[TAS] N64 Super Smash Bros. by DennisBalow in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2842M
TAS originally published on 2015-05-13
Super Smash Bros. began a series of games that mixes characters from several Nintendo-made games into a unique fighting game. It relies not on wearing down the opponent's "life" but increasing damage until he or she can be literally knocked off the stage. Wildly popular, this game has inspired many lazy days of casual multiplayer gaming but also intense competitive tournaments that happen to this day.
This is the first speed-oriented TAS of this game to be published here. DennisBalow ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/D... ) shows off super fast gameplay with Kirby on the hardest difficulty. The Japanese version was used for even faster attacking and movement speed.
We also have a Fox run ( tasvideos.org/4450M ) that aims for entertainment instead of speed.

"Break the targets!" Kirby: *"I'd rather die."*

[@LANBobYonson]

Kirby living up to his rep as a planet destroying mindless killing machine

[@deathblowringo4168]

In the NTSC-J Version, Kirby was a little larger, its Up Air deals more damage than the other versions (12% Clean hit / 10% mid hitbox) and had a slightly larger hitbox.

[@Atylonisus]

Context!! Cool

[@chrisrockett5897]

That's wild.

[@epicman5324]

Wow

[@Dorriedude]

another thing is that j and ntsc have the same ecb size so landing on stuff doesn't have a huge effect on both of those version, but another thing is the reduce hitlag which makes a huge difference in some characters in bonus stages

[@deathblowringo4168]

Other Notable changes on Kirby are his Up and down smash dealing more damage (18%(up) / 20%(down)) and have more knockback (24 (Up smash / 40 (Down smash). Also Forward Throw sends in a Horizontal angle but it has less knockback (80 on NTSC-J / 100 on International versions), And Stone deals more damage (22%) and has increased knockback scaling (78).

[@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky]

1:18 now that's efficiency

[@Hansenfmly]

1:45 with how quick this was, the music sounds more like a jingle

[@StatickyCat]

Underrated statement.

[@chackbro1]

The "failed" quite terrified me as a kid

[@SmoggyLambGG]

>Japanese version >Realistic punching and kicking sounds >Game is suddenly faster

[@dbzfanatic278]

hearing the japanese version for the first time after 23 years and never knew it sounded so different.

[@ammiebaker2911]

What the holy hell Samus!!! And that Yoshi massacre was top notch!! Man this TAS just delivers!!! Thanks!!!

[@Yurumates]

3:14 -99 for Cheap Play lol

[@lincolnloud4264]

Fun fact: Originally intended to be a Japan exclusive game, the original Super Smash Bros. sold so many copies so quickly in Japan alone, it wasn't long before it was announced to be released worldwide. The rest is history.

[@JarvisTastic]

1:50 absolutely destroyed that Pikachu

[@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky]

2:28 Kirby: What kind of sick joke is this?

[@Mr.PlatanoMAN970]

I only have 3 words for this TAS "A New Record!!!!"

[@Adrjosval]

Why looks fake? Giant DK died without touch him.

[@WannabeMarysue]

I love playarounds of this game, but its great to finally see an awesome speed focused TAS.

[@RADish-official]

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a N64 TAS

[@Atylonisus]

Wait Has the original Smash always used that comical punching sound effect on hits?

[@autumnbrushtail]

Just the Japanese version

[@mrgameandmusic]

Also the beam sword in the Japanese version sounds a bit too much like a lightsaber lol

[@autumnbrushtail]

@@mrgameandmusic forgot about that one, but I'd believe it

[@maplecinna3979]

So glad this isn't the sound design in the American release of the game.

[@JarvisTastic]

I was thinking exactly the opposite

[@MarMaxGaming]

These sounds are pretty awful in comparison 😅

[@AbnormalAdeptOfficial]

Tas smash remix pls

[@MeesterTweester]

The realistic punching sounds lol

[@8leggedsquirrel521]

Race to the finish sounded like. "Hurry the hell..." Up? I'm guessing is the end of that sentence

[@BagOfMagicFood]

"Charles Martinee"

[@isaacmorales8732]

That's Charles Martinet. I believe they spelled it wrong ❌

[@stevenpavelish6017]

XD

[@graduator14]

Smash TAS' ftw! Although, why the reupload?

[@Fatih120]

[@HylianWindRider]

4:54 matches with the music

[@Levi-yp1dt]

[@janwarrenbunoan3795]

I think you meant 「ニンテンドウオールスター！大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ」.

[@lilwyvern4]

It's somewhat refreshing to know that child me was right when I thought Kirby was a little OP.

[@metalmagerin3]

All will come to fear the Shurikirb.

[@RADish-official]

Kirby, ver-

[@KijuiKiwi]

Wow...

[@PaulyDubzTM]

[@Roman0259]

[@gatogamer9694]

[@bebeq454]

[@stephenmahilum4770]

I wonder if you tried to inhale Metal Mario would he just be Kirby Mario?

[@stevenpavelish6017]

Metal Kirby

[@lyndoncatcheway7672]

1:24 mario and Luigi looks a little bit different compare to the original version

[@PiterLauchy]

[@Bruh-jz1qb]

Wow tas your sofast

[@Bruh-jz1qb]

I for got sorry your so fast

[@chrisfalcon_vt]

Classic 64 dairanto smash is the tits. Subspace Emissary was peak smash gameplay, none of that evo bait "for glory" crap.

[@ThatOneSuperCircuitGuy]

420th like

[@SirJoelsuf1]

This run is the reason why most Smash communities banned Kirby during competitions 🤣🤣🤣

[@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky]

Lmao, Kirby was a problem that's for sure. I mained Kirby for years in Melee to much success. My friends used to get aaaaaangry at me.

[@MeesterTweester]

Kirby isn't banned

[@mrgameandmusic]

Kirby has never been banned lmao

[@SB2749]

He isn't even the best character in this game, he's still behind Pikachu lol

[@Putnam3145]

@@ChrisJohnson-yw2ky kirby was and is one of the worst characters in melee--not as bad as bowser, and has one or two good moves (that back air), but definitely ain't good
