For the most part, computer-controlled opponents can provide a plentiful challenge in video games (depending on the player of course). However, YouTuber Omega Tyrant has proven that sometimes the minimalist approach can be the key to success, as his video below shows Luigi win against every CPU-controlled (all on level nine) DLC character in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U by doing absolutely nothing.
It's a pretty hilarious watch, as Luigi calmly lets the CPU's attacks and stage threats have their way with him, all while the opposing AI combatant frantically gets itself into a kerfuffle - ultimately leading to a suicidal fall. It should be noted that Omega Tyrant actually created a very similar video last year where Luigi triumphs over every other SSB4 CPU fighter (again on level nine) by, you guessed it, doing nothing at all. It's another funny watch - having Luigi as the victor just works perfectly (at least in this writer's opinion), and is the next logical step from all those 'Luigi does nothing' Mario Party videos.
Have a watch below and let us know your thoughts. Perhaps taking more of minimalist approach in future matches could be your new strategy for success?

Go Luigi!
Keep Calm and Luigi like Luigi
The stage hazards are dumb. I bet Luigi won't win by doing nothing on the Omega forms of each stage.
He's Number 1.
YEAR OF LUIGI IS STILL GOING
This is hilarious.
Coulda sworn you posted this last year...
@KingMike That was probably about the first video as referenced in this article - this one was uploaded just yesterday
Isn't this old?
I was going to comment on here and say that an article just like this was already published, but then I realized that this one is for DLC characters. Very different. -_-
Whoops, double post.
Luigi is the true master of Smash.
Luigi = top tier seriously I love the Luigi wins by doing nothing series always really funny!
@abbyhitter Obviously
@Savino Not really, this is just a low level cpu. Level 9's perfect sheild everything and seldom make a mistake. You can't even read them since they'll change their approach depending on what you do.
@Zombo According to the article, these are all Lvl 9 CPU's...
@Zombo I don't know about this but the previous video was level 9 CPUs and Luigi still won doing nothing.
The last part of the video with all of them on teams made me burst out laughing. Neat little idea, but I'll still stick to Corrin being my alt main.
@Zombo This is against the DLC characters, so it's new.
Luigi's death stare is OP!!!!!!!
Is this why sakurai only made 7 dlc characters?
The one on one vs Cloud is hilarious!
I'll be using this strategy when I'm playing in those online glory matches. Lol
Better nerf Luigi.
We learned that Luigi isn't a serious contender to fight against. It's proven twice.
I used to love the videos even more than I like Smash TAS. They're still enjoyable to this day.
love it
@chewytapeworm
Haha, I thought so too. Nearly every Cloud I fight online (even in casual matches) is a mega aggro try-hard. Like they have something to prove. That mentality only got that CPU cloud murdered againsted the chillaxed attitude of Luigi!
@Monkeh @ShadJV I dunno then lol.
@Zombo my guess is this took many attempts before it happened. Sooner or later the CPU player will slip up, even on high difficulties it's not perfect. Also, I mean it's Luigi, he's gonna pretty skilled at not doing anything.
@Lady_rosalina there was one for normal characters not DLC yet though
How do people discover these glitches?
