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.

Intro / Knockout City - Beat Feet n Bounce

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 :)

Thanks again for the support! New content will be here before you know it.

EDIT: Finally updated the description with the music I used. I went to do it at least 4 different times and forgot to actually update it all 4 times. It's there now!
How about anything involving Luigi in any way at all. Like a 10x10 imagine in the corner of the video is fine. *wait that’s kinda a good idea*
Your channel will be huge soon with this amazing production quality. I subbed on your first vid and then was shocked it was your first
Thoroughly enjoyed the vid
hey it would be cool if maybe at the end of your next video you put a clickable link for upcoming offline tourneys like escape pod in texas in case anyone wants to go to that or maybe the netplay guide, which is a google doc
I love watching those old brawl glitches videos from 2009. They were so cool
Probably the most exciting smash channel right now tbh
Real, brawl gang is eating right now
Easily
Agree
I feel like it shouldn't be, but it absolutely is.

I genuinely think ganon’s “stored jump” is canon since there was a cutscene in subspace where he did a massive jump towards taboo that he only could’ve done with that tech.
Ganon: you may be top tier but can you do this?

I think rewatching that Pit video is what planted the idea seed for this video in my head. Dude was way too good at hitting those
It's an awesome thing I wish stuck around to current games, not like they're extremely powerful with it, but provide some neat kills
as a pit main in all games, you dont even understand the utter joy i felt hearing someone give credit to arrow loops and wing dashing, AND using Yass’ videos to demonstrate
I really want them to bring back the arrow loops. It's insanely cool.
I felt violently ill when you refereed to Smash 4 as Sm-four-sh. Subscribed!
I mean, Sm4sh is pretty normal, except when you pronounce it out loud and sound like a cartoon grandpa saying “s’mores”
@@lancesmith8298Which is precisely why I'm okay with saying "Smash 4 (for) Wii U/3DS".

I now know the name of the tech Big Yellow showed off in their video on Brawl Ivysaur
Big Yellow enjoyer here I love Brawl
BIG YELLOW MENTIONED? LETSGO
Big Yellow rules, his video on tripping was a big inspiration. The fact that getup attack(trip) does less damage and has less i-frames than getup attack(missed tech) is burned into my memory
We *love* Big Yellow!

You have fully convinced me I was wrong and Brawl's jank is worthy of the cult following it has. Thanks for showing me it's more than just subspace emissary
The music and sound design are great too
after seeing how desperate certain ult/melee channels are to squeeze every drop of content out of that game's code that they can (a respectable hustle), it's rly cool to have a channel deep diving into the oddball game that's mostly ignored by the nerds who make essays like these
Now all we need is the Smash 4 centred channel

Ok but arrow looping is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen in a smash game
As a Hades and Hades II player and a person floored by the power insanity insanity of Ultimate DLC roster, idk why Snake's mine and Pit's arrow looping shouldn't make a come back. Pit's arrow looping is essentially the Support fire boon in Hades one and two. Pit would flipping male artemis. Artemister Pit.
I had a friend who was really good at it and would bust it out in both friendly and tournament matches. He didn't even main pit, he just pulled him out of his pocket whenever he wanted to annoy people.
pit raining down arrows is unironically one of the coolest things ever on paper
in practice its even cooler!

