Great explanations on techniques. It gets tiring explaining these techniques to people myself, so I'm thankful you made at least a part 1. Looking forward to seeing more(?)
wow boomfan, im a fan dude
Awesome to see the pros giving some recognition- I watch a lot of ISAI vs SuPeRBoOmFaN videos to see this stuff in action. ;)
@@kevinarmes9804 SuperBoomFan is better than isai tho
@@skills_hd I didnt make any claims about who would win, just saying those are not two favorite, and that their 1v1 matches are sick. I think as time has gone by Boom has proven he has more consistent results. But anyone who knows ISAI knows it isnt about winning for ISAI. There's a reason he doesnt stick with his best characters. He'll play Link and Luigi, request DK dittos, go for crazy combos just for style points... it makes a GOAT conversation very difficult, because ISAI no longer has the titles to claim that slot. But I think most fans would recognize he has something special. As it has been said, "He is the King who never claimed his throne..."
But I definitely understand why you say Boom is better. Not even sure ISAI would disagree.
@@kevinarmes9804 all true
I jsut wished more people played 64
It's even less accessible than Melee.
+TurbinationE 64 has a lot to offer that makes it relatively simple to get involved with.
Currently, more 64 tournaments are happening than ever before including both small weekly events throughout the country and also more recognition at international tournaments (see Smash con and Genesis). Additionally, the small community makes it easier to make friends in my opinion and even a scrub can confidently approach top players and ask for friendlies. The small community also makes traveling very easy as staying with another 64 player it totally reasonable, even if you don't know them at all.
While it's true that the West coast suffers (although LA and Seattle still have quite sizable and growing smash communities), the North East, Chigaco, Florida (to name a few) all have big scenes. Playing online is also a great way to learn the game. Hopefully, my videos also illuminate the advanced techniques at least a bit and if you have any questions about other parts of the game, check out our Ask a Question thread: (smashboards.com/threads/ask-a-question-get-an-answer-thread-read-before-asking-a-question.237869/page-244).
Also, since Isai registered for Genesis, that will be a good boost to our viewership I imagine. I'd like to think that 64 is getting more and more accessible as time goes by.
Still play it....
@@TurbinationE you can play on android in an emulator
Teching? *tries it once* THIS IS AMAZING
Yeah, teching is very fun
@@theofficialchannelofoffici7962 it is
Did anyone else watch this hoping to beat a friend or someone?
Nah local store hosting tourney and I don't own game so I'm gonna get raped but gonna hope I can I do OKAY
Yes. I did. But they are very good so I can't hope too beat them yet. YET!!
Im here to beat my pro uncle
yup...am really great but when so many great people re playing someone has to back down.
I show my friends this so that they know that I'm not cheating or glitching (technically speaking) to do the moves I do. Even though things like teleport are technically a glitch they're repeatable and not a one off thing which is caused by circumstances which are hard or impossible to replicate (e.g. cartridge tilting)
When I was a kid I really thought teching, tilts and ledge hogging was basic knowledge... But I think I owe my cousins for beating me up into a pulp until I learned the hard way. But I still learned a few things here. Great vid, man!
Just picked up the game yesterday. Already my roommate and i are having a blast. Now we own Brawl and the N64 versions.
Sounds like a blast! 64 that is :)
This is absolutely incredible. You are an excellent teacher and this is a super high quality video production. I've been really wanting to get more into smash but there's so much rubbish to sift through in the forums I was discouraged until I saw this video. I'm really looking forward to Part 2. When is the ETA? Also any Rat specific nuances you point out are much appreciated ;-)
I appreciate your comment and I'm glad to hear of your interest in smash. Unfortunately I don't have an ETA for part II yet. The goal in making these videos is to have a standard level of knowledge for the audience of smash guides. Hopefully, this will inspire smashers to make character specific guides, which I plan to do myself in the future. As far as Pikachu goes, I don't have any immediate plans but I would be happy to sit down on Skype with you sometime. PM me if you're interested
Are you still into Smash64? haha
I love the layout of the guide, and how everything is divided. Very good job!
I just recently starting playing this game again with friends and this video was extremely helpful. I think having the controller input indication on the screen is really important here. Thank you and keep it up, I'd love to see more of this from you.
