Possible way to attract new Luigi users

I just realized this, but people are suckers for combo videos. Luigi is a good character, no doubt, however his tournament results do not display that. When that amazing Zero video was released, the numbers of Zero users skyrocketed. As such, all we need is an incredibly skilled player send his Luigi replays to someone here with the skill to make a good vid. Release it and advertise it, and if logic prevails, people will visit here more. Just an idea.

So, whose an amazing player?

Get boss to do a video. FFS.

Boss pleaaase. Luigi is drowning, send us a lifeline.

I don't know whether or not boss is the best luigi out there (though I am of the opinion that he is), but he is beyond question the most entertaining. If the goal is to have a flashy, high-octane luigi combo vid, he's the only man for the job.

We know you love mario, and thats ok, but you love weegee too right? Why not make a mario bros. video?

I think it would be best to make a collaboration combo video. What I mean is take all the most amazing replays from everyone who participates actively in the Luigi Boards and put clips from each person in there. (Like the Mario one in the Mario Boards). I think that would do the trick :laugh:.

Eh, I'm pretty good with Luigi, especially at Melee.

Sounds like a good idea....

I like locuan's idea, i could do editing but it would take a while for me to make. I'll make a thread asking some peeps for replays to make a collaborative vid for the Luigi Boards. The only thing with combo vids, you attract people granted, but a lot of them are sheep: sticking with characters until the next greatest video is out, you know? I'm sure a few dedicated players will come though, but just a thought.

So yeah, if enough people agree to this, i'll try to set something up for a super combo video xD.

MasterToshima 4 VirtualVoid 4 making the video. If you havent seen this before u dunno what he can do. Also if Fear can play with Luigi as well as with Mario he can do it too...I would do myself but I dont have a capture card or anything like that :(

Great idea!

Oh and btw 1.24-1.32 = pure win

Combo videos are not going to attract new players.

One thing attracts new players - winning tournaments.

Until you guys win tournaments, people won't be caring. Boss is probably going to be your highest asset right now, as long as VirtualVoid isn't releasing any new videos. TheMann is definitely improving lately too though.

A montage video sounds beastly. Clips from community agreed top Luigi Brawlers imo. Maybe a top 5 or something??

QFT QFT QFT.

We just have to win tourneys people. Placing top 3 isn't enough anymore. There also has to be video evidence of the placing too.

Oh yea Im glad u think I'm improving, thanks. Its good to see someone actually has seen my videos and keeps up on my progress. :)

This is true. Tourney victories make people flock to a character like you wouldn't believe.

However I feel that a good combo video showcasing some great Luigi gameplay would definitely attract some new Luigi users.
