Hey and welcome to the first ever episode of Under the Superscope. Where we take an
in depth look at some of the most famous games of all time and work out exactly what makes
them so good and whether they still hold up today. It doesn't matter if they're 5
or 35, all that matters is that they're fun.
So let's rewind from 2018 with a new Smash on the horizon and go back passed Smash for
Wii U and 3DS, Passed Brawl, Passed Melee. Let's go all the way back to where it first
began. Back to that one simple idea: Who would win in a fight; Link or Mario?
It's easy to forget that premise when Smash has been around for as long as it has but
that's exactly what the core of Smash is. Taking Nintendo's most prominent all stars
and finding out who the most powerful is. Capcom had similar mash up ideas with the
likes of 1996's X-Men VS Street Fighter and Sega's 1996 Fighters Megamix but none
were quite as ambitious as this. Where Fighters Megamix largely takes its characters from
Virtua Fighter and Fighting Vipers, the characters in Smash don't originate from that genre
and so an entirely new playstyle was devised. The platform fighter.
Platformers are arguably the most accessible genre out there. You run, you jump. It's
what we've been doing in the real world since we've been able to stand on two legs.
Many of our very first games likely involved this method whether it was Super Mario Brothers
or Sonic or I dunno, Ristar. Hopefully someone's first game was Ristar. So to take that daunting
premise of a fighting game and to make it around running and jumping suddenly alleviates
the barrier to entry. Picking up Smash makes sense. Mario, Kirby and Donkey Kong all move
around like you'd expect from a 2D perspective and even the more experimental characters
adapt so well in this playstyle. There aren't health bars or complex moves,
it was an entirely new take on a fighting game.
So instead of pummelling your opponent until they lose consciousness, they almost get lighter
with each punch in a sense. So the more you hit them, the further they'll fly and eventually
they'll go walloping out of the stratosphere. Sakurai has often referred to Smash as a party
game as opposed to the competitive focus the genre was known for and while there is a competitive
Smash scene, I think that party focus is the backbone of the entire series. There aren't
complex button inputs to learn, or at least there aren't meant to be, Smash takes this
intimidating genre and makes it something anyone can pick up.
Basically there are two attack buttons, melees and specials. Pressing a different direction
while using either of these performs a different move. Not only does this grant a nice variety
of moves but it also ensures that once you've learned one character you've essentially
learn them all. If you're coming from later instalments
though you may be a little surprised to learn that there is no Side special in Smash 64.
Up Special is still a recovery and Down Special still executes another attack but Neutral
Special and Side Soecial perform the exact same move. Weird right? You also can't charge
Smash attacks or execute an air dodge, so watch your landings! While these are series
standards at this point, it was Melee that first introduced them. It never really made
a whole lot sense as to why side special performs the exact same move as natural special when
literally every other direction executes a different move. That's one area that was
always flawed in the original Smash. We've also gone from over a dozen characters in
Smash Wii U having counters to nothing but Fox's reflector in Smash 64. While the core
game is largely the same there's certainly are a lot of elements that just hadn't been
introduced yet. Though competitive players may not like to
learn that the item toggle is something you have to unlock…by playing 100 verses matches.
Yeah, that's a lot. These restricted moves are the one key area
where Smash 64 starts to show its age and it's something so many players finding jarring
to go back to. Of course every Smash has a unique feel. Melee
is the fastest and most technical, Smash Wii U is slightly more floaty but with a great
party/competitive balance and Brawl has tripping. The original is perhaps closest to Melee than
any other. It doesn't have as many exploitable glitches but the pacing feels slightly more
geared to experienced players, there are tons of crazy combos you can pull off and while
the competitive scene isn't massive it does exist and it's bigger than Brawl's.
