17 years ago... Wow, to think that this video came out at a time when even before Brawl was released, and 64 and Melee were all people had to play. Crazy.
Holy shit 11 years now, I rememer when I was a kid I watched this video and this is where I learned how to master Link with his slow moves, wow it's crazy to see that it was that many years ago and the video still alive so glad I found it again
This isn't an actual person playing its a computer program that allows the computer to manipulate the character so that it makes perfect moves at the perfect time. There is also one of perfect fox.
Davichi 283 yea it is called a tas or otherwise known as a tool assisted speedrun which allows you to make a string of inputs to make a perfect run or game in this case check them out they are really cool especially the super smash bros melee ones
This was the game I was trying to get when I was a young teen when I work over the summer and earn 100 dollars and try to purchased this game. my dad made me put it back and get my money back and get something more constructive. I still haven't played it but I think I would be a beast on it.
TAS means tool-assisted. Doesn't mean a bot did it, it means he used tools to either slow down frames/help with timing(s). He still has to construct the battle and execute/compile it all himself.
That is one hell of a TAS for you...two against one and it done perfectly not a single hit you will all be all be say wtf. Or we say just amazing, just completely amazing.
Link is the best Smash Brother Character. His smash moves are sick, and if you know how to use him, it's game over (especially since he has range too).
Amazing. I laughed at the end when you were about to kill Pikachu but your bomb actually prolonged its lifespan, just so you could finish it off a second later. Well done. 10/10
@DTX0217 *Link being lighter and more nimble than he is in Brawl and Melee w/out having to be as weak as Young/Toon Link is another aspect to be greatly appreciated. There are more reasons than that, but this is certainly enough to illustrate the point that the first SSB title had its advantages and was excellent in its own right.
@meni5678 TAS can also mean Tool Assisted Superplay. And he did do this by himself, he was just allowed to use restarts along with slowdown and frame by frame actions. (Though it doesn't look like he did many of those at all) And Isai's Link seems better :P
Well, there kinda is a difference. This is a TAS Video, Tool Assisted SuperRun/Speedrun, which means he probably played the game at 1 FPS to make sure he got all the button commands correct and accurate, which explains Link's fast responses.
@IOYB The reason why there's not that big of a gap in Brawl is because they removed some of the technical stuff in the game. @fajiste Chain grabs, and also using grabs to set up a kill.
@fajiste I'm going to have to mostly agree with you. While I admit that I personally think Melee and Brawl are overall better, in terms of art, music, features, sheer number of stages, larger and more varied character roster (and more alternate costume colors to boot), and miscellaneous implementations of creative design, the first SSB was quite incredible in its own right. Mostly for the reasons you mentioned, but also because of approach and presentation. Sure it's a bit dated, but not too b
Dude! That was fantastic! Link is like my second or third best character, and people always used to pick on me for using him. I wish I was as good as this back when. I'd have totally ripped them a new one. lol
I see so many comments saying it was tool assisted. The CPs are extremely predictable in smash 64. They have blind spots when you come at them from different altitude and are weak to projectiles that set up easy combos. You have to contend with the randomness of 2 of them though, the up b recovery that put you in front of pikachu is imperfect and left you wide open. Once you get it down to one CPU it is not difficult to defeat them without getting hit once.
TAS means tool assisted. Yes he used an emulator, but he also slowed the game down in order to time everything perfectly. It says in his profile that he does it in every video.
Holyyyy crap!! You're so good it's funny! Dang love the way your attacks connected...You didn't even get hurt once...but maybe they were level 1...hahaha
i wish i could play this link vs my link skills, id gladly accept a n64 challenge anyday, i have NEVER found anyone who could beat me. this guy seems like a fun challenge.
I can't think of a better game to pass the time with. I emulate it now cause i don't have my 64 anymore, but playing against 3 other people who know their way around the game makes for a much more interesting battle.
@DTX0217 *Sure, it's a bit dated, but not too badly. One could even say that the ways in which it is simpler than Melee and Brawl were actually aspects that made it more robust. To put it another way, if you view everything in a more narrowed scope, it will be much easier to focus on what's essential.
This guy is doing fine.. I play as Captain Falcon vs 3 level 9 donkey kongs and usually beat them easily enough. 1 donkey kong and 1 pikachu isn't so difficult. But using the boomerang isn't the greatest move. Link has some of the hardest hits as a character, but the boomerang is weak. Using the 360 spin might be better because it repels the characters away so you can focus on one to take out...
No fair, he got a heart container.
