Kek.
They just hate on popular games.

I like Smash 64 because of the echo in the sound design. It's why I also really like the first three Donkey Kong Country games and Dark Souls.

More games need echo.

>>9672814
Both are played by more people than every PS1 or PS2 game today, funfact

Smash interactive backgrounds were truly innovative. Lol @ endless flat stages of other fighting games.

>>9672836
Rightfully so. Smashchads have won in the end.
/vr/ just hates on what is popular, nothing new.

You mean fighting games? Smash wasn't a fighting game. It was much more of a....party vs. platformer.

Lol

>>9672850
Sorry to break it to you but fighting games genre has different subgenres. Smash-like is another one.

>>9672837
Emphasis on positioning and strategy is what makes it great.

>>9672864
I mean not really. Smash has about as much in common with fighting games as a beat em up or wrestling game does, which are all separate genres.

Hello tekken 3 spammer

About to play it for the first time. Any tips? Who is the best character?

>>9672902
Pikachu, but don't think about it too much, just play classic mode with whoever you like

>>9672902
Try Fox, he is cool

>>9672902
Kirby by far.

>>9672818

>>9672825
(((This)))

>>9672896
Actually I'm the Mortal Kombat Scorpion fan, KoF Terry and Mai fan, and Street Fighter Ryu player who thinks Ryu is boring but the best vehicle for playing. Do you recognize me? I'm not much of a Tekken guy, 3D fighters are kind of not my pace, but Kazuya is the best in Tekken.

>>9672902
If you're going to play the party platformer Smash, you may as well pick any Nintendo character you liked best as a little kid, that's the point, it's just to have fun with your childhood characters.

>>9672864
>Smash-like is another one.
PFFFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHA

>>9672814
Smash is gay.

>>9672932
>I'm not much of a Tekken guy
Then stop spamming it in every thread

>>9673026
>the Smash shill is telling others to stop
you both suck

>>9673026
He's so annoying

Melee is cool but Smash 64 is more nostalgic. None of my friends owned a N64 so we held torneys at my place all the time.

>>9673105
This is weird because everyone I knew owned a N64 and a copy of Smash. It was THE versus game of the late 90s.

>>9673021
Wasn't this cancelled after several years and the only thing we got was an incomplete demo with 4 playable characters or so?

>>9673021
That would’ve been a pretty cool snes title.

>>9673105
Melee has an amazing single player experience. I actually prefer og smash gameplay, dropped frames and all, but Melee has all those unlockables and single player options that just work. It’s a joy even if ur solo, and encourages actual solo play iirc because some of the characters are locked behind said stuff, so it was a race w your buddies to try and work through the SP to see if you could find and unlock secrets.

>>9672814
Of course I liked the slower speed and the chunkiness of all the impacts.

>>9672814
I don't like how melee is so fast

>>9673161
I burned myself out doing all the Melee single player content.

>>9673145

You must have been younger, a lot of us older kids were more playing Marvel and stuff

>>9673185
>us older kids were more playing Marvel
Stop larping, Dreamcast was niche.

>>9673207
It was on Playstation as well, which certainly wasn't niche. And Dreamcast, more niche as it was, was more popular with older kids at the time if anybody.

I mean if you were like 5 at the time, I get it, you don't need to try and pretend that's not the case.

>>9673145
How old were you when the N64 came out? That probably explains things.

Played it right at release back in '99. I sucked major balls at it, mained Link.
Nowadays I'm decent, main Ness and Jigglers.

>>9673021
Smash Bros if it had good weebcore characters instead of gay Fire Emblem bloat and eurojank'scots

>>9673207
MvC and X-Men vs SF was on arcades and PSX you stupid segafag.

>>9673369
Why did you call the person dissing Sega a Segafag?

>>9672825
Never considered this but I see what you mean.
Chrono Cross has some deliciously satisfying chunky sound effects with nice echoes. The critical hit sound effect for the MC's weapon is legitimately my favorite sound effect in vidya. Woefully underrated.

>>9672837
One of the worst “features” of this shit series. Often times people die more often from stage deaths than actual battle. The items are the best part, and even then it is hardly a fighting game.

>>9672814
>I get that Melee is forever written in history as the best ever
Only because the people who write history books are tasteless plebs obsessed with """competitive gaming"""

>>9673856
Melee is the best game on a casual level as well

>>9673869
Melee only exists on a casual level

>>9673869
I always preferred 64, even when Melee was new. Mainly I like how much harder the hits feel and how much more dangerous it is to get near 100% damage. Melee moved Smash in a direction toward relying on long combos to do any decent damage and making high damage percentages too survivable. Melee has much less of that scrappy party brawler feeling and generally doesn't feel as friendly for newcomers to pick up and play as 64.

Smash spammer sure is dumb

>>9674987
>Fighting games are competitive
>People generally agree on this and few would dispute this
>The most competitive of all fighting games are some of the most competitive games ever made
>Again, most would not dispute this
>Smash, Melee especially, is likely to be at least as competitive as any fighting game, given both the longevity of it's competitive scene, and the complete lack of any fighting game expert succeeding in coming close to mastering it
>This is clearly completely reasonable to anyone who's actually tried playing it seriously, as mastering it's movement mechanics, DI etc. are undoubtedly highly nuanced skills that have no equivalent in traditional fighting games, and there is nobody who has offered a reasonable argument against this

You will not succeed in refuting this.

>>9675163
Not him and obviously it's competitive because it's s multi-player game. But chess is more competitive than either Smash or Street Fighter anc is not a fighting game. Genre is not determined by simply whether something is competitive or not. Smash players can say all day long it's the most complex competitive game ever made but that doesn't change what it is.

>>9675163
Ok

>>9675163
>and the complete lack of any fighting game expert succeeding in coming close to mastering it

Who notable has tried and failed?

>>9672818
damn, you caught me. I would have totally FGC larped in this thread
