Ravioli is plural. A single ravioli is a raviolo.
Cannoli is plural. A single cannoli is a cannolo.

So does this mean that Luigi is plural, and a single Luigi would be a Luigo?
And would more than one Mario be a Marii?

This is a fun linguistic quirk. In Italian, cannolo/cannoli is undeniably correct. However, in English it is more commonly accepted to use cannoli/cannolis.

The irony being that Italian evolved from Latin, which means that something with a plural -i ending should theoretically end with a -us for the singular. So it should actually be spaghettus and cannolus.

Mario is literally derived from Marius ("son of Mars"), so yes. The plural of Mario in Latin would absolutely be Marii.

As for Luigi, it's a corruption of a foreign name, so a singular derivation should actually be closer to Louis/Lewis.

I'm finally playing through AoC, and I'm pretty comfortable saying that Revali is my least favourite character so far (just unlocked the four future champions). The concept's nifty, but his combos are just so awkward to land, especially where the strongest ones take him out of the air and I need to take off again if I want to use them. Maybe unlocking his C6 will change things, but I have my doubts.

Looking into him more, dodge cancelling his grounded C2 or C3 at the right time is an easy way to get back into the air, so I'm guessing I just need to get a handle on alternating between his aerial C5/6 (which ground you, and C6 forces a WPG) and those moves to keep a smooth flow of damage coming, but I still just find him awkward to work with. In theory, having so many ranged moves should make it relatively easy to avoid getting knocked out of the air, but so many of his strong attacks take him into melee range and his turning radius is so awkwardly wide that I still struggle with it.

Pretty sure Spaghetti and Spaghetto are fraternal Japanese twins who have repressed feelings for one another
