Ludwig is the protagonist with hidden overpowered abilities he unlocks with relative ease
Cheecan Peecan big fact. Watching this man clutch shit is so satisfying
The power of coach
He has plot armor
Avatar the last airbender type shit
The best arc
I guess the plan was simple
It was always simple
Just like ludwig
h
Simps
Hes opponent was just, too little, too late
Every time he mentions how the coach made the team and also made him notes about how to play in almost every matchup i keep remembering the scene from yu-gi-oh of a kid beating Bandit Keith following the notes that pegasus wrote on a piece of paper.
This is my favorite and the best reference _I've_ seen in any comment section
Stalling is the saddest way to win lmao, virgin play from Toph right there.
That’s as virgin a play as the Starly F.E.A.R. Method
I mean thems the rules but imagine sweating to the point where you delay the game to win on a technicality fuckin disgraceful
It's pure fear.
Dropping to his knees and saying "i'm scared of your plays, Ludwig" would've been a much less blatant way for Toph to say he was scared of Ludwig.
Meh. A win is a win. Honor is for rubes
@@anenemystand5582 it's literally an invitational, the whole point is being entertaining, not being a try hard so you can be top Pokemon/smash bros player out of a whole 8
When Ludwig thought he couldn't use sleep powder, it was like Rock Lee fighting with weights on. What a damn warrior
Fax
Why did lud like did he even get the reference?
@@davidsenyah6552 Yeah, probably
Lud liked this shows he gets the reference. Lmao weeb
or he likes being a warrior
This was an entire shonen anime compressed into and hour
ludwig is honestly such a good storyteller. i dont give a shit about pokemon but i was fucking invested in this.
mjotten1998 same
I mean he used music from at least 3 that I can name

Best quote of my month
What i really love about this tournament is the fact that most of the audience thought that Ludwig would only throw and be for the gimmick of the event and the fact that Ludwig was the total underdog of the tournament, then Ludwig proved them wrong.

THE PLAN WAS SIMPLE
Other way around bud,
Ludwig: can’t beat a single nuzlocke in 22 trys
Also Ludwig: makes the greatest clutch in Pokémon history and wins a tourney not knowing that you can put duraludon to sleep
To be fair, it was a ludlocke but whatever

How could someone ever design a turn-based strategy game that REWARDS indecision and stalling?
That's absolutely infuriating.
And I really don't respect the poor sportsmanship of abusing that loophole. Such a sucky thing to do.
yeah no, ludwig only lost to timer in that game because he played the endgame badly
it doesn’t really reward stalling, especially not at a high level
@@PrismaAce still a loss to the timer, not the other player.
'That runner lost the race because they didn't dodge the bullet one of the refs shot them with. If that runner dodged the bullet they would have won.'
'That gamer lost his game because one of the admins banned him. If that gamer was less banable they would have won.'
Wins should not be granted by shit game mechanics, and they should not be considered wins by anyone with morals.
That was a really scummy play by Toph.
it was optimal. the rules are shitty, not the people who exploit them
@@queercandy1 how are you not shitty by abusing a flawed ruleset to win lmao
@@brimsomustdie because it's optimal. it's supposed to be a tournament. this happens in literally every single competitive game that has ever existed. no good player worth their salt will straight up throw a game because it would be lame not to
@@queercandy1 imagine grinding every single day and climbing up the ladder, reach the top 100, get invited to a tournament and in your second match you get trashed so hard by a guy that doesnt even know what fairys weak to and that you just happen to have shitted on before the fight, to the point of the ONLY round you won against him was by not actually winning, because you just kept being outplayed all the time?? if not scummy, the fact this actually is his last resort and he needed to use it against a mediocre player is just sad and pathetic, and how youre like the only guy ive seen that thinks "its ackchyually optimal" and how youre so confident in saying "it literally happens every match" when it literally doesnt contributes a lot more to thinking YOU use this in all your competitive matches because youre bad than your whole entire point
@@brimsomustdie i take it you've never been timed out by someone on ladder. this literally happens all the goddamn time dude
This is such an amazing video
I honestly didn't know Ludwig was in the tournament until now
Hi
Ive rewatched it 5 times
What pokemon game is this
@@aspiredgods6306 Sword and shield?
