Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing. It's pure legendary.

I think it's cool that the AI in the Pokémon games reacts to a disguised Zorua/Zoroark. Most of the time, mixups and deceptive strategy and are useless against AI because the game is always aware of what you're doing.

Fun fact: in USUM Lusamine isn't tricked by the Illusion of a Zoura or Zourak. This is because her AI is deliberately bad and just uses random moves completly ignoring type matchups. Particularly notable example is her Lopbunny, which has Fire Punch, Ice Punch AND Thunder Punch but doesn't target weaknesses despite three of her moves being practically identical.

5:22 That’s not Samus trying to fight, she’s just dancing along to the music

8:03 Ultimate CPU with the broken hammer is clearly not trying to fight you, it does what's best and goes straight to the middle of the stage so it can survive a punish. You can see it turning around perfectly in the middle of the stage.

Is the AI really that bad in Mario Party, or is it because Luigi is just so good?

If anything, the AI being unable to realize a Zoroark play makes it slightly more realistic. It’s like the AI is confused themselves and have that moment of realization “ohhhh! That’s a Zoroark!”

Regarding the SSBU AI moments here... The bullet bill one was likely an oversight to be fair, but those other two, I argue, are not oversights or bad AI. The "attacks you with broken hammer" one is a complete misunderstanding of what's happening. What the AI is actually doing is moving to the center of the stage, which is likely the best thing to do if you have a broken hammer in actuality. Due to your decreased mobility, it's likely you won't be able to run from others, so being able to take a hit or two without falling off the stage is best done when at the center of the stage. It is a little strange to see, but that's what's actually happening with the AI there. CPUs not spotting the difference between Smash Balls is almost certainly intentional. I have a hard time believing that was an oversight in the AI, as that's assuming that the goal of "good" AI is to simply be perfect. But, it isn't.

Love how this video shows Luigi wins by absolutely doing nothing

Here's one: if you stealth hit an enemy in Zelda Botw you can move around to its front and stealth hit it again when it gets up because even though you're right in front of it when it gets up it'll still be more concerned with what attacked its behind and it'll turn around again

The AI is so bad in Mario Party that Luigi can win by doing absolutely nothing

Necrozma: Willingly attempts to steal all the light from Alola, is the first pokémon in the franchise to be one of the main villains Also Necrozma: Can't comprehend Zoroark's illusion ability

In Melee, Luigi only uses side b to recover. He never uses up b for that.

Don't forget in Xenoblade, when you fight a boss, using the upstairs let's you avoid the battle XD

Gotta admit I've always just been the tiniest bit skeptical about the "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" legend, but then you showed me Mario Party DS and I'm thoroughly convinced. Great job!

Something that has to be said about Pikmin: Blue pikmin actually identify drowning pikmin and throw them to shore. The fact that the others are taking poor paths is aptly described as "intentionally" poor, because it's representing the fact that these little guys are loyal to your commands, *even if it kills them*, while the actions of the blue lifeguards prove that the AI is actually really thoughtful.

lmao Samus looks likes she's dancing to Fourside music 5:27

On the topic of Smash CPU's being blind to fake smash balls, setting it as the only item with the highest rate and forcing a bunch of random level 9 CPU's to fight each other is pretty funny to watch, its absolute chaos and definitely needs a decent amount of lives for it to last any time at all lol.

...Okay. Story time... When I was a kid, playing Mario Party 7 for the first time... The minigame where you get shot out of a cannon came up (I forget the name) I'm like "Okay, this seems fun..." I do end up winning. WITH 5 POINTS. GOD, I wish I recorded that...

So for gen 1 pokemon the last one there is actually due to how the game calculates pokemon with two types. When a move hits the damage is calculated properly based off effectiveness, it will say super/not very effective based only off the first “primary” type, and the ai also base their moves off effectiveness, so the ai tried to use a ground move because fire is weak to ground

The Infamous "Luigi won by doing absolutely nothing" has been used to show how bad AI in the Nintendo Games

No mention of Wolf and Snake in Ultimate ? They are really prolific at SDs, even without items. Wolf tends to just airdodge into his death instead of edgeguarding you, and Snake always recover as if his C4 was available. It's often not, since the first thing they do is to put it somewhere and hope you pass by it.

The broken hammer one, is actually a thing. Once the hammer breaks, you still can’t drop it. Even as a regular player. Correct me if I’m wrong. But I could never drop it 🤷‍♂️

The pathfinding is awful in Pokemon Conquest. It generally takes the AI 15 of their available 30 turns to get to my Pokemon while defending in Valora because of all of the gates. You can probably just stand on a gear and make them go back and forth as you switch 2 gates open and closed each turn. Oddly, I think the AI completely ignores Illusion, though, as they've used things like Poison moves on my Zoroark while it's disguised as a Steel-type.

