Science tells us women find men with a longer stride more physically appealing.
Mario has shorter legs than Luigi.

Science tells us that Luigi would find greater success with Princess Peach than Mario.

Yay Science!

I always preferred Luigi to Mario…

So Luigi gets laid here. haha!

Guys, this is a fight to determine who gets peach, not some sort of retarded dating show.

Hurrah for balanced character, with neither having an advantage.

Luigi has Daisy, so he doesn’t need Peach.

Either way, I have to give it to Luigi. He jumps higher, he’s taller, his side B attack is a little more useful then Mario’s, and honestly for being in the Shadow of Mario for so long, he really hungers for attention more then Mario.

He’s been made a joke for far too long, time for Luigi to make a stand!

Oh yeah also:

@AkumaTh Slanderous filth most assuredly created by Wario.

Bob Hoskins would wreck John Leguizamo in a fight, so by extension Mario even further wins this

Couldn’t say.

For a moment though let’s humor the theory.

Even if Mario is a hopeless gratification seeker from Peach, even if he is that pathetic. Guess who he’s been keeping in his shadow. What’s that say about Luigi?

That’s like a cockroach mounting & dominating a single termite.

Suckle Luigi, muahahaha.

Doesn’t change much, even if Luigi did intentionally not take part in various adventures he’s still less successful than Mario

That is, if you want to play by that article.

Why would they fight over Peach? MarioxPeach and LuigixDaisy is how things work in the Mario Universe.

I give my initial support to Mario, as he is after all the iconic character that started the whole franchise and one of the biggest names in all of gaming. And I find him less annoying than Luigi.

@ AkumaTh

Dunno about statue, but mayhaps Mario should high five whoever did this for him

oh yeah, that’s a planet.

I bet on some cloudless nights when the planets are in perfect alignment, Luigi’s statue briefly sits in the shadow of that Mario planet.

Technically it says ‘perhaps’ to get peach, but that isn’t really the official setup or reward. Also you’re forgetting the opening of Mario Sunshine, Peach and Mario with no Luigi go on a lush vacation to a tropical resort. I can’t say what they were going to be doing all night, but they brought mushrooms with them.

Isn’t alternate character interpritation fun?

Toadsworth is a glorified manservant or butler, that just shows Peach is spoiled.

I bet Mario was gonna bring Luigi some sunglasses, or some tropical statue polisher.

Muahahaha

Was it Luigi? Or was it someone who wanted to continue playing the damsel in distress? If anything, he was probably having a similar vacation that was uneventful with the other Princess.

I doubt it’s jealousy considering Luigi got a Princess who’s giving him gifts for simply dating her while Mario only gets a Kiss and a cake at most for all his hard work.

And if Bowser is so devious and cunning, why built a bridge over a lava pit? Or easily breakable bridge to jump on? Or anything else mentioned here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/340854

This is all about the Peach.

A resort vacation that got him framed for a crime he didn’t commit and was put into grafiti clean up. Oh yeah, that’s something to be jealous about.

Also of course he’s in Mario’s shadow, for all the stuff Daisy and Luigi are doing it’s not really appropriate out in the opening.

Was it really Mario? Or was it Luigi in disguised? After all, some people refer to him as “The Green Reaper”.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5hVRT0VbBw

er, Luigi**

Was what Luigi in disguise*

No that’s Mario owning Bowser, putting Peach in her place and putting Luigi down in one big win

Peach is a jerkass, we get it.

And yes, that video I posted was ‘really’ Mario doing all of those things I mentioned in #39

But getting serious because we’re flooding the side with all this, OriginalA in post #16 is the reason I believe Luigi would win. The brothers can do everything the other can and at a few instances, Luigi has done some of them better then Mario.

Since this is a fight and not a popularity contest, Luigi does have an advantage in height, reach and jumping ability. And in Smash Brothers, his Up B is superior to Mario’s and his Down B can go much farther then Mario’s. Too boot, his green flame can go straight which means after jumping he can shoot over a pipe, something Mario can’t.

Luigi has a lot of advantages not shown much.

Firstly both of them deal with giants and planet-sized monsters so citing height is futile. As to the moves and stuff from Super Smash Bros. Brawl is once more speculation, to the person that top charts as Mario, they will disagree, and Luigi heavy players will support the statement, in Brawl that is.

But this is about the mario universe as a whole, which Mario has saved and what not more often than Luigi.

So beyond speculation or gameplay preference, Mario still technically leads.

They do fight Giants and Planet Sized monsters, but usually their weakness balanced that out. For Bowser, his own weight and stupid plans (let’s throw Mecha-Koopas at him/But a button or an Axe across the Bridge/Etc). For Wart, a machine that produces vegetables, his weakness. For the Shadow Queen, Spirit Bomb type comeback. Petey, Mario had a water gun. The King Boo, Luigi threw those spiked balls at him. Every one of their previous opponents had a weakness that could be exploited.

For this, your opponent’s weakness is the same as your own. So any minor differences can be a big factor. And since you like to say about Miyamoto, he even agree Luigi has a higher jump as seen in the original Super Mario Brothers 2 (USA as Lost Levels).

@AkumaTh

I didn’t say Luigi can’t jump higher, I said he had a height advantage.

But saying “He can jump higher so therefore beat Mario” is still speculation. Mario has done more and bested more fighters than Luigi.

I’m not saying this means he can beat Luigi either, mind you. It truthfully deserved the draw treatment. But again, if you’re adamant on crowning a winner, Mario has more stars in his corner.

