that is your call, i myself do not play with a 64 pad (because n64 was not officially imported to israel).
if you prefer the 64 pad then you should.
most believe it is the best for the game, though it has some flaws including the rate in whch the stick gives out.

I put commas so it feels more like a tier, rather than an ordered list, cuz there's no order within tiers.
yes nova and gav are the same person

I have been thinking about making a CONSOLE tier list for a while now since I'm prolly one of the few people that have played alot of the SWF players irl, but i got ninja'd by sheer. Oh well, i might still make it.

Also, this tier list would be better if used in conjunction with my "Who's your main in Smash 64?" thread to help players improve their skillz.



I agree, but s2j would atleast be in the SS tier haha. ****s too funny
Do want...

Denken and me actually go even when we p2p, Though I admit hes very hard to beat. MATTS! is never good (dont make me get into it) and Firo, I've never played him but I didn't hear good things.

its something u'd understand if u knew sheer and my history
Huh? I said something like "I doubt you're any better than me" on some melee livestream I think. Not too ridiculous of a statement considering I've been playing comp melee for 5+ years against some of the best players in the country. I don't see what any of that has to do with this thread though.

@ the poeple who are placing Nintendude in S Tier. Which of his chars are you basing that off of?

Lol played you last night, I didn't expect you to be that good lol. You improved a lot since we played from the past few months. I remember when I was able to beat without having to be pressured, but yesterday you gave me the business. I need to step it up since I haven't played online since like forever. Haven't had matches like that in a while, but Ahhhh.......Its good to be back. :laugh:

So thats why I'm probably lagging like mutha****a on Kaillera. I forgot the graphics plugin can make you lag in game. Now I gotta go back to the fugly plugin. Thank u Surri. :chuckle:

EDIT: Imma check to see which plugin works better this weekend.

Glide64 and ricevideo are good alternatives to jabo plugins. Glide almost has 100% reproduction (although fireballs sometimes change colors for me) and rice supports a lot of features and can use opengl which is pretty stable, but doesn't show invincibility frames. Also look out for audio plugins, apparently they can cause lag/desynch as well.

Is Azimer v0.30 a good plugin for online

the only problem i have with glide is that they have set backspace as a hotkey to change render, and it works no matter what window you have focus on, so if i am typing on msn and what not and hit space, the render changes. kinda silly.

Yeah dandan that is a kinda annoying "feature" of glide, although holding down backspace and seeing smash change renders rapidly is kinda fun haha. For korrupshen, I'm pretty sure Azimer is fine - as are most others. If you are lagging or desynching a lot for no obvious reason, changing the audio plugins should be one step in the troubleshooting process.

edit: Yeah this is pretty off topic - sorry..

If SuperBoomFan and JaimeHR are in S tier then I definitely do not belong in there. I am capable of beating them but am very rarely consistent enough to make it happen.

Ok I actually gave this a lot of thought.

I think that this tier placement should be based on skill, which is a players ability to win across many different characters, matches, stages, etc. not just being dominant with one character. So someone who has a really good Kirby but can't win with other characters shouldn't be as high. This also means people who sandbag/play their bad characters more/have a lot of delay shouldn't necessarily be docked for that.

As far as the whole ordered/non-ordered thing, I think putting multiple people on the same row (at least in the higher tiers where the differences are more pronounced) is a good compromise.


SS Tier:
Malva

S Tier:
Boom

A Tier:
Jaime
Sensei*, Frog, ba11lin4life*, tigerbombz*, Johnny*
A$, Cart*, smoke2jointz*
thegreginator, Nintendude

B Tier:
SheerMadness
Fireblaster, Darth Rancorous*
Zenyore*, PD
MattNF, HolyQuebec, Kabal

C Tier:
Here it gets too close to call. Put in the old PPS people, Kabal, Denken, MarioReincarnate, Near, Surri, etc etc.

* = people who don't play online as much but OH WELL

Sheer got docked more because he is only dominant with one character. His Fox (I believe his second best character?) doesn't have nearly as much success as his Yoshi (against me at least).

Boom should be in a tier of his own.

People who I think are UNDERRATED (based on what other people in the thread have said): Kabal, Denken

People who I think are OVERRATED (based on what other people in the thread have said): Nintendude, MattNF

I would put a lot of confidence in Boom's list when he makes it because I feel he has been around long enough to have played almost all of the good online people a lot.

Also, Darth, I really wanna see a console tier list. You should make a thread for it :)

Ok well I think we have a pretty good idea on S Tier. Everyone's lists seem to agree with Boom, Jaime, Frogles and Sensei. I'm gonna go ahead and put them in S Tier. I'm also going to order S Tier since I think most of us agree that Boom is a little ahead of those players but maybe not enough for his own tier.

A Tier is going to be tricky. Lots of variation in people's lists starting in A Tier.

I don't think you really need to order the tier lists below S. They're too variable and it's hard to tell who is better, even if you've played them yourself
