Prelude: Luigi vs Raditz

For every strong and brave hero, there’s always going to be the weaker, cowardly one lagging behind. And these two brothers of famous heroes have been left in the dust for far too long.

Luigi, the younger brother of Mario.

And Raditz, the older brother of Goku.

I’m Br3ndan5, and I’ll be analyzing their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE! Also, to make things more interesting I will be using fully composite versions of both characters.

-A ginormous, ugly welt on an otherwise excellent game
200px-Propeller Mushroom by MetaWeegee

-Can be used as a temporary flamethrower


200px-Powerup-ice-flower-sm by MetaWeegee
Ice Flower:
-The icy cousin of the Fire Flower
-Turns Luigi’s body into solid ice
-Upgrades Luigi’s cyrokinesis to match Mario’s with the same power-up

-Grabbing another Cloud Flower will give him back one cloud
-In this form, can also walk on clouds Luigi couldn’t walk on in base form (even though fucking GOOMBAS can walk on said clouds)
-Like the Bee Mushroom, Luigi also reverts to base form after touching water
BoomerangFlowerSM3DW by MetaWeegee
Boomerang Flower:
-Turns Luigi into Boomerang Luigi
-Can toss Boomerangs much like the Boomerang Bros
-Up to two boomerangs can exist at the same time
-Can shatter brick (though this can be argued to be a result of Luigi’s physical strength)
-Can carry items and coins back to Luigi
-Luigi can purposely avoid regrabbing the Boomerang, causing it to repeatedly circle and hit foes; but on each rotation, it gets slower and slower

Power Flower:
-Once used, Luigi becomes Vanish Luigi, much like Vanish Mario, but with a few differences

-Here, Luigi becomes invisible and is able to pass by enemies unharmed
-Said enemies fail to notice him
-Is not technically invincible however, being affected the same way as his base form by stuff like lava and huge falls

-Can pass through walls and cages both horizontally AND vertically (Mario could only do it horizontally)
-Cannot pass through ice, however
-Only lasts 18 seconds

200px-GoldFlower by MetaWeegee
Gold Flower:
-Turns Luigi into Silver Luigi
-Rather than turning to pure gold like Mario, Luigi turns into pure SILVER, making this qualify as a unique form in the same way as Kitsune Luigi
-Can toss silver balls that turn enemies into coins and instantly kill them
-Yes, it can OHKO BOWSER!
-Among Luigi’s absolute best, most useful and strongest power-ups along with the Hammer Suit

-Seemingly related to the Fire Flower, as after clearing his mission with one, he reverts to Fire Luigi

Copy flower by MetaWeegee
Copy Flower:
-Arguably Luigi’s most useful flower
-Causes dozens of clones to appear once used
-All of which proceed to trample the opponent
-Though is very difficult to do right to counteract this immense usefulness
– Alternatively, each Luigi clone can arm itself with it’s own weapon, and some seem to be capable of thinking by themselves
– Can then all gang up on the foe
– Though the clones seem to disappear shortly afterwards

TanookiSuit4 by MetaWeegee
Sm3dw Statue Leaf By Koopshikinggeoshi-d84ajcf by MetaWeegee
Tanooki Suit/Suit Leaf:
-Both turn Luigi into Kitsune Mario
   -Accessing this form via the Statue leaf will give the form a green scarf, but this is purely aesthetic
-Like the Super Leaf, is kitsune based rather than tanooki based like Mario’s

-Abilities are identical to Fox Luigi
-….But with one extra perk; can turn into the invulnerable Statue Luigi as well
-Can still be eaten by Boss Bass, but aside from that, is completely ignored by enemies

-Can also slide on water
-Speaking of water, is a much better swimmer
-More precision and accuracy and completely removes the “bounce” from his stroke

Other Power-Ups:
10835-Star by MetaWeegee
Starman:
-Turns Luigi into Invincible Luigi for 15 seconds
-As the name states, is invincible during that time duration
-Can kill nearly anyone on contact (including Thwomps and Bowser)
-Greatly increases Luigi’s speed, and he jumps higher and farther in this form
-Also increases his strength to the point where he can throw a dinosaur into orbit

