In a match last night at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, one Luigi player pulled out a move that few would ever expect in a competitive setting: the taunt.
According to SmashWiki, Luigiās taunt is the only taunt in the game that does damage, dealing a measly 1 percent. Itās the knock-up thatās useful, and used as a set-up for a nice spike upwards, it can be potentially devastating.
Itās also incredibly hard to land this move, as itās fairly telegraphed. But if someone isnāt expecting it, that might be all the advantage you need. It can not only knock your foe up in the air, but also act as an edge guard against unaware opponents.
Froggy, the Luigi player, would go on to make it all the way to loserās round 6 before falling out of the tournament, finishing at 7/8th place.