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who wanted to see a deeper dive into competitive Brawl. :P
Thanks for being here :)
@@Brawlternative Always gotta support the Brawl reps!
@@Brawlternative dude thanks for releasing these, adore everything you've done so far and i've been frantically sharing it with my friends and my brother
if you like competitive there is always the netplay scene and upcoming offline events like escape pod in texas next month and this saturday's tourney in PA!
It's so weird seeing how much of this I found or did as a kid, with no access to the internet or a competitive scene.
Yes!! As a kid, this game was SO much fun to "lab" even if you didn't really know what you were doing lol
Pit arrow looping was just something I did casually when playing with my friends! No one else in my group was ever able to get any value out of it, but it was basically a running joke that you were never safe.
@@FlatlandsSurvivorThink what Pit does with the 6 Sacred treasures in his Smash 4 Final Smash could be a reference to it?
@@FlatlandsSurvivorYOU ARE NEVER SAFE
Oh my God, "the flying child technique" "flight of ganon" these are some top tier names, NGL.
Smashboards users had nothing better to do, and we thank them for that.
lucas go zooooooooooooooom
The Wario bike glitch is the funniest thing I've seen all day, and I've seen some funny stuff today.
I remember all the worthless tech discoveries that'd spam Brawl General Discussion back in the Smashboards days, and even contributed it to myself with one called Hilldash, a movement tech someone miraculously thought was interesting enough to make a ssbwiki page for it years later. This game really is filled to the brim with just the least useful stupid tech of all time.
I have never seen that Sonic glitch towards the end, that's wild.
The first time I tried it for myself it got a genuine laugh out of me. Like why doesn't he stop? LOLL
@@Brawlternative I saw people doing that quite a lot on the steps of Hyrule Temple.
i want someone to add a little "wee!" sound effect to that clip
As a kid I learned about this in the custom stage builder. Ended up making a stage that was just a bunch of stairs on each side with a giant gap in the middle to dash across with this glitch.
Nah, let them add the Sonic Unleashed "Woo!"@@insaknighty
I have never heard anyone say "shmuh-four-sh" for sm4sh that's so funny
I was looking for this comment, pronunciation had me tweaking
I have. It was when I said it
9:55 I still vividly remember when CPU Wario did that at 0 during a team match with my brother, immediatly after spawning back! It was so unexpected, we were dying laughing. One of our favourites moment from Brawl, we still talk it about from time to time many years later!
It can even happen from standing on the ground whenever a stage has low gravity, like the Pirate Ship falling or Pokémon Stadium 2's Flying transformation!
Ballsy move making a brawl channel in 2024 but mad respect for you
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
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.
I loved learning this in smash 4
the absolute whiplash i got watching this then learning that this is not only Not from some 500k sub channel but also only the second video on this channel??? production quality's through the roof mate keep it up
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.
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
10:37 YO THAT'S MY BOY JUMBO JOSH
the funny thing is he's just always there, I didn't even realize he was in the shot LOLL
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.
When I saw the glitch for the first time, it cracked me up. It looks so goofy lol. Thanks for the kind words!! And for sharing a moment of nostalgia with us :)
NEW BRAWL CONTENT🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those Wario bike loops are simultaneously the sickest and stupidest thing I've ever seen lmao. Great video, I had no clue Brawl had this level of mechanical depth and wacky tech :)
BrawlIterative posted guys pause the marriage i need to watch this
4:40 I will say, the person who compiled those clips of 9B is actually crazy at editing and composing TAS matches. I highly recommend watching his videos in general, especially the ones with a high view count.
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.
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.
I actually sent him a DM the other day requesting him to check the fusion glitch!! I hope he takes note because it's way interesting.
JJROCKETS!!! what's up dude!! been a minute :) I had never seen this glitch before, but I've gotten a lot of people talking about it (you, GIMR, as @Smoomy said he and some others have DM'd it to me) so I think I'll probably make a video on this? Or, find a way to incorporate it into another video. I saw the footage, looks really visually interesting :)
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.
8:45 Flying Child is the most majestic name ever, this is why Brawl is the best Smash game
I didn't know how much I needed Brawl AsumSaus until today
I love brawl and I'm so glad I discovered this channel
“Babe, wake up! Another Brawlternative video just dropped!”