-Still affected the same way as in base by things like lava/poison water

200px-SMG RainbowStar by MetaWeegee
Rainbow Star:
-Turns Luigi into Rainbow Luigi, who is exactly identical to Invincible Luigi

175px-Double Cherry Artwork - Super Mario 3D World by MetaWeegee
Double Cherry:
-Turns Luigi into Double Luigi
-Essentially a downgraded version of the Copy Flower’s ability
-Can create up to 5 clones of Luigi
-Said clones are exactly identical to Luigi, doing everything he does, when he does it
-The clones can’t take a lot of abuse before going down

200px-ShellNSMB by MetaWeegee
Blue Shell:
-Not to be mistaken for the Mario Kart version
-Turns Luigi into Shell Luigi
-Can be gained after fatally taking it from a Blue Koopa Troopa
-Shell can withstand over 200 lbs of force, so it can naturally protect him from enemy attack
-Makes him a faster swimmer

-Can duck into his shell to preform the Koopa Troopa’s signature move; The Shell Dash
-In said shell dash, can go a speeds comparable to Koopa Shells themselves, while still able to jump
-Can plow straight through Thwomps and shatter brick
-Can be whacked towards otherwise inaccessible blocks
-However, depending on the weight, will lose the shell when he jumps

Skills and Abilities:

LuigiToonForce by DoctorMooDB
Toon Force:
-Can pull objects from seemingly nowhere be them power ups or other objects/Items (LINK) (Volume 01)
-Some how survived from being turned into a skeleton after an encounter with a “FishBone” enemy (LINK) (Though he was unable to fight afterwards) (Volume 02)
-Gets flattened, re-inflated, and popped by a Goomba kicking him too hard
    -He ends up surviving (albeit with Yoshi quickly stitching him back together)
Survived getting his skeleton removed/ripped out of his body by Nabbit
-Survived being starved to the point where his body had literally become a stick figure

Jumping:

-Weegee’s signature move
-Can jump over 6 feet higher than Mario

-Thus, can jump over 26 feet
-Uses his agility to crush foes under his feet
-Is even agile enough to backflip off his foes and land a second hit
-Can be used for offense as well as defense
-As shown in Yoshi’s New Island, Mario can time travel by jumping. Given that Luigi is a stronger jumper than Mario, he could most likely do the same.

-Not the best choice against spiky and fiery foes, however
-So useful, Luigi’s incorporated his agility into a physical attack (see Super Jump Punch below)
-Various other techniques, like:
Wall Jump: Can kick off walls to gain height, even able to continually jump between walls.
Long Jump: Leaps forward a huge distance, though doesn’t jump very high. With enough momentum, can Long Jump backwards.
Power Squat Jump: After charging up, can backflip a huge distance in the air, much higher than his basic jump.
Somersault:……A regular jumping somersault, which goes higher than a normal jump. After doing it, Luigi can spin down gently to the ground as shown in SM64DS to cover long horizontal distances.
   -Backwards Somersault: A backwards version, sacrificing vertical range for backwards distance.
   -Roll: Rolls forwards quickly. Can be used to perform the Rolling Leap.
   -Side Somersault: Somersaults to the side.
Double Jump: If Luigi jumps twice in quick succession, he can Double Jump. It goes slightly higher than a normal jump.
Triple Jump: If Luigi performs three jumps in succession, he will flip in midair and jump even higher. Worth noting that, as shown in the SMG games, Luigi can perform a triple jump via kicking with his feet in the air similarly to his Scuttle Jump
Scuttle Jump: Via kicking his feet in midair akin to the Flutter Jump, Luigi can slow down his descent, allowing him to cover greater distances horizontally and land very precisely
Ground Pound: An attack in which Luigi plummets onto his opponent rear-first, stronger than his regular jump. Also, can be used while falling to prevent any damage that would have been taken.
   Star Pound: If Luigi Ground Pounds quickly after doing his spin attack mentioned below, Luigi will twirl around, and home in on nearby foes like Sonic’s Homing Attack.
Spin Jump: See below

