Luigi's new grab (which had noticeably more lag) and nerfs to [[Luigi Cyclone]] that removed its recovery and gimping potential initially soured opinions on his viability. However, many players soon realized Luigi's combo game potential, specifically his zero-to-death combos. In addition, several Luigi players placed highly at tournaments as the metagame progressed, most notably {{Sm|Elegant}}, who, despite a rough start, eventually became a top 50 player by the end of the first year. Although Luigi's poor disadvantage state still hindered him, his perception greatly improved, and many players considered him as a mid-tier at worst.

Since then, Luigi's results only improved as his combo game developed even further: in the post-online metagame, Elegant established himself as a top 20 player in the world following a string of top 8 results at supermajor events. Even after Elegant's ban, other Luigi players came and took his place; most notable among them were {{Sm|Luugi}} and {{Sm|Rarukun}}, both of whom have seen placements that were on par with, if not better, than what Elegant had. As such, although Luigi was ranked 47th on the current tier list as an upper-mid tier, many players have argued that he should be ranked in the high-tier due to his strong results and deadly combo game. As a result, he rose eight positions in the second tier list, ranking at 39th place.

As a result, he rose eight positions in the second and current tier list, ranking at 39th place.