Nate, just wanted to give you a shout out for putting together such a well-done video. The explanations are well scripted and easy to understand, and the video overall is very well organized. Even the intro is cool. Thanks so much! Please keep putting out videos, maybe more character-specific stuff. Like a tutorial to high level Pikachu, for example.
this helped me out SOOOO MUCH. great vid man! thanks
Very helpful video mate. Keep up the good work, very useful. I'll be waiting for part 2 :D
Amazing video man. I've been playing this game for 17 years and I just learned some things I didn't know. Thank you very much.
Great video Nate. This is a great tutorial and can be used for any smash game. You walk us through carefully and you didn't leave us with any questions. You earned your 500th like and a subscriber.
awesome explainations and demonstrations on everything
Awesome vid dude
extremely helpful series. i'm totally your suscriber now c:
I found up tilting harder to learn than z-cancelling, I learned to think of it like using the clutch in a car:p finding the tilt position like finding the biting point on the clutch , too little and you go nowhere(neutral), too much and you stall or take off harshly(jump). In my mind the actions require similar finesse, the first time you drive a car you likely stall a few times, once you find the bite point you can get there instinctively. Up-tilting is harder though:p you at least get sensory feedback from a car, you can feel the clutch engage or the car trying to move, with SSB, you just have to learn through trying and failing till it becomes instinct. Maybe seem strange but it helped in my head, perhaps others will have other analogies, just picture something you do that requires a similar skill and apply it to your game, you can often find the skills you need can come from the strangest of everyday tasks:P
Gamble I'm having the same problems with finding the tilt positions. I also like your analogy very much, hope it will help me!
EPEzj Do this drill: th-cam.com/video/nUVPq5RZ9Ko/w-d-xo.htmlm45s
but with Uairs and Dairs instead. For Uairs make sure you don't jump, for Dairs make sure you down fast fall. Easy tilts in no time. All you need is practice
Yo man, just wanted to say that this video is amazing and super crucial to me getting into the Smash64 competitive scene. You basically taught me how to do advanced tech lmao and now i'm ranked in NorCal after a little over a year of playing! I heard you were at SNOSA 3 and was super bummed I didn't realize you were there to say thanks/get some games in. You the man NateL
Awesome man, thanks for letting me know. Let's play online sometime!
Sadly I don't have internet where I just moved yet but when I get it all setup i'll let you know,, but if you ever plan on going to another tournament I'd love to play ya!
Excellent video! Well done
I dunno why TH-cam recommended this video i watched ages ago again, for no apparent reason, but well
guess it's time to pick up my 64 controller again
these vids are lit, thanks
great guide!
This is my favorite game and thanks for the techniques i like your video thx a lot
amazing tutorial
This is a really great video. ty
Great video
This is brilliant
Thanks man! I was looking for something like this and I only found about melee and brawl
Very good video, it covers many of the things that people don't bother to learn when they first start and instead delve into complex advanced techniques without being able to tilt properly, lol.
I would add a note that clarifies the difference between Brawl style buffering and what you're referring to in this video, as that has caused much confusion between me and the competitive Brawl players I've known who are first getting into 64.
I posted this video in several Facebook smash groups I'm apart of in my local area.
Please let me know if you're interested in other feedback, you have a really solid foundation here and clearly have editing and production skills that so many of the tutorial videos lack. I'd be happy to give my input with future installments.
Thanks for taking the time and effort needed in this.
-Potts
Thanks for the comment, I PM'd you on smashboards
I've just started playing as a Luigi main. This is super helpful man, only commentated smash 64 content I've found. You should make more character specific stuff
great vid
Thankyou..i love n64 games and play some to this very day..but couldn't really get into ssb..hope this will help!!!
Great vids. Should have more views but it is an old game. One of my all time favs tho and I still play it today.
You're not the only one
These are great tutorials! Do you play competitively yourself?
Thanks bro :)
Great video! I have a group of friends that play this game on a weekly basis. I just bought the game and a new controller, but the controller stick feels too sensitive to slight movements so I have trouble with my tilts. Any tips on that or should I buy or return the controller? Also, what are your thoughts on replacing the original stick with a GameCube control stick?
