Was Luigi made to be a joke?

After I obtained Luigi it really seems like he was made more for the humor of the game developers than anything else. His final smash makes no sense at all and his upb now causes him to float to the ground and bump his head, leaving him wide open, as if he is now considered pathetic. I just wanted to know everyone else's opinion on him because in my opinion he seems like he is very lacking for a super smash brothers character.

I feel the same way, I'm not dissapointed as I never use him, but still he used to be cool, now he's well on crack it seem's.

yea i think they took luigi's character too far,its a slap in the face really,but he's still fun to play as

i always hated luigi anyway, the should've dumped him and gotten waluigi, or birdo or something.

Luigi is supposed to be a mindless ****** :p Thats why he's like that, they've tried to make him as stupid as possible i think .

NO BIMBO

i think its great they made him funny. I think heres there to remind every one that the games supposed to be fun and Luigi brings back the fun in a very serious game. But thats just my opinon

Well I'm pretty good woth luigi ya know... Well his final smash is the equixvalent of Meta knights with greater range. For if you use Luigi's final smash and up b them it is a single hit knock out.
