Right now, I'm playing Smash 64 on Wii64 (only way to use a GC controller) and I'm wondering if there's any way I can cut some of the lag that I keep getting.

I don't think I can, but it's worth asking.

Noobish question, but just what is the deal with all these ixis on kaillera? there're about a hundred and six of them, they're all quite good, and they're always there. Is it a clan or something? why is nearly every good person in it?

You can get a .wad file and install it as a channel that works perfectly. You'll have to look up how to do it yourself though.

And I think it is coming out on North American VC like this week anyway, if it isn't out already.

You must be playing different people than I am, or on a different server.

 

[Battlecow]

Lol, I should have clarified:

They're all very good compared to me

most of the people who kick my butt (60% or more) are iXis

 

[DMoogle]

iXi is one of the oldest surviving clans on Galaxy 64 and Emularena. They also, IMO, have consistently had the worst ratio of douchebagsool people compared to any other smash clan I know of (however, not all iXi members are douchebags).

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

History coming

Basically...what it used to be was that you were either in iXi or you weren't in any clan.

iXi eventually split down into iXi (with ^'s above the i's) for the admins and top people, and iXi for all other members...and into SG and similar clans. PPS came out and other clans, many of which are dead today (such as MC, which was Isai/Malva's clan)

The rest of the people who use iXi, PPS, or other tags (like SG) are just due to tradition

 

[Lovage]

did malva start MC?

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

did malva start MC?

If I am not mistaken, it was Malva and Johnny combined, similar to how Boom and Fire started PPS.

[SSBPete]

can someone please send me a link to a simple, if not the easiest 0 to death combo with fox. i never play fox so i need some practice. plus my bro bet me $5 that i wont be able to 0 to death with him by the end of the year.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Were there any conditions or limitations to the type of 0-death combos acceptible? If not, backthrow someone off of mushroom kingdom. instant win in the bet

What you could always do is the up-air infinite, then end it with a full up-air for the kill. Once you get the timing right, it's a very simple combo. But then again, DI removes it... so... depending on the conditions of your bet, that may not count either.

The easiest 'true' 0-death combo with fox would probably be a hyrule tent combo.

 

[SSBPete]

thanks for the advice, i'll look into a tent combo but i was thinking more something like uair - dair - utilt - dair - dtilt - dair - shine - jab - upsmash. <--- thats an example, i know its not a real combo.
i just need a link i can copy from.

 

[asianaussie]

If your brother can't DI, that combo'll work.

If he can, just go with a tent combo (grab > jab > grab > jab > grab > n-air off the tent > land on the left side > U-Smash), and don't take no for an answer when he complains that you're abusing the stage.

 

[Deleted member]

with your opponents back to a wall and he doesn't know how to DI good:

jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab (till killing percent) up smash

Tell me who the opponent character is and I'll give you a zero-to-death to practice on Hyrule.

What is the origin of "gimp" used in "gimp kill" or "gimping"?

Surely not from Pulp Fiction? doesn't seem related

 

[SSBPete]

isnt gimp just another insult? basically meaning cheap a$$ mutha ****er

 

[asianaussie]

gimp = low percent edgeguard kill.

 

[ciaza]

gimp = low percent edgeguard kill.

Does it have to be edgeguarding or can it expand into a brodaer category?

 

[dch111]

gimp = low percent edgeguard kill.

Yes, but what does it mean normally, outside of smash? where did it come from?

SSBPete, you sure? I never heard it used that way before.

ciaza, any low percent kill, which is usually from an edgeguard (suicides don't count). You can also gimp by doing a back throw on the sides of Mushroom Kingdom.

 

[asianaussie]

Go ask in the Melee threads? A lot of terms were coined during Melee's rise.

Aside from the Pulp Fiction definition, I've heard the word gimp used by smashers in place of the word 'own', 'burn' or 'school', as in the verb, like: "You just got schooled."

i heard the word gimp long before i played this game. its just an insult. it was probly first said by someone who got killed at like 40% and said "you gimp".

 

[Xivii]

Yes Pete is correct. Outside of smash it originally just meant 'a limp'. Then people started calling people who walked with a limp gimps. It then became used as an insult towards people who were weak (As people who walked with a limp were generally weak).

In other games (RP games) gimp is used to describe a weak item that is held by someone with a strong level. It is their gimp.

 

[dch111]

Ah, I see. Just never heard it before. Thanks.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Seems like it has had a meaning before smash, but the smash definition of 'gimp' is killing someone earlier than they would normally be killed. This is usually from getting edgeguarded.

I'm interested in this too.


What is Link's fastest out-of-shield attack? I'm guessing it's his up-B or jump/d-air, but not sure which.

Good question. I'm interested so I'll research it later.

According to Antd's attack start-up data ( http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p2VcZS6YDXFZBqNHNze3oUw&gid=2 ), upB has 9 frames while dair has 6 frames of start-up lag. So if you can get into the air within 2 frames, then jump-->dair is faster. If you can jump by 3 frames, they are equal. Otherwise, upB is faster. But I don't have any data on the pre-jump animations nor on what frame you can do a dair the earliest so...

 

[DMoogle]

Wow, I never realized there was a complete chart, I just remember seeing parts of it.

 

[dch111]

I found it while hardcore combing through posts, and out of good luck just happened to bookmark it. This forum has a long history and wealth of information, and most of it isn't indexed.

 

[remedys]

thats crazy. luigi has the fastest combined move start up time out of any character : O
