Matthew Smart hmmmm... I recognize you from somewhere. Didn’t you give NB a simpleflips meme code for Balloon World and then get a shoutout from him in a video.
Melee and Smash 4 are both my favorites but I do prefer this game more than Brawl because of one fucking mechanic, the slip mechanic! It was retarded as all hell and I remember when my brother and I would stage this long run attack and both our characters fell flat on their asses.
The thing about Scott's old videos is that the writing is as amazing and witty as the newer ones, but you can definitely tell that new Scott has more confidence in speaking.
Honestly, Smash 64 is still my favorite, and I still find myself having the most fun playing this with friends and going back to it most often. All of it’s stages are fun to play on and none of them are too gimmicky. Plus, all of the characters are balanced and fun to use.
ShitpostingAtheist Melee has Roy and Ganondorf, and it has filler characters like Dr. Mario and Pichu. Brawl has random tripping. Smash 4 has dlc characters like Bayonetta and Cloud that were made to be better than the ones already on the game. Don’t get me wrong, I love all smash games, but with stuff like that you can’t argue that they’re more balanced than the original.
@@MrMarinus18 More likely it was to help promote EarthBound 64, which was in early development around that time and formally announced seven months after SSB was released.

Trevor Abruzzo: Nah they have great points. Smash 64 feels pure. For ex its clearly the most balanced one in series by far. Hitstun actually exists and gameplay feels simple /fun. In contrast the next 2 games: SSBM is laughably unbalanced. The top5 or so characters wipe their butt with everyone else. Techniques like chain grab/shine only exasperated it against inferior ones. Brawl has a retarded shileding/ air dodging system, absurdly floaty and the ridiculous 3rd jumps. Didnt play Smash Ultimate so no comment on that one
@ "MOST BALANCED" Lmao good joke. I love smash 64 and spent so much time playing it as a kid, but it's exactly that. A rough prototype for games down the line and if you think it's somehow superior you need to take your nostalgia glasses off, genwunner. Pikachu is listed as the undisputable S tier of the game due to having just plain better attacks and frame data. Melee is an exception and cannot really be compared to because the meta surrounding that game is mainly based around unintentional glitches and exploits. Your only comparison is Brawl and you just stated you didn't play the two newest entries. Sounds to me your bias is heavily skewed and can't really be used to gauge smash 64 as the purest of the bunch. Even then praising something purely based off of "purity" just comes off as "I don't want to celebrate and discover other games and just want the same vanilla tic tac toe" We have a phrase for something like that in computer engineering "If it runs perfectly, there are not enough features on it"

You know, it's funny how people always say "Smash is easy to understand" yet when I try to teach someone to play it for the first time it's always a massive challenge. xD They just fall off the side of the stage instantly over and over and it's always hilarious watching them learn over a long period of time how to actually get back to the stage... that or they just give up and demand we go back to playing anime fighting games.

Scott is easily becoming one of my favourite RUclipsrs. He does what he does well, and there’s a substantial amount of effort towards what he does. Keep up the good work, Scott!
You have to realize that at the time, Nintendo was far less focused on the foreign market in the late 90's, and strictly made Japanese games for the Japanese. Jigglypuff was initially going to be the only Pokemon rep because she was basically the Japanese's Pikachu, rivaling the actual Pikachu in popularity as number one. I believe they included Pikachu first after reconsidering just how crazy popular Pikachu was getting world wide. Dont take my word for this though, as I was only four at the time and not Japanese, but from what I understand and have read on various places, this is true.
I somewhat doubt that story. Pikachu had already been Ash's partner for over a year at that point and Pokémon yellow came out that exact same year as well. Pikachu was already firmly cemented as the mascot of Pokémon. But if they wanted another Pokémon ref there were basically 2 choices: Jigglipuff or Meoth.
9:20 believe it or not, that level design is actually a slight artistic yet accurate take on the model of the top of Hyrule castle from Ocarina of Time, which is usually a bit hard to get a good look at.
As a 27 year old dude I felt like a fuckin Sherlock Holmes when I was 6 and snuck into the garden outside hyrule castle to prove this to a friend from school.
The flow of 64 is my favorite, not insanely fast all the time and I can still string together long and satisfying combos and the sound effects make it that much more satisfying. Mechanic wise it's my favorite equal with Melee but I really don't like how a standard 64 controller makes the game feel and lack of single player. Other than that I disagree with your stance on it but I totally get where you're coming from.
Damien Nasta Exactly. I love the flow as well and punching sound effects. I prefer the gameplay of the 64 version than the ones after it. The ones after just seemed a bit too fast and i felt like i had less control of the character.
Ever since I was a kid, I would almost never go out or watch TV, so for the majority of my life I dedicated it to Smash 64, but then just recently I got Melee for my Wii....and I felt alienated, I can't control my fireball game, smashes take to long to come out, Mario/Luigi up-B sucks...I'm just used to 64 that I can't play any other version
You living under a rock?? Raphnet gamecube controller to n64 adapter!

