Overview

Swings his hand downwards, similarly to a karate chop. Outstanding speed,on par with PAC-Man's forward aerial, and it's very good for combos and edgeguarding due to its average knockback, favourable angle and extremely low lag. Like all of Luigi's aerials, it's important for his metagame.