It’s funny. Like three weeks ago, I commented on a Coney video saying I wish there was a lot more Brawl-specific content on CZcams. And then this legend comes outta nowhere and teaches me about the marth ness matchup 😂 Please keep it up!!! I need all the brawl content I can get!!!
dude thank you so much for making these videos. I've been bored out of my mind hearing about all the ultimate and melee stuff people are talking about so it's nice to finally have someone talk about stuff from brawl
Ive been wanting a brawl channel like this for years
no
@@DemoniteBL spread love 😭💔💯
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 :)
now i kinda want to get this game just for whatever chaos is in it
@@aykarain There are some wretched things in Brawl, man. Best thing about having Brawl is being able to play Project M
11:52 Oh my god I remember doing this on custom stages as a kid, this unlocked a part of my brain I haven't accessed in forever
Thumbnail of Ganondorf goes unbelievably hard
all im saying is you can't have a tech called "the flight of Ganon" in the game and expect me not to milk it for clicks lmfao
Youre going to single handedly change the perception of this game. I’m pulling for you and this channel, your editing is top notch. You have the makings of the next asumsaus
Oh it's ALREADY time for the second upload
This kind of content is really fun; I really love that Brawl content is making a resurgence, it’s the game where the Smash series really found its identity and for that reason alone it shouldn’t be overlooked.
Coming from Melee, Brawl added a ton of tech that we take for granted now (RARs, B reversing etc) and quality of life changes like custom controls on each name tag.
Each smash game adds something game changing,bwhich I think is cool
Like for ultimate, tilts and all smash attacks out of running is huge and I hope stays for future smash games (even if i dont like ults dash mechanics)
Oh my god thank you for linking 9B’s combo video, that was incredible. Also after watching Maestro Arrow, I think Brawl Pit is my favorite smash character
So glad to see this channel getting the appreciation it deserves! Already on your way to 100k!
Truly a pleasure to bandwagon up on such a well-crafted channel by the second vid.
LOVE YOUR EDITING STYLE ❤️❤️❤️
you are the hope and soul of the smash bros youtube scene. please keep up your content and quality!!
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
For the hydroplane usmash - you can also map a shoulder button to jump and use the c-stick to use usmash. Shoulder jump makes the tech, and many others, much easier to perform.
@@cfino9 That’s pretty good too. I used Tap Jump in Brawl so it was just a double stick input for me
Dacus, Lucas stored jump, and Sonic's angle teleport were my favorites, while a friend of mine who was a massive Kirby fan was ecstatic to learn that Meta Knight could just disappear and Neutral-B through nearly anything.
Another one I loved was the Jigglypuff Final Bridge glitch, where using your Final Smash while the Eldin Bridge is reforming will make you remain at the enlarged size.
I am deeply interested in the future of this channel as Smash Brawl was the first smash I ever got to play, keep up the work and dedication and soon enough, hopefully soon enough, you’ll be recognized within the smash community for many years to come.
the "that was true :)" annotation was way funnier than it needed to be
I love seeing more Super Smash Bros Brawl content. I'm glad this channel is posting regular high-quality videos so quickly.
got recommended this 50 seconds after upload. I was meant to be here.
This is awesome, hope your channel blows up!
I visited the smash dojo every day for news before release. I preordered two copies of brawl. I did not own a written, but my best friend did, and my nephew did. I've played this game for hundreds of hours. It's so cool exploring these interesting competitive quirks. Can't wait to see more
You kinda brought it up at the end, but I do really like how there's now a high quality, well edited video of all this stuff. Hopefully this channel gets popular enough that it won't be super hard to find in the future, because this is cool shit!
Thank you for the kind words!! Early stages of the Bralt project, I decided that regardless of viewership I wanted to contribute some kind of well-produced video series for the sake of modern Brawl preservation/archival. I got really lucky that the algorithm liked my content, makes me happy that I can share wacky Brawl stuff with others :)
@@Brawlternative Yeah, easy-to-access and easy-to-understand archival stuff is an unfortunate rarity these days on the internet. Thank god this won't be relegated to a Discord channel or a Twitter thread.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels
I remember playing with my brother when we discovered the bridge of Eden + Jigglypiff glitch. Literally the most beautiful jank I’ve ever seen. Yes ultimate is way more polished and melee is a lot more competitive but brawl was my first smash game and will forever be my favorite. Love to see someone giving it the attention it deserves
I would like to state that spindash jumping is a very common tactic in mainline sonic games, so it 110% makes sense that it would be present in smash bros with sonic's addition