Impressively, while most N64 games struggled to run at 20fps, Smash 64 holds a pretty stable
60 - up there with only a few others on the platform like F-Zero X. of course this comes
with the drawback of the background elements all being 2D though I think there's some
charm to be found with them. Sure they're pretty blurry but just look at the detail
here in the Hyrule Castle stage, you can see the entire world of Ocarina of Time from this
view: There's Kakariko village, there's death mountain, there's Zora's River and
there's Lake Hylia – in the wrong place. OK so it's not 100% but it's still a really
cool recreation. Here with Peach's castle you can see the entire grounds of Mario 64.
It may not be the best quality in the world but it pushes a level of detail that the N64
just wouldn't be able to output natively at this performance.
Smash is a celebration of Nintendo as much as it is a fighting game and almost every
element of the series is a reference to a franchise's source material. For instance
Mario's moveset is ripped mostly from Super Mario 64 with the three punches, little break
dancing kick and he throws the same way he throws Bowser. Link has the same spin attack
as Ocarina of Time, same bomb design, same hookshot and the down thrust from Zelda 2.
Though adult Link couldn't use the boomerang, the Ocarina of Time representation is a little
sketchy here! In many ways Smash would actually have the
opposite effect on some of these licenses where they themselves became inspired from
their Smash appearance. Captain Falcon for instance never left his vehicle in either
F-Zero or F-Zero X yet they somehow gave him an entire moveset in Smash. This would then
lead to the Falcon Punch becoming an actual element of the F-Zero franchise during 2003's
F-Zero GP Legend anime. Perhaps the most surprising thing coming from
recent instalments is the roster. We're used to dozens and dozens of franchises both
first and third party being represented but in Smash 64 there are only 12 characters in
total from 10 different franchises. You'll start off with Mario, Donkey Kong Link, Samus,
Yoshi, Kirby, Fox and Pikachu with Luigi, Captain Falcon, Ness and Jigglypuff being
hidden behind Classic mode challenges. Starting with just these guys may seem like
a pretty safe roster but think back to how weird the idea of Mario punching Pikachu is.
And then the unlockable characters introduce what Andre elegantly referred to as the WTF
characters. Maybe not Luigi and maybe not Jigglypuff as he was once groomed to be the
face of the franchise but both Ness and Captain Falcon were by no means Nintendo icons. The
Blue Falcon was probably more iconic than Captain Falcon and when someone said Ness
the common response would be "No, it's pronounced N E S"
Smash Bros may be the spark that caused Earthbound to have such a large cult following and the
fact he's been there ever since the original game is something pretty special. Especially
seeming as Mother 2 was the last game to ever be localised worldwide – in the America's
at least. Europe never got it until Wii U! Though not special enough to get a stage apparently!
While the controls are the same for every character, that doesn't stop them all from
feeling unique. Even Luigi who's the closest thing to a clone character has his floaty
jump from Super Mario Brothers 2. I'm a bit of a Link fanboy myself though his recovery
is a bit eh in Smash 64 and a lot of his moves have a slow windup. Yoshi's recovery doesn't
even really give him any extra height like in later games. Fox's blaster even has a
stagger effect which was given to Falco instead in later games. Characters like Fox, Captain
Falcon and Pikachu are perhaps the best overall but I find the roster is way more balanced
than Melee. More importantly everyone's a ton of fun to play as, though the AI does
have a little trouble with Ness's recovery on Silph Co.
Playing later Smash games though you can defiantly tell who originated in Smash 64. Mario's
moveset makes sense here but fast forward to Smash for Wii U and when was the last time
Mario threw a punch? Where do most of DK's moves come from? I mean DK would go on to
use his wind up punch to punch a freaking moon but again that was something that came
from Smash rather than Smash taking it from the source material. There were certain leniencies
the team took with the original game that you wouldn't really see in modern Smash
games and who knows, maybe they'll even refresh the original roster in the Switch
game. One thing I admire about this entry more than
any other is the context behind all the fighting. If you read into the intro of the game and
the outros of classic mode, all these characters are just toys being played with by a hand.
Probably the hand of a child. This even adds context to Master Hand, it's just a kid
playing with his Nintendo toys and I think that goes so well with the premise of Smash.
