Luigi may not adorn the front of many game boxes, nor have the prominent role of his bro Mario, but for a hardy group of fans - including this writer - he's always number one. It's the underdog spirit, being the other brother, that makes him easy to root for.
Of course, his mannerisms and style make him perfect for the weird world of the internet, and he's often revered for doing nothing. Mario Party fans know only too well that Luigi has the power to stand still and still win minigames - such is the power of his personality.
Now Omega Tyrant has shown that Luigi's skills also extend to the brutal battlefields of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Opening each fight with a slightly weary "let's a'go", the green one simply lets his opponents struggle to live with his aura, that undefinable presence that makes him the master on any stage, where opponents willingly lay down their lives after one look into his eyes. That's the authority of the man.
Either that or this YouTuber spent an inordinate number of hours recording match after match in the hope that level 9 CPU opponents would eventually die in daft ways as Luigi looks on. Yeah, that's probably it.
So, here it is, Luigi beating every member of the new Smash Bros. roster on level 9... by doing nothing.

Luigi too OP
Plz Nerf Sakurai

One does not make a CPU perfect. All smash CPU seem to be bad at their own game. Killing themselves..
The second I saw this, I knew it would showcase Omega Tyrant's video.
I'm subscribed to the guy; has some cool Smash 4 montages and funny moments.
always through it was creepy that luigi is smelling his finger in that pic.
This is why Luigi's awesome.
Rubbing his nose, thank you kindly.
Does this work on the 3DS Version & will it work on Master Hand & Crazy Hand?
@Knuckles Luigi's OP? Better nerf Greninja!
@Robo-Knight I seriously doubt it works with them. Master hand and crazy hand do nothing to launch themselves off the stage, nor does their stage have any hazards
Not really weird. Luigi always does this in Mario Party, and Smash bros. Melee.
Hahahaha oh my gosh.
There's also a video called "Peach Loses By Doing Everything". That's even better!
Too funny!
It is funny how the computer being programmed the way it is will do this sometimes. When they get close to you, it is like they are expecting you to attack and so they dodge and it kills them.
This is a pretty sad showcase of how the enemy AI, while generally improved, is still flawed beyond reason, after almost 20 years of time to improve it...
Well this will give my kid something to watch in the morning when he wakes up.
This isn't really a case of bad AI so much as it is the stages being evil, as usual. I know people are being quick to say "the AI must be bad" but who knows how many attempts it took the video uploader to make these happen. In fact, some of these (such as Ganondorf suiciding on Gaur Plain) are the same kind of mistakes actual players make. Little Mac in particular has probably led to a lot of player suicides. Ironically, I've rarely seen the AI launch itself off the stage with Little Mac the way players do.
That said it's still pretty funny to watch.
@OneBagTravel "Your finger stinks!!!"
...Do level 50 Amiibos next. lol
And today I learned a track from X-Scape made it in! I've gotta find that, I loved that game.
@Jason723 said: "Luigi always does this in Mario Party, and Smash bros. Melee."
I was about to say the same thing, apparently this has been a thing on YouTube for a few years now. First ones I saw were for Mario Party minigames.
And this is when it sunk in for me that a video of "All Smash characters doing [pretty much anything]" is going to take about 20 minutes minimum to get through; the roster is just that huge. Wow.
Patience is the key to life!
The Kind Dedede one was great when he stopped and they both just stared at each other for a few sec.
I'd like to see this with level 50 amiibo if possible. If it's not possible though it would contribute to the "amiibo is locking on disc content behind a physical paywall"
@Onion That's one smart onion.
Mother of god, Luigi's Death Stare actually kills now?
Awesome but I like the Melee one better.
@TwilightAngel More like nerf Little Mac.
@Grumblevolcano Wait, what?
I love watching the most OP characters being bested by LUIGI who's doing NOTHING.
Luigi surely has no limits to his greatness and this further supports that! Never underestimate the man in green!
Behold the power of Mr. L!
Luigi's too OP! Better nerf Greninja
It all started with the Mario party 2 video, which, incidentally, is still the best example of Luigi winning by doing absolutley nothing.
Lol, he didn't even use his deathstare. ^^
I think @ikki5 got it right, the CPU is supposed to behave that way because usually you would attack them and then their reaction could come to late. So they anticipate your moves just like a human player would.
But they don't anticipate you doing nothing.
@locky-mavo
This is the Millenia of Luigi.
Wow! Just wow!
Not surprising, sense this is an old (but still funny) meme.