An original controller from nintendo is generally the best solution, you can grab them on ebay or at flea markets where you live if you're lucky. Unfortunately, the other options are either decently expensive (gamecube stick, hori, etc.) or take a bit of work on your end to get them figured out (derek stick with pcb upgrade). I'm happy to elaborate further if you'd like. This is a good resource for you to peruse though: (docs.google.com/document/d/1dlC7UM9iVtghs03YzMJt0Cernsx1hSVsd16itKPx2UQ/edit)
Wow, nice video! A lot better than the tuts I've seen. Is it possible to make yoshi's jump cancel a type of wave dash efficiently? After a certain frame, yoshi's jump boosts upward since he doesn't have an Up+B. Would it be better than full dashing with yoshi or only serve as a sort of directional defense if being pressured?
Thanks a lot.
Yoshi's DJC is mainly used for the super armor and tech chase potential because of the increased horizontal movement and ability to stall yourself in the air (to time attacks against a tech, for example). I don't think his second jump changes your movement fast enough to use a DJC just for movement alone. When you're being pressured with Yoshi, many players will spam jump for the protection offered by super armor.
There is a technique called DJC rushing that is theoretically usable by Ness. However, I have only ever seen a few very high caliber players actually do it in real life: Tech → DJC-Rushing (720p HD)
Nice vid BY THE WAY :)
Dude nice video :) i just have a question, if kirby requires the same skill than the others chararacters or is just the playing style?? greetings from Mexico.
+Rodrigo Alvarado Kirby is the easiest character to learn to play with, Up Tilt is broken as fuck and combos into itself without much effort, even if you are bad at comboing you can just spam Up Tilt and rack at least 50% on fastfallers, then nair offstage and dair/dtilt spike edgeguard. Note that this doesn't make him the best character in the game, he's just easy to learn. And has a very good moveset to help begginers with.
a video showing advance recoveries to the platform would be great
collwatt Thanks, I think so too
Thank you.
Excellent video, you could add smooth music, I think its the only thing thats missing
General question for any competitive smashers...I'm registering for my first tourneys and I was wondering if most high level players grease the joystick in their controllers. I only have two good quality originals and I don't want to accidentally ruin them by greasing the parts unless everyone recommends it. Very well made video by the way Nate.
+affattack Yeah grease is a good idea just to keep the sticks feeling good for longer. You'll only notice a difference in how it feels if you have tons of experience so I wouldn't worry about that. This is what most people I trust recomment: (www.yocupco.com/other/taylor-lube.html). Thanks and good luck!
Very instructive. I love the accuracy of your explanation. You have a PhD in Smash Bros^^?
Thanks, I'm glad you think so. I'm actually working on my PhD now so can't boast about it yet
awseome Videos. why dont u do this for meele?
entering a tournament for some good money. thanks for this!!!
+Mike Hart Send me a check when you win!
How'd you get those cinematics in the intro during the tilt/pivot part?
+LimeSoda Camera codes let you change the angle that you see that stage from. I'm sure they're somewhere in here: (gameshark.onlinessb.com/). And then the moving camera was just something I added while editing
Thnx
Where can I find that level chart that was shown near the beginning of the video?
Magebreaker Kalix I believe you're asking about this? smashboards.com/threads/the-full-smash-64-learning-curve-massive-updates.50864/
Great read, especially if you can appreciate a little cynical humor. I recommend it to everyone, it was actually a slap in the face to me the first time I read it and one of the reasons I decided to put in the work to get past stage 3B
Nate, I have a really simple question and hope you don't bother answering. I've read somewhere that *in order to do an up smash* you have to first move your analog stick very quickly all the way up and THEN, right when it reaches the top notch, press A. Is this true, or can I press A before the analog stick reaches the top notch and still hit an up smash? Sometimes I can't do an up smash and I'm kind of struggling with the basics of this game.
Up and A at the same time is what you want! Maybe you have a old stick with lots of deadzone and it's harder to do.
@@NateLTomBombadil Thank you so much! I'm gonna try and solve this controller issue, then.
