Yo guys I figure someone on here will know

I have a couple of CRT's, and when I plug in the n64 none of the channels show smash. I don't have remotes.

how do I like

get it to work

halp plz

 

[jimmyjoe]

Think maybe the rest missed Mario's hurtbox, and Mario's hitbox only passed over Jiggs' hurtbox during the invincibility frame.

 

[ballin4life]

@battlecow hit the "TV/Video button" or "Input" button on the remote. you want to be on something called "Input 2" or "Video 2" (the number might change)

Mario's top left hit box kind of blinks in and out, so it must have been fram perfect for the first hit, which was during jiggs' invincibility. jiggs hitbox for rest didnt reach marios hurtbox.

So what happened here?

It looks like the rest should have landed. Does mario's down b have invincibility frames?

Battlecow try hitting a menu button on your TV and looking through the settings for a way to set it to input. Or hit channel down past 0 maybe...

 

[Olikus]

thanks dude

nothin works tho

old technology sux

 

[jimmyjoe]

Some particularly poorly designed older TVs only let you get to the input via the remote.. Maybe try getting a cheap universal remote and programming it for your tv.

 

[Battlecow]

probably be cheaper and easier to buy a couple of new TV's, to be honest

thanks for the help tho

Planning on buying some controllers, anyone knows some "good" ebay seller?

I found this one, do you think it's safe?

And this one looks nice too... Basically everyone says their controller have tight sticks, but I'm still not sure if I can trust them all.

 

[Sangoku]

Thanks for the quick answer. I thought about the "find a decent controller and grease" method before trying to replace the joystick. Didn't Sheer say there was some deadzone difference?

At my point any ok sticks will be better than my current stick (it's loose by a centimeter or something lol), so I guess I'll just get a random ebay one. And if the stick sucks, I'll use it to train for greasing/replacing the stick since I suck so bad at doing these technical things.

 

[Timotheus]

make sure that the Controller has a official stick. some sellers tend replacing it with 3rd Party sticks but use random Pictures from the internet. world wide free shipping sounds really strange to me. you can also search for Controllers from great britain. These are the cheapest/best in europe for a round 15 euros a piece. never buy from german sellers! and don't Forget to grease before playing

 

[Olikus]

I think ive bought 5 from USA on ebay. 1 was okay, worn out kind of fast. 1 were good and 3 was like untouched extremely good. They all had the same description and same type of popular gold star sellers. So its kind of hard to know I guess.

 

[Sangoku]

Yeah that's the problem, we never know in advance =/.

Timo: why do you say I shouldn't buy from German sellers?

Hmm now I found a couple weird things: 1 and 2. They both say it's new... I wonder if that's even possible.

 

[Timotheus]

most german sellers tend to cheat with 3rd Party sticks. i asked everytime before bidding.
the description the Controllers you showed says they aren't new. just like new or near new. just sayin^^
to avoid those things only bid on Controllers with "tight Joystick" or "like new" in the despriction. and yes you can find new Controllers. many sellers from Japan sell them for 150€. that's really too much Money. i was really lucky. i bought mine on saturday. the guy had it in his Basement for a Long time.
here's a Picture http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Original-Nin...LL/$T2eC16NHJF8E9nnC6IGuBRRGLLBHtQ~~60_57.JPG

it says 59,99 DM. that's 30€ :D

 

[Ryu_Ken]

O.k. With link, I've done some matches, and MUs with c.falcon, jiggypuff, and ness are doable.
Now pikachu... Am I really screwed against pika? How can I avoid being in danger of getting nair chained off da ledge?

Looking to buy a computer to play ssb64 online. How terrible can said computer be and not ruin gameplay with lag? MHz? RAM? Hard drive capacity? Also, will it run on a Windows XP or do I need Windows 7?

 

[Cobrevolution]

my laptop is from 08/09. hp pavilion dv6. 4gb ram 2ghz processor. kaillera, pj64 and smash are like, <100 mb. i run on vista. but i have to turn the power option to high performance instead of power saver to run smoothly offline. online, i mean, my net is bad here at school but at home it's flawless. still get bits of lag here and there though.

 

[Yobolight]

Does this combo work in the American version?

[SilentShottt]

I'm looking for advice regarding DK tent combos.

I really want to minimize the amount of forward throws I utilize and I can't seem to get any solid combos down with just bthrow and aerials.

I'm sure getting in 3-4 back throws -> jump nair to main platform -> pivot grab bthrow, is a clean combo, and I can do it on occasion, but I've yet to conclude whether it works only on heavies / is damage specific. Any % data on this floating out there? :D

I could really use some help, I feel useless in the tent with DK

 

[asianaussie]

if you land a forward grab in the tent, move so you're facing right, with your back pressed against the left-side wall (regrab if necessary)

b-throw several times > jump u-air onto main play > u-smash/u-tilt will usually work, or just b-throw several times > walk forward u-smash on floatier characters

im only bringing this up again because i dont much read these forums anymore and i dont know what new bad arguments ballin has since become associated with

 

[ballin4life]

lol u mad bro?

constantly post about how bad you are, but one person makes a joke about it (incredibly mild one at that) and you get all testy. LIGHTEN UP. SMILE. BE HAPPY.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

^Best Reason:

 

[asianaussie]

i *guess* you could interpret that post as mad but i assure you sir i was also joshing

do i need to add an emoticon or something

 

[Olikus]

its allright aa. We'll take care of you.

 

[Yobolight]

Does Giant Punch have invincibility frames?

 

[M!nt]

maybe you should take your own advice ballin lol

 

[ballin4life]

but ... but ... he said my arguments are BAD

 

[M!nt]

Does Giant Punch have invincibility frames?

doesn't look like it.

 

[Yobolight]

Weird, the other day I PKT2ed into a giant punch and neither of us got hit.

 

[M!nt]

Was it on the ground? maybe that one does? idk

 

[Yobolight]

It was grounded.

 

[Cobrevolution]

i assume the punch landed but you still had invincibility frames but no attack frames.

it's just one of those weird occurrences. smash physics make no sense. i caught a falcon the other day as he falcon punched. the explosion came out and i was expecting to have gone to kingdom come but i had him in a grab.

 

[weedwack]

The hitbox for pkt2 lasts longer than the invincibility so you are wrong.

nothing else to add.

 

[Cobrevolution]

i stand corrected
