Luigi (SSB)/Taunt

Hitbox visualization of Luigi's taunt.

Overview

Luigi puts his arms by his sides and slightly behind him, lowers his head and kicks with his left foot. The taunt is unique as it is the only taunt in the game which possesses a hitbox. The kick has a hitbox which deals 1% with set horizontal knockback. The hitbox is extremely ineffective due to the move's extreme startup lag and extremely poor range. The move flatout fails to connect against certain character on the ground, even if Luigi is right next to them. Its knockback is not particularly powerful either although it is high enough to send most characters into tumble. As a result of its horrible speed and range, the taunt is almost never used as an intentional attack. The move can be used as an infinite if two Luigi's perform the move on lighter characters although this naturally cannot be done in a 1v1 and Luigi has better options in a doubles or free for all scenario.