In my opinion making them into trophies was a downgrade from this idea and Master Hand
feels like he's stuck around out of tradition rather than really being a metaphor for anything.
Speaking a bit of classic mode though, it's really the only thing you can do in Smash
64 other than Verses fighting. Sure you can train and practise break the targets but there's
really no other side mode and unlike later games, Classic is completely fixed to the
same structure every time. You'll always start off fighting Link on Hyrule Castle,
you'll always battle against a swarm of Kirby's and you'll always throw around
an unresponsive Metal Mario. You'll recognise Target Smash from later
games but board the platforms is something similar that's yet to return. Every character
has a set of obstacles and you simply need to land on each distinct platform as you make
your way through them. Perhaps the premise is too similar to Target Smash as you really
could just replace these platforms with targets but I like how it emphasises the platforming
portion of this platform fighter. Many of these designs are pretty good too even if
the visual variety gets stale fast. Interestingly there are stages in here that
aren't actually playable in the Verses mode. Notably Master Hands stage which is essentially
Final Destination and the Fighting Polygon stage which is essentially Battlefield. Even
Metal Mario has a unique stage. a bit of a waste to not be able to fight on three perfectly
good stages. The Nintendo 64 was something of a multiplayer
haven and right there with the Facility, Block Fort and a circle of eevees trying to get
fruit were the likes of Sector Z, Dreamland and my favourite, the Mushroom Kingdom.
The series may have grown a new pair of legs with Melee but the original has such a unique
feeling that makes it worth playing even in 2018. If you just want to see where it all
began or try your hand at an entirely different Smash, it's never too late to pick up the
three handed controller. Just make sure the people you're playing with know how to hold
it. Not only do I think Smash 64 still holds up
but I think it's one of the most enjoyable games on the platform. So go grab some friends
and four controllers and Smash like it's 1999!
Training mode even replaces all stage backgrounds with a giant Smash logo. Hmm, this looks vaguely
familiar? Eh, probably nothing…or is it? Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe

You Have To See The Incredible Easter Decorations At This Texas Mansion | Southern Living - Duration: 3:53.
(bright acoustic music)
The reason I go all out is 'cause I love it.
I love the joy that it brings to my family.
Their eyes get big and a big smile comes on their face.
And I just love to see other people happy.
And so it makes me happy.
I decided to create a bunny garden look for Easter.
This was inspired by the fact that I grew up on a farm.
And so, I got a mural.
And then, I just found a brown, simple rug.
Then, I took my bunny collection
and created my little bunny workers.
I love everything about decorating.
I never do the same thing twice.
As I'm doing my decorations, I usually,
honestly, have my kids in mind,
but I just love that I can share
what I love to do with my family and with my friends.
I have five kids, and so
I have to be realistic about
you know, what we do, but I kept it
fairly inexpensive because I do want my kids
to feel like they can eat in the dining room.
I decided I wanted it to be more of a cohesive look in here.
So, I found bunnies that all looked alike.
My favorite decoration is this
little bunny with the balloon.
I just, I don't know why, but every time I
look at this bunny, I can't help but smile.
It just makes me so, so happy,
and I know I've got hundreds and hundreds
of bunnies in the house, but for
some reason, this one speaks to me.
This is the family room.
And this is just a very happy, fun room.
I think it is so much fun to tell a story with your decor.
Items that I collect over the years
are always a lot more meaningful.
Buy things you love, that actually speak to you,
because you're more likely to use 'em
and keep 'em over the years.
When I'm getting ready to buy something,
I say, "Okay, do I love this?"
I would love to have this as a collection.
I have repeated the carrot theme just in case
my kids didn't get the idea that they're
supposed to be eating more vegetables.
The thing that inspired the whole look was this glass.
I saw that and thought, "Oh my gosh,
"that is the cutest thing I've ever seen."
I love these little leafs.
I have used these all over,
in so many of my different decor.
Love the bunny plates, I have them in all different colors.
Of course, the cabbages.
There's a lot.
I mean, I think I've probably got
at least 3,000 eggs.
