I just thought of something... why not have a 64 version of Genesis? If we get enough interest, we might be able to get people from around the world... well, at least around North America. We can have an American version event and a Japanese version event (provided we get japanese players).

The problem with our current 64 tournaments is that there's never enough interest to encourage the top players to attend. If we manage to do something like Genesis, we might be able to have the same effect.

It's worth a try...

You probably wouldn't get that much interest. It would mostly be nostalgics who played it when they were younger, but now play Melee.

Those introduced to the series with Brawl probably wouldn't come at all.

Plus, a lot of people who play at higher levels (or even just online) are European, or even Australasian.

what you need to do is read the "terms and advanced tech" sticky we have in the 64 section.

You also need to watch every single video of isai on his account at least 20 times over. Ive probably seen them all 20 times or more each. Bear in mind the japanese version is a little different (less DI, some moves are different) but the basics are the same.

Getting good at smash (for the average joe) takes years, and years, and years of practice. and by good I mean at a level where you can compete with the members that post here, not just being able to bash up noobs on EGX like xelphiros or whatever. Or you could pick kirby! kidding lol even if you pick kirby, if you have no mindgames and no techskill you will get 4-5 stocked.

So first off you have a bit of homework to do if you really want to take this game seriously. You need to smoke a joint and watch all of isai's videos (for starters) after you've done that, theres a few other players to watch for, namely prince, other godly japanese players, superboomfan and alancitu. Try to avoid watching combo videos because you NEED to see the application, but combo videos are really fun too, Prince has the best ssb64 combo video to date, and alancitu's movie is pretty epic as well.

http://www.youtube.com/user/MevseC ----> Isai's youtube account, he has a link to prince's channel posted there.

Next, to understand what the heck isai is doing (which I sometimes still don't) read the sticky's here and ask questions in our little ask a stupid question get a smart answer thread.

Then you're on your way to being good at smash. Hope this helped!

Um you forgot actually playing...

That would be mad cool but I don't think its possible. Most of the serious ssb64 players are online players. And most of them aren't serious brawl or melee players either so I'm pritty sure it would be a huge stretch to get them to spend a couple hundred dollars to travel to their 1st smash tourney ever. We also have no idea how to even get in contact with the Japanese ssb64 community. But you're right it doesn't hurt to try. Blue Yoshi why don't you make a thread seeing if the ssb64 community could get anywhere near enough interest to have 1 of these tourneys, pritty sure thats the 1st place to start.

 

[x After Dawn x]

No that would be Kirby

They both do, which is why they look similar. The difference between them is that Jigglypuff likes to perform ballet in her spare time while Kirby is giving blowjobs for tier placement bribery.

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

Why state the obvious?

but before playing it would be useful to learn how to play right, for example z cancelling and shorthopping to start, then on to the hard stuff.

I actually think a lot of 64 players also play melee. Not sure about brawl. What would be a better option is ask someone who is organizing a huge melee/brawl tourney if they can also do ssb64. I talked to the host of TSL (big tourney in the south of France) and he said he wanted to do melee+ssb64 at TSL5, because TSL4 will be the first melee+brawl tourney he organizes and he was disappointed by the, you know, brawl vs melee hate. Of course that would mean people from Canada and the US to travel to France, and also the Europeans itself (those who don't play melee seam to travel less easily lol). I don't think it's possible to do an offline intercontinental tourney, as I don't see myself travel to the US or Canada either. Definitely not if there's no melee.

We should try to get them to have it at Pound 4, the next big tournament.

It's always been a rule of not creating threads about specific members. It's pretty common on other forums too. I don't see anything strange about it.

never seen that method of mod **** before i thought it was a good thread until the annoying pictures and KIRBY!

Never seen it on any other forum. I think its a plain stupid rule if the thread doesnt disrespect or talk negatively about those specific members.

the rule thinks you're stupid too, but it doesn't question your existence!

if you are really having a hard time, simply look at MATTS! post within that thread...its best avoided

n64 purists will sadly never travel far to arrive to an n64 side event with 4 people and the great chance to win 17 dollars


There are also the 64 / melee or brawl players who play 64 and melee/brawl, but most aren't willing to travel more than the boundaries of their state due to laziness and suckage

others who travel anyways are too timid to join 64 even though I know a ****ton of Melee players who will kick the *** of "64 pros (not superboomfan, isai, ME (jk) ) if given proper teaching, what a waste

--

and that topic ruled, MATTS! post was awesome, what a shame

Yeah, I know M2K and PC Chris have played SSB64 and are surprisingly good despite the fact that they rarely play.

but still, we should try to get some 64 action going at pound4. if there was 64 at genesis I was going to go, but I decided not to since they wouldnt allow it. And Isai wasn't there anyway so it would probably have been just a bunch of noobs.

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

MATTS! won my thread before MIC_128 chased me to the ssb64 section and closed it! T_T

I hope they record more vids, too bad the topic died, in the case of that epic match it merits discussion.

I'll lie low on the thread making, i dont want mic_128 modding this forum ill get banned for never making any serious posts.

 

[malva00]

NOPE no more vids we were too lazy to record I guess but we did play a SECRET 12 character battle never to be seen by the PUBLIC and EPIC DK DITTOS too bad

 

[MattNF]

EPIC DK DITTOS

too lazy to record

 

[WOTG]

I'm going to have to agree with MattNF.

 

[x After Dawn x]

wtf, Isai. Seriously, wtf. You KNOW people like watching a ditto of the best char in the game.

 

[Frown]

Right now, my computer is downloading a 300 MB large patch for Call of Duty, while converting 1,5 GB of video, while updating my iPod library while playing music while I'm programming. I'm amazed it hasn't exploded yet.

 

[NixxxoN]

2500 vids of isai vs park on youtube, and isai vs superboomfan, only 5 recorded?

 

[malva00]

You should be happy there are 5 lol

There are 0 of isai vs jousuke and 0 of isai vs red mario even though I've played them more matches. It's worse cuz they were recorded but I wasn't in charge of the tapes wonder what happened to them <__< I recorded sossi and amasawa on my own tape (all four are from the same region)

There would have been more if my hands didn't get hurt; I couldn't play for long because of that except for the last weekend when they started to get better, but boom was sleeping most of the time then, cuz he was starting to get sick/had lack of sleep, and then finally got pretty sick on his last day here lol

 

[StinkomanFan]

That is the best cat ever.

Looks like it was a savage duel LOL
