In SSBM, Luigi is
not better than Mario. Here's why:
Comparing B attacks, Luigi's fireball can be used for hitting someone on the other side of a gap in the stage, but not good for hitting someone on the floor below you. For Smash B attacks, Mario's Cape does not do much if you slap someone with it but it's good for reflecting projectiles. Luigi's Smash B attack causes more damage, but has a higher suicide rate. Mario's Up B attack does not need perfect timing to do considerable damage but does not do much damage at full power compared to Luigi's Up B at full power. Luigi's Down B move damages more than Mario's move, but it can only hit once and once the opponent recovers and Luigi's still spinning, it leaves him wide open for an attack. Mario's Down B move does not do as much damage, but it traps the opponent in Mario's fists and throws the opponent in the air unavailable to counter-attack, meaning Mario can hit the opponent again. For A moves, they are basically the same, but in the A attacks they have that are different, Luigi's are not as convienient for strategy as Mario's, but Luigi makes up for it with a better jump.
And so, the moral of the story is:
In SSBM, Luigi is
not better than Mario!
