Lmao

Hahaha

LOL

No that's Toad, Sonic is by KOing 20 CPUs in Cruel Melee.

Bro y'all remember this

He speaks Swiss Italian

@@TheStickCollector And is from Southern Switzerland, Ascona!

Strangely enough, Italian is one of the four national languages of Switzerland.

People on twitter be like

He's from Lugano.

Yes

Yeah when I first seen that I was dying laughing XD

@@myaktric8871 pfp!?

What exactly is a Switzerland bonus? Sorry If I'm being dumb :3

@@morrishuijgen7658 Switzerland during both world wars remained neutral and never attacked or got attacked

Wow verified person, no likes or comments just wow

Nah that’s just Luigi being Luigi.

Thank you!

Oh hey I watch your streams

Bespoke: the TAS had to try

"Just this once... I'm going all out!" *moves slightly to the left*

@@augustday9483 This comment is hilarious

Edited to hopefully not be misleading

@@PracticalTAS fair enough.

@@PracticalTAS another alternative if there's still confusion is "Luigi wins by only moving"

@@TheStickCollectorOr "Luigi wins without attacking."

@@PracticalTAS The 2 words that made me watch this video the most is "TAS" and "Pacifist". Tbf, I kinda hate memes. Amazing goddamn TAS this was, man

Looks Like Luigi Just Used 1% of his power.

@@bf3cooldude no he used 0.0000001% of his true power [i mean it looks like that at ponts]

The true rival of shaggy

@@Averyrottenegg no, they would be allies as they are both green, the sidekick of their group and always overshadowed by their friends/brother

And it's not even a taunt! That's one of Luigi's idle animations :D

@@PracticalTAS you’re such a show off, man. I love it

@@PracticalTAS you’re such a show off, man. I love it

you’re such a show off, man. I love it

@@foreman_spike you're such a show off, man. I love it

Or maybe "Luigi wins by not attacking at all", that one/title could work too. Or perhaps "Luigi wins by giving absolutely no damage" instead.

And ledge-guarding. And some weird looking wavedash where he just slides around without actually moving. And hacking the game's RNG to a truly egregious degree in multiple directions.

its called powershielding, ledgehogging, and rng manipulation doesn't involve hacking :)

Switzerland.

Still a more accurate title than the "absolutely nothing" videos where they hack the game to make the stage an auto level

@@snackythecoolguy2363 theres no hacking in this, it could be reproduced on a real GameCube

Called powersheilding in melee. Parrying is a different mechanic altogether technically

@@jamesonsockstoes5470 he actually jabs to parry instead of shielding

Worst drivers EVER. UGGGH.

@@mach6893 Luigi: *Clearly couldn't care less*

msot

With the odds on item spawns, stage selection, and Luigi's special crit-firing on Brinstar multiplied together, you would have a 4x better chance of being hit by lightning within the next 365 days.

@@SarajevoKyoto so still better odds than winning the lottery

@@littlemacisunderrated412 Actually you're almost twice as likely to win the lottery (the standard drawing, leaving aside the PowerBall multiplier) as to do all of this naturally

Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to target the phrase "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" since it's a really really common search term. Targeting All Star Very Hard would make sense for my subscribers, but if I'm targeting that wider audience then most viewers won't even know what that is before clicking. As for the "bait and switch", I did put "(nothing to his opponents, at least)" in the description, but I can see how it could still be misleading. Maybe I can replace it with something like "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing (almost)" or "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing to CPUs"? The title is so long, I can only add 10 more characters to what it currently is.

@@PracticalTAS yeah thinking about it a bit more I think the optimal way to surface the 'all star very hard' is to find a way to work it into the thumbnail, at least the "very hard" part. there's not even enough room to fit both concepts (luigi winning doing nothing, beating all star very hard) in one title without part of it getting cropped, but the thumbnail is free real estate.

@@Malurth can confirm, i clicked because "what is luigi not doing THIS time?"

@@PracticalTASluigi beats all star very hard by doing absolutely nothing to cpus

Vids or didn't happen

Obviously fake, or he had to have done way too many attempts.

Some of them, yeah. A few are well known from real-time runs of All Star mode. Once I found enough stages to guarantee a fast completion, I did the RNG manipulation at the start to make sure I landed only on good stages.

@@PracticalTAS nice job, made a pretty fun video in the end, it was a bit like GDQ commentary haha

Thanks! I'm actually going to submit it to the next AGDQ, I hope it gets in

@@PracticalTAS How could they decline this absolutely masterpiece.

@@PracticalTAS how do you mess with rng? I dont even know what it stands for

A few weeks on and off for prep (figuring out the RNG manipulation, testing for SDs, etc), then maybe about 20-30 hours to TAS it

Fox: Hup... FAIYAH! (lands) Hup.... FAIYAH! (out of bounds) BUWAAAH!

Yep, if all goes well that'll be my next video :)
