Luigi (ルイージ, Luigi) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was revealed along with the rest of the roster on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from Smash 4, Luigi's model features a more subdued color scheme. His hair and clothing now features simple detailing, similar to his design in Brawl.- Like most of the returning roster, Luigi has become much more expressive than in the previous games.
- Luigi has a new walking animation. Luigi also has a new dashing animation akin to how he runs in Luigi's Mansion.
- Luigi's backward jumping animation was slightly altered: he now performs one backflip instead of two. His backward midair jumping animation was also slightly altered, having him flip less times
- Luigi's attacks that involve fire, such as his Fireball, have been given brighter, flashier particle effects.
- Luigi's "Waluigi" costume now has a green L instead of the purple L in Smash 4, which in turn replaced the original yellow L in Brawl.
- Luigi's head is slightly repositioned when using his neutral aerial.
- Luigi has new sidestep animations.
Attributes
Like all characters, Luigi's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
Ground Attacks
- Forward tilt has an altered animation, now looking similar to Mario's forward tilt, except mirrored.
- Luigi has a new up tilt, a short uppercut, similar to the one he possessed in Smash 64.
Throws/other attacks
- Luigi now uses his new Poltergust from Luigi's Mansion 3 for his grab, shooting a plunger attached to a rope. It can be used in the air just like most tether grabs, but it cannot be used to recover.[1]
Special Moves
- Luigi's charging animation for Green Missile has been changed. He also now spins when Green Missile misfires.
- Like several other powerful attacks in the game, Luigi's Super Jump Punch sweetspot displays a dramatic slow motion effect when it successfully hits an opponent.
- Super Jump Punch has significantly decreased landing lag.
- Super Jump Punch travels higher.
- Luigi Cyclone now has a vortex form around Luigi when used.
Luigi Cyclone now has longer endlag and does not lift as high, hindering its usefulness in recovery.

Trivia
- In Simon's reveal trailer, Luigi was shown having his soul taken by Death, which led to humorous posts from the community claiming that Luigi had been officially "killed off". In turn, BBC News wrote a mock obituary for Luigi. Nintendo UK eventually responded with a short message of "Luigi is okay" as a nod to this event.
- Luigi was not shown from the rest of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct (not counting menus and the like) of August 8th, 2018. Despite this, Mario and Mega Man were present in this Direct, even after what happened in Ridley's reveal trailer.
- Luigi is also one of three characters to not appear in any in-battle footage in the Direct, the others being R.O.B. and the Mii Fighters.
- Luigi was not shown from the rest of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct (not counting menus and the like) of August 8th, 2018. Despite this, Mario and Mega Man were present in this Direct, even after what happened in Ridley's reveal trailer.
- Luigi's Mansion 3 was teased before it was officially announced through Simon's trailer, as Luigi can be seen using the new Poltergust from the aforementioned game.
- Luigi's pose in the panoramic artwork for Ultimate is reminiscent of his pose in a group artwork for Melee.
