Vacuum Luigi

Equipped with E. Gadd’s technology, Luigi heads back into the mansion to clear out all the ghosts and rescue his brother.

Rather than rely on his usual tricks and power-ups, Luigi makes use of the Poltergust 3000, which allows him to suck up ghosts and fire elemental blasts. In later games, E. Gadd would also supply him with a flashlight capable of more easily stunning his opponents, and a shapeshifting goo that would take his form and allow him to be in two places at once.

In game, Luigi’s vacuum form will be slower and heavier than his normal form, with weaker aerials, but he will make up for that with strong close-range combat abilities and the ability to keep his opponents close. His moves will pull from all over the Luigi’s Mansion series, and make use of all of E. Gadd’s gadgets.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we begin tackling the Mario RPGs, starting with Super Mario RPG and all five current Paper Marios. No, I'm not scared. You're scared. Shut up! It's not going to be like opening the floodgates and letting the deluge spew forth, no.

Also the fact that Nintendo specifically revealed a new Paper Mario to come out after I've covered this section and (probably) while I'm in the middle of the possibly million character sheets makes me feel a little attacked personally.

2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, let's begin our batch of newcomers. Luigi's Mansion is a very unique franchise within the Mario universe. It places Luigi as a quasi-ghostbuster, working his way through a haunted house and using a vacuum to suck up ghosts. Now this is a very unique mechanic from Luigi's normal appearances and it is only fitting that an entirely separate moveset making use of this gimmick be created.

First of all, we must deal with the vacuum, Luigi's main weapon. It's core mechanic is to suck in enemies, though it can also be used to fire elemental attacks including fire, water, and ice. It can also blow out, used in one game to inflate a balloon to carry Luigi upward, and in another game to blow down and launch Luigi into the air. In later games, after he has caught the ghost in question, he can also slam them against the ground to weaken them. He is also armed with a flashlight that he can use to flash and stun his enemies, and in Luigi's Mansion 3, he gains the ability to use an ectoplasmic clone of himself to traverse areas he can't reach himself. All of these things make for an interesting unique moveset.

Here is the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Suction
Luigi will suck hard with his vacuum. Once a character is caught, he can either play it straight and suck them in before they pop out a few seconds later, or the player can press hard in the opposite direction and he will slam the character hard into the ground.

Side B: Flashbulb
Luigi will flash his flashlight, stunning any opponent caught in the beam.

Up B: Balloon OR Backfire
Either one of these work fine and I couldn't quite pick between them. Balloon will see him inflate the balloon from Dark Moon that will carry him high into the air. Backfire will burst air below Luigi and launch him upward a shorter distance.

Down B: Gooigi
Luigi will spawn a Gooigi who will walk around in front of him, mimicking his attacks and taking his hits for him with minimal damage. Down B will also call Gooigi back or he may be dissolved by watery attacks, making FLUDD Mario a sort of natural enemy to him.

Final Smash: Super Suction
So this one will function very similarly to his current Final Smash in the game, and also draws inspiration from the move in LM3. His vacuum will suck up all opponents around the stage and pop them all out toward the stage boundaries.

Entrance: He will be transported via E. Gadd's machine from Dark Moon.

Taunts: He will call out Mario, he will flicker his flashlight, he will check his Game Boy Horror (or one of the other devices).

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover his echo fighter, Professor Elvin Gadd.
