurrence being in 1.0.4. This update saw some of her attacks receive nerfs to their damage and knockback and decreased sizes to some of their hitboxes, while Luma's respawn time was increased and saw it lose the ability to attack opponents when they throw Rosalina (although it retained its ability to attack them during grabs). The changes to game mechanics also seem to nerf Rosalina: if Luma is sent flying, due to the reduced power in her attacks, [[hitlag]] will not possibly work significantly unlike if Luma attacked alongside her, as well as being harder for her to punish [[out of shield]]. As a result, the duo are slightly more balanced than they were in the initial release of the game, although they are still a force to be reckoned with in the current metagame.

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.

|utiltdesc=R: Floats straight up and emits a planetary ring that rises up from her head. Hits through platforms.<br/>L: An upward headbutt. Hitbox comes out fast.
Luma's version comes out on frame 3, making it Rosalina's fastest attack (with Luma). 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.

|usmashdesc=R: Performs a backward-arcing headbutt. Comes out very fast and has a hitbox on her back. Has intangibility on her head.<br/>L: Performs a backflip kick. Good knockback, though it does not KO until 130%. Comes out 10% later than Rosalina.
It comes out on frame 8, which ties it with {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}'s up smash for the second fastest up smash in the game. It also has disjointed range thanks to having a hitbox on Rosalina's back, and renders her head intangible throughout its duration. Aside from KOing, it can be used as an anti-air attack, or to punish rolls because of the aforementioned disjointed hitbox. Luma's attack has very high knockback growth, though its attack does not KO until 130% because of its low damage output. It also comes out 2 frames after Rosalina's.
Great knockback if spaced correctly. Can be used to surprise opponents that comes to her and punish rolling opponents.

|nairdesc=R: Somersaults forward and emits a starry trail of energy at the end of her feet.<br/>L: A spinning kick that hits forward and then backward, which looks identical to its down smash. Can be used to surprise an unsuspecting opponent. Sends opponents in the direction where Luma is attacking.
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.
Can alternate the timing of the attack to confuse opponents in the process. Ideal for combos, gimping, and edge-guarding, since the player can control its attack trajectory. Less punishable with Luma and useful for mindgames and zoning.

|fairdesc=R: A slow backflip kick that emits a spiral galaxy-shaped blast with a starry trail of energy at her feet.<br/>L: Spins in the air. Launches opponents with decent diagonal knockback.
It can be used for edge-guarding and to ward off aerial approaches. While it has high landing lag, this can be mitigated by [[auto-canceling]], but only from a jump. Can be used in unison with the Lunar Landing, which allows Luma to diagonally launch the opponent, and thus be followed up with up smash at very low percents and with up aerial at higher percents.
Can be used for edge-guarding and anti-aerials, though it aims slightly above the opponent. Although it has high landing lag, this can be mitigated by [[auto-canceling]], but only from a full hop. Can be used in unison with the "lunar landing" technique.

|bairdesc=R: A double back kick that emits a spiral galaxy-shaped blast at the end of her feet. Comes out fast and put opponents toward the ledge.<br/>L: A double back kick.  
Rosalina's hitbox deals respectable damage and is quite fast, due to coming out on frame 9, while Luma's hitbox has very high knockback growth. It has low landing lag and both hitboxes are disjointed semi-spikes, all of which make it useful for gimping and edge-guarding, especially when SHFF'd. It can also deal extra damage and knockback from the Lunar Landing, which in turn can be followed up with a grab at low percents, or act as a spacing option with a SHFF.
Attacks at two different altitudes with gimping capabilities. Low ending lag and has a disjointed hitbox. Useful for SHFFing, gimping, and edge-guarding. This move can also gain extra milage from the "lunar landing" technique, which can lead into a grab at low percents, and act as a spacing move in a SHFF.

|uairdesc=R: Emits a planetary ring above her head.<br/>L: A backflip kick, which hits opponent in front of and above itself. High vertical knockback.
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, it has very low startup lag at frame 3, 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 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.
One of the most versatile up aerials in the game, its large disjointed hitbox can easily stop attacks above Rosalina and is useful for juggling and frame traps. It also has high KO potential, especially if the opponent is close to the upper blast line.

