Custom 1	Bouncing Fireball	6% (clean), 5% (mid), 4% (late)	Luigi fires a fireball that bounces similar to Mario's. However, the bouncing arc is more vertical. This move weakens with distance.
Custom 2	Ice Ball	4%	Luigi fires a slow-moving iceball that freezes enemies at higher percents.
Side Special	Green Missile	10% (uncharged), ~19.8% (fully charged) 25% (misfire)	Luigi charges up and shoots forward like a missile. If used on the ground for too long, it cancels the charge.

Custom 1	Floating Missile	~4.3% (uncharged), ~18% (fully charged), 23% (misfire)	This only goes straight, which can be more accurate to hitting enemies and getting back on stage. However, it deals less damage. In return, it charges up twice as fast.
Custom 2	Quick Missile	~5.15% (uncharged), ~20% (fully charged), 20% (misfire)	Luigi flies farther, but missing causes him to slide across the ground and be open for an attack.
Up Special	Super Jump Punch	25% (ground sweetspot), 20% (air sweetspot), 1% (otherwise)	Luigi performs an uppercut from a super jump that deals massive amounts of damage if sweetspotted and pitiful damage otherwise.
Custom 1	Fiery Jump Punch	18% (ground sweetspot), 15% (air sweetspot), 1% (otherwise)	Makes it easier to hit the sweetspot at the expense of its power and the move's height.
Custom 2	Burial Header	8% (descent), 8% (landing), 1% (otherwise)	Instead of a fiery sweetspot, Luigi deals burying damage as he falls. Luigi will also get up much faster.
Down Special	Luigi Cyclone	1.5% (loop hits), 3% (last hit)	Luigi rapidly spins around dealing damage the opponent before sending them flying.
Custom 1	Mach Cyclone	6%	Pushes back opponents who are close, and can rise a great amount compared to the other variations. However, only the ending does any damage.
Custom 2	Clothesline Cyclone	8%	Slower, and only hits once, but is stronger. But Luigi cannot float with it.

Special Custom Set B

	Name	Damage	Description
Neutral Special	Thunderhand	3.2% (loop)	Luigi can hold down the special in which he generates a blast of electricity in the shape of a ball from his hands. The longer he holds, the smaller and weaker it becomes. Holding it to long ads 1% damage to Luigi for every hit.
Custom 1	Distant Thunderhand	10%	Instead of holding it down for an extended period of time, Luigi releases the attack which will burst out with electrical energy a set distance away; zapping opponents and launching them.
Custom 2	Sparking Thunderhand	14%, 12%, 10%, 8%, 4%, 2%	Instead of performing multiple consecutive hits, holding down the special will cause Luigi to expel out several bursts of electricity which does less damage the longer it is held and become smaller and slower.
Side Special	Piranha Plant	7% (swallow), 5.3% (per chew), 6% (spit)	Luigi pulls out a Piranha Plant and bites forwards. If it connects, it swallows them and chews them many times before spitting them away.
Custom 1	Inhaling Piranha Plant	4% (swallow), 3.8% (per chew), 3% (spit)	The Piranha Plant now has vacuumboxes, letting absorb opponents from a far distance but deals less damage.
Custom 2	Pyro Piranha Plant	7%	The Piranha Plant expels a stream of fire than chewing, the stream fo fire weakens the long it is used.
Up Special	Spin Jump	2.5% (loop)	Luigi bursts up while spinning rapidly and will then slowly float down while slowly spinning though will enter into a helpless state shortly after the descent starts, being hit, or pressing down. It will cause the opponents to be hit during the spinning portions thought he slow spinning portions do not do damage.
Custom 1	Whirling Jump	5.2% (per hit)	It doesn't carry the opponents along with Luigi but will knock them away when Luigi comes too close. It has a more wild trajectory, wobbling back and forth instead of a straight spin.
Custom 2	Floating Spin Jump	0%	Doesn't do damage but it has more traveling distance. In addition, Luigi has more control over his trajectory; tilting the controls tick allows Luigi to move around more freely.
Down Special	Poltergust 3000	4% (suck in), 10% (shoot out)	Luigi can vacuum in an opponent and then fire them out by letting go of the special. Luigi can also suck in items an then launch them at a fixed damage at 10%.

Taunts

Italics means they have to be unlocked.

• Crosses his arms behind his back and performs a small, shy kick, along with a bashful "Hm" in Brawl and Smash 4. The kick can damage an opponent if it connects. In all games, it acts as a meteor smash; in Brawl and Smash 4, Luigi's taunt is the strongest meteor smash at 0%, due to its fixed knockback. However, its pitiful range and slow startup severely limits its effectiveness. It is similar to his pose when he loses a minigame in Mario Party 2. (Up)
• Performs five quick poses, one after the other. When switching from pose to pose he says, "Ho Ha Hee Hay Hoo". 1st pose: Luigi flashes a V-Sign. 2nd pose: Luigi clicks his fingers imitating guns, while looking to the right. 3rd pose: Luigi takes on a thinking pose, his eyes looking offscreen. This pose is, in some respects, similar to his Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time artwork. 4th pose: Crouches down to the floor with his back turned to the player. 5th pose: Luigi assumes his trophy position from the SSE, but with his left leg slightly raised. This pose also resembles his artwork from Luigi's Mansion (Right)
• Boos appear around Luigi and he makes a frightened pose. Two or four Boos will appear; rotating around Luigi.
• Stands straight up with hands on hips, falls forward stiff on the floor, then seems to balance himself back up again. He says something that resembles "Pow pow". This is also one of his victory poses from SSBM and the pose in his SSB4 artwork. (Down)