Mallow: N64 had the best combo system. Melee lowered hitstun too much and characters were absurdly imbalanced. Most characters feel yseless besides the best 5 or 6.
I played this back in '99 when I was still in college for only one afternoon and forgot all about it afterwards, dismissed it as a game for young children. Never thought it would become this huge franchise.
My oldest memory of smash is as a kid, i was at someone’s house playing melee. It was so amazing to see all the different characters. I was only about 7 so I thought that it was a dream for years until i saw gameplay of it on RUclips nearly 8 years later.
I can't tell you the amount of hours my friends and I spent playing this game growing up. We were playing this on a somewhat regular basis as late as 2015 - it's just too good!
well technically its there but not available outside of the master hand fight, besides what i really want is that stage with all the giant crystals in it
Ness was added due to smash 64 due to 1. Sakurai likes the Mother Series and it's MASSIVE in Japan, even back then, and 2. Some of the team who worked on EarthBound also made Smash 64, so its not unreasonable to think that they had some say in squeezing Ness into 64.
I hate that theres like 8 fire emblies like at least pokemon has the excuse of them all being different but the fire emblies are just sword person, sword person, fire sword person, sword person, water sword person, sword person, sword person with more than a sword but pretty much just a sword person
As a 34 y/o man, this was my favorite game on the N64, and the feeling of being the best among your school buddies was priceless... But after several years and a couple of new entries, I stop buying consoles at the Wii... (I have played SSB4, and would love to get Ultimate to my oldest kid)... my favorite Super Smash is.... PROJECT M V3.6 I play this one with my kid almost every week and the balance and rooster is very good. It has a faster pace and it definitely replaced the regular Brawl as my go-to Super Smash. I wish Nintendo would have hired the modders of PM and bring them on board of the development of newer ones.
The one thing I really miss from this Smash game that never made it into the others was the Board The Platform mini game. I always found it weirdly more satisfying that Break The Target
My friends and I were in "High" School playing this when it came out, we were literally in tears laughing so hard sometimes beating the living sh*t out of each other, the more dramatic the death.
The first time I saw the commercial for Smash 64 was in 7th grade. We were sitting in class one morning and the teacher always had the tv on before class started, watching the news and stuff and Smash 64's first commercial came on. It was rad.
I actually liked the static 1p Mode of 64 over future randomized Classic Modes. It felt like a journey or a gauntlet where each fight's set place gave it personality, like battling the Elite Four (the Fox fight was always my 'Shit got real' moment for a run) rather than just a random assortment of battles.
4 года назад
PersonMan000: I agree all the matches just 'felt' right. The 2vs2 fight with Mario Bros, Giant Donkey Kong, Metal Mario etc. n later games its dumb how you have fights like "metal pikmin" for ex. The N64 1P mode not being random made it feel complete somehow
@@jomaq9233 I'm glad they're back, but I'm kind of bummed that they all have unique stages for it. The one, unifying stage in 64 made it fun to try and master, find the best character, or figure out how to get unorthodox characters to work with the stage design. If I was designing Ultimate, I'd give a selection of stages that all the characters could pick from, so that we could get that level of mastery and experimentation back while still expanding the scope for the new game.

Every time I watch a video I experience a “lol” moment. Scott, if you read this, you’re a welcomed part of the community and I’m excited to see where you take this channel!
It should be noted that Ness and Captain Falcon were not as obscure in Japan as they were in the rest of the world. Also, Jiggylypuff had more fandom back then because of a running joke in Pokemon, which was SUPER popular. And Donkey Kong at the time was lacking proper moves back then for a fighting game.

