Luigi's aerial mobility in this game opens up options that feel genuinely overpowering in the right hands. Hungrybox explores the character's potential through the lens of his Cyclone, a move that the developers enhanced compared to previous iterations. The reduced reaction time online amplifies what's already a strong tool, creating situations where opponents struggle to mount an effective defense. This video digs into why Luigi's air game—combined with his frame data and approach options—can dictate matches in unexpected ways. The analysis reveals gaps in how the neutral game plays out when one player controls the space with consistent aerial pressure and recovery mixups. Whether Luigi reaches top-tier viability depends on how the community adapts, but the foundation for competitive success is clearly there for players willing to put in the lab work.

Especially online with reduced reaction time, the cyclone they gave him in this game... Well... This might be a problem. Watch streams at: Social Media: Connect with Liquid fans across the globe on…
