The Brawl Countdown hits day 5
Rick52 summarizes another Veteran character.
Day 5: Luigi
Series: Super Mario Brothers Series
First Apperance: Mario Brothers [Arcade, 1983]
Last Main Apperance: Super Mario Galaxy [Wii, 2007]
Smash Experience: One of the Originals
Intro: Yeah, I'm one of those guys who always preferred Luigi over Mario, to the point where sometimes, I would start a two player game on an old Mario game, kill off Mario and then just play as Luigi. I'm not particularly fond of the persona Luigi has taken on through the years, either. Brawl... isn't helping. Not a lot of info has come out regarding Luigi, so most of this is just speculation.
Standard B: Fireball. Its green, and travels on a straight path instead of bouncing. ...yeah.
Side B: Luigi Torpeeeeedo! I've read it can still backfire, and in fact forces Luigi into walls on misfires, but I think the misfire rate has been reduced some.
Up B: Luigi Coin Jump. Straight up instead of up and to the side like Mario. I hope you can still try to smash this attack for massive damage.
Down B: A lot of people were wondering about this considering Mario's down B became his midair down A and his down B became FLUDD. However, its been confirmed that Luigi's down B is still his old down B, the Luigi Cyclone. Oh well.
Final Smash: People have been complaining about clone Final Smashes. With, what, three landmasters floating around you would think Luigi's FS is similar to Mario's. Oh my, how not true that is. In Luigi's FS, dubbed "Za Warudo" for the time being, he dances. Dances hardcore. While doing this hardcore dancing, a weird energy field surrounds Luigi. Foes caught in the field become slowed, as well as possibly being hit with other statuses. Its also said that if Luigi hits you while in said zone, you'll fly farther than normal. All in all, it seems like a very useful, if out of nowhere, Final Smash.
Other Notes: In Melee, Luigi was the only one who had a taunt that did damage, albeit poor damage. This time, it does 2% damage, but it looks like it can send people flying. Neat.
My Expectations: It doesn't seem like Luigi has changed much, in terms of personality and playing style. Its too bad for the former, but for the latter I don't mind too much.
