Remembering the BROKEN Smash Games

Finding out what GimR stands for all these years later is kind of a surreal experience

[@BudewIsOwnage]

Pretty sure he changed it to GimR is my Rock recently after he changed his faith or something LOL

[@hmalba7864]

[@crungusbungus2519]

@@BudewIsOwnage if he changed it to GimR is my Rock doesn’t that make it a recursive loop?

[@JETNGS]

Legit mind boggling

[@trickytristan1]

I had a similar experience with finding out S2J stood for "Smoke2Joints" from an old promotional thing from one of the apex's

[@peanutinc.7670]

3:30 I've been told that, when asked why Kirby was so bad in Melee, Sakurai said that it was because fans of 64 kept claiming that Kirby was powerful because of favouritism, and some even confronted him about it. He made sure to make Kirby as awful as possible so that it would never happen again.

[@gettingdeletedlol]

And then it happened again with Meta Knight! that's funny--

[@matthewbartlett3442]

Rip to the fat pengu tho😔

[@MaybeMintz]

Z/L-cancelling was added because the devs wanted players to be able to use a defensive option really quickly after using an attempt. The original purpose was just shielding, but players realized if you tapped the button quickly, you would have the reduced lag but not be stuck in shield.

[@co5micwaffle742]

Sakurai made a post talking about L-cancelling in 64. It's to look cool. It's even called "smooth landing".

[@DaDylanMachine]

I unironically pop off everytime when I see a Coney video in my feed. This is my "before they got huge" channel I swear.

[@mako_panda_]

For real. His videos are always great.^^

[@matthiashopkins7502]

For Coney, Z-Cancelling is actually referred as a technique in the original Smash 64 manual also called smooth landing. This was implemented into Melee but there wasn’t any actual documentation into the game whatsoever on L-cancelling, so no it’s not am accident.

[@kiptelgat]

I didn't know that's the official name in 64, I guess it explains why the L-canceling item in smash 4 was called smooth lander

[@Creepooba]

9:08 I legit made an igloo during that blizzard. One of the most memorable moments I've ever had

[@IvanRevi]

hi creepooba it's zeb

[@matchasgotcha]

There's always that one guy who doesn't read the room and tries the grimiest strats during friendlies. I used to help run my university's Smash Club back in the Wii U days and one person would always choose Bayonetta. Would scare away newcomers who wanted to have fun

[@cuckhands]

What are your thoughts on footstool combos in Smash 4? Are they grimey or is it fair because Mario can Up-Tilt you like 6 times into 4 Up-Airs into Up-B?

[@TheRedCap30]

Should've challenged him to a Ganon ditto

[@jocyanide]

I think Z-cancelling was intended to make getting into shield after an aerial quicker, they just didn't expect people to press it and then not shield afterwards.

[@bureahuwaito]

Today is the day I learn what GIMR stands for

[@anonymous7024]

16:42 imagine not having a Wario Switch

[@EllieMiller510]

It’s funny to think all this stuff would’ve been patched out if it came out today. Glad we have the happy accident that is Melee

[@illford]

For smash 64 at least half of it was intentional

[@FYGUnkleUrple]

Lmao I remember that blizzard in Maryland, was living in Silver Spring at the time. Same mentality of “Yeah we’re not going outside for a week.” Also that fucking Lupe Fiasco “The Cool” just threw my head BACK in time.

[@saturn6277]

Yup I also remember that blizzard. I ran out of good food in 3 days, but it was a fun time.

[@nxxdle_]

blizzard of 09?

[@saturn6277]

I was thinking of the 2016 one I believe

[@FYGUnkleUrple]

@@saturn6277 2009, 2010. I just remember sleeping over and old friends house for a night then I woke up and had to somehow get myself back home cause we just moved in in August and the snow was up to at least my hips just walking through it.

[@NathanRW]

Smash 64 is fun, but it's also very difficult to play, as you're constantly fighting with the controls. It might even be better to play via an emulator where you can use a more modern controller. Most N64 controllers are pretty beat up so movement becomes difficult (because you probably destroyed the analog stick playing Mario Party lol). But it IS something I recommend trying out if you're a youngin' who wasn't around when it came out :) I still remember seeing the original commercial with the Turtles song playing, and I fell in love with the franchise after convincing my grandma to let us rent it back in 1999.