Alguien sabe como salir de una partida? Según el juego te muestra la combinación al ponerlo en pausa, A+b+Z+R creo, la cosa es que lo sigo y no me sale
i can tell immediately at the beginning of this video that this was done on pj64 emulator because the audio from the game is pretty choppy
does this happen in mupen64 i cant remember
Tip: Works in smash remix
Smash remix = more views. Thanks for the guides.
Not really my goal :)
@@NateLTomBombadil yeaj i know most people dont put techs on that game cause its a mod and not official
i love you
Suppose I'm getting shield pressured and I want to up-smash OoS, is it enough to hold up and spam A, or do I have to spam up, too?
You have to spam up too since you're actually doing a jump cancelled up-smash so you need to input a jump. If you just hold up and spam A you'll get a shield grab
Thanks, man.
What about the taunting controls?
My favorite part of the game
I want to know how to cancel enemy grabbing you. Pls.
How did you get that on screen N64 controller?
It's editted i think, the only way to get it on there when streamers and speedrunners do it is having a second camera they set up facing their hands.
Sorry if i'm wrong feel free to correct me.
@@jazzabighits4473 I'm 11 months late but it's an input viewer... it's not edited it's a box you plug your controller into and it reads the inputs and you view them on your PC
@@yephez oh ok thanks for explaining, and bbetter than 3/4 years late lol
where do you get your emulator and your ssb64 rom? I just cant findanything that works.
hope you reply :)
Check the "Playing Online" tab here for emulator and rom information: (smashboards.com/threads/smash-64-index-read-here-first.350305/). I can't really condone you downloading roms though since it's illegal ... (but I assume you're asking just out of curiosity!)

People dont realise smash 64 shouldnt be called super smash brothers it should be called super tilt brothers or super gimp brothers or super combo brothers. Smash moves aren't chargeable and due to higher hitstun are extremely punishable. It's all about tapping people softly to gimp them or get them into 0 to death combos as far as I'm aware (I've played for years and have been to low level competitions, but I'm nothing like Isai or Superboomfan). Even in pro things when they use something like falcon punch or a forward smash everyone cheers or the commentators mention it as a hard read because it's such a risky thing to do as opposed to a simple spike (no meteor cancels in SSB64) or anything of the sort
Because Sakurai didn't thought of that idea yet,thats why he made sequels so that he can ''update'' the game,he thought that its already okay that the smash attacks wont be chargeable because its already strong enough to knock out enemies at 60% or higher.
I recommend everyone look around town at your local retro gaming shops for n64 controllers. I've found 3 great controllers in the last couple years. Also got 2 out of state while on vacation. Their great investments.
+Chillest Bread That can be a great way to find controllers. You just have to be really clear that you want originals only, no third party controllers or originals with third party sticks. Sounds like you've done well for yourself in that department!
yeah nothing but original, my local shop always trys to redirect me towards the 15$ knock offs, never buy them, period. lol
Imagine being able to play online. That would be a dream come true
Oh have I got good news for you my friend. docs.google.com/document/d/1asbuKPAhHUGWgbJtLg7RJI5Hl_yDTJBlrpEQkgkgvkg/edit
Holy shit no way
If you move your stick up slow enough u can up tilt without jumping, not even slowly really
so how long would u say this would take to master all these techniques?
The techniques in this video or the techniques in all my videos? Trick question since the answer is the same: you will never master the techniques for smash. The journey for perfection is itself the destination
No but to get good at short hopping, z-cancelling, tilts, and pivots you could get really good at them in a few months but you will have to relearn small things while you learn combos pretty much for the rest of your life
what is the website shown at 1:31 ?
Smashboards, the premier 64 forum for the west. Check out (smashboards.com/forums/super-smash-bros-64.11/) for the 64 section
i've searched all over the net to no avail. i want to learn how to do them. for example F. punch to falcon dive or kongs punch to his up B.
collwatt I plan on making a recovery video soon. The goal would be to discuss mindset and option counting as well as character specific mechanics. Hopefully this is the kind of things you're after. If you'd really like to learn right away, send me a PM and we can talk
please dude! answer me, what exactly I have to do when yoshi swallow me? to crack the egg fast?
marrampone check 10 min into part 3
haha jokes on you i play on keyboard and have learned to always press a buton or waste my jumps before up tilting or doing upkicks with fox haha, thanks for the video!!, even after all this years is amazing
How and why do you not have more subscribers?
