What Happens When You Abuse Terrible AI in Nintendo Games?

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

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!”

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Love how this video shows Luigi wins by absolutely doing nothing

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

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!

...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...

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

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.

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
