    Luigi can be hella hype. Probably not fun to fight, but certainly fun to watch as a spectator.
  • @Instafail
    I feel Luigi in general makes the games more tense than Sonic or his ilk. And if you don't care for the matchup the games usually go pretty fast, at least. I'm speaking from a spectator point of view. I'll be keeping an eye out for Rarukun and (unrelatedly) Toriguri this year for sure.
  • @mjdevlog
    yeah the character combo route looks repetitive, but due to the unpopularity of luigi in high tier majors nowadays, and how lame the campy gameplay of ult's top tiers are, rarukun here looks like a low tier hero.
  • @charakr
    been keeping an eye on rarukun and toriguri since they have reach heights similar to acola and miya's ratings in online tournaments. Soooo happy to see them destroying the offline scene
  • @ShintaSmash
    Rarukun beating Doramigi still blows me away lol
  • @bluetannery1527
    Rarukun v Miya was a hell of a set. Didn't even feel fair. He was punishing g&w up-bs out of shield, somehow.
  • @ohianaw
    Luigi hits or gets an opening on you you either lose a stock or get huge damage his advantage state is insane and once he gets his hands on you good luck. campers or spacing characters like Zero Suit Samus/Samus Sephitoth Snake Cloud and others give him a hard time but it's still doable
  • @JaveyzZZ
    That nair at 41 was so clutch 😂
  • Luigi might be a cheesy character but he's as fun a heck! Rarukun makes him look so easy at high level competition but it is very hard to pull of combos like he did all tournament.
  • @william_le_w
    The fact that caracters like steve gnw or sonic exist makes it that complain about luigi it's the last thing that i would do
  • @GlitchanBlack
    Luigi might be the cheesiest character in the game, but OOH BOY, IS HE A BLAST TO SEE.

    Luigi is one of the most hype characters in the game. His arms and legs are an inch long, so you shouldn't get touched. He's slow both on the ground and in the air, so it's all fine, ri- K-O! He has to work so hard to get in to do his thing, while so many characters just wave their huge scary hitboxes around. I like seeing how various Luigi players approach the conundrum that is Luigi's complete lack of mobility. There's hype even in footsies when the character doesn't even have footsies to begin with. The precooked grab-to-deaths can be boring if they happen, but that's not really a thing at high enough levels.
  • @Bmansaint213
    This is why i dont like tier list cause any character can be used if one person puts effort and train with them hard enough. Great video!
  • @Kratobert
    Doramigi played the matchup poorly
