Taunt Cancel in Melee, 64-Style! [With Video]

[Dan Salvato]

Hey guys, while waiting for Massive to test a few things for me in SSBM Online, I decided to use some of my gained skill and knowledge in disassembly to bring you some AR codes! Presenting:

Enable Taunt Cancel (v1.2)

For those unfamiliar, taunt cancelling in Smash 64 involves running toward a ledge while taunting to cancel the taunt with the teeter animation. This is not possible in Melee because the taunt animation has priority over the teeter. However, this code gives taunts the same teeter check as standing and walking. This code also does one more thing: Taunting during dash carries your momentum through, allowing you to taunt and slide without having to break into a full run.

Try it yourself! If you find any bugs or anomalies, let me know. :D

 

[Kal]

Oh my God. You are my hero.

 

[Varist]

knew this was only a matter of time

 

[Steelia]

I remember seeing random Smash 64 TAS videos with some crazy-funny taunt cancels, and wondered plenty how Melee characters would look/sound doing the same thing. This'll be really cool to test personally. (=

 

[Morin0]

Hey IE, can you post a video demonstrating this AR code? Preferably Kirby or Falcon


OR can you tell me how you would apply this code in Dolphin?

Right-click Melee > Properties > AR Codes > Add

I'll have a video shortly.

EDIT: OP updated with video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAQpxzMl7EA

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

Oh god Kirby.

 

[Morin0]

Oh god Kirby.

LOL. Exactly why I asked for Kirby

 

[Bones0]

I think the real question is, will this let you moonwalk into a ledge canceled "Show me your moves"?

Also, Fox's Japanese taunt. :D

 

[The Star King]

It's settled. I main Kirby now

 

[Olikus]

finnaly melee understood whats up. about time.

 

[ZaXXoR]

Amazing!!!

 

[Strong Badam]

needs DK taunt. i require a video

 

[Sinji]

I wanna see G&W taunt cancel

 

[Juggleguy]

This is amazing.

Imagine Falcon throwing in a taunt cancel in the middle of a dropzone.

 

[oukd]

what version of melee? its not working for me

 

[Massive]

All AR codes IE posts are likely to be version 1.02.

I wanna see G&W taunt cancel

ummm...

 

[Dan Salvato]

what version of melee? its not working for me

Version 1.2. Sorry, I'd rather not bother with the other versions.

 

[Strong Badam]

I believe standardtoaster might be able to port it to the other versions...

 

[Dan Salvato]

needs DK taunt. i require a video

[standardtoaster]

I believe standardtoaster might be able to port it to the other versions...

Yeah, I probably could. If IE can tell me what the original line is and a few of the commands next to it, I can try to port it to other regions.

 

[Jolteon]

This is awesome.

 

[Dan Salvato]

Yeah, I probably could. If IE can tell me what the original line is and a few of the commands next to it, I can try to port it to other regions.

Should be as simple as searching a memory dump of 1.0, 1.1, PAL for those lines, right?

 

[standardtoaster]

Exactly. I'll contact you on AIM later today (about an hour or so probably) about using debug in dolphin.

Soo...how do you get that cool "Smash researcher" tag? ;]

 

[Massive]

The Smash Developer tag is better.
Unless I just hallucinated its existence.

 

[standardtoaster]

I'll tell you about it on aim, lol.

 

[Anth0ny]

Godlike. So godlike.

 

[Dan Salvato]

I updated the OP with links to DK's taunt cancel, as well as the Dreamland trick where you mash taunt with the blowing wind (yes, it still works).

 

[Phoenix~Lament]

The next great combo video NEEDS to have this.

 

[Dan Salvato]

I updated the OP with a code for 1.0, thanks standardtoaster :D

 

[standardtoaster]

It took a while but now I've got a bit more knowledge on how it worked. I hope people enjoy it. I won't be able to make a 1.1 or PAL version unless I have an iso for them. I think that having it for versions 1.0 and 1.2 will be fine for now at least because those seem to be the most common versions of melee.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

The only iso I have is 1.1.

 

[standardtoaster]

If you message me a link that'd be good.

 

[Dan Salvato]

If you message me a link that'd be good.

Or you could use the version converter and save yourself some hassle and illegality.

 

[standardtoaster]

That could work too.

 

[TheLake]

loool jesus best thread on smashboards

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

Guess we don't have to play Project M anymore.

 

[standardtoaster]

Enable Taunt Cancelling (1.1)

040CA258 40820058

Ported it to 1.1. I'll see if I can port it to PAL soon.
