Luigi (Super Smash Flash 2)

Luigi is a playable veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash 2, as 's twin brother, they more or less have a similar moveset but with different attributes enough to tell them apart. His reveal took place at the end of the McLeodGaming stream at Super Smash Con 2015 as a "surprise". His sprites are custom made and based on his appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. His moveset directly comes from the said game. His voice clips come from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is voiced by Charles Martinet.

Luigi is ranked 38th of D tier on the current tier list, placing him in the lower low tier. Luigi has amazing frame data, one of the strongest combo games in the current demo and strong priority. Luigi has a strong list of KO options in his arsenal, including forward smash, up smash, forward aerial,, back aerial, Green Missile, Luigi Cyclone when killing off the top, and a sweet spotted Super Jump Punch. Luigi also possesses one of the strongest aerial games in the current demo, with fast, strong aerials that have great priority in them.

However, Luigi has his weaknesses in that he doesn't have great approach options. Luigi has one of the worst overall mobility in the game, possessing the worst air speed while also having below average dashing speed. He also lacks range, which gives him trouble approaching characters with disjointed range (,, etc.). He doesn't have a reliable projectile in the fireball, which is slow and can be clanked with easily. Luigi also has the worst traction in the game, which makes him hard to control when dashing and makes a lot of unsafe moves safe on his shield due to him being pushed too far away. Luigi also has a predictable recovery, in that Green Missile has to be charged to cover a considerable distance if a misfire doesn't happen and can be easily intercepted. Super Jump Punch covers good vertical distance, but it has poor horizontal movement due to the move going straight up and having low drift after the rise. Luigi is also a below average faller, which allows him to be KO'ed vertically early.
