Luigi is ranked 18th out of 55 in the [[tier list]], placing him in the B tier. This is a significant improvement over his low-mid tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 28th out of 38, and is Luigi's best proportional tier ranking in the series to date. Luigi's most notable strength is the utility of his moveset: his overall fast frame data makes him difficult to [[Punishment|punish]] and supplements his very consistent and strong combo game; his excellent air game is supplemented by a number of his grounded moves having favorable launching angles, as well as his high jumps and the utility of his aerials: all his aerials can autocancel in a short hop with lenient autocancel windows, generally have low startup and ending lag, are good for combos and his sweetspotted back aerial and clean neutral aerial are strong KO potions; and [[Fireball]] is a fairly quick [[projectile]] with decent range.

Luigi's attributes have also improved. In addition to a much faster [[dash]]ing speed, his air game and aerial mobility benefit from his much faster [[fast falling]] speed; higher [[gravity]]; lower [[short hop]]; and higher [[jump]]. Lastly, Luigi's [[recovery]] remains unpredictable and long-distanced, as [[Green Missile]] and [[Luigi Cyclone]] are both risky to intercept.