What about Splatoon 2? The Octoling AI in hero mode is really not that great. Sometimes, they shoot at nothing and they are not that great with looking at surroundings or dodging, or aiming.

The SSBU examples didn't prove that it had bad AI, what's the CPU supposed to do with a broken hammer, the CPU killed the player so it was worth it to lose a stock with the bullet bill and the fakes smash balls are supposed to be hard to tell so if a CPU could just know every time if it's a fake or not it would make the CPU too powerful

Legit lol, had a Zoroark in my USUM playthrough and I had NO idea what ppl were talking about when they said the Ultra Necrozma fight was super hard.

10:45 Luigi: "I won.... by doing nothing but standing"

AI stands for absolutely idiotic

5:22 Samus vibing the song

The Pikmin AI is intentional actually. The Pikmin follow their Captain's orders with no regard for their own lives, so if the order is to follow them into water, they will attempt to do so. And fail, unless they're blue. Edit: I can't read. It says this in the video.

These videos are seriously entertaining keep up the good work 😁

I love how we all have accepted Luigi as the character to use when the strategy is "do nothing"

5:21 I see no problem here, Samus is just vibin'

5:21 Samus was just dancing to the music

I can never get enough or "luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" it's the most funniest shit ever, watching him stand there as everyone else get picked off

The dugtrio one was actually because it was recognising ground is super effective against fire but forgot about flying because its the secondary type

When you take the "I" out of "AI"

The mario party luigi wins by doing nothing is a combination of two factors I suspect 1: The game doesn't expect it to be possible to win most minigames by doing absolutely nothing 2: You play the same minigame enough times - if it doesn't require input you'll win it eventually

That last clip just goes to show, Luigi is a straight shooter

I wouldn't say "terrible", they're minor errors that likely won't affect gameplay unless you're abusing them.

5:20 I don’t blame her for jammin

I literally had Zoroark in my party the first time around, total coincidence lmao

5:30 Samus was just banging to the soundtrack, bro

Luigi is like dealing with a group of newbies professionally

10:14 isn't this because Giovanni's Dugtrio only has ground moves in Pokemon yellow? I remember hearing that you could literally beat it with a level 2 Pidgey since none of the Dugtrio's moves can hit a flying type. I guess you could argue that the enemy trainers rarely switching is also bad AI though.

5:23 what do you mean weird? She’s clearly just grooving to the music

On the topic of smash bros AI, sometimes the cpus in Ultimate are straight CRACKED. Like, they make top ranked PGR players look like day 1 noobs. Mostly the character unlocks back in early days of the game, but still.

2:48 So much for being an evil genius! 3:33 On the topic of Smash 64, my favorite exploit is in the Yoshi’s Story stage where there’s a cloud platform far away from the main stage. You can stay on that platform indefinitely so long as you frequently jump in place. The CPUs who want to reach you there cannot, for the life of them, figure out how and they always fall to the pit for trying.

9:53 All glory to the All-Terrain Venomoth

Ah yes, the "Luigi wins by doing nothing" genre

You see, cheesing Ultra Nekrozma with Zoroark is cool and all. But real men use a focus sashed Rattata with endeavor and quick attack.

At 10:20 the explanation is wrong. It only looks at the Pokemon's first type. So it things Charizard is weak to ground because it's primary type is fire. It doesn't see it's flying secondary type

5:22 Samus: Dang this is a sick beat

4:47 this was me when I was 5 years old

Yeah I scared the shit out of Fox’s teammates

“The pikmin A.I. is intentionally bad.” *proceeds to just run the pikmin into the water and not even save them* “See? Bad A.I.”

for the pokemon zorua/ zoroark one, if they have another super effective move for the pokemon your disguised as, they will use it the next turn, bc in black 2 i remember sending my zoroark desguised as emboar against katlin, and her galade went for a psychic attack, but the second turn, it went for earthquake since it was also super effective.

5:21 Samus casually vibing

This is less of a "what happens" video, more of a "how many employees should be fired from Nintendo?" video :p

5:22 I think Samus is just jamming to the tune. XD

F-Zero AI in the GBA games are so bad its legendary. No racing IQ, often driving into walls, not being good at the air (actually most times in the series, AI sucks in the air). Sometimes AI willingly get torched by landmines and damage zones too.

Nor can people handle Zorua/Zoroark

I remember Luigi being the strongest Lv.9 CPU in Melee. Well, in the PAL version at least. I also remember Jigglypuff being pretty dumb as bricks, trying to recover with it's up special, which is Sing. While CPU Yoshi recovers with his air dodge (you can move a bit with it), using it as his third jump. In Brawl, it's already bad enough that they gang up against you despite being in a free-for-all. But I remember having a custom stage, where I camp below which seems to be unreachable for the CPU and they're doing nothing. It's even funnier when a Smash Ball spawns and they can't reach it. They're making funny little steps instead!

