New rules

[SSBPete]

Heres some short examples. Game is played on race to the finish. Player 1 is not aloud to go to the end or it results in a "win". Rules are simple, first player to reach 999% loses.
Characters recommended to play with are pika, fox, kirby, falcon, mario, luigi and ness, because as far as i know, they can jump high enough to reach the next ledge. enjoy

You can't always get to 999%... Sometimes you get knocked out lol

yeh if you get smashed at like %500 you go through the walls

 

[H0lyQuebec]

Hey i used to do that a long time ago on g64 lol(still do it sometime)

I raise the % to 200 though, so its shorter and everyone has a better chance to knock someone out.

 

[Battlecow]

Lol. that looks fun. You seriously go through walls at high %? wow. I'm gonna try that.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Falcon punch is one of the easiest ways to kill people through walls, but many powerful attacks also work.

I've done that match many times before, though we continued past 999% at times... until we both decided that we've played too much RTTF at 999% (usually happens when someone gets killed lol).

 

[NixxxoN]

I used to do that a long time ago. Anoter good game alternative is to play tennis using a third player as a ball @ upper floor.

 

[Battlecow]

hey, how does an actual race to the finish work? I've never tried it; does CF win every time? it seems like it would be fun, but maybe it doesn't work out.

 

[blaze3927]

ive beaten a noob cpatain falcon with a jigglypuff, just put him to sleep at the start,
but im assuming a captain falcon would always win unless its a pikachu with leet quick attack skills

 

[Blue Yoshi]

whoever starts ahead has the advantage, as he can choose to run, or to stall the opponent (throw, etc) to give himself a larger advantage.

And you have it all wrong. Puff is the best (teleport sing). Plus, her aerial mobility is too good. Falcon has no chance (he'll be too tired to even run)

 

[SSBPete]

ohh cause last night we got to like 900% and no one ever got knocked out! i'm liking the acctual race idea too. does ness' pk feather give him extra speed if he dosnt hit any walls? mabye that could work. fox could laser spam when their at the bumpers or bombs could even work.

Running is generally the fastest method for almost every character. Almost everything else (up-B from Ness, Pika, etc.) has too much lag for it to make you go faster than running.

 

[DMoogle]

I'm pretty sure Pika's up-B is a faster method of travel if you can get the double horizontal one across land consistently, which isn't too difficult.

 

[blaze3927]

you can even land pikachu's without any ending lag if you do it off a ledge, and jigglypuff's teleport sing isnt faster than captain falcons run becuase of the ending animation

Ness is faster if you DJC at the end of his initial dash and just do a bunch of initial dashes

 

[Blue Yoshi]

I didn't say running was always the fastest way... I just meant that for most characters, the net total distance travelled running is more than if another method were used. Obviously there are faster methods, but for most characters, running is the better method.

 

[HoN3Y64]

Frame perfect DJC with Ness is faster than running IIRC.

 

[SSBPete]

Ness is faster if you DJC at the end of his initial dash and just do a bunch of initial dashes

i was gonna say i think initial dash > fair is the fastest method in my post before, but i wasnt completely sure.
