2/15 Character: Character Unlock #3*

[dcmjlive]

Luigi

Luigi is the dreamy, comical poster boy of the Smash series, and everywhere he goes his slightly awkward presence is felt.

This time around I’d like to present him as less of the eternal second fiddle—and maybe give him a new title like, "everyone’s favorite man in green"!

Luigi's Special Moves

Standard Special Move	Fireball
Side Special Move	Green Missile

Down Special Move	Luigi Cyclone
Final Smash	Negative Zone

| Tips

<Up Special Move: Super Jump Punch>

The Super Jump Punch is Luigi’s calling card.

If you hit the opponent with it midmove, Luigi merely taps the opponent, knocking out a single coin.



BUT! When you get in close and connect with the beginning of the move...



PING! Luigi sends ‘em rocketing skyward!

This is the Fire Jump Punch. It’s more potent on the ground than in the air, so try catching the enemy off guard with it after a quick dash or evasive roll.

Sadly, Luigi’s a sitting duck when he whiffs this attack.



<Side Special Move: Green Missile>

Boost the damage and distance the Green Missile can fly by holding down the special-move button!

Occasionally, regardless of whether you charge the move or not, the Green Missile will launch explosively!

This happens about 1/8th of the time and dramatically boosts the power of the attack!

Remember to aim carefully before blasting off.

<Final Smash: Negative Zone>

When you trigger Luigi’s Final Smash, funky world music fades in and the immediate area gets wrapped up in the Negative Zone.

You’re on Luigi’s turf now!

Opponents who set foot in the Negative Zone are plagued by a random assortment of effects including:

• Drastically reduced attack power
• Greater launch distance when hit
• Increased likelihood of slipping
• Steady increase in damage percentage
• Flower growth on head
• Dizziness
• Uncontrollable taunting
• Sudden sleepiness
• Decreased movement speed

...And so on.

If you fall asleep or get dizzy here, you’ll have no way to avoid the inevitable Fire Jump Punch that will seal your fate!!

Easy pickings. Mmm mmm.

If your opponent unleashes the Negative Zone, at least try to stay in the air. While aloft you won’t suddenly sleep, slip, or start taunting.

Yay!

I have to say that I now like his FS, now I know what it does!

[yoshicookiezeus]

Yes, his FS looks fun, but I wonder where it comes from. I've never seen Luigi using anything like it...

[dcmjlive]

I know where his FS comes from. It's actually pretty original but it has sources. The negative zone is as the update says, Luigi's turf. So how does something negative be Luigi's turf right? The answer is simple. When Luigi was put in the Mario world, it was an afterthought. They wanted a way that 2 people could play the game. But since the game was far in production, they made Luigi the first clone. But not any clone, a negative color swap of Mario. Red's negative is green. Well, his character is more developed now. The effects of the FS is a play of what is negative about smash. And the dancing, well Luigi's an eccentric character.

Quite an interesting bit of history there.

[Uncle Mikay]

Kevin's not gonna like that you beat him to the update, DJ.

[dcmjlive]

Well, you snooze, you lose. Haha. Joke. Anyway, I do these updates because I do it simultaneously with the brawl cast. Speaking of which, I still have no idea where to put him.

This time around I’d like to present him as less of the eternal second fiddle – and maybe give him a new title, like "everyone’s favourite man in green"!

Haha - everyone's favourite second fiddle!

Not quite sure about that shade of denim though. Mind you, I'm not one to talk on that front.

[dcmjlive]

I'm going to predict the next character to be shown on the DOJO!!

FALCO!

This is an educated guess. But as to why I said so...secret. I hope you'll see the pattern. Or maybe not.

10/10
Next Character: G+W or one of the Villains...(including Ganondorf, and others, if there are others...)

[noname]

I thought Luigi's FS just slowed time, but the random effects are pretty cool. Luigi seems overall imporved now too to kinda make up for him being a half-clone now.

[Wumbo]

nice update 10/10

I hope your right!

Luigi's FS is really interesting, what really made me laugh was the effect of "Uncontrollable Taunting" thats hilarious.

I guess Luigi is a big fan of poses. He wants others to pose...and wants to pose a lot too. HAHA.

I love this update. Luigi is so cool. Way better then Mario. And his final smash is BA. I predict the next character update to be Jigglypuff.
