The '''Luigi ladder''' is a [[technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It involves two [[Luigi]]s repeatedly using their [[Super Jump Punch]] against each other back and forth, allowing them to steadily climb upwards past the upper [[blast line]] and beyond. It is not clear why the Luigis do not [[KO]] each other while above the blast line. | |||
The Luigi ladder is banned in tournament play, though this, of course, is only significant in [[doubles]]. Since [[Friendly Fire]] is turned on in standard tournament rules, a team of two Luigis could execute the technique and create an essentially unbeatable [[stalling]] technique. | The Luigi ladder is banned in tournament play, though this, of course, is only significant in [[doubles]].

It can still be used to gain any amount of vertical distance (such as for [[recovery]], although it is very situational) or to stall against a ceiling. | ||

*It is also possible to perform the Luigi ladder by having both players [[Super Jump Punch]] on the same frame, creating a much shorter jump which gives control back to the players much faster and in a synchronised fashion. However, as both Luigi's must be next to each other, the uses for recovery are far more limited, and avoiding the [[helpless]] state is purposeless when stalling. | *It is also possible to perform the Luigi ladder by having both players [[Super Jump Punch]] on the same frame, creating a much shorter jump which gives control back to the players much faster and in a synchronised fashion.

**This is also possible (though generally more difficult) with other characters, notably [[Samus]]'s [[Screw Attack]], [[Pikachu]]'s [[Quick Attack]]'s and [[Link]]'s (but not {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s) [[Spin Attack]]. Of the four characters, Link gains height the fastest, then Pikachu, Luigi, Samus. However, Pikachu turns around after every Quick Attack. | **This is also possible (though generally more difficult) with other characters, notably [[Samus]]'s [[Screw Attack]], [[Pikachu]]'s [[Quick Attack]]'s and [[Link]]'s (but not {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s) [[Spin Attack]].
