[TAS] Wii Super Smash Bros. Brawl "The Subspace Emissary, 1 player" by DyllonStej in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5908M
TAS originally published on 2024-04-16
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros. ( tasvideos.org/Movies-Group10 ) series, released for the Wii in 2008. While its core mechanics are the same as its predecessors (where the genre’s traditional health bar is replaced with a percent counter, with the goal of knocking opponents off the stage instead of reducing their HP to zero), Brawl changed many aspects of the game from Super Smash Bros. Melee ( tasvideos.org/Movies-844G ), resulting in the game generally being considered the "slowest" in the series as a result.
Brawl is the first game in the series to have a dedicated story mode, called "The Subspace Emissary", which is the main focus of this TAS. The Subspace Emissary is mostly composed of side-scrolling platforming levels with cutscenes and beat-’em-up sections called "Ambushes" - similar to games like Kirby Super Star - while also containing the traditional versus matches and bosses like its predecessors.
DyllonStej ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/D... ) takes advantage of oversights in the game's damage mechanics, which allows for extreme travel speed without being KO'd, in order to literally fly through the game at record-setting speed. Pervasive luck-manipulation throughout the movie ensures that the author always gets the right item or sticker to go even faster. The author has improved on their previous submission by a very impressive 7:21.15 minutes via numerous improvements to routing and luck manipulation, bringing the run duration to under and hour! Details on the improvements can be found in the submission notes.

"This is the last time I'm TASing Subspace, for real this time, I know I've said it before, but this is the real deal this time." (Lying) Hope you all enjoyed!

[@KingMorgan6]

Congrats DyllonStej pass sub 1 hour!

[@scrunkykat]

amazing as always

[@MyNamesNotLars1]

My vote for best TAS of 2024

[@TheMegaMarshtomp]

The greatest story mode in any game ever right here. I especially loved the part where Peach explodes herself 500 times.

[@Levi-yp1dt]

well said

[@Formula_Zero_EX]

Dyllon shredding the game’s story mode like cheese, as usual!

[@chimpzchimpington420]

"If you beat Super Smash Bros Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode in under an hour, I'll sit on your face."

[@csolisr]

17:39 "He's just walking slowly and up-throwing?"

[@Levi-yp1dt]

Anyone who really enjoyed this should watch the full TAS breakdown from Dyllon and EZScape. It’s on the EZScape Speedrun channel!

[@csolisr]

The breakdown is for a different, older TAS (for 100% completion) but many of the tricks explained there also apply here.

[@Levi-yp1dt]

@@csolisr that’s right, forgot about that. but yes, the video does explain a lot of the tricks used for both any% and 100%, they’re extremely similar

[@theftprevention]

The absolute disrespect shown to Wario with the slap at 52:07 had me rolling

[@palidopali]

It's actually not a disrespect. It resets launch delay to slap's timer

[@UnrealSuperSonic04]

​@@palidopalistill, the fact that this is needed for the strat makes it hilarious

[@palidopali]

@@UnrealSuperSonic04 of course it does!

[@PK_Phoenix]

"Damage? Nah, that's just my speed increase."

[@teckworks]

Damn is that the best Smash Bros. theme I hear? 👀

[@donsentente9997]

TECKWORKS????!

[@cocoroyuri]

Super Smash Bros. Bob-omb

[@ze_glitchy_gamer7629]

I like the part with the sword prymids trying to hit meta knight

[@Play-With-The-J]

"Wake up man, it's 2006. There's no such thing as a Blast Zone!"

[@solarflare9078]

Would Peach be S+ tier when it comes to Subspace Emissary TASes?

[@TalesofRezz]

You may not agree with me but the credits at the end are still a good part too, this game was flawed but very enjoyable

[@KusogeMan]

amazing as always!

[@Nickle_King]

Peach. Sadomasochistic speedster.

[@JohnDoe-id5ih]

Bro is buIIying my childhood

[@nilvana7540]

the real Peach Bomber

[@KimeramonRocks]

This TAS guy sure is quick at beating video games.

[@MellowFellow269]

16:49 it's the teammate cpu Link taunting on them after contributing zero assistance for me

[@DyllonStejGaming]

His boomerang actually pushes Mario closer to the blastzone so I can grab and throw him earlier, so unlike most of the other times, he was actually helpful this time.

[@csolisr]

So this uses the reverse pause glitch that @DyllonStej was talking about in the last explanation video, right?

[@KusogeMan]

yeah

[@KingMorgan6]

Yes

[@Alexs23743]

I've been told all my life that competitive Smash players routinely hurt themselves to be the best, but those people never told me that the characters have to hurt themselves to the tune of roughly 300% just to beat a story mode in under an hour! D: 5:28, 12:26, 13:34, and probably other places: I KNEW it was just a movie set all along! Imagine being so good at your craft that the director tells you "once more, with LESS feeling"! xD WHY ARE THEY SHOUTING THE POKÉMON NAMES AT US? I GET THAT IT WAS GENERATION 4 WHEN BRAWL RELEASED, BUT I COULD'VE SWORN IT DIDN'T DO THAT ON MY COPY OF BRAWL. D:

[@roberpinaIes9]

Está bien el video ❤

[@Howmanymoretimes]

Omg Yoshi is so cuuute :3

[@radar4056]

My favorite 👌

[@samdilophosaur9787]

I’m gonna call this the “bombing run” from now on, cause the amount of bombs used in this run would make the US military blush

[@jasonshannon7768]

Nice

[@RADish-official]

*WARRRIOOOOOO, IM GONNA WIIIIIIN*

[@Ukiby3000]

Damage Boost The Game (but for real this is sick as hell, loved watching it!)

[@morgans.5190]

35:50 i dont remember seeing that blue thing anywhere in this game ??

[@zeeoh5466]

iirc that's a cut enemy that was included there as an easter egg

[@Pino_1520]

0:19 〜 24:19

1400 views in 6 hours? Channel fell off.

[@henryhardfoot]

Dyllon has been putting these out for so long now. Always a great watch! Is anyone else involved in helping theorycraft for these Subspace TASes I wonder? 🤔
