Luigi Figure 1.0.0

A lot better than it looks!

Now I love unorthodox MUGEN creations, and Luigi Figure certainly fits the bill. A character made entirely out of photos taken of a toy fits in perfectly with what you'd expect to find in MUGEN. Even though Luigi Figure doesn't bring anything new to the table, the concept behind it all helps him stay fresh. Unfortunately, the concept's probably the highlight.

When it comes to gameplay, he's a little janky. While he functions like a normal chain combo character, he can chain every normal into itself, which makes for some weird combos. For example, standing medium punch in the corner over and over again = half of the opponent's life gone. His specials aren't as weird, but they do have some odd commands, such as QCB+P being the fireball move. That said, his specials are just MUGEN adaptations of Luigi's normal Smash moves which is a little disappointing, but not a deal-breaker in any way. Luigi's hypers are more creative, but not by much: two of them are just powered-up versions of his specials. I will admit that the last one, the "Super Vacuum", is pretty funny and caught me off guard. Luigi can't be punished at all during it though, which combined with the massive range makes it the most powerful out of all his hypers, leaving little reason for the other two to be used. Overall this is where I see the most room for improvement.

Luigi isn't what I'd call a buggy character, though what bugs he does have are definitely noticeable. Examples include the weird normal chaining system, his launcher and dash attack being infinites on block, and some missing hitboxes here and there, like during his roll. They do help give this particular Luigi a certain vibe to him though, which is only backed up by just how strange of an idea this is.

Bugs aside, this Luigi is definitely a unique one. It's the type of character that would intrude my brain every couple of years. I can just picture it now-I'd probably be walking down the street or something, only to get interrupted by my brain asking myself if I remember that one action figure Luigi character. If you love weird MUGEN characters like I do, you'll probably enjoy Luigi Figure. Even regular Mario fans might want to try him out for a bit, because all in all it's certainly not a bad Luigi.

Fun Factor - 4/5
Gameplay - 2.5/5
Functionality - 3/5

Overall - 3/5

Surprisingly good! Great AI and impressive sprites especially when you consider it's made using an action figure!