Never knew that was apart of Smash.
Honestly loving your videos so much! Keep it up Woz. Proud of you.
Smash 64 the times when Kirby was high tier

I still can't belive Sakurai screw the heck out of his only character in Melee
@@mariajimenafigueroa8311 It’s almost impressive how god awful Kirby, Bowser and Gannondorf are in Melee.
@@Exeggutor_Enjoyer No, Ganondorf is decent in Melee, Brawl Ganon's the shit stain.
Time for the best 12 minutes of my life!
A Random Silas same
Eh, I'm going to make a bet that it will be surpassed by the next Scott video that is 12 minutes long.
A Random Silas and 49 Seconds
You should go over all the games in the series before the launch of smash 5!
@@Andrew-gv6br Watching these past people who live without smash ultimate make me polish the game cover before playing it....
I dont even have a nintendo switch
The flow of 64 is my favorite, not insanely fast all the time and I can still string together long and satisfying combos and the sound effects make it that much more satisfying. Mechanic wise it's my favorite equal with Melee but I really don't like how a standard 64 controller makes the game feel and lack of single player. Other than that I disagree with your stance on it but I totally get where you're coming from.
Damien Nasta Exactly. I love the flow as well and punching sound effects. I prefer the gameplay of the 64 version than the ones after it. The ones after just seemed a bit too fast and i felt like i had less control of the character.
Combos are ridiculously long in Smash 64 and that's part of the reason it's my second favorite in the series after Melee.
Ever since I was a kid, I would almost never go out or watch TV, so for the majority of my life I dedicated it to Smash 64, but then just recently I got Melee for my Wii....and I felt alienated, I can't control my fireball game, smashes take to long to come out, Mario/Luigi up-B sucks...I'm just used to 64 that I can't play any other version
You living under a rock?? Raphnet gamecube controller to n64 adapter!
Mallow: N64 had the best combo system. Melee lowered hitstun too much and characters were absurdly imbalanced. Most characters feel yseless besides the best 5 or 6.
I played this back in '99 when I was still in college for only one afternoon and forgot all about it afterwards, dismissed it as a game for young children. Never thought it would become this huge franchise.
Congrats on the 1 million!!
You really are one of the funniest dudes on all of RUclips. Every time you make a new vid, it makes me smile. Keep it up, my dude!

when its september 1 and schools starting again
And a year later, boom school part 2
My oldest memory of smash is as a kid, i was at someone’s house playing melee. It was so amazing to see all the different characters. I was only about 7 so I thought that it was a dream for years until i saw gameplay of it on RUclips nearly 8 years later.
I can't tell you the amount of hours my friends and I spent playing this game growing up. We were playing this on a somewhat regular basis as late as 2015 - it's just too good!
0/10 no Final Destination.
You need GameShark hacks to access Final Destination in Smash 64.
KingSkyLord I know, this was a joke.
well technically its there but not available outside of the master hand fight, besides what i really want is that stage with all the giant crystals in it
Whispy
David Hoyos Yes
Ness was added due to smash 64 due to 1. Sakurai likes the Mother Series and it's MASSIVE in Japan, even back then, and 2. Some of the team who worked on EarthBound also made Smash 64, so its not unreasonable to think that they had some say in squeezing Ness into 64.
You know your watching an old scott the woz video when his background looks like that
there's one super good part about the metal mario fight in this, it's the music
When they announced Byleth as the 5th Challenger Pack 0:14
Despite saying 6 more characters are coming.
I hate that theres like 8 fire emblies like at least pokemon has the excuse of them all being different but the fire emblies are just sword person, sword person, fire sword person, sword person, water sword person, sword person, sword person with more than a sword but pretty much just a sword person
The first Scott the Woz video I watched with my "Hey all, Scott here" shirt on
As a 34 y/o man, this was my favorite game on the N64, and the feeling of being the best among your school buddies was priceless... But after several years and a couple of new entries, I stop buying consoles at the Wii... (I have played SSB4, and would love to get Ultimate to my oldest kid)... my favorite Super Smash is.... PROJECT M V3.6 I play this one with my kid almost every week and the balance and rooster is very good. It has a faster pace and it definitely replaced the regular Brawl as my go-to Super Smash. I wish Nintendo would have hired the modders of PM and bring them on board of the development of newer ones.
The one thing I really miss from this Smash game that never made it into the others was the Board The Platform mini game. I always found it weirdly more satisfying that Break The Target
Smash Bros is fun and all but we all have to remember
It all started because Mario tripped Yoshi
Brown vs the board of education! That was so perfect
0:12 Scott- I love smash tour
me- ಠ_ಠ
Smash Tour > Melee
I freaking hate it
It’s ironic
I'm pretty sure that was a joke
My friends and I were in "High" School playing this when it came out, we were literally in tears laughing so hard sometimes beating the living sh*t out of each other, the more dramatic the death.
...I'm scared.
"we're greeted with a hearty" -ad starts- "Hi guys, I'm Maddie..."
The first time I saw the commercial for Smash 64 was in 7th grade. We were sitting in class one morning and the teacher always had the tv on before class started, watching the news and stuff and Smash 64's first commercial came on. It was rad.
"Mario vs Link, Samus vs Kirby, Brown vs Board of Education."
Ah yes, my favorite match ups of all time. Especially Brown vs Board.
This video deserves a solid "Neat'
"It's passable"... I may have to fight this guy.
"How the f*** did he get a Captain Falcon doll" 😂
Pokémon and Smash Bros. are the games that brought me back into Nintendo’s fold.
My favorite part of the video 0:17
The Brown Vs Board Of Education joke killed me 😂
“We have a wide variety of mode.” I fucking died
was this in the lore
Watch 0:00 to 0:04 and then quickly click on 0:16
Flawless intro
"After the logo appears we're greeted with a hearty... "
*Ad pops up*
Dude, that happened to me too.
I actually liked the static 1p Mode of 64 over future randomized Classic Modes. It felt like a journey or a gauntlet where each fight's set place gave it personality, like battling the Elite Four (the Fox fight was always my 'Shit got real' moment for a run) rather than just a random assortment of battles.
PersonMan000: I agree all the matches just 'felt' right. The 2vs2 fight with Mario Bros, Giant Donkey Kong, Metal Mario etc. n later games its dumb how you have fights like "metal pikmin" for ex. The N64 1P mode not being random made it feel complete somehow
How do you feel about Ultimate going back to that… but with every character getting their own specific fixed route
@@jomaq9233 I'm glad they're back, but I'm kind of bummed that they all have unique stages for it. The one, unifying stage in 64 made it fun to try and master, find the best character, or figure out how to get unorthodox characters to work with the stage design.
If I was designing Ultimate, I'd give a selection of stages that all the characters could pick from, so that we could get that level of mastery and experimentation back while still expanding the scope for the new game.
@@PersonMan000 well that is definitely a hot take that… most people wouldn’t have
@@jomaq9233 Is what a hot take is
3:47 That was my exact reaction to that scene from the intro.
i started crying when you said Brown vs The Board of Education lol
If they only knew what would happen 10,000 years later to Hyrule Castle
Today, Scott squeals about the 64th first smash bros.
I always thought the smash ball looked in brawl looked like a power rangers helmet
Lol thought he said “I love smash so much I could cream!”
Videogamegopher c r e a m
“Cream”?? 🤣🤣🤣
Anthony Westover yes, that kind of cream 😏😏😏😏
@Snekcharmer why do you all of the RUclips internet forum filled with videos want to r34 Scott
0:16 when you nut but she keep suckin
You should do a video of the Nintendo controllers throughout the years
You predicted the future

