+===Tier placement and history===
+Luigi was at first regarded as a mid-tier character, due to his combination of a strong [[combo]] game, good projectile, and quick frame data on one hand, and poor mobility and a predictable recovery on the other hand. Opinions on Luigi saw a sudden rise in early 2015, as players recognized the potency of his combos and KO set-ups off of his down throw, as well as a very manageable match-up against {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}, who was considered the best character at the time, giving Luigi a strong niche as a counter-pick. He earned his position as a top-tier character in the eyes of the community, because despite having fairly limited usage at high-level play, he was highly common at low- and mid-level play.
+Luigi then went through a noticeable drop in perception after patch 1.1.1 made it harder for him to punish [[out of shield]] and removed his guaranteed KO set-ups off of his down throw, and his status has continually declined since then, with him ranking at 16th in the upper mid-tier of the first 4BR [[tier list]], before dropping another 13 spots on the second iteration, and he currently ranks at 29th in the mid-tier, roughly where he was according to popular opinion during the very early months of ''Smash 4'''s lifespan.
