Talk:Luigi vs War Machine/@comment-34698576-20180514165055/@comment-28510457-20190521154105

Luigi is able to go head to head with SMG Bowser, who can create a galaxy and was capable of surviving being thrown into the sun. He almost completely scales to Mario, who can battle near-universe-level threats like Culex and Dreamy Bowser, and who frequently survives being shocked, burned, frozen, smashed, thrown to the ground from nearly star level heights, being on the moon with no helmet or protective clothing of any kind, etc. Luigi is proven and stated to be canonically faster and more athletic than Mario, who can move efficiently as a bolt of electricity. He can handle holding pure electricity in his hands, which can short-circuit War Machine completely. Luigi can also reform after being crushed, can expand his body near-indefinitely via the Picnic move in Mario Superstar Saga, can survive being blasted by Bowser's fire, and has, time and time again, overpowered the Koopa King and all of his minions. I can see why War Machine would give him trouble, but keep in mind, it's not like Luigi hasn't seen energy blasts or robots before, and he can easily react to them, as well as any close range stuff Rhodes has to offer. I think the Green Thunder takes this in what can only be described as a murderstomp.
