The Forgotten Tech in Brawl is Absurd

  • What kind of ancient, mystical tech is hidden within Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Almost every character has something special - tag along as I break it all down and showcase Brawl’s uniquely-defined skill expression.

    Music used:
    Intro / Knockout City - Beat Feet n Bounce
    -1:41 / Castlevania Dracula X - Stage 1: Bloodlines
    -5:06 / Ridge Racer Type 4 - Naked Glow
    -6:34 / NEO The World Ends with You - Wander Around Shibuya
    -8:58 / Anarchy Reigns - Gotta Get The Cash (an instrumental version I found on UA-cam)

    Some notes/interesting info from the comments:
    -at 3:09, I was told that the clip I used was reskinned Brawl, but some people looked into it more & found out it's actually PM. The info is still accurate, just not quite as effective as shown.
    -at 6:01, the Sonic tech "can be done from aerial spin charge (ASC/down-B) by pressing C stick to the side midair or by pressing c stick very slightly after releasing the side-B and right as the hop starts," courtesy of @ratchetkadenson9262
    -at 5:47, the MK Quicktilt is technically not "character-specific" and is, instead, a result of the buffering system. also courtesy of @ratchetkadenson9262
    -at 7:14, there has apparently been a newer(very slightly easier) way of performing the Dragonic Reverse. "You can actually do the inputs slightly differently: jump - jump + a works better than trying to do 3 seperate inputs, for the second action (jump + a) you can actually also combine it with holding a direction since reversing also works with moves like bair, dair, fair, etc. A suggestion is to use X or Y combined with the A button. If you miss the frame 1 version, I think it also works on frame 3, just not on frame 2 as you showed off in the vid." courtesy of @BrawlCentral
    -"Regarding the chain jacket glitch(at 10:15); it turns out there's a fairly consistent setup involving buffering needle charge and cancelling that needle charge immediately with a shield input, if you side b after you should be in the jacket state, this also works if you just run off the bottom platforms on battlefield." also courtesy of ‪@BrawlCentral‬
    -For the Pikachu segment, I said “true infinite” but ‪@imESAM‬ says it’s actually SDI-able(and therefore not technically an infinite, since they can eventually escape). That’s my mistake! Pikachu is still very cool though :)
    -Bowser players in the comments have said that Koopa Hopping was actually fairly useful in Bowser’s kit, so I’d probably bump that tech up to “useful.” Apparently it gives his jump a tiny bit more height? Really cool stuff!
    -5:37 Quick minor note, the Pokemon Trainer quick-switching was called "Baton Passing" by PT mains! -courtesy of ‪@XylessBrawl‬
    -8:43 Lucas's jump tech was formally called "Zap Jump," which I meant to include (in parenthesis) but forgot. -also courtesy of @XylessBrawl
    .
    I strive for accuracy on these videos, but I'm not perfect! It can be hard to source information on this game. I also get a lot of info from character specialists in the comments, and try to update info here for accuracy, clarity, & archival purposes. Thanks for watching :)

    This one especially was a ton of fun to record, since I had to teach myself a lot of the tech I wasn't previously familiar with. It was more of a tech showcase rather than a dive into specific mechanics like the first, but I tried to still make it interesting(definitely helps when the Brawl community names things like "THE FLIGHT OF GANON" and "DRAGONIC REVERSE" lol). I have the next 2 videos planned out, but I would love to hear what you'd like to see in future videos :)

    One character specific tech I know that wasn’t mentioned is known as “crawl sliding”. As the name suggests, it only works with characters that can crawl. The way it works is that while walking in one direction, you then quickly transition to crouch and then the reverse direction and return the stick to neutral (easiest to perform by doing a sort of half circle back motion). All of your forward walking momentum will be reversed causing you to slide backwards while facing forwards (similar to a wavedash backwards in Melee). However, this tech is overall somewhat slow to input compared to something like a Melee wavedash and the distance each character slides backwards is mainly based on their traction but also their walking speed. Because of this, very few characters travel in any sort of notable distance and the only two characters with any real practical application (albeit very little) are Luigi and Sheik.
    Great video and looking forward to seeing more Brawl stuff

    • @Brawlternative
      @Brawlternative  Місяць тому +15

      Super cool insight! I actually dubbed this as "movement tech" while researching so that's why it's not in the video, but after looking a little more into it it probably could have checked the "character specific" box because of how few characters can benefit from it. Either way, thank you for reminding me of this! I love this type of comment.

    Few things I would like to add with regards to infinite double jumping with Bowser.
    For starters, it was pretty essential for playing as Bowser. It increases your overall jump height (a smidge), it allows Bowser to move around faster than he otherwise normally would (which still isn't very fast), it keeps him airborne and his aerials are some of his best moves (though sadly many characters have better aerials), and arguably Bowser's best move is his Side Special. It's hitbox is massive, it's active quicker than almost every other move he has and as a grab you can use in the air it offers fantastic utility. Basically, if you ever see a Brawl Bowser not using IDJ, they're doing something wrong. Or playing against Meta Knight.
    Additionally, it has a funny interaction with platforms you can fall through. The game seems to treat it like the platform is not there when you IDJ on top of one, so you can actually attack through it with aerials, despite being above it.

