He already has a unique moveset. Only a few of his specials are superficially similar to Mario's.
And he should be similar to Mario anyway. In most of his mainline appearances he's just Mario with different attributes.

Ryce is right. Luigi is the Luigi to Mario's Mario.
He's had a couple of appearances where he has his own thing, but the overwhelming majority of his appearances in the main Mario series he's a green Mario, or a character who plays an awful lot like Mario.
And that's okay. Being Player 2 is integral to Luigi's character. It's who he is. He'll never escape Mario's shadow, but that's okay; it's a big part of what makes Luigi Luigi.

It's just the fireball and triple jump that's similar to Mario's specials, right?

Losing his spin attack would cripple his offense, though. I'd rather he not have the Poltergust.

I don't see any side, down and up special, right? We haven't seen grab as well.
If they don't reveal him then, then I think he's getting the boot. Unless that unannounced Sonic exclusive is due before Smash. Then he might get another shot, but I have the feeling if he was in it, a Lost World Direct would be the place to announce it.
Speaking of Sonic, look what I saw on the way to work in front of a local game store lol.
Poor guy will be unemployed for a little bit after his exclusive Nintendo games. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT NINTENDO? A FORMER ADVERSARY WHO ADMITTED DEFEAT YEARS AGO, AND HAS JOINED FORCES WITH YOU TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO STARVE? #Sonic4SmashPart2
Poor guy must be dying in that costume, it's 91 degrees here (I live in Florida). The costume is also a bit funny looking.

In all fairness they crippled his offense already in the Melee to Brawl transition. At this point they might as well start fresh. Perhaps the P-gust would give him sort of a ranged grab so he could start up combos or something?
On the flip side, his angled up side smash was a joy to have. I did miss his powerful karate chop and down air.

If the gust dazed slightly and pulled opponents in perhaps it could be used as a setup for the fsmash/Upb. Beyond that it'd hopefully help those who are less knowledgeable about the character see the differentiation between his set and Mario's.
They need to restore his aerials at any rate. They'd also work very will with the poltergust I'm theorizing about.
I wish they would add Monster Hunter and Amaterasu.
It's super unlikely though.
She In Mahvel, Megamun is getting his due, because he wasn't in Mahvel.
The former however a long with Sengoku Bassarra didn't want to be in marvel. What are they too good for Mahvel.

Yeah, same here. I would apply same rule to Wonder Red this Friday.
Isn't that his side special?
Oh yeah. I forget all about that picture.
Lost World's coming out this year, unlike Smash.
edit: I somehow glazed over unannounced. I still don't think they're in any rush to reveal the veterans though, there's a good chance he'll be in without any cross-promotion.
This post disappoints me. ;_:

Where does the thread title comes from ?
Miiverse where people actually thought pilotwings' stage was minecraft stage.
I wish they would add Monster Hunter and Amaterasu.

I think one Capcom character is kind of enough to be honest. :V
Yeah, we're probably months away from the first Assist Trophy details.

I wouldn't expect any announcement for Smash this Friday but it wouldn't stop me from hoping for Wonder-Red. It could be Bayonetta for many fans out there.
A W101 rep isn't happening in the first place. That game's gimmick revolves around how dozens of characters come together to act as one. It'd wreak havoc with their memory budget unless they cut it down to just one representative, which would be missing the point entirely.
I'll keep some crow handy if they find the wizardry to make it work.

If I may speak on another game that get people hype.
Its kind of odd, the series that weren't represented in Mahvel and why. Monster Hunter, their guys just said their characters felt like they wouldn't fit in well. The sengoku basarra guys( unless they said something recently) offered no explanation, which I am kind of interested in , because this is a situation where there is very little reason to say no. Also we got Nemesis which is nice, but have 3 other reps for RE and No reps for lost planet. Who had a rep in Tastunoko vs capcom, which was the more Japan/eastern focused game, featuring series like Lost Planet and Dead Rising a bit more western focused in their targeting . Tatsunoko vs Capcom, not even originally planned to be released in the west. Why didn't ya just use the giant lost planet robot instead of nemesis. Though capcom seems to want to forget this franchise is even a thing, not even advertizing its new game Lost planet 3
We could make threads on capcom's questionable decisions though. I plan to make one about the 3d sections in the later megaman X games.