The two section is the percentage of smash bro’s roster that’s fire emblem
The hit noises and crowd screams after you send someone flying is just so satisfying
0:16 How everyone reacted when byleth got in smash ultimate
Me: Just chillin sipping some soda pop.
“Mario vs. Link, Samus vs. Kirby, Brown vs. Board of education.”

I feel personally attacked
I’ve been a fan of videos games since I was old enough to hold a Sega Genesis controller and Scott is the first time I’ve seen someone successfully add humor to its commentary. Every time I watch a video I experience a “lol” moment.
Scott, if you read this, you’re a welcomed part of the community and I’m excited to see where you take this channel!
Aaah yes, Pokemon from Great Britain
11:18 kind of sound like Lavender town from Let's Go
I was waiting for “The salt, The bans, the horrible fan base who spams every Nintendo direct chat”
1:15 Shoutouts to simpleflips

No, simpleflips fan. It's important to shout him out whenever his hymn appears.

Super Smash Bros. (N64) The First One, Apparently
It should be noted that Ness and Captain Falcon were not as obscure in Japan as they were in the rest of the world. Also, Jiggylypuff had more fandom back then because of a running joke in Pokemon, which was SUPER popular. And Donkey Kong at the time was lacking proper moves back then for a fighting game.
Smash 64's intro is the best. FITE ME.
Also, call me a nerd, but that part at the end with the announcer gives me chills every time.
Dr Ductape nah i agree
It's kind of sad to know most general audiences are just gonna know characters like Captain Falcon or Ness from Smash Bros and nothing else.
0:54 Yep, STEVE is a gaming legend!
Me: (sees fire emblem) ok that looks pretty fun...
(Sees banjo Kazooie) AAAHHHHH GET THE GUN!!!!!
The inclusion of Ness was the reason I danced wildly as a child. No one had heard of Earthbound in my town.
