To give people an idea of what it might look like, here is the 64 SMASH TREE:



We may or may not have stolen the idea.

I only started playing a couple of years ago, so I've only heard about the guy. Oldest player that I've played is Kuromatsu (kelv).

Wish I joined earlier =(

Cool, I will experiment with this in mind next meet, thanks.

I've been learning sh dair xair and tent combos this last week but I mainly have trouble like knowing where/how to approach, especially from a losing position.

Here's the deal: don't approach. Instead toss fireballs, fend them off with D-Smash, D-Air > something and N-Air. If you absolutely must approach, use standing short hop D-Airs in Kirby's vicinity and slowly move forward. This lets you dodge backwards if needed.

Don't shield too much, as Kirby can actually get shieldbreaks. Up-B oos if caught, though U-Tilt pressure is, unfortunately, airtight.

SH D-Air > aerial only works with standing short hops (running short hops can get you a couple frames of U-Air/N-Air's hitbox but the timing is irritatingly tight, so just stick to standing)...what ciaza hasn't said is that SH D-Air>U-Air is pretty meh if you don't know how to do Mario's U-Air combos, which generally (for kirby) can end in a F-Air/B-Air/N-Air, or U-Smash if you're on DL. You have to learn to use the weaker, behind hitbox of U-Air to combo light characters into U-Smash.

Average Kirby players can be beaten by cautiously approaching with plenty of fireballs, getting grabs from D-Air and edgeguarding efficiently.

So much theorycraft...it's been months since I theorycrafted like that...

On Smash 64.
Am I missing something? Did ratsco come back?

Either way, while ratsco was around when I played, he quit at some point (never saw him since). Blackshadow and I were around before Judas. Kuromatsu was the real king though.

I came into the scene.
My first meet was at kulla's house.
My first training partner was kulla.

Well unless blackshadow said so, I don't know if he felt he was 'trained' by ratsco.

Both him and I were around the same skill level and I think he started playing only a REALLY short time after me. Back then it was just kuro and ratsco playing against each other and kuro being willing to play with us and ratsco *****ing about playing with us.

I thought ratsco was gone before judas came though.

There was always a separation between myself, blackshadow and ratsco because we were keyboard players over kuro/judas who had controllers :X

Blackshadow said:
I was taught by ratsco, kuro was always better than me but it was less a teaching situation and more of someone who I regularly played against. Nevertheless this list is a good idea/lolpete

edit: also kuro and I were way before Judas, so generation-wise we're not on the same level
Judas must have been around when ratsco was otherwise he couldn't have come up with the tree =/

Leo exists externally to this and all smash trees as it is a given that he is the ultimate master and creator of the smash meta-game in general.

I wish I started playing earlier to meet all these people >.>

Here's the real generational test:

Q1. Can you remember a server before Desiree's?

if No: you are Generation Y
if Yes: Go to Question 2

Q2. Can you remember a server before Zoowhouse?

if No: you are Generation X
if Yes: Go to Question 3

Q3. Can you rememeber a server before iinet?

if No: you are a balla
if Yes: you are ratsco/kuro

Gen Y is the coolest generation anyway.

The super awesome test: What did James name his dedicated server, before changing the name to Desiree's out of respect?

that's more like the super tubbs test

the real test: were you there when coolm was coined

if not, you're a dirk (except judy, kuro and blackshadow)
if you're 1der, you're a dirk anyway

man I get no respect :(

neither does atticus, holy crap.

it was pretty much a 3 man scene back when we played.

Black stopped coming for a while, so it was just myself, atticus and kuro for a few months.

Anyway.

Me and my friend maurer probably started playing smash 64 online in 06. May have been earlier tbh. I even had other friends from high school who sometimes played with us.
There was a server we played on, but it wasn't desiree's (initially).
We played online with items, generally 4 stocks, dreamland 64 only (like 9/10 games).
We moved onto either 4 stocks or 5 stocks, without items (maurer and I were around that far back that we just used to play with against eachother and didn't care about others: kuro/ratsco (more ratsco) would always be anal about playing with us anyway).
But eventually we started doing like 4 way games. Moved out of items, even though both kuro and ratsco did play items games with us, it was just too easy for games to desync using them.
Atticus was around sporadically, he would show up at around the same time everyday and prefer to play 1v1s, but around 07 my friend maurer kinda stopped playing online that much. Atticus and I started playing a bit and playing with Ratsco. Kuro had a period where he wasn't around too much.

Blackshadow started playing and suddenly we had a 4 man group who could play together and there'd be a 5th person who didn't get to play all the time. More often or not ratsco would sit out, he seemed really anal about it.

Around the time desiree's first died was around the time PvP kaillera came out, and there was some large disconnect of the community. From what I understood ratsco quit, but I later found out he just only played pvp. Blackshadow disappeared. Atticus and I and sometimes kuro were the only people really playing.

Blackshadow shows up again, ratsco seemed absolutely gone, judas came on the server one day, he had supposedly only played in the pvp thing, and was a controller player. Blackshadow and I were abit meh playing him, we couldn't beat his kirby unless we used like pikachu or ness or kirby ourselves, it was really apparent to us how much a controller made the difference (kuro was controller, but we just thought he was absurdly amazing - and we got reasonably close playing with him using Pika against his best [at the time: fox]; we were really disappointed and felt we were kinda noob'd by judas at the time; he couldn't beat any of our chars with anything bar kirby). Atticus and I moved onto mupen64 because it allowed us better keyboard control set ups, so we pretty much were a group within ourselves and sometimes kuro would play with mupen. The contrller plugin for mupen wouldn't work with project64k and Judas would refuse to play with mupen. Judas brought with him like 3 or 4 players IIRC, but none were even close to as good as judas.

I was still somewhat active up until brawl came out in 08. When iinet went down there was some server (It may have been called "James") but eventually desiree returned. Have no idea what happens now.

Lol i remember noobing it up on those servers back in 06 under 'red kirby'.
Getting owned by Ratsco over and over, me spamming dash attack and fsmash until the day Ratsco taught me U-Tilt!!
The name Kuro seems sorta familiar as well.
Maurer also sounds familiar

Remember shkoles?
Nova?

Ratsco liked playing with us initially, but when I say he went anal, I mean it was around the time we started being able to have close games with him / sometimes win. Could have been my attitude tbh, I was an immature **** back then.

I'll give your longish post an objective vibe and add it to the HISTORY thread.

See the thing was, originally I was on kaillera servers playing Garou.

It was only because I waso n the kaillera servers for like up to a year seeing people play 64 that I picked up 64 again (we used to play it on emulators in high school classes from like.. year 8)

Funny that, I started playing on an emulator with my friend Isaac in I.T class in year 11/12. Bestest times ever.

And it 's actually it's really hard adding stuff to places without me knowing the exact dates. aa will probably do it for me.