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.
Luma's most viable KOing option courtesy of its great knockback. It can hit the opponent even if they are slightly next to Luma instead of directly below it. Though difficult to land, Rosalina can meteor smash opponents when sweetspotted. Even if sourspotted, it results in a semi-spike. Hits through platforms and it is best used to hit opponents below her. Both are useful for gimps and edge-guarding as it sends opponents far.
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabdesc=Reaches out with her free hand. Rosalina's grab range is relatively long and she has the best [[boost grab]] in the game, but her grabs have high ending lag. Her dash grab also possesses a unique quirk if Luma is alongside her: inputting a dash attack while performing a dash grab will result in Rosalina performing her dash grab while Luma still performs its respective dash attack. This makes her grab safer, and also means they can potentially deal 3% upon landing the grab. It also works well in unison with the actual dash attack for mixing up her approach.
|grabdesc=&nbsp;A relatively long range grab. It is worth noting that Rosalina's dash grab can benefit from Luma's dash attack. Whilst running, inputting a dash attack and instantly grabbing can make Rosalina perform her dash grab, while Luma still performs dash attack. This makes their dash grab safer, and also means they can potentially deal 3% upon landing a dash grab. Works well in unison with the actual dash attack for a 50/50 mix up.

*{{Sm|Atelier|Japan}} - The second-best Rosalina & Luma player in Japan of all time, ranking 78th on the [[PGR 100]]. He is best known for winning {{Trn|Umebura 31}} over {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, and {{Sm|Kameme}}, and has placed top 8 at several other {{Trn|Umebura|series}} and {{Trn|Sumabato}} events, most notably 7th at {{Trn|Umebura Tokaigi Qualifier}} over {{Sm|9B}} and {{Sm|Raito}}.
===Inactive===
*{{Sm|Dabuz|USA}} - The best Rosalina & Luma player of all-time who is also one of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s best players, ranking 4th on the [[PGR 100]]. Although infamous for being one of the best players without a major win in ''Smash 4''{{'}}s early years, he broke his drought after winning {{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}}, one of the largest ''Smash 4'' events, and has since won five other majors and supermajors during ''Smash 4''{{'}}s prime, including {{Trn|The Big House 7}} and {{Trn|Frostbite 2018}}.
*{{Sm|Abadango|Japan}}
*{{Sm|falln|USA}} - The third-best Rosalina & Luma player of all-time, ranking 29th on the [[PGR 100]]. Although ranked on all five PGR iterations, his best performances took place in the last two years of competitive ''Smash 4'', which includes winning the regionals {{Trn|Port Priority}} and {{Trn|Noods Noods Noods: Melee Edition}} defeating {{Sm|Elegant}} at both events, placing 5th at {{Trn|2GGC: Greninja Saga}} defeating {{Sm|ZeRo}}, and placing 7th at {{Trn|GENESIS 5}} defeating {{Sm|Ally}}.
*{{Sm|Kirihara|Japan}} - The second-best Rosalina & Luma player of all-time, ranking 28th on the [[PGR 100]], and is one of Japan's all-time best players. He is best known for winning {{Trn|Frame Perfect Series 2}} and double-eliminating {{Sm|ZeRo}}, becoming the first Rosalina & Luma player to win a major and doing so a week before Dabuz's victory at Civil War. In addition, he has placed top 8 at multiple majors, including 4th at {{Trn|Umebura F.A.T.}} and 5th at {{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}}.
*{{Sm|Rayquaza07|USA}} - Rarely attends majors, but has placed well at all of them, with his best placement being 5th at {{Trn|The Big House 5}} defeating {{Sm|ANTi}}. In addition, he placed 17th at {{Trn|The Big House 6}} defeating {{Sm|JK}} and double-eliminating {{Sm|MVD}} as well as 33rd at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2016}} defeating {{Sm|Mr.E}}.
*{{Sm|Yuzu|Japan}} - First known for placing 3rd at {{Trn|Umebura 26}} defeating {{Sm|KEN}}, and has since become the third-best Rosalina & Luma player from Japan despite being relatively inconsistent, most notably placing 2nd at {{Trn|Umebura 34}} over {{Sm|Kirihara}}, {{Sm|Tsu-}}, and {{Sm|Zackray}} as well as 13th at {{Trn|EVO 2018}} defeating {{Sm|ANTi}}, {{Sm|JK}}, and {{Sm|takera}}.


