Well, it's obvious that I meant to say that. X_X

I think it may have started before SSB, because in the Mario cartoons, whenever he was afraid he would say timidly "Ma-ma-ma-mario!"

I don't think Luigi is a coward. A coward is one whom never takes risks. Luigi takes a risk in Luigi's Mansion, doesn't he?

He's right! A coward is one who turns tail in the face of fear. Luigi keeps on trucking even when he's scared out of his mind.

[Flame war deleted] Aarom, that response was quite unneeded, in my mind.
yoshimastar, your reply was unsustained, and also unecessary. Enough.

TEM brings up an interesting point, in my mind. I think that Luigi, in Nintendo's current build of his personality, is moreso shoved into these situations in ways he can't control, instead of voluntarily plugging on despite being freaked out.

And truly, is a person who plunges (punnage unintentional) themselves into danger without a hint of concern for themselves really seen as superior to someone who does show concern for themselves? The answer is no. The concerned person is obviously either smarter or more human, both of which makes a fictional character more interesting, to me, anyways.

I more highly regard the person who does the right thing despite being afraid than the person who does the right thing without fear.

... In that case, I'd like to stand up to the mod who deleted Aarom's post. It was rather overbearing to delete such a harmless post; perhaps you read it with the wrong voice. Next time, read it with the happy voice.

In addition to being a coward, I don't like how Luigi is constantly associated with vacuums. It sucks.

Yes, but it generated a negative response from Yoshimastar, meaning that it would seem unfair if only Yoshimastar's post was deleted, but not Aarom's. It would look bad.

Oh, and rotlfmao to DeadAwake's last comment.

Really? I associate Luigi with a punching bag, considering he's been one since Superstar Saga. He's like The Hurricane of the Mario universe.

Wait....Could it be mere coincidence that both had green as their primary colors?

In my opinion, Luigi thrown into crazy situations are much more funner then Mario doing something he wants. Ok, compare Luigi's Mansion to Super Mario Sunshine. The whole concept is much funner on LM then on SMS because, really, playing a reluctlant coward is more of a challenge than a heroeic hero. The challenge is too play carefully and try to make the coward a hero, and when accomplished, feels much more better then winning another game with the same heroic characters.

I must admit that Luigi is changing really fast, but I think of it as a kind of good thing. Although the oddness of his moves in SSBM was unnerving, he seems more like a playable character than a #2. Plus, call him names and he'll kill you with his fire punch!

Do you know what bravery is? It's when you face your fears to do what you feel is right. Luigi risked his life in a haunted mansion to save his brother despite that fact that he was terrified. With that in mind, he's one of the bravest video game characters I know of.

Now a coward is one that runs away from their fears.

"People who are fearless are simply fearless. Those who act in spite of their fears are truely brave."- (.....I don't remember who said it.)

Sounds like something Gandalf would say to Frodo.

I don't think Luigi's a coward. He's a NITWIT, but certainly not a coward!
A real coward would abandon his loving brother all together to a group of ghosts and could never free him! (Luigi's Mansion)
A real coward would abandon his loving brother all together when he feels too stiff about the rumours he hears of a monster that eats people, even when that monster holds the vital item to cure the coward's brother from his illness! (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)

Luigi is a big, fat idiot, who doesn't how brave he really is. All the scary things he thinks about is only scary in his mind!
Luigi can be quite a clutz - very clumsy indeed! Luigi may be tend to be pessimistic about the situations, his whereabouts, and even the adventure as a whole. Luigi may not recognise things clearly until he looks at it thrice. Luigi may claim very unlogical assumptions. Luigi may try to loaf around during the worst of times. Luigi may tend to cry a lot. Luigi may even say the worst of jokes. Then Luigi can certainly not know how brave he really is most of the time!

Luigi can obviously show he's a very scared person, but that does not mean that it makes him in any way a coward!
Despite his moronity, it is his very bravery which makes him the best sidekick a big brother could have!
Well, he's not perfect, but still a good sidekick...

Let's say Luigi is more of the Fun Side of the Brothers!