I can’t tap grab accurately. Any tips? (I tap A and then R)
Is this a typo for "jab grab"? If so, remember that only four characters can jab grab: ness, pikachu, mario, and luigi. Once you're playing one of them, make sure you're standing still next to your opponent and press A and R almost at the same time, just A slightly before R. There's very little time between the two button presses
@@NateLTomBombadil Okay sounds good! I'll try that. Thanks so much for the tips by the way. It's so helpful.
as a Luigi main, what can I do about Fox's up air? i fight well with other characters but Fox has this stupid up air the can hit me when I'm under him?! come on! then it leads to more up airs and a kill. I am afraid to attack Fox in the air and I use a lot of air attacks with Luigi, that seems to be his best option to stay in the air. but Fox forces me to stay on the ground and only option is to attack him from the sides. I can't up smash or up tilt under him or I get hit with that up air. i basically get my butt kicked in a Luigi vs Fox match up and have to switch to yoshi and take advantage of his super armor.
Well first off, if we're simply comparing hitboxes, Fox is far superior to Luigi. Knowing this, the question isn't, "what attack will beat Fox's uair?", but "how should I play around Fox's uair?". Your goal is not to find at attack which will allow you to stand your ground and beat Fox hitbox for hitbox. Your goal is to learn your opponent's habits and then put yourself in situations where you can punish. For example, if Fox is constantly approaching with SH uairs, don't try to beat it with a utilt. Instead, go for a pivot > dash grab or rush him before the aerial comes out and go for a quick uair of your own.
In general, getting good at a character doesn't just mean learning abusive hitboxes and practicing some combos (although those things are important). It's all about being completely comfortable with all of your movement options and ending lag so that you can move around the map fluently. If you have complete control over your character, you can instead focus on reacting to your opponent and finding windows where you can get in without relying only on strong hitboxes. Movement is the most under-practiced and yet one of the most important parts of the game.
Nate L thank you, I'll try to stand under Fox and then pivot away and dash and grab him. and I'll watch a few of isai's matches with him as Luigi or mario against a fox and see if I can see other options too.
I'll be honest with you, Isai doesn't always play "well". He's so good that he can use options which aren't ideal but uses follow-ups and tech chases so creatively that they still work. I'd recommend watching a variety of players to get a sense for what works for a more "normal" player: (vods.co/smash64?char%5B%5D=7012&event=All&top8=All). Also, Ruoka Danchon is a great Luigi player so be sure to check out his matches.
This is sort of irrelevant to advanced techniques or to Smash even. But my brother got me a new controller, and it is hard to use. Especially compared to our old controller. It feels like someone had poorly painted the controller and it is awkward to hold. It is a new controller. Like it just came out of the box yesterday, and I was wondering how I could get used to it quickly. It really makes playing this game weird and difficult. Normally I would not mind the difficulty, but I cannot even turn around easy enough to grab someone who is behind me.
+NekoNintendoGaming It's a third party controller, meaning not made by Nintendo. They will never feel the same as official controllers :(
My older step brother destroys me, and I love this game more than the other three at our house. When we play I win a few matches but just not enough to satisfy me
+Shenzy Brosee Time to start taking it more seriously!
Nate L yeah, and you know what, your tips are working! I'm am starting to get waaayyyy better, thanks a ton man :]
Glad to hear it, keep practicing, thanks for the comment
How to do the super smash? I skipped that part in tutorial.
It doesnt exist in this version of the game it only exist in the other sequels of the game
Hey Nate, good video, it helped me a lot. What does it take for a player to be considered competitive? I mean, of course he gotta play and know the game a lot, but if we do not consider that what else does it take? On another comment i already said that I consider my self probably the highest level a casual player can get (here is some random combos footage I recorded: th-cam.com/video/bU9AMpeUSUw/w-d-xo.html of course I could've recorded real matches against someone, but sadly I have no one to play with me (and online play for me is not that accessible rn, so instead I recorded some combos I randomly created), and of course if I wanted to get to competitive levels I'd have to practice infinitely more. I have watched Isai and other players like superboomfan and I know they're at the top level of skill in SSB64. On that skill tier list in your video I think I would fit Level 3 (A). Would be nice to know your opinion on this... Thanks :-)
Really interesting question. First off, cool combos! Are you really playing on a phone!?
