Thinking about doing a custom PC build. One of the games I'd like to play would be SSB64 on-line. Care to recommend parts for optimum performance? I'd probably run Dolphin on this PC too.

Toasters run SSB64 perfectly fine.

Yeah, a ChromeBook can run Melee perfectly, so I'd imagine just about any machine can run 64.
That brings up an interesting point; I wonder what the lowest specs required to run 64 perfectly are.

My current PC which has an integrated graphics card can't run it full screen without slowdown. Granted, this PC is mainly used for surfing the Net and watching YT videos which it handles quite well.
pretty sure u cant play online on full screen anyways. it cause desync somehow

Yesterday I came to a startling conclusion that Melee is a sole reason why all other smash games are treated so poorly and misconstrued, because you always have uninformed melee players trying to tell people how to play 64 or making up false information to make their game out to be better. I now completely understand and blame the communinty for being so jaded and egotistical and a huge reason why this game struggles so much to even get stream time. People instantly take statements like 'you get hit once and you die' and 'isai is unbeatable' and they turn all the time and passion people put into this game into phrases that hold no weight in the first place. I have a buddy who plays melee and when we play 64 together, he's constantly complaining about the hitstun. He's constantly complaining about the physics and how it's not fair. It's enough to make me want to gag and it's so disappointing people either drop 64 because they don't want to adapt or they want to stay ignorant and continue to give each other fellatio about how Melee is the greatest (smash) game of all time. It's even worse that I actually like Melee and watch matches, but at least 64 players don't go into melee, brawl, or even smash 4 chats talking about how this game isn't a pure carbon-copy of 64 therefore it's bad or not as good as it.

I'll stil continue to play this game regardless but I just really wish we were given a better chance and I could somehow get people into this game, because they usually just want to play Melee instead or compare every other game either not as good as Melee or too different. Disheartening.

Post this in reddit and see how many down votes it gets for bad mouthing melee. Then you'll really see how terrible those other communities really are.

Do you remember in high school those kids who weren't really part of a clique or group but would kinda hang around with one, repeat jokes and phrases that they heard, try to act cool to them and adopt all of their opinions and mannerisms? Just humans DESPERATE to fit in with anyone, even if it means completely abandoning and redesigning their personality?
They all joined the melee community
Now they have all the validation they never got, and I would feel sad for them if they weren't so ****ing obnoxious

LOL this is a perfect explanation of it all. I've been looking for the words to describe the melee characters and this is it.

http://i.imgur.com/uO4uect.webm Apparently opinionboards doesn't let you embed webm videos/gifs, nice.

(01:21:01PM) <\\Heemlo> thats a horrible gif
(01:21:09PM) <\\Heemlo> i cant believe ur spending ur time on this



Do not play him until he stops using rapid fire, He's used it for over a year now since he started. I don't think Fireblaster or anyone like that was ever this bad, they all stopped using it after a few times.



Lol you can't even edit your own titles, holy **** this forum base is terrible.

I guess 64 players finally got tired of getting censored on swf and left for fb, twitter, irc, kaillera and skype groups

Yeah, some players have already found all this information but that's very neat anyway! <3
I wonder if it's any different
