Overview

Luigi performs a sideways hook kick while facing the camera. Like most forward tilts, it has the ability to be angled, which can make it a better anti-air angled up, or hit ledgehangs angled down. In general, however, it is quite unremarkable in almost every area, being most useful as a grounded spacing tool, however even his forward smash provides better range, and forward tilt has a fair amount of endlag, making it a generally poor option to space with unless the opponent possesses low-ranged out-of-shield options. It also possesses no kill power, combo or lock potential, which further makes the move overshadowed by the rest of Luigi's kit. Down tilt is a generally better option to hit the ledge with, and Luigi has other methods of anti-airing as well, not to mention his jab comes out faster, while down and up tilts comes out at the same frame as forward tilt.
