[TAS] GC Super Smash Bros. Melee "Classic Mode" by Noxxa in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4185M.html. TAS originally published on 2020-05-15.
Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. fighting game series is rather different from your typical fighting game. Instead of wearing your opponent's health down to 0, you must knock him or her out of the battlefield. Damage counts upwards, with knockback from attacks that hit you becoming more severe as your damage increases. Fighting controls are also simplified, making it very easy for even your non-gaming friends to pick up and play.
Super Smash Bros. Melee offers fighters from the wealth of Nintendo characters like Mario, Bowser, different Pokémon, Link, and Kirby. They can either fight through the single-player modes like Classic, Adventure, and Event Mode, or they battle it out against other characters in a four-player frenzy.
Additional characters and stages are unlocked as hidden objectives are met, and coins rewarded for playing in all modes can be spent on a capsule toy machine. The toys in the machine represent games from Nintendo's entire video game history, and each can be viewed in 3D with a brief description.
In this TAS, Noxxa (tasvideos.org/Noxxa.html) plays through the game's Classic Mode on the hardest difficulty, aiming to defeat every opponent in the most entertaining way possible. This often leads to some surprising solutions.
Note: The encodes also feature playing through the credits sequence as well as the "Challenger Approaching" fight against Jigglypuff.

Wow, a TAS that's longer than the credits.

Ugh. The "stale moves", "missed grab", and "cheap shot" penalties taught me some awful habits playing melee casually.

"Wow, incredible!" He's not wrong.

Surprised to see it's not mugg1991 or gamerfreak5665 in this video. Overall, great TAS! Thank you, Mothrayas for going for swag instead of speed. ♡

This isn’t TAS, this is just regular melee.

Fantastic job, this is super impressive!

Why must you do Zelda like that?

the falcon fight was the correct thumbnail for this video. watching it again since the submission thread and WOW.

[@Akay4444444444444444]

Yoshi wanted revenge for not having a dedicated Adventure Mode level. So he decided to make all of Classic Mode his level

[@XanthinZarda]

Melee seems so quaint now, to see it in motion. How flat the moves feel, what little impact there is to anything, the droll sound design...and yet there were scores of people willing to defend this for over a decade.

[@Nefaisquepasser]

I thought he wouldn't make the targets but did anyway, like the race to the finish. I miss this game, but it's really like watching a normal speedrun, but without Fox or Kirby.

Zelda's moans as she experienced that combo!

I really miss L-cancelling. Autocancels will never emulate or provide the same sensation of control you had over what you were doing.

[@jadeaaron2003]

Probably not

[@meta04]

I mean, it always does if you do these specific frame-perfect inputs from power-on with the version this TAS uses. In the words of kzbin.info/www/bejne/m36bi2ybYryifNU, "How many frame-perfect inputs can you do in a row on two controllers at once?"

[@PokeMaster22222]

1:43 Ahh...there's nothing like needlessly beating on a helpless woman, to put her in her place... In other, less sarcastic, words - I'm sure you didn't need to go to 484% to KO Zelda. The Hammer + Cave thing was just overkill.
