As an avid Smash 64 player, I think this is the best TAS play-arounds I have seen for this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DONfa9_EeA

Hello I am looking to do a comparison of the VC and N64 versions of SSB because in N64 you can finish the announcer screen faster by mashing. I have already measured in mupen the N64 version. The only wads of ssb that you can run in dolphin i have found are injects. If anyone has any idea about how to find out how many frames with perfect mashing(start on 1 frame, a on next screen) it takes to skip the announcer please let me know via a response here or pm. Thank you for your time and sorry about the necro

There are Genuine WADs out there for SSB. You just have to look around for them... I enjoyed watching some of those playarounds. I hope that another shows up! Also, has JP Kirby been tested over US Yoshi already yet?

http://www.twitch.tv/pikashy/c/3850982 brace yourself for the horrible sound Kirby has taken the record in the fastest category on US N64. I think JP would be faster as well for the more agressive(in a general sense) AI

What are the core differences between J and U version outside of text for this game?

A couple characters are changed quite a bit between J and U (namely Link getting nerfed). http://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_regional_version_differences_%28SSB%29

A lot of those differences are inaccurate or plain wrong. Especially the tier discussion :)

Wow,the wiki is wrong,that's a lil shocking...would you mind commenting the changes or do you have a link for correct info?
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

I've basically got the hang of TASing with two players (bare bones basics, mind you) and I've done SOME artful TASes of Pikachu VS Mario, Kirby VS Link and Mario VS Donkey Kong, but not anything professional, just test runs for practice. Anyways, what I need to know is how many frames it takes before a character can attack, move or block again so the whole thing doesn't look like a sausage fest of dumbfuckery. I'd count it all myself but I suck dick at math and I'm still a novice with TASing. So any help is appreciated! Thank you

Do you use BizHawk to play and record SSB64 videos? Have you figured out how to use the Cheats menu to effectively start the game with all of the characters? If so, please please PLEASE help me out. So I've spent about 5 hours trying to figure this out. Here are the steps I taken to try and do this myself. Gameshark code for all characters is 810A4938 0FF0. So I need to change address 0A4938 to have a value of 0FF0. I open up my N64 ROM. Open up cheats menu. Domain - RDRAM Size - 2 Byte Display As - Hex Change name to "All Characters" Change Address to 0A4938 Change Value to 0FF0 Compare - ???? no idea. same thing??? 0FF0 Not Big Endian so leave unchecked. Hit Add Save Soft Reset the N64 ROM by going to Emulation->Soft Rest. That is when the BizHawk freezes. It seems that BizHawk needs those first 40 frames to compile itself, or the ROM, maybe, and if that Address is set to a specific value on start up, it won't be able to compile??? I really have no idea, just spitballing. Has anyone used this set-up and figured it out. I would REALLY appreciate any help. Thank you
Please help me. I'm stupid.

In 5 hours of play, you could unlock all the secret characters :P Edit: You could also find an SRAM online with all characters unlocked. Edit 2: http://www.zophar.net/savestates/n64/super-smash-brothers.html

So I did that BUUUTTT i don't know how to save the ROM so that it loads with the characters? Which sounds pathetic that I don't know. Is it really easy?

Basically my problem is that when you record a movie, you HAVE to do it from "Power-On". If you record a movie from "Now", you cannot load the file. So I need to have all of the characters on start-up, which may not be possible with BizHawk. Can anyone confirm? I tried downloading Project64, but it looks like they don't have any "Frame-By-Frame" function or even recording function for that matter. So I downloaded Mupen64, but I can't find cheats for it and I don't feel like learning how to use a new emulator to make tas videos tonight.
Please help me. I'm stupid.

As I recently discovered, [3493] N64 Super Smash Bros. "Break the Targets & Board the Platforms" by Isotarge & Mittenz in 08:05.92 has been outdated for some time, but a new version hasn't been submitted yet because improvements continue to be found by KM. I figured giving a heads up here as well would be a good idea. The following spreadsheet contains a ton of useful information for the game, including all the current TAS and non-TAS records, and anyone interested in improving the current publication should make good use of it! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16tTT2RJ1Zyiw4njtUi-WUIAuTZZCv-_K0Ys728MqJhQ/

Just wanted to mention that a faster way to complete Race To The Finish with Kirby has been found. Could save about 4 seconds on https://tasvideos.org/2842M though it would be tough to get the RNG to line up I think. Updated strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw5WOLP5LU0&ab_channel=Gi%D0%B2%D1%8Fani This is being played on smash remix's bonus mode 3 where the enemy polygons are at a similar level of aggression to the Very Hard difficulty on 1p mode.
