29:34 the best Rest punish I've ever seen lol

[@moom81]

23:02 link and samus play catch

[@arandomperson12345]

Damn, Kurabba's Ness is like something out of a TAS nightmare... THAT is the potential that I'd dreamed the DJC characters could have for a decade or so after watching Jpleal's "Perfect Ness" and "Perfect Yoshi" videos.. so long as someone were talented enough: crushing pressure in neutral and a touch of death like nothing else in 64. Makes sense that a Yoshi main would be the one to really refine the technique to its pinnacle. Props to both of them, though! Love seeing 12 char battle - imo it is the true test of mastery of this game, and as shocked as I am to see Isai lose one of these, he put up a hell of a fight.

[@12monkey57]

Kurabba’s ness was filthy lol

[@rsmage1219]

Let us not forget. Ness was in the same Tier as Pikachu and Kirby on the first SSB 64 Tier List ever made. :) Here Kurabba reminds us why :)

[@jamesnubz]

man I said this to my FGC friends. Smash 64 is the closest to and actual fighting game smash has ever gotten. Its fucking wild to me

[@Thatsadarkhorse]

I tend to agree with that

[@nathanl8769]

While I disagree. I'd love to hear why you think that

[@Stefinater]

41:18 An ACTUAL "frame trap" with that d-air > jab lol

[@jamesnubz]

@@Stefinater thats just one example of many. there are frame traps in this game.

[@jamesnubz]

@@nathanl8769 im so glad you asked. So i come from a more FGC oriented background. While i do play melee as well, i mostly play 3S, MvC1 XMCOTA etc. I could tell from just looking that 64 is different from other smash games. It is the ground work for the future entries in the series. but something about how it is played and observed is something so vastly different from the other games. in 64, it feels like the players are generally about to play good footsies. Every hitbox and position on screen is made with caution and purpose. It feels more akin to actual fighting game footies than anything else, once a player gets their punish, they can go in with their confirms and BnBs thats another thing. In FGs; most if not all of the games have basic bread and butter combos. 64 seems to have a whole kitchen worth of BnB combos for the whole cast. Not to say the latter games dont have BnBs, but they aren't that extensive as in 64. This game has, frame traps, guard breaks, etc. much like traditional FGs. You can kinda tell that this game has alot of traditional FG DNA. From the way it moves and plays, to the way nooch is played as well.

[@King_SPL]

These players are both BEASTS, wow!

[@im_Spade_]

Isai's Link is such a pleasure to watch. Idk how he does it

[@sam_ac_smith]

I feel like he only got into his flow with Link when he was on his last stock. I always think of his GF set vs. superboomfan on Hyrule Castle whenever his Link comes out.

[@MattNF]

Isai's Link got completely shit on this game though? Maybe you're confusing him with Kurraba

[@kevinalbarn120]

All these battles are insane 🤯

[@pepetonygarlan4965]

isai didnt play like himself, was more defensive than agresive and dropped combos and confirms, even some z cancels. Still kurabba played like a beast, didnt knew he had a pro level entire roster, since he only uses joshi. Amazing set.

Gotta love hearing from the announcer "12 Character YOSHI!"

[@vkermodekumav8949]

This mode is to awesome! I wish other games and tournaments untilized this rule! It get so stale seeing the SAME charaters played with every fight just because they have top stats! The fact these players have such a wide ser of skills per character is awesome!

[@leerollins7555]

Was history just made here? I have never seen Isai lose a 12 character battle, ever, against anyone

[@isaissb]

I don't play many console 12cbs, mostly online against players I can get decent delay with. Out of the few console 12cb I've played, I know I've also lost to Jouske in 2013 and kysk in 2019.

[@leerollins7555]

Dope man. I know Alvin came really close back in 2018 or whenever. Good fight and good night regardless

[@tiporosso]

@@isaissb Hi Isai, I think many people would be interested in seeing you stream playing, reacting to the doc, etc. Good games!

[@stephenwatson2964]

This is Isai's second ever loss of a 12 character battle. The first was to Jouske, a Japanese Samus main and one of the best Japanese players ever. He's never travelled outside Japan unfortunately.

isai beating kurabba in pika vs yoshi again!

[@Thatsadarkhorse]

Almost the only matchup he won in this 12cb. I don't want to make excuses because I can't read minds, but Isai seemed tired and not super into the whole thing. Don't want to take away from kurabba though bc he is amazing and won the 12cb round Robin in japan

I never noticed this 12 character Battle mode when I was a kid.

[@fabianzolezzirioja9191]

That's because the cartridge used here was modified! They use those in some tournaments to make some small quality of life changes. You can tell because Link is among the playable characters and there's no spongebob living in the pineapple under Dreamland. Hope this helps!

@@happywheeler4268 that's just how fighting games go tbh, there are gonna be top tiers that top players will gravitate to. That's like asking in 3rd Strike "man I really hope rom hackers make Sean more viable" (yea I know 4rd Strike exists but) the general 3S community knows Sean is bad, but that's ok, the generally wouldn't wanna change the game and buff or nerf characters.