Not sure why you started a brawl channel in 2024 but im so glad you did! This game has the sickest tech in the series and more people need to know how awesome this game was
DyllonStej Gaming deserves to be recognized for finding out all the dumb things you can do in Subspace Emissary as well
Recently went over his channel(he's here in the comments!) and saw just how much he's done. Big fan of him :)
while I was never part of the smash scene for torunaments, I love the fact we finally have a brawl creator showing stuff about the game. Brawl is such a cool game. and was the best game to play casually. (the laughs had with random item spawns will never leave me)
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.
ANOTHER video??? brawl is back good lord
I was waiting until someone finally created a channel dedicated to Brawl. I love you
I’m loving this channel right now
Damn the Pit techs are actually very sick
Lucas' stored jump mechanic was actually called a "Zap Jump". Was hilarious when you paired it with magnet pull.
All we need is a vid on bowser and how he is totally awesome guys he is not bottom tier you just dont play him right
tru he does look funny when he hops around
Great video from a design standpoint. No bullshit, gets to the point, and keeps everything moving. Fantastic.
While I'm editing I try to cut as much filler as I can. Thanks for noticing, and for the kind words!
that claymation logo at the end omg,,,, beautiful stunning love it big fan I'm going to be so excited if I get to see that each video LMAO
anyways it's already so very clear that your work on this channel is something special, glad to be catching it early on the ride because I am so locked tf in
have a nice day!!
Thanks!! You're actually the first person to mention the claymation. I bought a $15 bin of clay to make that, I always loved mixed media type animations and knew I wanted something unique for the SKUNCH outro. Oddly enough it only took about an hour to make, but I absolutely LOVE the way it came out & the colors I chose. Thanks for the kind words :)
oh boi, some good stuff... just getting the toes wet in ocean of brawl tech, these were some nice picks. Did not know the DK fair one at the end, super cool stuff. Keep it up brother.
Definitely want to showcase some of the more super deepcut stuff in the future! I wanted to keep this one a little more surface level, ya know stuff that could have somewhat feasibly be done in a tournament match. Threw in a couple curveballs but I personally think I covered pretty good ground :) thanks for the kind words!!
@@Brawlternative for sure. There are some vids private on my channel rn I could share should you need janky / useful tech. I've actually been slowly writing an info dump on olimar this year, about 30 pages in and no where close to being done :( but I'm like a caveman rubbing sticks together when it comes to making videos lol.
10:40
Gonna be honest, I kinda forgot I made that. Glad it wasn't entirely forgotten :D
dude we were CRACKING UP at this video in the vc. So funny how 95% of the TAS was buildup and then the final reveal was the classic "broken wii" sound LOLL thank you for your contribution, hope you didn't mind me using it
Perfect inclusion, perfect explanation. Glad I could be a part of it!
I have been WAITING for a channel like this
I respect you a lot for dedicating yourself to Brawl. As someone whose favorite game is Smash 4, despite having played all five smash games, it's easy (and frustrating) to be disregarded by people who tout Melee and Ultimate as the only smash games that deserve recognition in the modern era. Really, every game deserves an equal amount of attention, and an equal amount of love. I wish you the best of luck on this channel's success!
Thank you so much for the kind words :) Smash 4 absolutely holds a dear place in my heart. I think it's misunderstood in a similar way to Brawl & I think people will make nostalgic, retrospective content for it in the future :)
LOVE YOUR CONTENT BRO KEEEP GOING!!!!!!
This guy is single-handedly reshaping my perception of brawl as a competitive game
Thanks a ton for this video. The contents of videos like these is why I play this series, hell, why I play & love platform fighters. There’s something whimsical about Movement Tech like this
the name of the techs are the best thing lol
Dude for REAL though. "Flight of Ganon" "Chopper Hopping" "Flying Child" so much SAUCE
The flying child one killed me
YES PLEASE MORE BRAWLTERNATIVE
my main in Brawl is Lucas and he got done dirty last time so i hope you give him some more positive coverage soon lmao
I wanted to go deeper into his tech for this video, but it's more of a deep dive tech showcase than a deep dive on the individual tech(besides Dragonic Reverse because that one's stupid) might go further into Lucas' bizarre movement in another video
@@Brawlternative Don't forget about his zair doublejump cancel, was kinda surprised to not see it here under the situational tech segment.
@@KanjiGames oops, your comment reminded me that it was actually supposed to be in this video and I just forgot to include it into the script/footage list. that's on me 🙃

