Do you mean in terms of tech skill, or in terms of straight-up matchup disadvantages?

If you don't mean tech skill (although the difference in tech skill between characters isn't nearly as big as Melee) then I would suggest using Samus and Link. In a nutshell, Samus can't combo and is slow, and Link dies quickly because of his crap recovery and is easy to keep pressure on. Either way you'll have difficulty using these characters early on in the learning curve compared to other chars with more advantages.

I talking about ice climber or fox hard someone who is uber hard to play as. I think it would be yoshi
In terms of hand speed required

yoshi, ness, or fox

Fox due to shine speed and combos

ness due to perfect DJC

Yoshi due to DJC and shield tactics

Id say Yoshi...then fox....then ness

DK would be easiest probably...or Samus.

Jake is definitely dropping Yoshi
There never was a tier list. We have a 'general idea list', like pika/kirby high and link/samus low, but no actual list.

If you talk to different people, they'll give you a different opinion on what the list should be. These opinions will be very similar, but not identical.

And the current tier list is not right at all.

Did the backroom ever create a tier list or was there even a tier list when this came out?
the tier list was originally created on Gamefaqs... no one really cared back then and the metagame was MUCH worse

current list is wayyy different

fox is better and ness is worse for the main changes

Some people think ness is moderate (4th....) while others think he is worse due to predictability (6th or something)

its probably

Pikachu, Kirby, Fox, Ness/Falcon/Mario/Jigglypuff (in some order...lol...probably that one), then yoshi/luigi, then dk/link, then samus

We've tried making a tier list here, but due to differences in opinion, as well as people not knowing much about certain characters, along with many other reasons, every tier list thread failed miserably. There was one we had that seemed to work, where we took the total of all the votes, and that produced a fairly accurate list, but then again, many 'votes' were made by people who didn't know much about some characters (me included at the time. I'll admit it).

We could try to make a tier list, but it would probably have the same results.

That was probably the best list to come out of this forum, though, and most of the debate there was held by the better/best players. I have to hit the bed right now, but if someone could go into that thread and dig up the final tier list results that would be awesome, would at least serve as a temporary updated tier list for all asking.

We tried to re-do the tier list but theory fighter took over and the best of us realized theres no way anything productive is going to come from the general smash64 community...in terms of a tier list

Actually, that first list seems pretty good. I'd assume it's the average list, seeing as it was last updated weeks after the orriginal post.



Pikachu . . . . .TOP TIER

Kirby . . . . . . . HIGH TIER
Fox
Falcon

Mario . . . . . . .MIDDLE TIER
Ness
Jigglypuff
Yoshi

Luigi . . . . . . . .LOW TIER
DK

Link . . . . . . . .BOTTOM TIER
Samus


That's the results according to that list. I'd agree with that list.

Of course not everyone agrees 100% with it (even I disagree in a few spots), but for what it's worth, it's probably as accurate as we can get. Should we consider this the new 64 tier list? It's definitely much better than the last one.

Also PIPA and CISPA
i had an incident or wierd happening i would like to question about. like about 6 or 7 i was like an expert in this game so i played with the tough opponents like lvl 9 or something again this was years ago so its probably not true (but i remember it like it was yesterday). so i played 100 stock and when FINALLY i was down to my last life and my parter (pikachu or yoshi) had 1 life left too. so then cap falcon was about to do a falcon pawnch on my partner when i decided to sacrifice my self so i jumped in front of it. i promptly went flying and died but somehow i came back to life ( i dunno if this was a glitch or something) and my stock was zero i could see it on the screen so i just finished them off but i still question that to this day. so yeah did the game give me another chance at life or something? (please answer because this has haunted me for years

I like that list way better. Fox is in a better place and so is ness. Same for falcon...

Although falcon is in a tier of his own... "MAN" tier or something

I just started playing Smash 64 online(I kinda suck) and I'm wondering if SWF has a kaliera server or somewhere else we can meet up for fights.

disproving determinism
I've been trying to play online with Project64k and I can run my own offline game perfectly. However, whenever I play an online game, my controller does not work at all (no button presses are registered), it's like it isn't configured or something.

Help?