17 years ago... Wow, to think that this video came out at a time when even before Brawl was released, and 64 and Melee were all people had to play. Crazy.
Brawl was a disappointment even to my 11 year old self... even as a young casual i could tell we had lost out on all the speed from melee
2016 and still watching these :3
me too :D
2018
same
2019
2021
Holy shit 11 years now, I rememer when I was a kid I watched this video and this is where I learned how to master Link with his slow moves, wow it's crazy to see that it was that many years ago and the video still alive so glad I found it again
It is in fact a Tool Assisted Run. Meaning it uses the computer to make frame-perfect calculations, hits, and movements for flawless game play
Isn't it funny how so many people are acting like it's the user who played this without any assistance?
TylightDark
its juist tool assistent not a real player :D
This isn't an actual person playing its a computer program that allows the computer to manipulate the character so that it makes perfect moves at the perfect time. There is also one of perfect fox.

ah okay that makes sense, some of the moves pulled were just too perfect...
This was the game I was trying to get when I was a young teen when I work over the summer and earn 100 dollars and try to purchased this game. my dad made me put it back and get my money back and get something more constructive. I still haven't played it but I think I would be a beast on it.
That is a shame. One of the best games of all time imo.
shameDJ5 your dad is savage
F
have you played it yet
play it on an emulator online, that is what i did
Wow, this brings back so many memories, Link was perfect in this game.
Thanks for posting !
One of my favorite stages in Super Smash bros. 64!
Dude, if u are still watching these in 2020 u are a legend
This guy must be a Freakin' God or something.
Just a no life.
It's tool assisted, meaning a bot did it.
Its fucking fat
***** Holy Jesus that is awesome.
TAS means tool-assisted. Doesn't mean a bot did it, it means he used tools to either slow down frames/help with timing(s). He still has to construct the battle and execute/compile it all himself.
GOOD JOB, link! U didn't even get hurt once, im proud of you
wtfffffffffff 1:26 to 1:31
WOOOMBO COMBBOOOOOOOO
I love watching TAS videos. the're hella amusing
This is so Insane... ASIAN.
no just tool assistent
TAS's are the most entertaining videos on youtube, hands down.
rename this, LINK MURDERING PIKACHU
TAS or not, that was amazing.
First setup KO's on Pika and DK was orgasmic.
Still not Isai.
+mariosavage1 LOL
TAS
XD
I've rewatched this on occasion pretty much since it was uploaded, and 1:26 still blows me away.
OOOO, MYYY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
best fighting Link i've seen in a Smash Bros. game. totally awesome finisher there.
Yo juego mejor con link xD
I remember watching this a long time ago, along with a Fox TAS of classic mode.
Who else loves the *plink* noise when Link pulls out and throws his bombs?
one of the first youtube videos I ever watched
I once pulled this off. My friends were like HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?
Then I woke up.
i love it at 1:22 , he just picks up the heart container, sure it was a defensive move, but was it almost really needed lol
Not gonna lie, this shows how much of a menace Link would be if he could jump.
daaaaguuuum.... that link frigin OWNED them!! its been a while since i've even scene the original smash bros.
The background is pretty cool. I forgot how epic this game was.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
that was some sexy lining up with the boomerang thing
I miss this stage, it was a favorite of mine, along with the Pokemon one and Sector Z. I really miss those stages in the newer SSB games.
I remember when Pikachu's screams weren't so sad in 64
That's the cool thing about TAS Link in SSB. The way he is played when perfect looks completely do-able...unlike Ness and Yoshi :(
That finale combo was fucking beautiful.
That is one hell of a TAS for you...two against one and it done perfectly not a single hit you will all be all be say wtf. Or we say just amazing, just completely amazing.
i like the end when you throw boomerang and hit pikachu into it while he is recovering
Link is the best Smash Brother Character. His smash moves are sick, and if you know how to use him, it's game over (especially since he has range too).
Amazing. I laughed at the end when you were about to kill Pikachu but your bomb actually prolonged its lifespan, just so you could finish it off a second later. Well done. 10/10
Link always gets the heart.
o_O
From one Link user to another, I must say, "Holy crap! That's freakin' awesome!"
@DTX0217 *Link being lighter and more nimble than he is in Brawl and Melee w/out having to be as weak as Young/Toon Link is another aspect to be greatly appreciated. There are more reasons than that, but this is certainly enough to illustrate the point that the first SSB title had its advantages and was excellent in its own right.
