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. | The majority of Luigi's [[custom move]]s are useful, with his most notable ones being Floating Missile and Quick Missile.

Ice Ball has a slightly lower damage output, higher startup lag, shorter range, and travels slower. However, it momentarily [[freeze]]s opponents beginning at 50%, while its slower speed enables Luigi to fire multiple Ice Balls in immediate succession. True to its name, Burial Header [[buries]] grounded opponents, but also covers much more vertical height; descends much faster; and has much less landing lag.

True to its name, Burial Header [[buries]] grounded opponents, but also covers much more vertical height; descends much faster; and has much less landing lag. However, it deals much less damage and lacks KO potential. Mach Cyclone covers almost no horizontal distance, and possesses a [[windbox]] and a concluding hitbox instead of multiple hitboxes. However, it covers a tremendous amount of vertical distance, while its lone hitbox is very powerful, making it very useful for edge-guarding. Aside from these, the rest of Luigi's custom moves are generally not worth using because of their advantages being situational at best. | ||
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. | Overall, Luigi can be a force to be reckoned with as long as his significant flaws are circumvented.

Unlike Luigi Cyclone, the first "hit" becomes an undamaging [[windbox]], while the second hit sends Luigi up from the ground, while also dealing twice as much damage with significantly more knockback. Altogether, these traits make it more efficient at recovering and edge-guarding compared to Luigi Cyclone. It KOs middleweights at 75% while near the left/right blast lines of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version. However, it does not cover any horizontal distance on the ground, cannot punish rolls because of its windbox, and has more ending lag. | ||

It is also very strong: while near the edge of Final Destination, it KOs middleweights at 33% in the ''3DS'' version. | ||