Anybody else remember how it took Ash over a decade to win a Pokémon league? I see no difference here. 22 runs btw
Yes both children
PMG I watched this bitch live. I’m no fake fan
PlatinumWolf24 [Obscurity] I’m not right about to watch a 5 hour stream, even though I only care about 2 of the contestants. I have better uses of my time.
@@SmoothTurtle840 Yeah that's totally fair. I'll admit I just had it on in the background for the most part.
Ash is also 5'5 "they have so much in common"
This is my favorite video on CZcams and I’ve been on CZcams for awhile. Watched this video too many times to count but fuck it I’m watching it again!!!!
I come back every once in a while to see this perfect example of the hero’s journey
hey sorry for later upload me and my editor worked real hard on this hope u like :)
Also big shoutouts to my coach jivetime i cannot give him enough credit
and i dont blame toph i think he didnt realize the clock and just took advantage of a shitty ruleset would be pants on head not to
lol
Ludwig nice
It's okay he does great work he can take as much time as his supple cheeks needs
Your mom
Almost lost your streak
You are a great storyteller. I was so enthralled I didn’t realize this video was 45 minutes long.
English degree coming in clutch
Holy shit i just realized it was 45 minutes long reading this lol
@@ed.newgate this is the exact sentence I said to myself
He tells the story and You completely forget that the title is "How I (accidentally) won" and not "how I lost". He could spoil You the ending of the move then tell the story again and You would be fucking suprised.
@@pango9519 lud has an english degree?
Lud played insanely clutch, and I admire that he really didn't give up after going down one of two games.
Still the best Ludwig video. He's done some cooler stuff overall but this video is still so hype even after 2 years. Fantastic storyline, editing, and pacing. Hope he can match it someday soon.
Wtf, I literally just opened CZcams and thought to myself “I wonder if ludwig has a new video, I never got a notification today” and got disappointed when I saw nothing, then immediately afterward I got a notification that you uploaded this.
CZcams didn't send you a notification for a reason
You must of been very disappointed
LET’S GO SEAL

It was so satisfying to watch lud absoluty slap toph after that scummy timeout. It felt like when an anime antagonist escapes at the last second then gets whooped again later.
This is probably the best video I’ve ever watched on CZcams, I find myself rewatching this every 2 months because of how amazing it is, fair play ludwig
Everyone shits on Lud all the time and stuff but honestly my favourite content is seeing you succeed in shit like this and proving to everyone your skill and worth. Love you man, keep up the good work
Yeah I don’t get the stuff he gets at all, doesn’t make sense the content is great
@@resanoto2423 i dont know dick about pokemon but im still watching this entire video lol
Love this kinda comment
This is the actual plot of a tourney anime:
Battle 1: Long time trainer, incredible at the game. Protagonist suffers an immediate loss, how can they bounce back?
Battle 2: Personal rival, uses sketchy tactics to win. Looks hopeless for protagonist, but they pull it off by learning how to use the opponent's shady moves against them.
Battle 3: Starts a filler battle, but turns out to be one of the most terrifying battles. The protagonist must be out now, right? Wrong. The protagonist has a broken overpowered secret ability: The Ludwig Gambit.
Battle 4: The beginning of the finals, champions only. Dealing with the best of the best. The protagonist shows his true ability in this fight, easy win, he has a chance.
Battle 5: The best of the best. The Pokemon master. The protagonist has no chance... or does he? Using the skills and strategies he's acquired this far, it's possible, but things begin to look grim after the first round. But wait... what's this? The words of his mentor echo through his head, and he takes the second round. The third round looks hopeless. It was a good run, but it's over. Unless... the protagonist discovers the his true power and uses the Ludwig Gambit in full effect, and he does. Victory.