High quality, well researched, makes me wanna pick up the game again at home and finish subspace again
super excited to see where this channel goes, brawl has been my favorite smash for years and i’m very excited to see someone dedicated to it
I love you brawlternative
love u
Could you list the BG music? It’s so good!
Oh, was going to start doing this in the description but totally forgot!
-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 CZcams)
-11:29 / Valorant(Episode 4 Act 3) - Main Menu Music (this might be the most deep-cut song I've had in a video, literally no one has recognized it yet lol)
-Outro / Super Smash Bros. Brawl - All-Star Rest Area
I try to use obscure, underappreciated OST's to give my videos less of a "generic" feel. Plus, sometimes I hear a song that doesn't QUITE fit in with the video(like the Castlevania Dracula X song) but the intro riff & Pit combo compilation footage with the boosted music is just TOO good. Hope this is helpful! Gunna try to have similar underrated game OSTs in the future :)
Dude this channel is awesome. Amazing editing and as someone who has slept on the complexities of brawl. I’m excited to see me and this has been super entertaining so far. Keep it up!
Wingdashing looks like the coolest thing ever, glad I’m aware of its existence now
Knockout City Music mentioned🗣️‼️‼️
like come ON man that OST is so good, i was looking for a good intro song for ages and when i heard that track i IMMEDIATELY threw it in
@@Brawlternative Too bad the game didn’t stay in a free to play direction, had a blast playing it. Just wasn’t accessible to all the bros.
@@consume.yourcalcium for real, i didnt even know it went under until recently. rip dodgeball game
This channel is fucking awesome
There was a glitch with kirby's down-b where if used on sloped platformed he would slide down and get stuck on at the bottom of the platform. The game would try and slide him all the way off but for some reason he would just clip back onto the the platform. The proceed would repeat and each time the screen would stake like he had landed from a high height but like once every 2 frames. From want I remember the sloped platform I used was one of the stage builder ones but I don't remember exactly which.
It also deletes Porky's health ✅
Bro, I have played smash titles off and on since I was young, never finding appeal in getting good, and quietly admiring footage of great plays. But this channel is what I have wanted all my life: simple, clean information showing the gaming engine behind the magic, assuming I know just enough to understand very complex subjects that are explained thoroughly.
Please make content you love to share. Your passion shows so well, and it's coupled with great editing and teaching talent.
Brawl ganondorf is still cool
I've been told that my bias for Brawl Ganon shows a little more with every video LOLL
@@Brawlternative have u watched all the ganon gauntlet vids from the old apexes? ive been meaning to do a vid about one particular match but got too busy with other projects
@@pidgezero_one brother I was there in-person for them 🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥
BRAWL!!!
YEAH THE WII CRASH SOUND!!!
The editing, music, pacing, excellent explationations, and your chill voice were all fantastic. I fell out of Smash a long time ago but if this is your style I'll gladly deep dive your channel
I don't know why but I love hearing about smash history an absurd ammount
I both love and hate how you pronounce "Sm4sh" as "smfoursh".
I've gotten so many more comments on this than i thought i would LOLL
please never say smuhfoursh ever again
Please say smuhfoursh again, specifically to spite this person
I've been callin it that since it came out, I think it's weird when people DON'T call it that
I can't wait to say "Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U" every time from now on
smuhfoursh is the best name
