Is SSB64 Still Worth Playing?

[TheBluAssassin]

I want to get this game because I loved it as a kid, but I'm afraid I'm just feeling nostalgic and might not like it that much if I play it again. I mean, SSBM and SSBB were huge improvements, so is there really any reason to go back to SSB64 after playing SSBM and Brawl? Well, besides the awesome intros that each character had (like Mario coming out of a pipe), of course.

 

[clubbadubba]

SSBM and SSBB are different games, whether they are improvements is really up to the individual. I prefer the original SSB. I think the average competitive player would say melee > 64 > brawl, but its all what you prefer. Honestly, you probably have never played 64 at an advanced level (no offense), so I think you would really enjoy learning advanced techniques and the new mindgames they allow. It really brings the game to a whole new level. Another awesome thing about the game is the better you get, the more fun the game becomes.

So is it worth playing again? Yes x1000

 

[TheBluAssassin]

I would agree that Melee is the best in the series.

 

[SheerMadness]

I'm not sure what answers you'd expect when posting this question in the ssb64 forum?

Do you really think anyone is going to say no you shouldn't play it lol?

It's a fun game. Plus it has lag free/low delay online play, something brawl and melee don't have.

 

[ballin4life]

you're asking on the smash64 forums whether we think smash64 is worth playing. we're going to say yes obviously

also melee sucks

 

[KnitePhox]

Agree with laser pro^

Your opinion based question strongly suggests you already have an answer.

If you're looking for reasons to play beyond nostalgia, sheer hit the nail on the head in his post.

 

[M!nt]

It's a fun game /) ^3^(\
You should give it a try

 

[kys]

Brawl was not an improvement. This is objectively true.

Why?

EDIT: Yea bro, this games sucks.
No need to spend more time on it--- or in this section actually.
Thanks for making this thread. Have fun with Brawl.
The top left should take you to the main page, good luck .

There's a free online scene, something Brawl and Melee don't have. You can play whenever you want. There's also a massive learning curve, so keep that in your head before you get destroyed by people much better than you and rage about it. There's also tons of new players (noobs) these days, so you should have a blast.

I want to go see some Shakespeare because I loved him as a kid, but I'm afraid I'm just feeling nostalgic and might not like him that much if I watch it again. I mean, Chekhov and Tennessee Williams were huge improvements, so is there really any reason to go back to Shakespeare after seeing Chekhov and Williams? Well, besides the awesome puns that each of his plays had (like the sex jokes at the beginning of Romeo and Juliet), of course.

 

[Sempiternity]

^good post

I'm far too lazy to come up with something like that. Hope it becomes a meme of sorts.

 

[The Star King]

Sex jokes at the beginning of R&J, wut? Must have gone right over my head o.O

 

[Deleted member]

brawl sadly might be a better game than 64

troll post of the year

 

[Sensei]

Short answer: no

Long answer: yes

Real talk: if you have fun while playing it, its worth it.

 

[SSBPete]

Sex jokes at the beginning of R&J, wut? Must have gone right over my head o.O

Shakespeare has a surprisingly large amount of sex/oral sex jokes in lots of his plays

 

[Sempiternity]

every other line is an innuendo basically

 

[The Star King]

Are you sure that people aren't just finding innuendos that aren't there, due to how easy it is to see everything as one (i.e. that's what she said)?

Wouldn't surprise me considering how you Englishy pieces of junk like to find hidden meanings in ****ing everything

I should go on Facebook while in this mood and go say some things I'll regret >=] >=]

 

[TANK64]

We're sure >____>

 

[Wizzrobe]

Yes, it is worth playing still. X100000

[this link is a bit too inappropriate]

 

[The Star King]

The more often you disrupt conversation with a lmgtfy link the more of a douche you are

I'm sad now because of bully4life

 

[SSBPete]

Most of his jokes aren't even subtle. They are just blatantly obvious sexual references

 

[Morin0]

brawl sadly might be a better game than 64

watching those peruvian players makes it hard to not agree with this

 

[ballin4life]

not disrupting the convo at all. just letting you know that it's well known that there are tons of dirty jokes in shakespeare. it's not people reading into things that aren't there.

didn't mean to hurt your feelings BRO

spoiler: he's not actually sorry

also melee sucks

You mean *brawl* Sucks, melee was an advancement on SSB, brawl was a marketing scheme

 

[ciaza]

if melee is an advancement on 64, brawl was an advancement on melee

 

[Spyro]

You should give it a try but if you want to keep going with It really up to you. If the game is good or not is all based around opinion, you can't actually prove one game is better than another.

 

[CableCho57]

if melee is an advancement on 64, brawl was an advancement on melee

im sorry, but thats just silly logic

 

[Pachinkosam]

If it wasn't for ssb64 there be no such thing as ssbm bro.

 

[Battlecow]

64's worth playing.

Best game ever.

And so forth.

 

[Shears]

if it wasnt worth playing then why are there still people playing it nearly 15 years later?

 

[Morin0]

15? I think it's 13, dude.

EDIT: Actually, tomorrow is Smash 64's anniversary (NA) so it's 14 now basically. Sort of close to 15 now.

 

[TANK64]

im sorry, but thats just silly logic

That's the point... based on the original comment- just saying Melee is an advancement of 64.

Based on? more chars/stages lol. Just saying Melee is better because of a later release/more "content"/better graphics doesn't work. Using that flawed logic makes Brawl the best smash game.

Also the fact that he just said that without stating any reasons.

I'm hoping you just didn't get that, and aren't going to post some incoherent rant about Melee being better just to justify your post (Because that wasn't the point >__> ). This isn't about Melee or Brawl lol.

Ciaza's the one who (rightfully) called out failed logic.

Original Post:

melee was an advancement on SSB, brawl was a marketing scheme

>____> read threads BRO.

****ing jackwagons...

Marvel, Halo, SF... yea, all of those LOGICALLY get better with every game of the series right?

Spoiler

Get it yet?

 

[ZaXXoR]

if melee is an advancement on 64, brawl was an advancement on melee

Can you provide me some evidence? 64 Was basically melee with different movesets and less techskill, then brawl was just melee with flashier graphics and practically no techskill availability... P:M on the other hand is awesome

 

[The Star King]

You don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Dre89]

Brawl was the best game. It had the most content and made the most sales.

It's just inferior from a competitive perspective, which is like less than 10% of people who bought the game.

 

[Morin0]

IDK about you guys but Melee is the closest to 64.
