'''Abate''' is a [[smasher]] from Pittsburgh and originally from New Jersey who [[main]]s {{SSBM|Luigi}} in ''[[Melee]]''. Originally a {{SSBM|Falco}} player, he began using Luigi when he counterpicked him against {{Sm|Forward}} after losing the first two games in convincing fashion. After taking inspiration from fellow Pittsburgh Luigi player, {{Sm|Vudujin}}, he has made Luigi his main character.