Hand-to-Hand Skills:

-Has very high hand-to-hand skill, being extremely technical and versatile in Smash, and knowing a lot about fighting in the RPGS (but Mario’s still more skilled)
-Great at dodging and countering enemy attacks
-Expert at Plumb-Fu, the deadliest martial art in the Mario universe. It makes use of using plumbing tools as weapons to great effect

-Has his own fighting style that focuses on his agility, physicality, and various tools
-Also uses his awkwardness and clumsiness to his advantage to make himself even deadlier

-More intelligent than Mario, and is a better strategist, actually taking the time to think rather than rushing into a fight
-Has a variety of physical techniques he can use, like:

Super Jump Punch:
-An attack that incorporates Luigi’s jumping prowess
-A purely vertical leap at the start 
-Goes higher than Mario’s version
-But cannot move horizontally until after the jump
-If the opponent is RIGHT next to Luigi when he jumps, the move will become the “Fire Jump Punch”, setting foes aflame as they rise into the sky, with immense power and a satisfying, “PING!” effect
-However, if the foe is too far away or if it hits at any other time, it will just knock a single coin out of the opponent, barely causing them to even flinch, and has extremely minimal strength
-If used in midair, it is easier to land the Fire Jump Punch, however, a midair Fire Jump Punch is weaker and lacks the PING effect
-Gains more height if used immediately after a double jump
The Fiery Jump Punch makes it easier to successfully land a Fire Jump Punch and the initial hit has slight invincibility, but the Fire Jump Punch of this version is much weaker, Luigi doesn’t jump as high (though it covers more height when used after a double jump than the origonal when used after a double jump), lacks the PING effect, and Luigi takes much longer to recover after using the move.
The Burial Header eliminates the Fire Jump Punch completely; however, Luigi falls down MUCH faster, to the point where he can bury foes halfway into the ground on impact. In addition, Luigi jumps much higher at the start of the move, and he takes much less time to recover after the move

1200px-Luigi Cyclone SSB4 by MetaWeegee
Spin Jump/Luigi Cyclone/Star Spin:
-A mainstay ability of Luigi’s
-MUCH stronger than Luigi’s regular jump
-Can crush a Koopa into paste-shell and all
-Less vertical height than his standard jump
-Can grant him protection from spiky foes
-Can also be used as a direct attack
-Can move sideways across the ground, at a faster pace than Mario’s
-Can hit up to 8 times
-The final hit launches foes upwards
-If he spins rapidly enough, rises in midair like Mario’s, not gaining as much height, but covering more horizontal distance
-Can be “charged” by using it once on the ground to gain greater height in midair

-Upon meeting Luma, this move got upgraded to also, in addition to all the previous properties, knock opponents away with one powerful hit
-Can be used as a physical projectile reflector
-Can smash crystals and crates
-Makes Luigi swim faster
   -However, every time he uses it underwater, Luigi loses oxygen
-However, the previous 4 traits aren’t spammable, as Luma needs a second to recharge
-Height boosted by some powerups
The Mach Cyclone has less horizontal mobility, but MUCH better vertical mobility in midair. Blasts opponents away with a wind effect for most of the move, but the final hit is ABSURDLY powerful.

The Clothesline Cyclone has three separate hits throughout the move (also lasts less time), is much slower, and gains practically no height in midair, but is quite a bit stronger

Green Missile:
-A move that involves Luigi charging up to fly forward like… a missile
-Burns the opponent upon contact
-If used right after jumping, Luigi gains a slight vertical boost
-Can be charged for about 3 seconds to increase it’s distance and power
-If he crashes into a wall, he will penetrate it and have to pull his head out
-Has a 1/8 (about a 12.5%) chance of misfiring, causing Weegee to cover nearly three times as much distance as an uncharged Green Missle, also traveling much faster and with extremely high power
The Floating Missile travels completely straight, making it more reliable for offense and recovery. In addition, it also charges faster. However, it is weaker than the original, especially when uncharged.
The Quick Missle travels MUCH farther and travels much faster. However, it lacks traction, sliding on the ground after a miss, and it is also weaker when uncharged and misfired (though it’s marginally stronger when fully charged)

