Final Smash - Negative Zone:
Creates a large negative bubble around Luigi that encompasses the field (more or less). Any opponents caught therein will suffer various status effects, including flowers on their heads, sleep, and loss of control. They will constantly suffer damage while within the bubble. After Luigi finishes his dance, quickly run over and do Super Jump Punch on each enemy before the bubble disappears. If you can pull this off, it's pretty much guaranteed KOs.

Strategy:
Luigi has a variety of strange moves that can keep your opponents guessing. The Green Missile is prone to misfires, so don't use that near the edge. Otherwise, use the cyclone and his rather fast smash attacks to build damage, and finish them with a Super Jump Punch.

Defense strategy:
On defense, watch for his fireballs and dodge when he gets in close to get behind him. His attacks don't leave him very open, and he can turn quickly, his Super Jump Punch also has him covered from the air. Overall, hail him with projectiles and use attacks that have a moderate range when you approach him.

From SuperCheats.com Forum:

Here are some extra comments from the members of our forums for Luigi...

Mario's taller, thinner, cowardly brother once again returns for a fight. While Luigi initially seems similar to older brother Mario, their differances are actually bigger than first thought. Luigi is a faster character who has his own signature move called the Green Missile. His somewhat cowardly fighting style makes him unique and a bit of a comical character.

How to unlock: Play 22 brawls, then challenge him; complete classic without using any continues, then challenge him; get him to join your team in the Subspace Emissary.

Special moves

Final Smash: Negative Zone. Luigi dances around, creating a giant bubble known as the Negative Zone. Inside this colour-reversed bubble, all opponents are struck with many status effects at once, including decreased attack, speed, traction and weight, dizzyness, sleep, flowers growing on their heads, constant health drain and uncontrollable taunting. All this makes opponents essentially an easy target for Luigi.
