Hello,
I am a brand new player here but I just got a N64 USB adapter in the mail. Does anybody want to teach me a lesson in online play?? I am decent on console (in my mind at least cuz i beat all my friends) but I know I'll get my a** handed to me by any of you. But if you want to take the time I would love to find someone to play with!
Let me know,
also what client should I download? I saw that there is Pj64 and Kalliera. some tips would be appreciated!
Thanks

 

[dandan]

hi, that is the correct attitude, i would recommend going to the come here first thread for all the explanations and link about setting up pj and kaillera.
where are you from if i might ask, if it is from europe (which i doubt) you should check the european index.

 

[DMoogle]

PJ64 is an emulator, PJ64k is PJ64 with Kaillera, which is a sort of plugin that allows you to play multiplayer online. As dandan said, check the "Come here first" index thread for all necessary resources. If you have more questions, fire away.

 

[asianaussie]

i dont think the thread has come here first in the title anymore lol

just a big IMPORTANT label

 

[firo]

Yeah, what happened with that?

Also Limacon I'd be happy to play on mupen++ let me know next time we are online.

EDIT: confused...

I need to know some b'n'b DK combos, I'm figuring most of it out for myself/from videos, but I just need to make sure I don't miss anything obvious.

Mainly wondering how I am supposed to combo off of his throws (without walls), if it is possible.

 

[asianaussie]

F-Throw can often go into a running, fully charged Giant Punch at low-ish percents.
F-Throw in the air > jump Up-B (on lighter characters)
F-Throw in the air > fastfall jump Up-B (on heavier characters)
F-Throw in the air > fastfall jump F-Air (varies, only if you have height)
F-Throw and platforms (Dreamland) can work at low-ish percents

Any aerial > grab > F-Throw > jump throw > double jump Giant Punch is a guaranteed 0-death on Jigglypuff in basically every normal situation.

High percents require walls. At that point you may as well just go for a kill if you get the grab. If you're facing the wrong way for a quick B-Throw kill and get the grab, F-Throw hold > turn around > release > regrab > B-Throw.

Some of these might not be true combos.

I have a weird problem. If I stream ssb64 at a resolution of 640*480 it lags offline (not for the persons watching the stream, but for me), it goes at ~40 fps. But I can stream melee on dolphin without any problem (constant 60 fps). I have an i7 2630QM and a GEFORCE GT550M (I have a laptop). Any idea what might cause the lag? (I haven't looked too much into it yet)

edit: Nevermind, if I reduce the quality, I don't lag. It's weird that I have to reduce the quality from melee to 64 though.

@AA
I've been doing Bair > Turn-around > Dtilt > Grab quite a lot. Is that a true combo?

Yeah, it is.

People rely too much on that. Might work in the land of Milo, but in America, a good opponent's gonna mash out every time.

 

[The Star King]

Depends. Only like 20% of the good players I play are that good at mashing out of it. I suck at mashing out of that stuff myself, since my keyboard can only take like three inputs at once.

 

[asianaussie]

i don't even play DK lol

 

[Sangoku]

I don't understand why good players and good mashers are often related. I think I can improve all I want in this game, I will never be able to make a decent raising tornado with mario/luigi.

 

[NTA]

What does it take to be good in SSB?

 

[ciaza]

Being Australian.
Spacing
Tech skill
Mindgames

List in order from most to least important.

My jaw dropped when I saw Matt was actually nice to you.

 

[Surri-Sama]

Lol that was probably because my smashboards name back then was "Sirhc" and he had no idea who i was

But then again it was also 07 so, twas a while ago...don't remember when our "beef" started lol.

 

[asianaussie]

OH

so sirhc on gamefaqs is surri

this makes a lot more sense

 

[Battlecow]

Good escape mashing is related to good DI

It's really not that hard to have good escape mashing. When I'm ready for it, I can escape pretty much before DK comes out of his jump animation- and I have notoriously slow fingers.

Anyways, if it's not effective against good players who do it right, I wouldn't make it a fundamental part of your game. The other good players will probably catch up someday (e.g. when DK matters)

Learning to read people is an easy way to get good, since most of the community is mad predictable.

Not for me. I have pretty good DI, and I suck at mashing out. Maybe for most people, though.

You probably have a keyboard that can take a lot of inputs at the same time. I'm guessing you can do no contests? I can't.

I kind of agree, though. It's true you will find Puff players who will mash out like a mofo, and you will have to beat them in other ways. That's why I never really bought that match-up being absolutely horrendous like some people said.

Actually i dont think that is me. I dont use GameFAQS forums

 

[NTA]

Would anyone recommend any resolutions for PJ64k when recording SSB?

 

[dandan]

it completely depends on your hardware.
if you do not have a good pc, 480x640 is more than enough for good quality,
else, you can go for better res.

 

[Battlecow]

Nah, I can't nocontest.

I do left-a-right-b over and over. Do you just, like, mash?

I think you might have meant 640x480 xD
I use a few resolutions, mainly 6480x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and rarely 1280x1024.

 

[The Star King]

I used to mash, which didn't work at all. I do left-a-right-b now, which is better but still doesn't escape THAT fast.

 

[Battlecow]

If you're LARBing, you should only be pressing two buttons at any one time...

Also, my escape input's not actually good, because I always react late. But when I'm ready for it, I can escape real fast... The key, then, is practice and so forth, not fingerspeed.

 

[The Star King]

I do. It's still not very good for me, IDK why.

 

[Battlecow]

You aren't the MASTER OF TECHSKILL like me.

Pity, really.

 

[The Star King]

You're right. Your amazing tech skill grants you so much more options than mine does. And you utilize it so well, too, with your mindless Falcon grab spam and your repeatedly getting 3 stocked by my Samus. It's such a shame I can't be as great as you.

I'm agree, your adorable.
So, show us a video xD

U mad bro? Kinda sounds like you're mad.

And I only got 3 stocked once by your samus. When that happened, I wasn't actually trying to play a match. I was just practicing TECHSKILL.

 

[The Star King]

I ain't even mad.

You got 3 stocked twice in a row. And I wasn't aware that spamming grabs = practicing TECHSKILL. Pressing the grab button is probably technical for the likes of you, though, so I understand.

Installed project on a different pc for the first time in 7 months. Every thing went fine, Ive got the controller worling and everything. But when i Load the game I get failed to open file. Is there a noob thing I have done wrong?

 

[Battlecow]

There's a difference between being a troll and joking around about being MASTER OF TECHSKILL when everyone knows you're pretty atechnical.