    • @Brawlternative
      @Brawlternative  Місяць тому +8

      That's actually so interesting, I had absolutely no idea it had properties beyond "funny jump." Super super insightful, thanks so much for the contribution! I probably would've bumped it up a tier or two if I knew it was actually useful. You got me here :)

      @Brawlternative In the grand scheme of things it probably didn't affect much, but being able to cancel most if not all of your landing lag is really nice. Forgot it also did that. It is through the lens of Bowser after all, so it's a bit like putting a hat on top of a pile of garbage. But it's a really nice hat! Lol

    Im so glad you mentioned Sonic on slopes, thats the only glitch I ever discovered as a kid. I had a custom stage that was supposed to be like an Evel Knievel jump and I loved seeing which characters could go further, the stage was just a short runway and then some of the slope parts over a huge gap, running sonic spindash off the edge sent him flying in a straight line and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Never seen anyone really talk about that specific glitch so it was super cool to see you mention it here. Never even knew it went crazy if it hit someone.

    Check out the Ice Climbers fusion glitch! It was a tech where if ICs used their side B on the same frame that they got hit by certain moves (typically moves with a stun property like Falco lasers or Pikachu Thunderbolts) it caused them to "fuse". Nana would be stuck on top of Popo which allowed for all kinds of wacky stuff. You could have Nana charge smash attacks in mid air, you could footstool the opponent while Nana is grabbing them to fly through the air high enough to kill with raw up throw, you could move with blizzard, etc. It also made for a weird state where the game would think that Nana fell off the bottom of the screen even though she was on top of Popo. If she got footstooled in that state, the other character would just appear on the bottom of the screen where it thinks Nana is. Fun stuff to mess around with.
    Also Diddy Kong could infinite almost every character in the game with just 1 banana, but the timing was quite difficult and the spacing to get started was pretty tight so it was rarely performed in tournaments.

Or, find a way to incorporate it into another video. I saw the footage, looks really visually interesting :)

    There's even one that showcases 30 mods for Falcon's Final Smash, only to have the victims somehow survive the attack and decimate Falcon with the most creative recoveries and team combos possible.

    The timing of making a Brawl centered channel could not be more perfect than now. So many kids who grew up on Brawl are going through the nostalgia age at this point (including myself) and are more than likely wishing that their favorite smash would come back in some sort of light.
    I personally am getting back into Project M through P+, and as someone who plays smash for the single player AND competitive side, I appreciate these videos more than I can express.
    I don't think I'll ever play the original Brawl ever again, but seeing the game how I played it back in 2008 and learning so much about it brings me more joy than I can express. Please continue this series and cover anything and everything that even vaguely relates to Brawl lol.

      I wanted to do Brawl content for years, but it just didn't feel right. With right now being the longest time between Smash games, I started noticing content creators & other people abstracting from Melee and Ultimate a bit and reminiscing about old Brawl and PM tournaments. That got me also feeling nostalgic, and suddenly making Brawl content felt right :)

    Some additional notes about "Flight of Ganon":
    -It can be done repeatedly without landing, albeit the timing is very strict compared to doing it once. I was able to do it 3 times in a row once.
    -Captain Falcon can do it too (the tough way only, that is), but unlike Ganon he gains little height out of it, which means it doesn't even look neat when he does it.

    3 things I want to mention. With Squirtle if you do a frame perfect pivot USmash by hitting a specific up-diagonal in the opposite direction you’ll get the full distance of the Usmash slide.
    Also with Squirtle if you flick the stick to get a one frame pivot during the run he’ll get stuck in the skid animation longer and if you turn around for a short time he’ll slide very far on the ground in his idle
    And with Lucas with the PK Fire jump if you get a specific diagonal up direction with it you can get a lot of height as well as a lot of horizontal distance at the same time. Probably good for recovery
    Edit: I can record these if needed

    One of my favorite "tech" that Brawl has is ZSS' infinite footstool combo on ROB.
    For some reason, when ZSS footstools a ROB while he is paralyzed, instead of launching herself off to the air like normal, she plops to the ground. This allows ZSS to turnaround down smash, and repeat infinitely.
    Even if the ZSS player is slow on the execution on the OTG down smash, footstools in Brawl forces a neutral getup like jab locks do, so the ZSS player can simply wait until the forced neutral getup to down smash and loop from there.
    The funny thing is that ZSS had a very similar infinite on Robin in the vanilla versions of SSB4, which is probably what most people are familiar with, before it got fixed in ver 1.0.4. With that version of the infinite, ZSS's down smash will not OTG the same way it does in Brawl, and footstools no longer force a neutral getup, so the ZSS player instead does a reverse uncharged neutral B to jab lock, then down smash on the forced neutral getup and then loop from there.