Obviously this question can get philosophical and contentious pretty easily. Despite that, I'll answer and say: a competitive player is someone who can fluently SH, Z-cancel, and tilt and incorporates fast falling and pivots in their movement and teching and OoS options in their defense. These techniques are sort of the fundamental language of the game. Without them, you really are playing a different game (perhaps called "casual smash"). Once you are fluent with these techniques (meaning you just use them without thinking, not that you never mess them up) you can start focusing on the actual game: combos, DI, spacing, stage control, matchups, reads, baits, etc.
My own personal experience starts similar to many, many other players: I was one of the best players I knew and thought I had mastered the game. When I lost to another casual player from a different friend group, I started researching the best players in the game and ended up getting online set up. I got absolutely blasted and had to take some time off to mentally process my shifted worldview as a result of this experience. I came out of that reflection deciding that I would get good at the game. At first, I became worse (in terms of results). This was because I wasn't get fluent with the introductory advanced techniques like SHing and z-canceling. I was spending so much mental effort trying to perform the techniques that my movement was slow and predictable and players who I would never lose to before suddenly had a chance against me. I suppose based on my definition I was neither a competitive nor a casual player at that moment. Once I mastered those advanced techniques (this took me a long time btw), I could begin actually learning the game again. I still couldn't dominate casual players even with my newly won skills. It was another significant period of time until I was focused on my opponent and their options at the same level of concentration that I used to when I was a pure casual (actually playing the game again). At this point, I believe I was a competitive player.
Hit me up if you ever want to play online. For me, it's been the #1 most effective way for me to improve alongside going to tournaments (I say this begrudgingly due to my desire to just sit in training mode all day and level up that way). I don't know where you live but there might be some nearby online players even if there's no server.
@@NateLTomBombadil Actually in Brazil... It's trash in here, ppl dont even know what a N64 is lol. And if if there was ppl to play, they would still have to learn the basics (Usmash, DownSmash, etc). What makes online play not accesible for me is that all servers are located on another place (out of Brazil) and that makes my inputs get too much delay (about 10 frames or so). But hey! Thanks for the answer, your probably one of the nicest guys I ever had the pleasure to meet :) Why did you stop with the videos, they were so cool!! Once again, thanks for all those explanation man, cheers

+Omuk Just part 1 bro. And tilt positions are central to the hardest techniques (ff uairs, dropzone dairs, pivot utilts, etc.)
I'm having great difficulty connecting my Up Airs into fast falls, I main Falcon, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it, I can get it every 1 out of 15 or so tries, but I need it to be consistent. Anyone know a good drill to practice or something?
+pieluver241 Sorry man, for some reason I'm only just seeing this now. I assume you mean you are having a hard time doing a fast fall and then uair and not uair and then fast fall. The drill I use to practice that is to start on the top platform of DL, run off it, and then fast fall so that I land in between the top and side platforms but on the ground. This is good to practice all your FF aerials this way since it's very realistic to do in a lot of matchups for Falcon. Then of course the goal is to uair without jumping. It's pretty hard at first but you'll get the hang of it. As a point of interest, Stranded (a highly technical Falcon player from the East coast), can FF uair from the side platforms!
Here's another drill which is combo oriented as opposed to movement oriented (like the one above): Falcon on Link: usmash, uair, ff uair. Since Falcon generally does 2 upsmashes against non-floaties (DK, Link, Falcon, Fox) and then easily links it into 2 uairs (first one rising, second one falling off a single jump), doing only 1 upsmash at 0% means that you have to FF to get the second uair. Try it on the different characters I just mentioned
Perhaps you've mastered this by now since by comment is 4 months late but maybe it will be useful to other people
Thanks for the response dude! I ended up mastering FF U-Air's, F-Airs, Reverse B'Airs, and D-Airs with a chain of Grab-> F-Throw-> Running Usmash-> Jumping F-Air-> FF (insert move here) on Yoshi. Works great! Since I posted this, I've mastered every Tavo, Mariguas, Boom, Stranded, Madrush, Isai, and Clubbadubba combo that I've found! Maybe I'll catch you at Apex soon, haha!