Right, and Luigi isn’t some faceless thing with no weaknesses and flaws. Neither is Mario. But on those lines, Mario technically does have more physical experience than Luigi, the situation of “Luigi jumps up, Mario tries to follow but since he can’t jump as high gets his head stomped on” goes off of setup of which Luigi already has an advantage. That’s speculation.

In fact the only real use of Luigi’s extra jumping is if he makes his move before Mario does.

These situations aside, technically Mario has more experience at physical confrontations which is why it’s more logical to side with Mario.

Mario is said to be more impulsive than Luigi. Now, in a different environment this could be used against him since he’d be jumping into something potentially unknown. But not against his own brother.

Luigi is frequently portrayed as a coward and the like, and again is against someone that knows this. Scaring a coward is more simple than baiting a reckless fighter, especially when the fighter knows what you are and aren’t capable of.

But in some small sense all of this information is just going to be used as counters or filed under speculation itself.

However the only certainties for Mario and Luigi is:

Mario is more experienced in combat.

Luigi can jump higher.

Weighing those two, I still keep Mario in the lead.

And this is just base-fighting.

If items are involved in this, flying hats, fireballs, etc. Then the experience is going to outweigh the extra foot Luigi can jump.

No, Mario has had ‘more’ experiences. Both of them have done similar stunts sure, Mario has just done them more often than Luigi.

And Mario has saved the entire Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi included, more than his brother as well.

So in that sense it wouldn’t be down to “Luigi can jump a foot higher”

Mario – More Experience

Luigi – Jumps higher

Those are the certainties, you can choose which one to stake the fight on, I just happen to think it’s experience, of which Mario has more.

Something tells me Luigi would unleash all years of hate upon his more successful sibling were he given the chance…

Everyone needs to understand something, although Mario has gone off on more adventures without Luigi than Luigi has without Mario they both are shown, repeatedly, to be of equal skill. All that means is that Mario gets a bigger item pool to select from. However Luigi still has, more often than nought, a direct counter part to this despite not going on that same adventure.

Someone pointed out that I was wrong to point out the differances between Fire Glove and Thunder Glove; I wasn’t. Fire Glove is a glorified Fire Flower, and Luigi HAS Fire Flower which means that for the most part Luigi has a limited access abilities very similar to the Fire Glove. The Thunder Glove is purely unique. Mechanically it is identical to the Fire Glove, but the very fact that it is Lightning, of which there is no other electric power up in Mario U anyway like this, makes this an advantage that Mario cannot reproduce.

I have thought of something else though. In SMRPG, Mario gained the Lazy Shell Armor. This armor reduced damage to 1 hp per hit and nulled every status effect in the game including instant death. To say the least this is very powerful armor. Luigi doesn’t have something direclty comparable to this. The closest he has is the 100-points pants, which Mario also has access to. This means that with the Lazy Shell Armor and similar stats Mario can just purely sustain more damage than Luigi and outlast him in a slug fest.

If you really give them everything they have though then Luigi wins. He had the Chaos Hearts and that made him invulnerable. Now Mario did have the Pure Hearts, but it was only once Peach wished that Mario be able to win were the Pure Hearts able to fully contend with the Chaos Hearts; this means that in a nuetral battle where Peach cannot interfere the Chaos Hearts with overpower the Pure Hearts and thus Luigi will win over Mario.

I see this match like this:
No equipment: Draw
Any, some, most equipment: Mario
WTFPWN Equipment: Luigi

@OriginalA

What exactly does the Chaos heart enable Luigi to do that would clench this, from the looks of it it wasn’t used by him in the games, only used when he was melded with someone else.

Why does that constitute a win, he was beaten as Mr. L and he was beaten when fused with final boss guy

Plus Mario can have any item he wants so just because jumping on his head wouldn’t kill Luigi with the dark business, why does that put Mario out of the fight completely?

I vote Luigi!!…..Sorry Mario.

The Pure Hearts are a lot more difficult to get then the Chaos Heart. True love and all that.

But if we put items in play outside the Hearts, then I would have to give it to Mario for the Lazy Shell armor. Even though I am more of a fan for Luigi.

I’m saying the Chaos Heart is all gone and vanguished, ‘destroyed’ the Pure Hearts aren’t.

So in that sense, the chaos heart would be technically harder to obtain since it no longer exist in the Mario universe as opposed to the other hearts (unless they were consumed when they destroyed it) in any case it’s not much of an issue.

I was countering his “hard to get” bit about the pure hearts.

If they both just get them, then they’re countered anyway, the pure hearts and chaos heart that is.

@OriginalA

It would only take outside help to ‘restore’ the hearts after they were shattered. But it only took a display of ‘true love’ to activate them and destroy the chaos heart.

So it’s still a valid counter concerning Pure Hearts vs. Chaos Heart

Also, since we’re going out of canon and the like by simply having any/all equipment available, there is no stipulation (to my recollection) that Mario can’t use the chaos heart.

Luigi would have more magnified powers under it’s influence, but it still makes the host invulnerable.

I just found the thing that can give Luigi the victory of this match: The Weegee stare.”
But this is not Weegee vs Mario.

If it was, all the chaos hearts and and purity hearts could not save Mario from the Weegee Stare!
Weegee is a different character with Luigi, as is Mama Luigi and Gay Luigi.

ALL DIFFERENT CHARACTERS I TELL YA!

real mario and peach
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AinyYfDdVYI

well what can i say? they both r fags.

I go for Mario he’s depicted as physically stronger than Luigi(Super Mario 64 DS for example), Luigi is afraid of Mario(look at Luigi shaking in fear when Mario gets mad at him in Bowser’s Inside Story) and Luigi has never had access to the Stopwatches right? those stop time so overkill coming from Mario since the Chaos hearts are gone.