I'm really disappointed to not see the legendary clip of AATTVVV defeating Lance's Dragonite.

Cpu in smash ultimate: I have no idea which is real one *smash fake smash ball* 8:59

7:01 Is that ganondorf cross teaming?

i love samus doing charge shot while fourside just playing in the background

I expected Pikmin to be here, not disappointed

Loved the Mario Party sections bitterly

AI : Articial Idiot.

That's precisely the point of Zorua and Zoroark's ability, only a really good trainer i.e. a real person would be able to figure out it's a trick and change strategies.

5:21 I'd like to imagine that's how Samus dances at the club 🕺

Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing. Totaly classic!

I love the Fox in Melee in Kongo Jungle one.

Yeah I can agree with MP and SSB because sometime I got times that CPU’s just killed themselves.

i think people tend to conflate "unintelligent" AI with it being "bad" or "poorly designed" AI but in actuality most games would be a lot worse if enemies always behaved perfectly in every situation

one fun glitch i exploited when i was younger, is an infamous glitch involving the jungle japes stage on melee. you can make ness continually jump off the stage on lvl 9 CPU if you just do nothing, easy 10 winstreak to unlock characters.

i remember when i played one of the missions in super smash bros. melee, i went to one side of the fountain of dreams stage and the computer kirbys didn't come over to me and all one kirby did was use up special in place every few seconds xD

2:11 So that's why the Star Wolf fights are hard as hell

12:35 Me in Luigi's Balloon World when the balloon is behind a tree 2 feet to my left

I came upon the Ridley glitch by complete accident when I first fought him. Great tactic though, if you're going for a 15% speed run.

11:35 They threw bob-ombs at each other xd

11:41 luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing.

Ai when edge guarded: it's over! I lost

5:21 Samus is dancing to the music.

LUIGI WINS EVERY MINIGAME DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Some of my favorite abuses of AI include Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Ansem fight, he is such a good bowler that if you hide in the gutter he literally can't hit you Super Smash Bros Stage Builder AI fighters don't understand what a Pinball machine is. If you build a pinball Stage they will defeat themselves very quickly

I remember the Star wolf battle angering me as kid seeing my team not helping

Lol I did win against ultra necrozma by using zoroark. It wasn't intentional, the guy kept spamming photon geyser

4:10 um, it's called "coverage?!" Never heard of it? (jk of course)

I remember in windwaker, I was at the part where I had to escort Zelda to her castle. I wnt up the stairs (which were to her left) and stood on the slightly taller platform above. She just walked into the platform, and kept walking because it was a straight line. After a few minutes, I went back down to slowly lead Zelda up the stairs. I was probably 7-8 years old at the time, and I found it very funny at how stupid Zelda was when the stairs were right there.

Samus just boppin at fourside's music

10:39 luigi win doing absolutely nothing..again

Oh my God the Moblin one is nostalgic. I used to do that all the time. It was funny!

Dear God the nostalgia hearing "peppy! Long time no see!"

One memorable exploit I just rediscovered in Melee is that (at least in Event 51) the CPU will always shield when the player chooses Fox and spams the blaster. Giga Bowser won’t even flinch, but it’s a very easy way to gimp Ganondorf and Mewtwo into a shield break each.

I'm starting to think the Mario Party AI is intended to fail themselves when a player-controlled Luigi doesn't move

For N64, on the Sector Z stage, characters like Link can get back over the fin, but only if someone baits a recovery (for Link, he may try to attack with Up B, allowing him to reach the top). On the Planet Z stage, the AI has a tendency to drop through platforms straight into rising acid when it rises high enough. In Mushroom Kingdom, they're oblivious to the left and right blast zones, and if a player waits long enough after being KOd there, the AI often wanders straight into them, killing themselves, and will also hold shield to their deaths on falling platforms (if they're on the left side of the right one, or right side of the left one). On the Pokemon stage, the AI will keep running against the doors that random pokemon pop out of if the player stays on the helipad, and on the lower left tower, Samus and DK will constantly roll when charging their special. In general, the AI always prioritizes picking up and using items (including Link's bombs) in a certain range over any other action, and always use throwables from the spot they picked them up, regardless of accuracy, teammates, or obstacles. If an AI is close to a player, they may try to roll to the other side of the player, and if the player turns toward them as they roll, they'll constantly roll back and forth. If an AI ends up under a stage with a hard floor (like Yoshi's Story stage), they'll attempt to recover across the stage rather than to the ledge closer to them. In short, Smash Bros for N64 was a beautiful mess.

10:23 Don't be a thief! Trainer: COMING FROM A GUY WHO LITERALLY RUNS A GANG OF POKEMON THIEVES!!
