No, really. And short hops.

Example: Luigi does a SH-F. air, backwards WD to edgehog.

If you play a luigi without wavedashing you must truly suck.

There's no other way that can even come close to the effectiveness of wavedashing in terms of speed and control of movement with luigi, as well as outsmarting your opponent and starting and continuing combos.
You are not a worthy Luigi player ...

Anyone can do just fine without wavedashing. Some people are better with it and some are better without. Quit acting like you know what you're talking about.

I'm telling you, I do great without the wave dash. All you need to know is how to direct the momentum.

Wavedashing offers more combo opportunities, for example, do a non-shorthopped Fair on your opponent, then fastfall and superwavedash towards them, the fastest alternative is to fastfall and then run towards them, which takes at least twice as much time.

and btw i do know what i'm talking about

Actually, Shadowking, a wavedash is better for a ground based strategy than an air based one, because of its sheer potential to set you up for using your ground moves. For example you can start smashes while still moving in a wavedash, so I am completely convinced that you could benefit greatly from wavedashing.