Fireball:
-Luigi has limited pyrokinesis without the need of a Fire Flower
-As you may have noticed already, however, he has green fire rather than the traditional color
-Compared to Mario’s fireballs, are a little stronger
-Has a slightly faster rate of fire as well
-However, these fireballs defy gravity, traveling completely straight regardless of whether Luigi is in midair or not
-Does not travel as far as Mario’s fireballs
The Bouncing Fireball behaves like Mario’s, covering more distance and being affected by gravity; however, they weaken even more over time than the regular Fireballs and take slightly longer to recover from.
The Ice Ball is just as it sounds; Luigi seemingly has limited cyrokinietic abilities in base form, if this move is any indication. Anyways, without the aid of an Ice Flower to boost it, it’s slower than a Fireball and Luigi needs slightly more time to throw one. However, it ultimatley covers more distance, and can freeze moderatley damaged opponents. With an Ice Flower, this move gets boosted to do everything Ice Mario’s can.

Double Kick:
-Preformed by preforming his spinning attack mentioned above, then doing a long jump
-If successful, preforms a strong double-footed kick (hence the name)
-Just a normal Long Jump for the second half of it’s duration
tumblr mm6rmrrBb01rrftcdo2 250 by MetaWeegee
Thunderhand:
-Taught to him by the Thunder God and Jellyfish sisters
-Grants him electrokinetic/electricity manipulation abilities in base form
-Luigi’s primary answer to Mario’s pyrokinetic abilities

-Can charge up a ball of electricity to electrocute foes (or paralyze Mario)
-Can even shoot out a ball of electricity bigger than himself
-His electrokinesis can even create craters in the ground at it’s strongest. Keep in mind, real-life lightning cannot do such a feat unless very intense, thus meaning Luigi’s electricity is able to reach 30,000 degrees Celsius at it’s max! This ALSO means it can potentially have over 100,000 amps!
-Can charge his punches with electricity to increase their strength, and can even electrify his own sports equipment
-Not too farfetched that he could preform electrical versions of some of Mario’s flame techniques

-Can even use the Thunderhand underwater without electrocuting himself!

Weapons and Equipment:


Plumbing Equipment:
-Still exactly what it says in the tin
-Can unclog toilets, fix pipes, regular plumber stuff
-Can open up sealed off Warp Pipes
-Can create or fix leaks/floods
-Usable to modify an irrigation system to his advantage
-Can be used as battering items
-Most notable, however, are his nunchunks made from two small pipes
-Which are quite viable as battering items
14741263795511 by MetaWeegee
Ultra Hammer:
-Upgraded from the Super Hammer
-Made by the Hammerhead Bros
-Luigi’s weapon of choice in hand-to-hand aside from his fists
-Can smash black rocks, which are normally indestructible
-Can revert Mario, Prince Peasly, and others to a miniature form, and can reverse it by crushing them again
-Can also destroy a 2 million ton castle with just a few swings
-Can be used for offense as well as defense
-If it gets destroyed, Luigi will just put the hammerhead back on the handle
-Normally ineffective against flying foes, however

Green Shell:
-Just a regular Green Koopa’s shell
-Can be kicked at enemies
-No homing effect like Mario’s Red Shell, instead hitting random foes
-Pretty sub-par strength


SpinDrill by MetaWeegee
Spin Drill:
-A drill Luigi carries above his head
-Can be used to drill through planets and dirt
-Can find secret areas
-Of course, enemies will get killed by the drill
-Cannot drill through hard or metal surfaces