Luigi was using his side special in that old picture drawn by Sakurai's new staff. So, they probably like it quite a bit.
I think dumping tons of classic Luigi things like the fireball and jump for a moveset entirely based around the Poltergeist would be a mistake. I'd like to see one attack using it though, like how Mario has the Sunshine waterpack, although hopefully it'd be a more useful attack.
Considering how Olimar has been reduced to three Pikmin, I guess there's little chance of a Wonderful 101 addition, because they'd need to be more detailed, so I'm not even sure if they could add three helpers. It also kills my hope for an Advance Wars character that fights by summoning troops...

Huh, I had forgotten that they changed Mario's DownB in vanilla brawl. I guess the poultergust would actually make him more of a clone character in that case.
Just silly choices I imagine. I'm damn sure MonHun and Sengoku would of been good reps in Marvel.
Some of these decisions are bullshit and just lousy excuses.

Well, we don't have to worry about character reveal for few weeks or so. I can predict that we are getting newcomers trailers for Nintendo Pre-TGS event or so.
True that, Blade wasn't included because They thought there would be too many sword character. Uh.. what? I was denied, Blade Dante's predecessor in long coat gun sword badassery, because you thought there were two many swords. You were ready to put the sengoku basarra guys and monster hunter dude in there, who use swords, what the crap?And Why didn't they use DMC4 Dante, I am not going to too much into it because this is a smash thread, but I also was little saddened Blade Master Alostor from Viewtiful Joe wasn't in the game so he could have his talk with Dante.
I Also had heard though that X's exclusion was because Zero was more of a kind of more of a favor to Itsuno more than a slight. Because Itsuno always liked Zero, but I am not entirely sure I believe that. The reason being ,they could have just used another megaman ( like volnutt who was in tastunoko vs capcom) , or they could have just used Zero games Zero or the Zx dudes so they could just transform into either megaman or Zero.
But what is done is done, for now. Capcom is... I do not even know right now, doing questionable things.

The great thing about Luigi being revealed is that we're going to get a bunch of pictures of him on the website and they're all going to be great and comical in some way because it's Luigi.
Speaking of which, I really liked the bait and switch picture thing he had going today. I at least went in to the direct thinking we'd have no new info at all about Smash, especially with the original pic of the day. Today was a pleasantly surprising day.

It was actually because they felt he would bring nothing new or interesting, with the many people already with swords/guns. Even though its still a stupid reason.
Right now Capcom's digging a deep hole for themselves. They love to contradict choices and make weird decisions nobody wants.
I'll try not to stray off OT too much, so um, who's not expecting a Luigi screen tomorrow?

I really hope they announce Captain Falcon for much the same reason, but then I realize there is no game in the foreseeable decade that Captain Falcon could be used to market.

Having just finished Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, going back to the version of Luigi they use for all other games is disappointing.
I've always thought that the M&L games have the best visual interpretations of Mario and Luigi. They both have far more of a personality in the M&L games than they do in other games (Luigi in particular), and it's reflected in their character designs.

I dunno , while super paper mario was a break from traditional rpg stuff, everyone personality wise was gold in that game.
It is very much dumb, I would trade blade for Taskmaster any day of the week.

We need a capcom downward spiral thread from about the middle of Ps2 generation untill now.
But yeah, I guess we gotta stay on topic. Do you think Megaman will have alternate colors of all the powers he has in the game. Up grades to your guy was always my favoirte parts to he megaman games, so for me it would a nice inclusion. Not as cool as the ZX games actually obsorbing some of their outfit
(frigging ninja)
But still pretty cool.
Would of liked the poltergust Luigi.
This. Fuckin' Sakurai.

Yay Luigi. Hopefully Poltergust is implemented and FLUDD is either fixed or removed.
Based on Luigi's expressions, they've obviously considered Luigi's Mansion.

We already saw Mario using FLUDD in that Sakurai's match during E3
W101 could be an assist trophy then. You get a Unite Weapon at random or something like that! So they could announce that and the return of assist trophies on Friday.

I remember that but it's still early. I found a couple uses for it in Brawl, but it wasn't powerful enough.
Kirby had his Melee Side B in the Brawl reveal trailer in E3 2006. It was swiftly changed the next time we saw the move to the one that's in the final game. FLUDD still has chances of being changed/modified or even removed. (Please god if you keep it actually make it do DAMAGE and put in the Hover Nozzle when used in the air).
