Luigi (Super Smash Flash)

Luigi is a playable veteran unlockable character from the Mario universe in Super Smash Flash. He is one of four clone characters in the game, borrowing his moveset from his brother,. Moreover, the creator of Luigi's sprites is also the user Xander, who picked a Mega Man 8-like style for the Mario Bros.'s appearance.

He is tied for 3rd on the tier list with his brother. Luigi has excellent horizontal movement, high jumps, and good KO power. He has easily the best projectile in the game, the Fireball, due to its very fast speed and firing rate. The Luigi Cyclone is a good turtling move, as it comes out fast, surrounds Luigi on both sides, has a long active period, and has instant-KO properties.

Like Mario, Luigi does not have any real weaknesses, other than his lack of a momentum cancelling attack. This lack of downsides makes his strengths appear even more pronounced, as he has strong matchups across the board, resulting in his high placement.

Trivia

 * As it was with the case of Mario, Luigi's original sprite sheet by Xander actually has elements that were omitted from SSF due to limitations, such as Luigi hitting with his rear or the coins from Super Jump Punch.
