Broke: It's so hard that even some of the best Melee players on the world have failed to beat it. Woke: It's so hard that Luigi had to actually do something in order to win.
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.
wow, sick TAS. great work! that being said IMO you should work on the vid's title; the 'very hard all star' part is completely buried and that's the main hook so it should prolly be front and center. perhaps something like "Luigi beats All Star Very Hard by" etc. also maybe say 'almost absolutely' instead of just 'absolutely' cuz it can feel a bit like a bait and switch. just some food for thought.
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.
loving the fact some details i wouldn't know without studying the game before hand are pointed out to the audience, cpus chase off screen platforms, rng makes the stage move faster on ice climbers' fight, pal differences hence its use.
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.
@@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
After waiting over a year for a new video, this is what we get. A Luigi video! I love this video so much! It is probably my favourite video on the channel. Please make a Mario or Dr. Mario specific video at some point.
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.

Hey PTAS I'm the guy who made Sonic for Melee just now. Can I send it to you for free? Make content with it if you like it enough. Video demo in my YT

He even unlocked Sonic at the end by shooting all the credits
Lmao
Hahaha
LOL
No that's Toad, Sonic is by KOing 20 CPUs in Cruel Melee.
Bro y'all remember this
sick tas, can tell you put a lot of effort into strategy and entertainment
Wow verified person, no likes or comments just wow
Nah that’s just Luigi being Luigi.
Thank you!
Oh hey I watch your streams
Kosmic o:
It's official. Luigi is no longer Italian. He is from Switzerland.
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.
The fact that Melee has a Switzerland bonus is the best thing ever
Yes
Yeah when I first seen that I was dying laughing XD
@@myaktric 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

"Lemme just march on over to the Kill Peach button..."
I will never get tired of these kinds of videos.
Disappointed by lack of 'tool-assisted' puns for the flatzone portion.
the fact that there's a switzerland bonus is hilarious
4:32 that taunt with only one pixel of your feet on the platform was brutal
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
Maybe change the title to “Luigi doing mildly nothing”
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

Worst drivers EVER. UGGGH.

3:51 when your last friend busts out the tournament and so you all leave the venue immediately
5:31 Parrying this jab was absolutely nuts, and still preserves the challenge.
Called powersheilding in melee. Parrying is a different mechanic altogether technically
@@jamesonsockstoes5470 he actually jabs to parry instead of shielding
Alternate Title: "Luigi unlocks Ultra Instinct Omen"
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
So technically, this is more like "Luigi wins by doing nearly nothing".
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.
20 years and I never knew of a Switzerland bonus. Amazing.
Now *THIS* is how Melee is supposed to be played
1:30 This is some tom and jerry shit right here
Luigi's constant wavedash is always a joy to watch. His "YAH" sound is great.
More accurate title: Luigi wins by moving around and perfect-shielding.
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
Very creative! Nice combination of stage-specific quirks, character-specific AI quirks, and RNG to tie it all together. Fun watch.
I love how you end each fight with Luigi in a cool pose. And the way his voice clips sync with the music at 4:05 is an underappreciated touch.
I had to watch the one at 4:00 like 5 times to figure out what the hell happened. Luigi mixed me so damn hard let alone the CPUs
Jeez this really takes me back. I remember randomly unlocking All-Star mode and even the normal difficulty was hard.
Melee's best feature is the post battle special bonus which has been criminally missing from every single smash since.
That was one of the msot satisfying melee videos I watched recently. Just seeing all these CPUs SD is pure perfetion.
msot
This is amazing, so many cool strategies!
Great TAS! Love that you went for extra credits, too! Thanks for creating & uploading this!
4:31 Alright that was pretty cute 😂
Fox: Hup... FAIYAH! (lands) Hup.... FAIYAH! (out of bounds) BUWAAAH!
@@mach6893 Luigi: *Clearly couldn't care less*
Yoooo new PTAS video! This is both a funny idea and a cool showcase of how silly Melee CPUs can be. Good stuff.
This is solid proof that Luigi is a god
I still love the fact that the bonus for not hurting anyone and not getting hurt is called Switzerland
3:10 Holy cow Marth killer-ing the Dr Mario with the Jigglypuff aerial is so big brain
Luigi: I'm using 2% of my power!
That’s one way to give one of the game’s hardest modes a TASte of defeat.
I am in shock and awe of your dedication to this TAS
that game and watch stage was scary.
"You mistake my mercy for weakness, when it is the very opposite. It is the very reason i've gotten this far, and why you will soon fall."
Luigi wins by doing slightly nothing! Amazing TAS!
This is absurdly insane. I love it.
Looks like Luigi is now a top tier. Not even Fox could stand a chance against this dude.
My man just started shmooving around the stage
Bruh the way he looked at bowser in the eye before plummeting to his death. Priceless
That was incredible! Awesome work as usual!
I dig the commentary! Good job man :)
only the most practical of TASes I see
Gotta do it for the ya-ya-yahoo.
Very nice video, PracticalTAS!!
Luigi moves: Harmless
Luigi Does nothing: BOSS MUSIC
5:14, those wave dashes had me laughing for some reason lol
Luigi fuckin has ultra instinct now.
Luigi wins by having absolutely no friction.
Amazing work! That was a blast to watch!
wow, sick TAS. great work!

