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 SSB4, Luigi's model features a more subdued color scheme. His hair and clothing now features simple detailing, similar to Brawl.- Like most of the returning roster, Luigi has become much more expressive than in the previous games.
- His eyes during the last pose of his up taunt are now shut, displaying terror rather than surprise.
- 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.
- 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 SSB4, which in turn replaced the original yellow L in Brawl.
- Luigi's head is slightly repositioned when using his neutral aerial.
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.
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.

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.
- As a result, Luigi was not shown from the rest of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct 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.
