Talk:Mario VS Luigi/@comment-33952388-20181229122740/@comment-33952388-20181230085157

Well, actually Mario's biggest durability feat was surviving a black hole in one of the Galaxy games, a game which lets you replay the story mode with Luigi, their durability is actually a tie.

However, their strength is up to debate. In many of the sports games, Luigi has less drive, less power, less strength but this isn't by a lot. In the main series of games Luigi has been playable in, he has the exact same strength as Mario, even if Luigi IS weaker than Mario, he's still incredibly freaking powerful, he lifted the same castle that Mario did, he was also in that same explosion in Mario Power Tennis than Mario was.

Mario's Cappy and F.L.U.D.D seem like they can give him the win, but since I'm not smart enough to calculate the pressure the FLUDD has I can't say for sure how powerful it is, but if Luigi ends up destroying it, it's gone. Luigi has like 4 or 5 Poltergusts, we have the three main ones, the 4000 car model, and that rocket one. Luigi can turn invisible and intangible using the Power Flower, (I know they can both use the Power Flower, but they both gain different abilities from it.) while Mario turns into a balloon. Luigi's Precision has longer range and more damage than Mario's Blaster, and his Sentry has more range than Mario's Melee. The Poltergust 5000 has a Strobulb that can momentarily blind Mario, the same vacuum that can suck up people. His G-00 model has the Strobulb AND a plunger.

Cappy seems like a viable option for killing Luigi, but not only is Luigi wearing a hat (which as you know in Mario Odyssey, will stop Cappy capturing opponents). Luigi can also suck up Cappy with the Poltergust, and the thing cannot be opened, and if Mario blows up the Poltergust to try and release Cappy, he will blow up Cappy, too. In Mario Odyssey, you cannot capture Piranha Plants because they will eat Cappy and he will not be freed until Mario kills the plant.

Luigi is also smarter than Mario, faster and more athletic, having the best jumping ability in the Mushroom Kingdom (Except maybe Waluigi). His arms are also longer, giving Mario more range, electricity is also faster than fire, both of which Luigi can control (Well, to an extent, with fire).

Keep in mind this is only a friendly debate and I respect your opinion, I am not 'salty' or angry, I am simply stating why I think Luigi would win.
