The addition of the Poltergust G-00 has brought both benefits and drawbacks to Luigi. His [[grab]]s are now much longer ranged while retaining only moderate ending lag for their range, and Luigi now has access to a [[grab aerial]], the latter of which can be used as a [[spacing]] tool, start and/or extend combos, as well as even edge-guard opponents. Conversely, Luigi's grabs possess much more startup, and are more prone to punishment due to the ability to cancel [[spot dodge]]s earlier into attacks, making them much riskier to use; this especially weakens Luigi's ability to [[shield grab]], limiting his defensive game and the usage of his pivotal down throw. | The addition of the Poltergust G-00 has brought both benefits and drawbacks to Luigi.

However, Luigi has also received several buffs, with said buffs being of greater quantity than his nerfs. Some of his least useful moves in ''SSB4'' have been significantly improved: his [[down tilt]] can be interrupted twice as fast and deals less knockback, allowing it to poke opponents much more safely and increasing its combo potential, while his [[dash attack]] has considerably decreased ending lag, connects more consistently, and has increased power, making it much safer and more reliable as a burst option, while its higher power gives it utility as a potential KO option near the edge at high percentages. Additionally, his existing KO options have been improved overall, as his [[forward smash]], [[up smash]], [[down aerial]], sweetspotted [[Super Jump Punch]], and [[Luigi Cyclone]] all have increased knockback; his forward smash and [[down smash]]'s launching angles are much more favorable for KOing outright | However, Luigi has also received several buffs, with said buffs being of greater quantity than his nerfs.

Further complementing these changes, Luigi's already excellent combo game has been improved as well. His new [[up tilt]] has less ending lag and more range in front of and above him compared to his previous up tilt, his [[up aerial]] has less ending lag, and his [[down throw]] leads to deadlier combos, having more consistent KO setups and even potential [[zero-to-death]] combos due to its redistributed damage output, lower ending lag and Luigi's faster [[jumpsquat]]. Lastly, Luigi Cyclone has received far more utility overall to compensate for its recovery and gimping potential being removed: in addition to its aforementioned higher knockback, it inflicts more damage, pulls opponents in more consistently thanks to its new windboxes, connects more reliably, has increased range, and grants [[invincibility]] on startup; in particular, the lattermost change means Luigi has the fastest option to break out of combos in the game. | Further complementing these changes, Luigi's already excellent combo game has been improved as well.
