[TAS] N64 Super Smash Bros. "playaround" by Noxxa in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4450M
TAS originally published on 2021-05-11
Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 (usually referred to as Smash 64) is the first installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, developed by HAL Laboratory, directed by Masahiro Sakurai, published by Nintendo and released in 1999. The game became a commercial success, spawning various sequels on future Nintendo consoles, with many of the games in the franchise still having thriving competitive scenes to this day.
This movie is focused on entertainment, beating 1P Mode on Very Hard difficulty as Fox McCloud while defeating opponents in the most technical and stylish ways possible. This movie obsoletes the predecessor movie ( tasvideos.org/1190M ) as it is seen as being more entertaining.
Another movie, which aims for fastest completion time instead, can be watched here ( tasvideos.org/2842M ). There is also a movie that aims to complete all the "Board the Platforms" and "Break the Targets" bonus stages with all characters that can be watched here ( tasvideos.org/3493M ).

Fighting Ness at the end was like hanging out after a movie to see a extra scene

[@RockStoneLee19]

Ahh the post credits scenes lol

[@WannaDropAgain88]

I was just about to say "nice post credit scene" lmao!!!!!

[@Mr._Mr]

Waiting for the Smash 64 TAS sequel starring NES.

[@cosmicdunsparce]

Man was playing Melee Fox here and it was glorious to see

[@hikuro14]

Man I love TAS playarounds so much

[@KCzz15]

ikr? Often so much more fun than regular TASes of the same game.

[@Morpheus414]

That part with Fox just _laying on his back_ 🤣

[@somefries3101]

he's just chilling

[@YourFrienjamin]

Or the part he had lasers shot at either side of his face...
Epic 🤤

[@benjaminluna64]

That combo on Link was an absolute masterpiece.

[@Geneolgia]

As much as I like the later Smash entries Smash 64 will always have a special place in my heart, the combos you can pull off are absolutely crazy and devastating.

[@hayael9151]

❗️You can now use the child genius, Ness.

[@trashlambo]

1:46 Love how the hits were synced to the music

[@buttherewasnojanus6637]

3:30 Perfection.

[@FerrariMekhari]

the windows 95 sound and 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 secret char unlock sound at the and has to be the sound that makes me the happiest in my entire life. I’ll be 30 in February. I was in first grade or kindergarten when this came out. Has been my favorite game ever since and I believe I associate the feeling of happiness with that sound an would stare at this unlock character, achievement, screen for hours after the sound went off, mesmerized, wishing that it had looped. Reminds me of season one, Pokémon in the morning, eating cereal, preparing for school a much simpler time when everyone was alive, right? Everyone was happy… how far have we fallen man

[@0PercentImagination]

Kinda wish the newer smash bros games still had the score system like 64 and melee had tbh, especially since it would reward you for doing insane things (as you see in the results screen of this video).

[@palidopali]

I think they kinda do but in the background or something. If you ask me the GSP formula Id say I have no fidea

[@inakilbss]

@@palidopali gsp is how many people your score beats

[@Oh-Ben]

Sakurai brought it up in one of his videos. Put simply translation issues. Was easy when you had 2 or 3 versions, now Smash has over 10.

[@zornor]

that combo starting from 6:59 is incredible

[@seronymus]

Please explain

[@ThMrksman]

@@seronymus He threw the magic wand up at 7:00 to knock one of the enemies into the path of his home run bat swing later. Such a cool use of the items!

[@LuminousLead]

Those No Miss bonuses really add up!

[@Damian_1989]

At this point "INCREDIBLE" isn't enough, the narrator should just say "HOLY SHIT"

[@evknucklehead]

Fun Fact: There's a rare occurrence in Quake III Arena which causes the announcer to utter that very phrase. I forget what triggered it, though.

[@Damian_1989]

I remember that, i think you have to kill an enemy JUST before they score a point in Capture the Flag

[@EddieSpaghetti69]

@@Damian_1989 It also happens when you're down a few points in DM or TDM, jump to first, then win as a result of the final impact.
It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it feels *wonderful.*

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

... A part of me was actually shocked when Crazy Hand didn't show up... I had to stop and remember that Crazy Hand wasn't a thing until Melee. X_X

[@ImperialDecree]

TAS makes ass whoopins so satisfying 20 years later 😊

[@D_Winds]

All that, just to unlock Ness.

[@comentaristacomun3414]

*"speed demon"* terminal montage i see your vibes here

[@MsLachula7]

yeah cause he defeated the whole game under 10 minutes

[@lamptrent]

4:28 What you did to that Link Kirby is a warcrime, holy shit

[@alecrutz6979]

that Giant DK disrespecc tho lmfao

[@m_5373]

TAS playarounds are the best!

[@xIncisions]

Mom: "you've got 7 minutes and 55 seconds before I'm coming up to turn that N64 off"
Me:

[@wwetitle818]

Here we see Fox stretching for Melee.

[@SeltonXD120st]

This is really a H I Y A H !
a HIYAH smash fight quest!