You forgot the Old And Wise Trainer teaching him Greater Power and a Smarter Mind
*cringe*
@@user-rf1jb4hn2u nah bruh not cringe its hype asf
@@jammedyam3389 *sneezes*
This is actually hype af
I love how Ludwig now has a series of accidentally doing great feats
That Toph play and the only bringing 2 Pokémon in is such a lowball play by both competitors… like come on, glad Lud won
So Lud really does throw for content when it isn't serious, huh?
Good to know.
Why Josuke face smol?
@@matthewhamilton2913 Good question.
@@blazingblight2706 good answer?
Ludwig to his Pokémon team
“Alright boys the plan is trick room”
memento mori
Alright boys*
just want to say this was the first video I ever watched of yours, i absolutely loved it and have been watching ever since, crazy to see how far you have come man. (got the merch too :))
5:02 Immediately subscribed when he began to play snail house. I knew that if this man has this good of a taste in music, he deserves a million likes.
Total battle timer is such a horseshit rule. Isn't that the ENTIRE POINT of turn timers, to make stalling not a thing?
The move timers don't really work when GF makes a 20 minute timer in replace of the hour-long one. At the very least, they could've made it half an hour.
Men, I've seen this video like 3 times now, and that's the part that sticks with me like "men... What a bitch move."
Should have been a turn limit instead of a total battle timer
This is why showdown is 10x better. U get time per turn instead of this bullshit
They could just do chess rules. Each side has an individual timer. I mean seems kind of obvious. I'm not sure why that's not already the case
I'm sitting here watching this in-depth talk through about a pokemon tourney i had no idea was going on, and not understanding a single word Lud says bc I don't play pokemon. Yet still enjoying it lol
Same
Is it sad that I am 100% in the same situation
Me too, he’s like trick room, and I’m like I understand this is somehow important but I dont know why. But I kept watching anyway
@@myforever13 Trick Room makes the lowest speed stat go first for 5 turns
I think it’s even worse for me. I only know gen 1, so all this stuff is hyper confusing.
This was the first Lud video I ever saw, I'm glad to be a sub.
The stall strat was salty as frick and makes me feel like the player stalling was just that unsportsmanlike.
Title correction: How jivetime won a Pokémon tournament
Jivetime would disagree
TRUE
i dunno man lud pulled off some crazy shit without jive... of course jive helped a good bit, but lud won this with his absolute 7head
primitive cereal “a good bit” that’s an under exaggeration
Why is it so hard to give him credit lol
This is the first time a CZcams video has kept me so engaged and entertained that it took me 35 whole minutes to realize it was a 45 minute video
Congrats on the win, wish I'd seen it live :)
Honestly same. 3am, just finished, no regret.
Holy fuck it was 45 minutes
I read your comment and checked an I'm 30 minutes in. Wow, I thought it was like 10
It took me 45 minutes to realize it was 45 minutes. Like i didnt even wonder how long it was till it ended , never even checked
Same, never expected that out of a pokemon video.
This vid perfectly demonstrates Luds plot armor and the importance of a great coach
This was an amazing behind the scenes view of your win. Congrats!
9:28 : “That’s me laughing”
*Lud absolutely losing his shit*
I’m rolling rn
he said "That's me live"
Yo how was your roll?
This is literally just Ludwig being Yugi motou and Jive being Yami Yugi
This comment is perfect hahahahahaha
Anybody else come back and watch this every now and then? One of Luds best vids ever
I sat and watched this whole 45 minute video and didn't even realize, goes to show Lud is a really good story teller lol
That dude actually tried to stall for a second time lol. I think he might kinda hate fun.
Guacc cmoon guys its still all fun and games
@@puba6633 Probably ment to be yeah, it just kinda wasn't :/
Puba Not when the opponent tries to stall because he’s too shit to win but doesn’t want to concede fairly.
