Yugioh has a simmilar thing with deck sizes. Back in thr day their was no deck limit. The limit was if u can shuffle it. So some gigachafs made this homemade tower containing every single 4 copies of every card in the game. Making it like 5 6000 cards or something stupid. He won a couple of games because players refused to play against it. But when someone finally decided to play him they timed out because it took ages to shuffle the deck.

Incorrect. The longest game in Smash History is when I left my console on overnight to unlock Mewtwo.

It's really crazy how the stage meta has changed through time. 64 had to choose the best of the worst yet now we have Ultimate and choose to play on about 3 of over 100 potential stages, ruling out perfectly decent stages because of silly things like 'there's a slight slant',

It's a Christmas miracle, GRsmash uploaded!

I’m a 64 player and you did an excellent job covering this saga, also the editing is really next level

I'm one of the ex-leaders of the Smashboards 64 backroom, and I wrote the first tournament ruleset removing Hyrule Castle from neutral picks (I'm in the video as asianaussie) boom's opinions on Hyrule date back for a long, long time and were widely regarded as extreme by Smashboards posters - I distinctly remember him saying Link goes from bottom 3 tierwise to top 3 on Hyrule because of how overwhelmingly powerful his circle camping is - for perspective, this is like saying there's a legal stage that puts Melee Kirby or Bowser into top tier His arguments about Hyrule were a big part of the english-speaking community moving to DL-only - they certainly convinced me

Man, excellent polish on the editing. The way graphics don't just pop in but smoothly materialize and how each scene isn't a cut but instead a pan and tilt with accompanying swoosh sound - it all adds so much life. That zoom across key moments of the match at 11:58 was particularly slick and offered such a good impression of the length without needing to showing the whole thing. It's all so natural that it's easy to miss how much work would've gone into this. Really great work 👏

The fact that a TURTLE merchant references this is amazing. Genius.

Huge props for mentioning the inbox system. I really miss the early convos I had with followers. I can't fathom how KZread hasn't made a new pm system

Man good to see you upload. One of not that many channels that I've wished would continue making content on more than just one occasion. Hope that is indicative of you doing well in life rn Happy holidays man, cheers

I had no idea about this aspect of the Smash 64 scene, and your video was incredible. The depth of information combined with the amazing improvement in your editing skills truly made this standout. I'm genuinely impressed and can't wait to see more videos from you in this style. Keep up the fantastic work!

If you cant solve the problem, become the problem.

Shoutout to Elise Avery who also did a solid vid on this game. Smash 64 has a lot of overlooked content compared to Melee, 4, and Ult, so seeing more media on wild 64 sets would be a blessing.

Aside from the amazing video, I think the content you produced was extremely impactful for the time. It wouldn't really hold up in the youtube of today but genuinely so many smash players I talked to have recommended your videos to beginners and that's what sparked their interest in how someone is doing the cool shit they are seeing on screen. I think they also helped a lot with the overall cluing people into certain narratives of the time. I think going towards this kind of content is what's best overall in this landscape but I will always go back to old videos because they are so rewatchable.

NY Giants lost to Jacksonville Jaguars on a dumb play right at the end, and the commentator said, "You played 59 minutes and 53 seconds to lose like this?" A Giants player on defense successfully took the ball from Jacksonville, and instead of just falling down to end the game, he decided to try to run and score more points. HIS OWN TEAMMATE tried to stop him, and ended up tackling him, knocking the ball out of his hands. A Jacksonville player picked it up and immediately scored, winning the game.

Hyrule castle is a fun stage casually though but this was a really cool video love random video game history things like this

GRSmash is back!

i love ur editing style. props to u or ur editor.

I know in the video he says that 64 is all about punish game, but i would argue around that wording I think. I would say that since the punish game in 64 is so much stronger, that makes 64 all about the neutral game and not getting hit first.

Very good video. The only thing I'd note is that the uploader of the video who went to Peru also Herbert Von Karajan or Karajan for short (also known as Dajjal/Isai is Dead) was a pretty prolific 64 uploader. He's also known for making the first keyboard to PC adapter as there was a lot of 64 players who played on keyboard due to emulator play (such as me who switched over to Hori ages ago.)

Hoping to see more gr smash vids!!

Somehow I never knew about this game, nor did I know it was so famous that Toby Fox referenced it.