Devolution Gun:
-A gun that resembles a spray-painted Super Scope
-Once fired, makes whoever it hits evolve backwards
-For instance, humans will turn into gorillas, and people like President Koopa will revert to T-Rexes
-It can even go back further and turn the target into primitive ooze
-Hell, could presumably go back even further and revert them to NOTHING AT ALL…. which is actually really horrifying
-Strong enough fungus can block the shots, however

200px-LMDM-Poltergust 5000 Artwork by MetaWeegee
Poltergust 5000
-Upgraded from the Poltergust 4000 (yes, it really does exist)
-Made by Professor E. Gadd
-Seems to be Luigi’s counterpart to Mario’s F.L.U.D.D.
-Can pull ghosts (or objects, or people) towards it with the vacuum function, even being able to pull in gold bricks half as large as Luigi himself
-Can pull in up to seven people in one go at full power

– Luigi can use the Poltergust 5000 to suck up non-ghost enemies 
— Accidentally sucked up Toad
-Suction power can match that of a tornado
-If Luigi sucks up a ghost, then after sucking in their opposite direction of said ghost’s running direction for an amount of time, he can activate a Power Surge, allowing him to deal even more damage
-Currently upgraded to the Super Poltergust, making it stronger and damaging foes more rapidly
-Can also push objects away from Luigi and expel people out of it
-Has a flashlight attached to it, which, aside from doing basic flashlight shit, has two upgrades:
Strobulb: After charging up this device, Luigi flashes anyone within it’s (pretty big) radius, briefly stunning them. It can be charged to increase the blast range.
Dark Light Device: In a manner similar to an ultraviolet lamp, Luigi can reveal invisible objects via flashing said object with the Dark-Light Device, after which Luigi must suck up several Spirit Balls to completely reveal them. It can also remove curses on anybody it flashes and free people from paintings. However, if used for too long, the Poltergust 5000 will overheat.
-Also has three elemental medals, each of which allow Weegee to do several different things;

Fire Element Medal: After sucking up a Fire Element Ghost, allows Luigi to shoot out flames like a fucking flamethrower! Can burn opponents, of course, and light up torches, as well as reveal a Flash’s heart.
Ice Element Medal: Right after sucking up an Ice Element Ghost, the Poltergust shoots out ice, which can freeze water, foes, and reveal a Blue Blaze’s heart.
Water Element Medal: After sucking up a Water Element Ghost, the Poltergust shoots out water, which can reveal a Tempor Terror’s heart, water plants, and do other water crap.
-Though all of said Elements have finite ammo

-Worth noting that Luigi was able to destroy half of a large boulder-sized moon via sucking up a falling star and shooting it back

N64 Controller
-A classic Nintendo 64 controller
-Can be used to control the main character of a video game
    -In the case of the manga, Mario since they were in Super Mario 64
-Can also directly control people by some how plugging directly into people
    –Doing so also gives them an electric shock which can cause them some pain/stun them
-Took control of Mario, and ultimately helped him take down Bowser

Mole Gloves:
-Increase Luigi’s digging ability and allow him to borrow/tunnel underground MUCH faster than usual
    -Can also easily tear through metal/underground pipes

LuigiBadges by DoctorMooDB
Badges:
-Luigi was able to make use of several badges to fight off a bunch of mind controlled Goombas from interfering with Mario’s fight with the Shadow Queen
-One of the badges is a fart badge… 
-One of the badges is the “Last Stand” badge, which the user’s HP gets too low, they will only receive half the damage (rounded up)
-Finally he has the “Mario Emblem” which gives him the colors of Mario as well as Mario’s strength and courage

LuigiSwitchPad by DoctorMooDB
Wii U Gamepad:
-Luigi is also able to use the Wii U gamepad
-In his case, he uses it to customize the environment and all the enemies in it just like “Super Mario Maker”
-This includes adding spike traps, lava, harder to reach platforms, giant enemies stacked, enemies stacked up on each other, ect
-He seems to be able to create strange enemy variants not founds in the games

