Super Smash Bros on NA Virtual Console Today!

[BlackLightning90]

Gotta love L-Cancelling

 

[Shibbypod]

Sounds pretty amazing control wise. Yes it would be nice if they added melee functions from melee. But this is still a pretty cool thing!

 

[RedyBz]

Just played it....Gotta say it's friking awesome and it's even more with the gc controllers rofl...

 

[Grizzmeister]

I like using the GameCube controller better too. I have lots of mint condition N64 pads but the GameCube one just feels better for the Smash Bros. games in my extremely humble opinion.

I also think it's FANTASTIC that all the Smash games can be played on a single console now! It's just like when my friends get together to play the 4 main Mario Karts on the Wii we can also play all three Super Smash Bros. on that same system.

I just wanna enjoy discussions with my fellow smash players. ))))))))))))))

The original Super Smash Bros. on the N64 and now on the Wii VC isn’t as epic in scope as either Melee or Brawl but it’s still INCREDIBLY fun as a multiplayer game. That’s reason enough for every Brawl or Melee fan to play it at least once and for only 10 bucks the game is a mega bargain. Consider that the original SSB cartridges generally trade hands for around 20 dollars and you begin to realize what a sweet deal Nintendo is offering Wii owners.

Again, being able to finally play the original SSB with the same interface (the spectacular GameCube controller) as Melee and Brawl is simply icing on the cake.

Last but not least, there’s talk that the Virtual Console version of SSB does not suffer any slowdown in 4-player mode. That in my mind makes it the definitive version that any self respecting Super Smash Bros. fanatic, such as myself, should own.

you're not a real smash fanatic if you don't think the original smash bros is better than melee or brawl.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Imainlowtier]

my bro says i'm a tool because i play 64
and 64 > GC for this gaem, the only reason I'd buy it on the wii is because I don't have a PC adapter to record so if I ever got a cc

tl;dr
n64 pad > gc pad

 

[NixxxoN]

Fixed that for you.

Melee is overrated.

 

[dch111]

There are some things I like about Melee. Like how every one of Marth's aerials looks like a work of art. Link in 64 didn't satisfy my cravings for sword duels.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

N64 is amazing but I won't say it's better than melee but it's a game you can't bash from the smash games it's much better than brawl and I prefer melee's speed and C-stick yes I roll that way.

I think melee isn't overrated if anything I think underrated. melee is just barely better than 64

 

[Skrlx]

Fixed that for you.

nope. smash 64 is better than melee

 

[ETWIST51294]

LOL BULL****. Whats better about it?

 

[SheerMadness]

You guys aren't going to get anywhere arguing opinions.

I like melee and 64 pritty evenly and have been playing them both competitively for about the same time period.

 

[ETWIST51294]

I feel Skrlx was trolling anyways.

 

[DMoogle]

If Melee had the online capability that SSB currently has, I wonder how much more/less I would like it...

Brawl is underrated (at least in this forum). Take that, jerks.

 

[ETWIST51294]

Brawl's pretty bad >_>

 

[Skrlx]

smash 64 = combo power house
melee = combos but when compared to smash 64 it's laughable at best.
brawl = unfortunately, no combos.

I play Melee too and I think Smash 64 > Melee

 

[ETWIST51294]

But in melee you have to read peoples DI to continue a combo. It's whatever, I like 64 players and I hate arguing with y'all. It's all opinion.

There's DI in smash 64, people read DI in order to continue combos too.

 

[ETWIST51294]

There's only SDI, right? I can't remember.

I've just started getting back in to 64.

 

[Skrlx]

There's smash DI, slide DI, and there's quarter-circle DI for MAXIMUM DI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX2fLmTqQM4)

 

[ETWIST51294]

What is slide DI?

And Quarter Circle DI is in melee but I never understood it.

 

[DMoogle]

I might be wrong, but I think slide DI = quarter-circle DI.

 

[Grizzmeister]

Because the word “I” does not exist

Is this thread about Super Smash Bros. finally being available on the Virtual Console or about which version in the series is the best? I suspect it doesn’t really matter which version got you interested in the series or personally prefer as long as you show each iteration the respect it so richly deserves. The original game is great fun and has enough diversity in character selection to offer most players an option that suits their style. It’s also nice to see how the series got started to fully appreciate how far it has come.

Here’s a video of the great Bruce Lee explaining how a Smash Bros. fight should really be played.

[Imainlowtier]

At the very least it got released
so we can get a bigger fanbase

I'll try to do some equivalence

SSB64 = Home Alone 1 = The original, the one and only, the best
Melee = Home Alone 2 = great but its still a modified version of the original
Barwl = Home Alone 3 = Wow, it suxorz.

 

[Wal-Marth]

Melee is overrated and Brawl underrated, I agree on that.
smash 64 being in the vc is cool and I think that summarizes the topic.

 

[Qnez]

Melee is overrated and Brawl underrated

This. Al through all 3 are still one of my favorite games.

 

[ETWIST51294]

You guys still aren't telling me HOW Melee is overrated.

 

[NixxxoN]

IMO it took out a lot of the good things of ssb64, and you need insane finger skills to do well competitively.

wat

that says nothing about why people think Melee is overrated.

 

[ETWIST51294]

They only took about some hitstun(good thing for some people bad for others) and the massive amount shieldstun.

 

[Yonder]

I'm fine with people who like Melee over Brawl, it just bugs me though when they baash brawl more and call it a bad game when it really isn't. Still a **** fun game. All the smashes are.

 

[nyc_tag$]

Can you Z-Cancel with the L trigger on the GameCube controller??

 

[ETWIST51294]

I think so.

 

[Grahf]

with the use of homebrew hacks...is there a way to install mupen64k and have it connect online with pc users...anyone in the community even tinkering with this yet