A fresh update! Just started fast falling Reverse F-Airs into combos! I'm coming for all of you haha.
Sounds great man. Make sure to get online or meet up with some high level players so that you can practice spacing too!
It'll be difficult because of my location, but definitely man. Thanks again for the help and have a great one.
I never realized I was such a casul
Are you using an emulator? if so which one?
PJ64k. Read the "Playing Online" tab here for more info: (smashboards.com/threads/smash-64-index-read-here-first.350305/)
Thanks for the speedy reply. was using the original pj64 emu and hated some of the graphical issues.
also i got a week to learn smash 64 and compete in a small tournament. your videos have been invaluable. looking forward to playing online and doing even more.
Good luck, hope it goes well
Everytime I up tilt, My character does a power attack. I am playing with a gamecube controller
Playing on emulator? You might have a bad range value. Check here: docs.google.com/document/d/1QxfE1XhHleXubWEyOuEd2aPLpAMqsUDiyr3eBv3DmGo/edit
Nate L VC on Wii
I don't actually have experience with this but everyone who I've talked to has strongly discouraged playing that way. If you're interested in taking this game seriously, I'd recommend getting an enumulator/console. Good luck with whatever you choose
Nate L Thanks! I have an N64 in my closet untouched. I will buy the cartridge version and practice there. I feel that the GC controller is too sensitive for SSB64. It works perfectly on Brawl and Melee
Why 6 years ago dude
Thank you i cant get past the fucking practice modes in ssb64
My new goal is to whoop my uncles ass who happens to be the best casual player around probably the cliche player you spoke of in the intro.. However I realized I suck ass so it's gonna take awhile lol
Why is the samus boss so hard even at super easy
Or is that bec my fox is the worst thing in the world or
Is the samus spamming
Definitely the 2nd one
Anyways have a good day
Use kirby
Nothing On how to D.I ?!
+matthew goncalves No, this video is too good: (th-cam.com/video/YhXxBoWtb_k/w-d-xo.html)
But I ended up including a section on it in my overview since everybody asks about DI for some reason: (th-cam.com/video/bxQp7TyKuBs/w-d-xo.htmlm52s)
Also, I made this vid awhile back: (th-cam.com/video/z2AMwg-oSVo/w-d-xo.html) but it's aimed at players who are already familiar with the concepts (I made it to contribute to a discussion on smashboards)
Thanks man, me and my buddies still play Smash64 and have gotten exceptionally good. Great videos.
+Nate “Tom Bombadil” L I thought that this game only had SDI and not DI
+TurbinationE Yeah technically that's what it is but everyone calls it DI (assuming you're talking about smash DI not shield DI). There have been arguments that it should be called PI for positional influence as that is closer to the truth but DI is such a common term that we just use it
Nate L Positional Influence sounds better to me. It's a better description of the mechanic.
How does it feel when you upload a video about a 20 y.o game 2 years ago and you have to keep replying? ^^
Pretty good, the game is growing so I'll help however I can
I love the dedication
Heh. "Titls"
titls haha good vid
Anyone near middlesex county in mass wanna play?
+Adam Henderson I'm sure there are lots of people: smashboards.com/threads/ssb-player-location-world-map.335052/
Good luck!
+Nate “Tom Bombadil” L thanks for the info! One more question though, how do I find local tournaments to play in like what's a good resource?
The best way is to just get involved with the community by messaging local players. Check out the 64 section of smashboards.com. Also, anyone who lives on the east coast should get online and you can play really high level players at all times (and anonymously if you wish). Here's a link to the index with information about playing online: smashboards.com/threads/smash-64-index-read-here-first.350305/
+Nate “Tom Bombadil” L thanks! I'll definitely try and get online. My local store does have a couple of smash 64 players but they don't hold tournaments.
+Nate “Tom Bombadil” L hey, I've got the emulator but I can't find the online rom (u !) but I have been practicing the new controller and everything on an offline rom, do you have a link to the online one?
Spanish 😟😟😢😢😢