@@Malurth can confirm, i clicked because "what is luigi not doing THIS time?"
2:44 shooting out a random fireball to get rng to guarantee a misfire is one of the most TAS things ive ever seen
Insanity of an Difficult time to do absolutely nothing.
"Luigi wins by doing ABSOLUTELY nothing"
"He'll still move around sometimes"
this is insane oml. Great vid!!
Luigi is just so good he doesn't even have to move
Ez did this with my eyes closed and my hands tied behind my back. Next time give me an actually difficult challenge
Vids or didn't happen
Obviously fake, or he had to have done way too many attempts.
The rising cyclone at 4:59 goes so high
Yup, Luigi is just letting the CPUs to kill them selves on purpose lol 😂
Wow this was incredibly entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
I feel like I was and wasn’t lied to when the title said “Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing”
ppl wake up and choose violence but luigi wakes up and chooses pacifism
5:14 cyber bullies trying to bully me when I shut off the computer
You should put the fact that this is a PAL TAS in the title.
loving the fact some details i wouldn't know without studying the game before hand are pointed out to the audience, cpus chase off screen platforms, rng makes the stage move faster on ice climbers' fight, pal differences hence its use.
Luigi the gangsta slid around like he was a jellybean in an ice rink, and still won by doing absolutely nothing.
There are two types of people in this world, Skilled and Lucky
This almost seems like it could be done in real time
But it would require crazy luck
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
If you could do this with every other character in the game, that'd be worthy of a nobel prize.
This must’ve taken so much effort to do lol, amazing
only a true smash fan will remember how Samus used to honk every time she jumped
Birb woman is best Samus.
2:00 I love that bluff SD
That was an insane TAS, nicely done
"It's unfair because robots have perfect reaction time!"
The robots:
Luigi. the journey of doing absolutely nothing…
We've been tricked! We've been backstabbing! And we've been quite possibly, bamboozled!
That Game & Watch fight was like watching an OP anime character toy with his opponents
This is my first time hearing of the Switzerland bonus before
The way the camera zooms into luigi's unimpressed face at 4:30 fucking gets me
Likewise. Fox's antics also make me LMAO.
Fox: Hup... FAIYAH! (lands) Hup.... FAIYAH! (out of bounds) BUWAAAH!
Luigi vs the entire cast in very hard mode.
Luigi: "So is an even fight then."
YOU ABSOLUTE MADLAD
You killed the last game & watch with Luigi's TAUNT
Now that's confident if everyone I've seen it
YOUR BACK!!!
THE LEGEND IS BACK
After waiting over a year for a new video, this is what we get. A Luigi video! I love this video so much! It is probably my favourite video on the channel.
Please make a Mario or Dr. Mario specific video at some point.
The Luigi vs Game and Watch fight is one of the sickest fights I've ever seen and Luigi didn't even fight
Melee: Very Hard All Star is too difficult to complete
Also Melee: CPUs enjoy dying to dumb shit
This is awesome. How did you find these strategies? Trial and error?
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
4:31
Using the C-Stick zoom was so disrespectful, even for a TAS Vs AI.
Practicalest video yet!
This was so fun to watch!
5:49 the CPUs are like: "what the hell is wrong with these tools today, they were supposed to attack the player not us."
6:10 The disrespect!!!
