Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

An icon used in notice templates. NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Luigi's model features a more subdued color scheme. His hair and clothing now features simple detailing, similar to Brawl.
  • Change Like most of the returning roster, Luigi has become much more expressive than in the previous games.
    • Change His eyes during the last pose of his up taunt are now shut, displaying terror rather than surprise.
  • Change Luigi has a new dashing animation akin to how he runs in Luigi's Mansion.
  • Change Luigi's attacks that involve fire, such as his Fireball, have been given brighter, flashier particle effects.
  • Change Luigi's "Waluigi" costume now has a green L instead of the purple L in SSB4, which in turn replaced the original yellow L in Brawl.

Attributes

  • Buff Like all characters, Luigi's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

  • Change Luigi has a new up tilt, a short uppercut.
  • Change Forward tilt has an altered animation.
  • Buff Forward tilt appears to be slightly faster.

Special Moves

  • Change Luigi's charging animation for Green Missile has been changed. He also now spins when Green Missile misfires.
  • Change 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.
  • Buff Super Jump Punch has significantly decreased landing lag.
  • Buff Super Jump Punch Travels higher.
  • Change Luigi Cyclone now has a vortex form around Luigi when used.

Trivia

  • Luigi's official artwork uses the "hip thrust" pose from his neutral attack's third hit, which returns from Super Smash Bros. 4.
  • In Simon's reveal trailer, Luigi was shown having his soul taken by Death. This led to humorous posts from the community claiming that Luigi had been "murdered", and Nintendo UK responded saying "Luigi is okay".
