Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Aesthetics
- 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.
- Like most of the returning roster, Luigi has become much more expressive than in the previous games.
- His eyes during the last pose of his up taunt are now shut, displaying terror rather than surprise.
- Luigi has a new dashing animation akin to how he runs in Luigi's Mansion.
- Luigi's attacks that involve fire, such as his Fireball, have been given brighter, flashier particle effects.
Attributes
- Like all characters, Luigi's jumpsquat now takes three frames to complete.
Ground Attacks
- Luigi has a new up tilt, a short uppercut.
- Forward tilt has an altered animation.
- Forward tilt appears to be slightly faster.
Special Moves
- Luigi's charging animation for Green Missile has been changed. He also now spins when Green Missile misfires.
- 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.
- Super Jump Punch has significantly decreased landing lag.
- Luigi Cyclone now has a vortex form around Luigi when used.