@@puba6633 not really fun when you basically lock the other person to winning because you can't accept losing
This is unironically the most inspirational story I have ever heard
I dont follow competitive pokemon at all and didnt understand what was going on as well, but I still watched the entire video because of how you commentated everything in such an entertaining and enthusiastic way. It was awesome to watch you win as the underdog!
This video is what got me into watching Ludwig, it was in my recommended when it came out and am I glad that I chose to watch it.
Dear whoever said sup Michael in chat:
Yo.
Sincerely,
Michael.
Now im staring at the chat looking for that guy wait found him
It was hdesros :)
Yi Hang Chen gimme a time stamp
It was uh around 2:20 i think
Hi :)
lud with his hair like this looks like his name would be gabe and he's hosting a frat party
From a guy named gabe, hard agree
Bro i have a friend gabe and he has this luddy hair 😂😂😂
The only Gabes I know are geeks, but they’re nice people.
Coming back to this after a couple of years and only now realizing how much of a W Lud is with that subspace emissary music at the start.
goated video miss this era
fun fact: he got 100 gifted subs
shoutouts to toph
.
Luds wearing his new mogul moves sweatshirt, you just can’t tell cus he put it in the wash for the first time
This is one of the most amazing youtube videos I've seen. Your energy is amazing and I want that Jigglypuff plush
This video got me into Ludwig and I'm happy it did, This channel reached 1 mil on twitch and youtube recently and that's amazing cuz he truly makes some good content. Ludwig's plan really was simple.
Was trying to sleep. WE GOT ANY SLEEPERS IN THE CHAT HUH IT'S SLEEP TIME EVERYONE, GOT ANY SLEEPERS IN THE CHAT???
sleep is for the weak
sleep pog
Your circadian rhythm (also known as your sleep/wake cycle or body clock) is a natural, internal system that's designed to regulate feelings of sleepiness and wakefulness over a 24-hour period. ... Most people feel the strongest desire to sleep between 1:00pm and 3:00pm (a.k.a.
@@supermongdong aka.
ANY SNOOZERS? ANY SNOOZERS IN CHAT?
I’ve never seen a video from this guy, but I can confidently say he’s the Joey Wheeler of the Pokémon world.
That's really accurate
i cant stop watching this video everytime it gets recommended. Props to the great story telling Lud!
That was amazing. Absolutely fucking amazing. Your strats, your comebacks, and your skills all were amazing. Sure, you had your coach's strategies too, but you were able to execute them, as well as think on the fly, with a team you basically knew nothing about! I especially loved when you had to wing it and you STILL won! Best. Games. EVER. Please, Ludwig, keep up the good work and keep on battling.
That timeout/stall moment in an invitational is kind of low, dude.
HamPrince toph gifted 100 subs
Kind of low in any competition tbh. It’s literally admitting you can’t actually win the game and you have to result in just bending the rules.
@@amberco21 Agreed it's a pretty shady play, but it's the complete polar opposite of bending the rules. In fact, it's actually using the full scope of the ruleset to win at any cost. If Lud did it himself we would probably see it as a 400 iq play.
@@tristuggla It's less of utilizing the rules, and more of abusing them. It's scummy, no matter who does it, including Lud.
yep. its the same as this guy who abused rules on a minecraft server to tp lava trap new players to farm kills. he specifically argued that because pvp was allowed and there wasnt a rule against it, it was fine. just because something is there does not mean it is correct to use it.
This is 45 min of jivetime coming up with genius plays and then Ludwig going “But what if I...”
One of the beat vids on the channel come back every couple months to re watch. Truly a legendary run
The more I watch this video, the more I continue to appreciate the amount of energy and expression in Luddy's voice.
Ludwig: "I might not be the greatest pokemon player, but I sure as hell am the luckiest"
Also lud: has a shit show in Vegas
I barely know anything about competitive pokemon battles, but ludwig made it so entertaining to watch for 45 minutes with his commentary. Truly an underdog story (underdog as in when he stands upright he can fit under a dog). Congrats on the tournament shortwig, I mean ludwig!
