Can you Z-Cancel with the L trigger on the GameCube controller??

yes, it works just fine.


also with that mupen homebrew hack would be prolly really hard to pull off.

I still haven't gotten the chance to play with gc controls. Only reason why I think I would like it is because whenever I go from playing brawl/melee to SSB, I have to get use to the completely different shape and bulk of the 64 control. Now that I think of it, I don't even hold the 64 control properly. I keep it at kind of a 60 degree turn when I play.

gc controllers are soo difficult. since i use R to arial attack and delay cancle its almost impossible since u have to mash the button so far in.

 

[CMONEY770]

Yeah same here, except I always used Smash 64 to help me get my cancels down so I'm used to playin with an Nintendo 64 controller

It's cool that this was released, and it's causing more interest in the game, but it sucks that new people are learning to play using the garbage gamecube controls. I've even heard of people hosting VC tournaments. DISGUSTING

my adapter works fine with ssb64 vc

How is it worse? I had to take a break of the n64 version after a half hour of play because I got a sore thumb.

Finally tournament organizers can host tournaments for all 3 games on one console.

weak hands


anyways, if you play both melee and 64 you'd have to keep getting new gc controllers cuz of the huge amount of use

You mean a 64 to GC adaptor?

If so how much and where did you get it????

Exactly what I'm talking about.

 

[Knuckles_Fan]

I might buy this. Anyone care to give me an idea of how good it is/isn't?

 

[asianaussie]

It's a simple, fun game to play competitively and with friends. It's easier to get into than Melee and more balanced than either Melee or Brawl. It may not be as good a party game as Brawl, but if you want true combos, epic simplicity and fun, go for this game.

Most people here play this online against other players, but getting it on your Wii and playing it with friends is always good.

Smash 64 is the best party game ... 2v2 battles with items and 200% damage = SUPER fun

besides drunk mario party of course

 

[Blue Yoshi]

is 200% damage the one where throws are instant kill?

That said, items on smash 64 is very fun (not for competitive play, but just for the fun of messing around, doing item combos, etc.)

 

[ballin4life]

Depends on where you are on the stage but most throws are instant kill

 

[T1g3rbombz]

does anyone actually play on VC or more ppl play online on kaillera?

 

[Xivii]

I'm sure it's the latter. Though there's not really a way to say how many people outside this board & Kaillera play.

When it comes down to it, do people think SSB is better to play on the N64 or the Wii? What's the most comfortable and most efficient control setup for max ****?

 

[Blue Yoshi]

People who have played it on the 64 for years will say it's much better on the 64, while people who haven't and have only played melee/brawl using a gamecube controller will say it's better on the wii. So... it depends on who you talk to.

In terms of which is most efficient, it would be the 64 controller by far. The buttons are arranged in such a way that it is easier to do some basic techniques (most notably, the jump buttons are right beside the a and b buttons, so you can do your attack immediately out of a jump).

I personally prefer the 64 controller over the gamecube.

 

[Mushinronsha]

Good to know. I had some hope for the Wii, but I sorta figured N64 would remain champ.

 

[BlackLightning90]

The GC controllers make the controls for SSB64 seem like Melee.

 

[LLDL]

yeah they do

 

[Untrust Us]

Sounds like it ****s up your melee game if you play ssb64 with that setup for long periods of time