===Tier placement and history===
==[[List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character trailers#Rosalina & Luma|Reveal trailer]]==
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.
<youtube>pPdutb_6DZU</youtube>


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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*At E3 2014 and [[Smash-Fest]], Rosalina & Luma were the only [[newcomer]]s not available on both demo versions of ''SSB4''.
*Luma and {{SSB4|Mega Man}} are the only characters in the game to have unique KO animations once having passed the blast line. Luma's is smaller than other characters, and appears as a burst of colorful stars.
*If Rosalina is being [[star KO]]'d and Luma is KO'd before her voice clip finishes, her voice clip may be cut short.
*At E3 2014 and [[Smash-Fest]], Rosalina & Luma were the only newcomers not available on both demo versions.
*[[Hack|Model swapping]] reveals that Rosalina's legs, unlike {{SSB4|Peach}} and {{SSB4|Zelda}}'s, are not fully modeled under her dress.
*Rosalina, {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}, and {{SSB4|Roy}} are the only three characters who use different voice clips in all of their smash attacks.
*Rosalina and {{SSB4|Mega Man}} are the only newcomers to appear in the CGI portions of a newcomer trailer other than their own. In this case, they both appear in {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}'s.
*When Rosalina successfully grabs an opponent, Luma starts dancing.
*[[Luma|Polari]], one of the Lumas, sports a unique animation compared to the other Lumas in {{forwiiu}}. He has tears in his eyes while he is in hitstun.
*In the Wii U version, one of the [[tips]] about Rosalina's forward smash uses masculine pronouns on Luma: "''When Luma is behind Rosalina, this attack won't send '''him''' charging as far forward as usual.''".
*Luma and Mega Man are the only characters in the game to have unique [[blast line]] KO animations. For Luma, its animation and coloration is smaller and different than other characters' and it emits stars.
*All of the colors the Luma can appear as represent most of the Lumas that appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'';
*Aside from her default costume, all color variations of Rosalina's official artwork have a coloring error. A portion of her hair behind her back is colored the same as her dress.
**Yellow Lumas can transform into {{s|mariowiki|Launch Star}}s or {{s|mariowiki|Sling Star}}s. Giant yellow Lumas also appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.
*There is a total of 17 stars on Rosalina's dress. This is easiest seen when Rosalina is wearing either her black dress or her white dress.
**Blue Lumas can transform into {{s|mariowiki|Pull Star}}s.
*Interestingly, despite being a newcomer, internal voice file for Launch Star is organized by three-number codes instead of having a descriptor on them (e.g. "furafura" for the [[stun]] voice clip), akin to those for special moves, Final Smashes, and on-screen appearances of the [[veteran]]s.
**Green Lumas can be found on the {{s|mariowiki|Planet of Trials}} after finding the three {{s|mariowiki|Green Power Star}}s in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
*Rosalina's official artwork shows her wielding her wand with her right hand, despite the fact that she holds it in her left in-game.
**Red Lumas allow [[Mario]] to use the power of the {{s|mariowiki|Red Star}} while on the {{s|mariowiki|Comet Observatory}} and on one of the {{s|mariowiki|Purple Coin}} missions.
*Rosalina & Luma's render in {{for3ds}}'s character select screen is slightly altered, as Luma is placed significantly closer to Rosalina to fit it into the icon. They, along with {{SSB4|Olimar}} and {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}}, are the only ones to have edited renders in the game.
**[[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Baby Luma]], who assists Mario by granting him the ability to {{s|mariowiki|spin}} in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', is uniquely cream-colored.
 
**{{s|mariowiki|Polari}}, Rosalina's trusted advisor from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', has a unique overall coloration of a dark brown body and light blue eyes. He is confirmed as Polari in a [[List of tips (SSB4-Wii U)#Rosalina & Luma|tip]].

*The polari colored luma has tears in its eyes when it's in hitstun.

*Rosalina and Mega Man are the only two ''SSB4'' newcomers to appear in the CGI portions of a newcomer trailer other than their own; in this case, they both appear in {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}'s.
