Talk:Mario VS Luigi/@comment-27921095-20191221041809

Unfortunately, I gotta side with Mario due to experience, skill, a bigger arsenal, and a very slight strength advantage. In the RPGs, he also tends to have more Stache points which is kind of a form of luck.

Though the Poltergust G-00 is really handy. It can suck up LARGE quantities of items inside of it, can definitely lift things of Mario's size and effect them, can redirect attacks and dispel attacks via the little air dispenser and the gust, can disarm people, can help make intangible/invisible things visible and corporeal again, can blind others and daze them, and can spawn Gooigi who's actually immortal and can regenerate almost instantly by the LM3 ending cutscene where it splatters on the ground but just pops back into existence again. He can also shoot plungers and can then slam some pretty heavy objects with this.

Luigi can definitely pose a problem given the Poltergust can counter a lot of his projectiles and he can easily avoid confrontation and catch Mario by surprise sometimes. Gooigi is also a problem for Mario, but abilities like freezing Gooigi would keep it out of commission and also the mop erasing, although Luigi also has that. So Luigi ultimately has the better clones/duplication options and is a better defensive player I think.

But Mario's better arsenal and experience are just too damning IMO.
