it was pretty cool but i've always had a hard time playing competitive couch games because everyone i have ever known has been really bad at them. cooperative stuff works out a lot better. i remember playing kirby super star co-op a lot as a kid and that was a blast. probably rented that game enough times to buy it 3 times over.

Superstar remains one of my favorite games to this day.

Maybe you should come back to this thread when you've clocked over 1k hours on the Smash series.

We knew we were true fags when the game told us we had played 5,999 versus matches, which is about a penny per match. The game actually has an achievement for telling you that you're wasting your life.

Funny story about that, the devs wanted him in, but only if he could have farting attacks.

Sadly, they couldn't.

I thought that was New Super Mario Bros Wii. Or was the gamecube actually unable to render satisfactory fartclouds?

and i like melee more, since brawl completely ruined captain falcon.

Sakurai angle
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

SSB64 Icon.png SSBM Icon.png SSBB Icon.png This article's title is unofficial.

A graph of how the knockback of a Sakurai angle-attack affects its launch angle. Click for full-size version.

The Sakurai angle (sometimes displayed as * or AngleIcon361.png in moveset lists) is a special knockback angle that many attacks use. While it reads in the game data as an angle of 361 degrees, the actual resulting angle is dependent on whether the victim is on the ground or in the air, as well as the strength of the knockback.

The exact characteristics of the Sakurai angle have changed slightly in every game, but all share the same basic idea: at low knockback the opponent is not lifted off the ground, while at high knockback they are launched diagonally; the purpose seems to be to allow grounded battles between fresh opponents without allowing attacks to be deadly semi-spikes at KO percentages. The amount of knockback dealt determines the launch angle of grounded opponents; aerial opponents use the same angle regardless of knockback, which is typically very slightly higher than any grounded version. Starting in Melee, if the knockback is between the low-knockback value and high-knockback value, the resulting angle will be linearly scaled between its two extremes.

Game Low-knockback angle High-knockback angle Aerial angle Low-knockback value High-knockback value
SSB64 0 42.5 43 < 32 ≥32
Melee 0 44 45 32 32.1
Brawl 0 37 45 60 88

The Sakurai angle does not correctly tilt the impending angle indicator; it will remain at a flat angle.

While a low-knockback grounded hit of a Sakurai angle-attack is technically a semi-spike, it can never be used as one due to edge slipping.

Name origin[edit]

Early in Brawl's lifetime, it was noticed that many attacks with the "generic horizontal launch angle" have a low chance of tripping. Once decoding of moveset data progressed enough, it was then discovered that most of said attacks have a technical trip chance of 0% and an angle of 361. As Masahiro Sakurai is somewhat infamous for being commonly thought to have made tripping existent in Brawl, the angle was named after him. This is technically a misnomer, however: while it is true that the angle has an extra 11% chance of tripping, this applies to all attacks with horizontal angles and not just the Sakurai angle.

The characteristics of the Sakurai angle are mentioned by the official Super Smash Bros. website; it mentions that when an attack's angle is 361, low knockback hits the opponent sideways while high knockback hits them diagonally. The angle is not given any special name.

Dreamworks is a disney district I am pretty sure but don't quote me on it. The movie slash animated series is lilo and stitch and all I remember about it in the 3 minutes I seen was that aliens pooped out of space capsules or something

I played for an hour for the first time in many years at my weed dealer's apartment like, 2 weeks ago. My thoughts: Firstly, the game still holds up. Secondly, Ness and Zelda are still my favorite characters to play as. I have yet to meet anyone familiar with the game who likes either of them which I think is weird because they are awesome. Thirdly, people who insist on turning all items off or else are HUGE WEEPING PUSSIES.

jigglypuff was the best smash bros character until brawl brought in olimar. for all of brawl's faults, olimar loving owned and was fun as poo poo to play as, even though i never got anywhere near as good with him as i did with jigglypuff in melee.

missing rest with jigglypuff was and still is the worst thing ever.