[@williamhowells806]

You can’t convince me that the Luigi infinite guy sounds like something m2k would do

[@Eldoofus]

It doesn't sound like M2K wouldn't do it if it's optimal

[@illford]

That infinite is exactly what M2K would do

[@Joshyboy225]

“Sakurai knew what he was doing” I always wondered what he did exactly for development. Did he tell them how to make the characters? I know he’s the main director but a lot of people think he does everything lol

[@tenacity25]

You know for a fact that he had more involvement in the earlier games than the later ones, though. So that's worth factoring in.

[@DavrK]

WHAT? GIMR STANDS FOR "GOD IS MY ROCK"? Thats the most shocking thing I got from this video holy shit thats insane

[@zernek9199]

I'm a zoomer and I played 64 as a kid and did not realize how high the hitstun was until I saw Heeew's video

[@doom3926]

Not gonna lie, my favorite thing about Smash 64 all these years later is how fucking dangerous it is. No air dodging, no spot dodging, you can get put in block-stun for like a thousand years before you can do anything else, grabs are insane, some moves do stupid amounts of knockback compared to the later games and all this and more creates a game where one mistake has a high chance of killing you regardless of your damage percentage.

[@jhozan]

2:30 If I were to guess its probably similar to L canceling, im 99% sure sakurai said in an interview that it was originally added to make the transition from aerials to shield faster.

[@pepabelle837]

Coney talking about Brawl Minus... I am in love, I play it and got into one tournament. Missed another but I'm a decent player. The game has changed a lot and I actually make a couple of TAS videos. The game is fun

[@NonRandomUser]

13:25 Can't spell "GrIMeloRd" without GIMR.

[@epicsause21]

I heard that Z/L canceling was added so if you miss an ariel, you can get into shield faster.

[@Coolio_Ash]

Man.... man. Hearing coney reminisce is so nice.

[@taylorbee4010]

64 has a Looney tunes meets pro wrestling vibe. Love it tbh lol. Busted frustrating, but fun and original game.

[@Xenonfuji]

Brawl minus was actually the first platfighter I played competitively. Modern brawl minus is very different from what is in this vid. For example wario is based around pressing buttons a second time to fart boost. Wario also has his full waft on up b, and normal full waft is replaced with a rolling crate which wario can ride on

[@SomniaCE]

10:00 there is a timeline where this become Smash's version of The Hateful Eight

[@wafflypower]

I didn't even know gimr was an acronym

[@marshmallowdoom7720]

64/ Remix is my favorite smash game. I got into it within the last 3 months. So much fun but it is stupid broken.

[@King_of_the_Shrooms]

I have played every installment in the Smash-Series, and Even tho i am not a Pro, i feel That every smash has its Kind of charm to it. Smash 64 with its Doll-graphics and OGs, Melee With its Brutal engine and speed, Brawl and its story Mode/(i really enjoy Brawl Doubles), Smash 4 With Miis, amiibos and Unbalanced trash (my Cousin and I used to Play Random with Costum moves and Badges, and it was hilarious.) and Smash Ultimate With its Amount of Chars and Spirits and World of Light

[@charl2182]

3:19 yeah here's the timeline: Sakurai makes his character, Kirby, good in Smash 64 then makes Kirby awful to lead people off the trail then he makes Meta Knight OP in Brawl then again, doesn't make any of his characters super good in Smash 4 but then in Ultimate he's back with Palutena.

[@MrTraydozer]

As a smash 64 player, thank you.

[@gilolaes4725]

Given Sakurai's more recently discovered love for fighting games like Fatal Fury, I have to believe L and Z Cancelling were just him wanting to add random tech into Smash for fun.

[@Crowded.]

There ain't no way GimR stands for "Godismyrock" I am actually in denial rn

[@byrontheusurper6505]

64 looks wild! Only played that game once...

[@BlisteringBlue42]

Seeing Luigi move around in the air like that is so weird considering his air mobility is hot garbage in the unmodded smash games.

[@CriIp]

3:43 the only people i played with played kirby, and i was the only one who played other characters

[@shardofkingdoms9816]

The fact that Isai is still winning tournaments is nuts

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

Reminds me of someone who I went over to their house and played them in starcraft, and he got SO MAD when he just couldn't win. He would give up so easily too, the moment anything bad started happening to his base or if he lost a few units he would just give up. The guy was just so mad at himself and started yelling so loudly at himself, kept repeating things like "I SUCK" "IM THE WORST PLAYER EVER" things like that over and over, made things so awkward, I had to just leave at some point after he had a particularly nasty tantrum after one game. Like what dude lol

[@BigSleepy985]

My money is on Poyo being the Luigi that kept doing the infinite
