Regarding stat distribution, keep your FP’s spread balanced as best you can (2100 / 2100) and then make sure its Spirit-type is Neutral so it avoids losing Spirit-type matchups in the future. Even if you already own both of these figures, it is fun to think about and analyze which one is best and why. If you want more detailed information on how Spirits work in this game, please refer to our full Spirits guide. Nintendo stopped creating interesting unlockables for amiibo a long time ago when people started complaining about "paywalls" or whatever, and now it sends like they've almost given up on creating unlockable content at all.

You should also reference our Raid Boss amiibo guides, and if you’re having trouble winning in competitive amiibo, check the official amiibo tier list! The latter two arrive on 19th January 2024, while Sora doesn't have a solid date at the time of writing. Keep Luigi on-stage at all times, as his recovery – despite consisting of both Green Missile and Super Jump Punch – is easily intercepted by human opponents. Omega Luigi stood the test of strength even against several Bowser amiibo during one of the largest amiibo tournaments ever, being Captain Kidd’s 50K Subscriber tournament. So Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker, Smash Brothers Wii U and 3DS, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Hyrule Warriors are all examples of games that work with Luigi.Instadrop is starting to be seen as a broken support spirit, and is being banned in more and more tournaments. Raid Boss bonuses: If you’re training a Raid Boss but don’t want to make use of any of the Spirit effects listed above, you can try a setup including Physical Attack ↑, Move Speed ↑, and Landing Lag ↓ instead.

The metallic paint is a nice accent on this figure and is something I wish the Super Mario Luigi had. When you look at modern toys that could become a collectors item there is some hideous items out there (looking at you funko). While some might say this is boring, when compared to the Smash Brothers Luigi and its more unusual pose, I come down on the side of the Super Mario Luigi. If you’re looking for a tournament-legal spirits Luigi, you can use a combination of physical attack, toss and meteor, floaty jumps, fist attack, fire and explosion attack, move speed up, landing lag down, shield damage up, critical health healing + metal, shield durability up, and, if you’re feeling a bit risky, trade-off ability could work on Luigi as well.Continue shield flickering, parrying, and using everything else listed and reinforce his key moves if he is forgetting to use them. After using an amiibo, when Mario grabs a Mystery Mushroom he takes on the amiibo character's appearance, complete with character-specific animations and sound effects. The fact that Nintendo really did just take the Smash trophy poses with no exceptions showed a lack of planning and forethought about figures down the line. I think most Nintendo fans will prefer the Super Mario one, but if you really like Super Smash Brothers or Luigi’s more eccentric side then this is one of the few figures out there to capture that side of the character. The white on his cap is not evenly painted and Luigi’s eyes look inconsistent with one having a little of a blue accent and the other eye having blue and white accent on my Amiibo which you can see in the picture above.

In addition, stay on-stage at all times, as Luigi’s recovery is easily exploited by aerial-happy opponents. When using Super Jump Punch, hit the sweetspot as often as possible — this may be easier when your FP is at a low level.

It propels him forward and strikes multiple times; Ultimate’s AI drops its guard after blocking the first hit, which makes dash attack great for getting past opponents’ shields. His down throw leads into two forward airs, his up throw combos into an up air, and his back throw can KO at high percentages. So as I always say with a Battle Review, if you had to choose one Luigi Amiibo, which one do you choose? Lord Only BOTW version for the most part are the open and Marriage Mario Amiibos but the rest at still sealed. Oh, and don't forget to hover your mouse over the amiibo image to see what its box art looks like, too.

If you try to train Luigi with his 0-to-death in mind, the amiibo will end up very jumpy and start mashing random aerials. Luigi has Green Missile on stage hard-coded into his AI, but avoiding it at all costs, both using it and being hit by it, will reduce his usage of it by a lot. Train your tennis partner in the Knockout Challenge Mode and upgrade their skills for use in doubles online matches.By prioritizing multi-hit moves like his dash attack and Luigi Cyclone and his strong moves like forward smash and Super Jump Punch, Luigi can be one of the most fierce competitors in a bracket. Overall, SMB Luigi is the better figure, but only because I’m disappointed with how they portrayed Luigi for the Smash line.
