Villager

This is one of Luigi’s weaker positions. Luigi has decent but not great ledge options, but our ledge trap options completely shut down Luigi’s ledge options. Make use of Tree to cover ledge jump, attack, and neutral getup, and you punish ledge roll yourself using your choice of Bowling Ball (Low Risk, High Reward, but committal), Axe (Fast, can B-Reverse to cut Tree or cover Ledge roll but won’t kill as early as Bowling Ball), or Up Tilt (Covers Ledge roll extremely well, however doesn’t kill until higher percents). [IMPORTANT] when Ledge trapping with Tree, POSITION IT!!! If you plant tree too close to the lip of the ledge the opponent will be able to ledge attack and neutral getup out of it easier, if you plant it too far from the lip of the ledge the opponent will be able to ledge jump out of it easier. Since being at ledge can be enough to force a panic option out of Luigi at ledge, it isn’t a bad idea to start punishing those without Tree if it’s too late to plant one. I.E. punishing neutral getup with Bowling Ball, Ledge roll with Up Smash, or ledge jump with Back Air/Up Air.