Even though this game isn't new and doesn't have new fancy graphics this is still my Favorite Video game of all time
ur aim with the boomerang and bombs is extraordinary
@meni5678 TAS can also mean Tool Assisted Superplay. And he did do this by himself, he was just allowed to use restarts along with slowdown and frame by frame actions. (Though it doesn't look like he did many of those at all) And Isai's Link seems better :P

Thats what link should be like, he is a king amongst men!
LOL awesome. Isai is the only player I've ever seen have a TAS video mistaken for footage of him actually playing.
This is my favourite multiplayer game of all time!
@IOYB The reason why there's not that big of a gap in Brawl is because they removed some of the technical stuff in the game.
@fajiste Chain grabs, and also using grabs to set up a kill.
In SSB64, you can cancel the landing lag of any aerial by pressing Z right before you hit the ground; this is known as Z-canceling.
THAT...WAS.EPIC
its always great to see link owning
brings back memories. this was one of the first video games i've ever played. my older brother used to whoop me with kirby every time lol
Donkey Kong 0:29 - "flexin' mah musclez...!"
This may all special programmed AI, but the visual was awesome!
this is old. but this still looks as cool as the recent one.
and ROFL at everyone who has commented saying they think they could "beat this guy" when it's not even a human playing, it's a TAS!
I love how link throws a bomb in the air and makes dk get hit right in the fsace with it XD
@fajiste

hmph......(walks away mysteriously)
Dude! That was fantastic! Link is like my second or third best character, and people always used to pick on me for using him. I wish I was as good as this back when. I'd have totally ripped them a new one. lol
=O
Link! Link! Link! Link!
The last part with the boomerang was
amazing
the best voice of pikachu
You planed all of your moves perfectly
Awesome TAS, sweet finish.
This is isai when he's warming up.
:34 that was a really smart move
That boomerang has a mind of its own :S
Omg, we play so alike with the Bommerang and Bomb usage.
I wanna play you!!!!

I mean, the link is really good, but the pikachu and dk clearly didn't know what they were doing.
God I forgot how awesome his boomerang is in the original.
I thought I was good with Link. I tip me hat to you, sir.
just goes to show how beastly link can be when used correctly.
This is great man, keep posting videos of your awesomeness
DAMN SON. if that was you, that was pretty bad ass. I assume the computers were level nine. Either way, to not get hit once is pretty boss.
Announcer: "FLAWLESS VICTORY."
Chuck Norris, it's you, master?
THE CHOSEN ONE HAS COME
1:26 to 1:32 is just beautiful. The coup de gras, if you will.
i've already seen a guy crushing 3 players at the same time. it was in my school, in a challenge, and the guy defeated 3 players with Ness
...I thought I was really good at this game until I watched this..haha. I love playing as Link
Now THAT is how a HERO fights!
*sigh*
i miss old school smash bros
TAS means tool assisted. Yes he used an emulator, but he also slowed the game down in order to time everything perfectly. It says in his profile that he does it in every video.
Holyyyy crap!! You're so good it's funny! Dang love the way your attacks connected...You didn't even get hurt once...but maybe they were level 1...hahaha
i wish i could play this link vs my link skills, id gladly accept a n64 challenge anyday, i have NEVER found anyone who could beat me. this guy seems like a fun challenge.
Loved the video and love the super smash series
Cool TAS :p Anyway, how'd you cancel the airial down+A attack like you did there? I mean, by not landing with the sword stuck in thr ground o_O
TAS stands for "Tool Assisted." It means he used save states and slowed the game down to play perfectly. Doesn't mean it's not cool, though.
Well done man. I'm truly impressed
I can't think of a better game to pass the time with. I emulate it now cause i don't have my 64 anymore, but playing against 3 other people who know their way around the game makes for a much more interesting battle.
That was actually Isai playing SSB with his feet.
@DTX0217 *Sure, it's a bit dated, but not too badly. One could even say that the ways in which it is simpler than Melee and Brawl were actually aspects that made it more robust. To put it another way, if you view everything in a more narrowed scope, it will be much easier to focus on what's essential.
OoT is my Fav. Since there took that Twillight-Princess-Link I'm not playing him very often
this guy is so good at this game!
This guy is doing fine.. I play as Captain Falcon vs 3 level 9 donkey kongs and usually beat them easily enough. 1 donkey kong and 1 pikachu isn't so difficult. But using the boomerang isn't the greatest move. Link has some of the hardest hits as a character, but the boomerang is weak. Using the 360 spin might be better because it repels the characters away so you can focus on one to take out...
It's a TAS, so basically he played it on an emulator in super slow mo and used save states so it would be absolutely perfect