Imagine timing someone out in a friendly pokemon invitational tournament
i come back to this video every once in a while, this was the first lud vid i watched. crazy how far hes come since then
35:07 i love that quote so much
Ludwig is the best Pokemon trainer of all time #LuckOverSkillAnyDay
This video got recommended to me and it has been my best decision on youtube to watch it. I since watched every single ludwig video and I and so happy on how much he has grown. Happy one year 💓 of daily uploads.
Lud, one of my favorite things about you is you're such a turbo nerd and it's one of the most amazing things. I don't think most people would think that, and I think most people would think that's an insult, but I mean that with love. I'm so happy to see your growth after getting introduced to you through The Reads. Thanks for everything you do, you're amazing.
The fact that whoever organized the tourny didn't ban toph on the spot for intentional stalling when he knew he lost is sad. Toph should be ashamed tbh
It's a stupid rule but hey at least our boy Lud won it all.
He didn't break any rules so it wouldn't be a good idea to ban toph. They should've made it against the rules but they didn't and its allowed normally so he should keep his win even though its annoying.
Gamefreak needs to raise the battle clock back up to where it’s been for years. There’s no need to force games to end so fast
At least he gave shortwig 100 gifted subs
@@natsuno. Still, it's a really scummy play.
Watching this live was actually nuts. Man had plot armor.
I’ve been binging Luds vids. Huge Pokémon fan since I was a kid. I wish I knew how cool this man was sooner :,)
the only gameplay video over 20 mins that ive watched the whole way. good vid man
Love this vid I can feel how much effort went in to it.
the tournament arc no one asked for but everyone deserved
you had me at the edge of my seat every battle Lud! great job you son of a gun!!
he looked so normal 😢
ikr 😭
I don't know who Ludwig is, I don't understand competitive pokemon... but youtube randomly suggested this video and it was the greatest 45 minutes of my day! Lmfao, Ludwig made this so entertaining to watch and I felt like I understood high lv pokemon for the first time. Great video! GG on winning
This was one of the most hype things I think you've ever done. Congrats, man. Your English major may just be for show, but I think that after 20+ failed nuzlocke attempts, you gained a pokemon major.
This reminds me of Jotaro vs D'arby "I've pretty much figured this game out"
Wolfe is such a nice guy lol. "You played better than I would have". Something in me doubts that
I keep coming back to this video, the storytelling, the plot, the overdramatic reactions. It's peepoo pog
Just played board games with my friends, every time it was some ones turn they would say “the plan is simple” thanks Ludwig
I open a 45 minute ludwig video about pokemon. am pretty hyped. i then hear stickerbush symphony start playing and i am happy now.
I love this vid because it’s just Ludwig playing and the description that Ludwig is doing so it’s just him and his mind
Bruh I never invested into a Pokémon game video ever until now. What a great story teller. Shoot didn’t even know it was 45 minutes too. Have to sub for this
33:19 how tf was that so well timed
Aiden Look what is that song called
Joshua Hughes music is on stream not in editing...
Noice
This is beautiful
The only thing better than making fun of lud for the smallest mistakes is seeing him actually succeed
I'm not one for competitive pokemon, but this was really hype! Ludwig please do more with this in the future!
This was just insane. I love watching it over and over from time to tome
I'm not even kidding, when the music kicked in after he won, I straight up choked up a little
Proud of you ChadWig
My mom: What are you doing in your room?
Me: 12:27
this might be my favourite ludwig video it was incredibly entertaining
Love this Ludwig video. This and the Slime Sims video are underrated classics
Because of your hair in the thumbnail I thought this was a reupload of an older video
Same
The plan is simple... win
And win he did. This is the story of The Pokemon Champion Ludwig Aldren
Toph is a nerd for that staling
Me laughing hysterically seeing him lead butterfee into mandibuzz and knowing he’s gonna sleep powder the mon with overcoat
Oh my god I didn’t expect him to try it twice…
Jesus Christ he actually did it 3 times lud you’re special buddy