[@lukezieroth8044]

Speaking of, I’ve always wondered if someone could make a Maximum Score TAS for a smash game

[@epik-bruh]

funny, i was just wondering the same

[@nicolasfrechette6285]

this has been done already... it's not perfect, but 2.6 million seems to be around the limit....
ua-cam.com/video/Ih8vVGRvWCw/v-deo.html
but you can remove the time and inflict infinite damage and you could get infinite point technically. There is way to it RTA as well most notably creating a "black hole" using link invisi-bomb

[@joshuahaynes1026]

Link was such a good sport to be your tag team partner against the mario bros. After the thrashing he got.

[@Alexs23743]

Noxxa has apparently figured out how to make an unholy fusion of Mêlée Fox, Brawl Metaknight, Smash 4 Bayonetta, and Ultimate Hero, all manifesting as the former...in Smash 64. *HIYAAAAA!!!* (makes 80 billion Shine noises)

[@aplsed]

Fighting game playarounds are amazing TASes to see.

[@isacroma7760]

That TAS play was awesome!

[@AfrewSpines]

Yoshi’s Story ending perfectly on the cadence of the music was a nice touch. Not sure if it was intentional, but it was nice nonetheless, lol

[@BLACKPHILANTHROPY]

really made Link look like a genius with those bombs lol

[@aliendude99]

This was so fun to watch, miss playing this game 😭😂

[@CinemaStormz]

This is really awesome keep up the good work!

[@CapnLexCrunch]

That was really nice of you to make your computer allies feel like they contributed

[@serv-on]

Now this was a cool tas

[@hayael9151]

I rarely upvote them and this got a like from me. Even the poses were on point. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@BapoBoompa]

I feel like I witnessed multiple and consecutive violations of the geneva convention.

[@MyHatDefinesMe]

Man, 20XX existed even before the year 20XX

[@Lenoh]

4:38 Starring Yoshi-Kirby as a cymbal

[@RocketPower95]

As a Fox main, I approve this 👍

[@graduator14]

Awesome TAS!

[@thaddeuschambers528]

You’re doing a great job

[@areallyhappyskittle__1714]

Just beautiful 2:00 🎉

[@jsphn2008]

God.

[@koholintisland2167]

I like the part where fox McCloud smashes the guy off the side.

[@WannabeMarysue]

my uncle, who worked at Nintendo, used to play Smash like this.

[@ZetTroxX]

That last Kirby kill looks like a Prince combo lol

[@sandcatapult4044]

A man of culture I see

[@yanferrer5673]

Epic

[@odelay1]

The ClefairyxBeedrill swarm is so funny idk why

[@dangeloperkins6847]

Amazing skills!

[@_drippinjayyden_]

2:00 Epic 🤌🏾🔥

[@nagromgreen]

The camera at the end; slowly backing away after dropping the fox doll on the desk…

[@verpaule]

Melee fox origin story

[@Akuretaki_Nikolay]

veru good ! gg

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I love Smash 64, I wish it got the love other games did, it's so flashy to watch.

[@chackbro1]

"playaround" is accurate because they're using the CPUs as their play things

[@YourFrienjamin]

Love TAS clips, but be careful - blink and you'll miss what's happening

[@SvviftDeath]

TAS Playaround or a Prince Combo Compilation 🤣🤣🤣

[@kekula69]

i wonder what happened to that guy after he unlocked the child genius, ness

[@cadubrasiloficial9837]

Very Hard is crazy, you,re soo fast

[@Deception2000]

Bah gawd what amazes me is which facility he did got máster hand over

[@AdanIsMyRealName]

1:47 love how the hit sound copy the Music 7:22

[@deathblowringo4168]

How Long I'll have to wait for Super Smash Bros. Remix classic mode TAS?

[@nicolasfrechette6285]

forever unless you work on it

[@TheUltimateRare]

the fact they have a no damage clear as an option for Very hard is such a troll. it's basically impossible without This: A tas.

[@HectorLuisYT]

😎

[@FerrariMekhari]

like watching f*ckin Neo on the Matrix

[@josephjennings3146]

4:35 - coincidentally fighting to the music

[@basuramarina9145]

6:17 epicooo

[@yoyoprofessorxavier]

After DK he made fox look like he was laying on the platform ha

[@DougSalad]

Are we not rendering N64 games at higher internal resolution anymore?

[@ezgames6925]

We’re normalizing the use of AngryLion encoding, upscaled N64 can very often introduce visual bugs that are a pain to fix.

[@dragooncroft]

2:39 link helped

[@j43m69]

Is it actually possible to play like this?

[@amaterachu1]

When will competitive look like this

[@whYLiE09]

This makes me lol

[@boyfriendninjahtfunkers]

😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@Maxi-Gonz.]

Now I get why my cousin always have beaten me. He mained Fox while I mained a simple Mario…

[@arahok7675]

ironically TAS in classic smash bros is like what was my regular play in this game at my 17

[@sebaaaaaaaa]

nah bro fr is just humiliating coms

[@nononame26]

All I see here is normal tournament-level fox gameplay.....

[@Iforgotlolgyh]

Nah fox is level 10

[@MasterZebulin]

Showoff...
Also, that is a *shitload* of points...

[@jorgesiolo8258]

What is "TAS"?
(Sorry my ingles is so terrible 😅)

[@lemguins7031]

"Tool-assisted-speedrun" They used a program to input the players movements in other words.
