Luigi gets DK to 70 off one grab at 0, sweetspot upb's, and then the stock continues for DK at 80. Other characters, such as Pichu, Megaman, or Fox, get DK to 80 for free, and have more consistent options against DK at that %. It's a lot harder for Luigi to offensively approach, as DK outspaces Luigi with his bair and equal air speed. Ground speed doesn't matter since Luigi has nothing on the ground compared to DK's dash attack, which both clang at the very best. Both have an equal neutral at best, but DK gets more off his punishes at various % ranges compared to Luigi. DK at 125 is harder to kill than Luigi at 125; bair, uair, and cargo f-throw off stage at ledge being consistent kill options for DK.