180px-GoombaShoeMarioSpinyOriginal by MetaWeegee
Goomba’s Shoe:
-Also known as Kurbio’s Shoe
-Can be attained by asking its host nicely to get out (yeah, I wish)
-After killing its driver, Luigi can drive around with an immunity to spikes
-Can even walk on enemies like Thwomps
-Still has access to power-ups
-However, he loses it after enough hits

Ice-Skate:
-Aside from being yet another example of creative naming, is gained in the same way as the Goomba Shoe
-Once you enter the Ice Skate, you gain greater mobility on the ice
-You can also turn easier on the ice
-Immunity to certain spikes
-However, cannot stop, and if you bounce into a Walleye or a wall, the skate will vanish

Goomba By Doctorworm1987-d9jh05x by MetaWeegee

Goomba Mask:
-Makes Weegee look like his bro’s weakest enemy, which actually let’s him blend in to some (but not all) enemies
-Undetected by enemy spotlights
-Gives Luigi protection on the head
-Will lose it upon contact with a foe

NegativeZone by MetaWeegee

Negative Zone:
-A bizarre as HELL ability that he apparently gained from being in Mario’s shadow for so long
-Once initiated, a huge void with a greenish tint appears that sticks around for 17 seconds that has a variety of effects on the opponent, which include:
   -Drastically reduces opponent’s strength
   -Greatly lowers an opponent’s durability, which allows Luigi to use many of his attacks (particularly the Fire Jump Punch, which can potentially OHKO in the Zone) to great effect
   -Increased chance of tripping
   -Causes flower growth on the opponent’s head, which rapidly deals damage as long as it remains
   -Stuns opponents, rendering them dizzy and unable to move for a few seconds. On aerial foes, it pulls them to the ground, and they are completely unable to do anything until they land (after which they proceed to get stunned)
   -Uncontrollable taunting
   -Putting opponents to sleep
   -Can slow down opponents
-Invincibility does not prevent any of the effects from happening
-Luigi himself is unaffected save for a minor speed decrease
-However, in rare cases, the opponent won’t be affected at all
-At the start of the move, Luigi dances… quite weirdly, for a few seconds, during which time he cannot move, but he cannot be hit either; after the dance, he’s free to pummel his foe
-The effects still linger for a while after the zone dissipates

225px-Luigivortexstrike by MetaWeegee

Super Strike: Vicious Vortex:
-Preformed by kicking a soccer ball into the air
-Upon doing so, Luigi enters a karate pose and ferociously kicks the ball
-Quite powerful
-Of course, difficult to defend against


Luigi-s-Megastrike-Gif-luigi-37748328-365-291 by MetaWeegee
Mega Strike: Thunder Luigi:
-After kicking the ball in the air, uses his Thunderhand to charge up electricity (and look fucking badass!)
-Can powerfully hit a soccer ball so hard, it splits into six
-Simply a bitch to defend against
-Speed and number of times the ball is split can be determined by when he kicks it into the air

Broom by Doctorworm1987
Giga Broom:
Apparent reality warping abilities.. (skip to 3:15-3:18)
-In case you missed it,  he WIPES her castle out of existence
-Near lack of skill USING it, though

Hqdefault by MetaWeegee
Weaknesses:
-Just…. this ungodly beast up above. Just… no.
-A complete and utter coward, being scared of ghosts, koopas, goombas, his shadow, the sun, air, just about ANYTHING, basically
  -However, this can also serve as an advantage, as it usually makes Luigi more cautious about danger
  -Has also been able to overcome his fears
-Loses many of his powerups after taking hard punishment
-Very clumsy
-Not quite as experienced as Mario
-Has quite a bit of a problem with traction, sliding pretty far after coming to a stop
  -Cannot stop or corner as well as his bro

-Has been captured a few times (but not as much as Mario has been)
-If he loses his cap, his durability is reduced by half and his strength also suffers
-Has been overshadowed and left behind TOO. DAMN. LONG.
  -As such, has a slight inferiority complex
  -Also seems to have jealousy, and possibly even some anger and hatred for his bro

(“Oh yeah! Who’s number one now?! Luigi!”)
