Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

An icon used in notice templates. NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

  • Change 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.
  • Change Like most of the returning roster, Luigi has become much more expressive than in the previous games.
    • Change His eyes during the last pose of his up taunt are now shut, displaying terror rather than surprise.
  • Change Luigi has a new dashing animation akin to how he runs in Luigi's Mansion.
  • Change His attacks are much more vibrant such as a vortex forming when he performs Luigi Cyclone, spinning when Green Missile misfires, or wincing in the final part of his up taunt. Additionally, Luigi's charging animation for the Green Missile has been changed.

Attributes

  • Buff Like all characters, Luigi’s jumpsquat now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

  • Change Luigi has a new up tilt, a short uppercut.
  • Change Side tilt has an altered animation.
  • Buff Side tilt appears to be slightly faster.

Special Moves

  • Change 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.
  • Buff Super Jump Punch has significantly decreased landing lag.

Trivia

  • Luigi's official artwork uses the "hip thrust" pose from his neutral attack's third hit, which returns from Super Smash Bros. 4.