But if you want to count it all,
well, we probably shouldn't count it all,
'cause it'd probably be embarrassing,
but (laughs) there's a lot.
And obviously, the focal point of the kitchen
is this DIY vase that I made,
which I'm actually kind of proud of.
It's two vases, so it's a larger vase
and then a smaller vase inside.
And so, obviously, your water and the flowers
go into the smaller vase, but there's about
an inch difference between the smaller
and the larger, and that's where we're
able to pop in all of our candy.
You don't have to spend a ton of money to decorate.
You can buy little plastic eggs,
and do the cutest things with plastic eggs,
with jelly beans, things that are inexpensive.
Everything that I love for Easter
that I didn't find a place for somewhere else,
and so, it becomes the eyeliner.
I affectionately call this area the eyeliner.
Different plates, and it just kind of
becomes a little bit of a free for all.
But because I keep it all just as an eyeliner,
I think it all flows and works together.
I truly believe in
making our homes a place
where there's joy, and where people want to be.
Think about the people that you love most,
and make it an environment for them,
that they want to be at home.

Alex Jones Son Goes Off The Rail And Just Challgened David Hogg In Bombastic Video!
Shock talk show host Alex Jones' son, Rex Jones, has now come out to challenge the Parkland
shooting survivor David Hogg on his far left wing narrative against guns, and the second
amendment.
After having to listen to Hogg and his friends spew left-wing propaganda against guns Jones,
who is only 15-years-old has said he has had enough.
So he challenged David Hogg to a debate about guns, and the way their generation looks at
guns and feels about the second amendment.
This challenge came about when Hogg, in his "can't be touched" status given to him
by the mainstream media actually tweeted about Alex Jones and even referred to him as a "Shit"
journalist.
This hasn't been the only attack Hogg has made.
and then come out in the real world and try to make a difference.
But for now just sit down, your 10 minutes of fame are up and no one wants to hear your
whiny voice any longer as you attack those who don't agree with you, while your friend
in the media try to convince people you have impunity.
What do you think about this?

A Conversion Story From American Sister "It All Just Made Sense" - Duration: 3:27.
I'm honestly not really sure where my journey started.
I grew up as I made of American.
So I grew up on a reservation, which is probably not something that a lot of you are familiar
with.
But we're very spiritual.
So my grandparents were always talking to me about the creator.
And telling me stories and that's what I grew up hearing.
When I was 10 years old, all of us Native American children got shipped out to a Catholic
boarding school.
Because they thought that that would make us more American I guess.
So I spent two years in a Catholic boarding school, and none of it made any sense.
And the only thing that I really learned after the two years was that I'm definitely not
Catholic.
So as I got older, people started asking me they were like: So what is your religion?
And I was like well I don't really know.
You know we're spiritual but we don't have a name for it.
It's just a way of life.
It's who we are.
You know you spend your whole day in prayer, the elders are always telling us that we're
supposed to walk in prayer.
Every step is supposed to be a prayer.
And as long as you're doing that, then you're living life the way that you should.
But we didn't have a name for it.
So it made it really confusing when people would ask what is your religion.
So I started looking into other religions and I started studying everything.
Any religion that I could get information about, I was like: What is this?
And eventually I would come to a point with all of them that I was like this just doesn't
make sense.
No matter how many times a day I pray, I am never going to be a god.
It's not happening.
They just didn't make sense.
So time kept going on and after a while, I actually met a Muslim and we started talking.
And I was like: Wow you do that?
Really?
Wow so do I!
And it just started getting to a point where I was like you know maybe I need to read more
about this.
So I went online and I started reading whatever I could.
And it all just made sense most of it with stuff that I had already heard from my grandparents.
So it just seemed to make sense.
So I kept reading.
And I went to the grocery store one day and we had this little bin in the grocery store.
It was like books people would drop off.
And they'd buy the books and the money would be donated to charity.
So right on the top of the stack was like all of these books about Islam.
So I was like cool!
This is awesome!
So I bought the whole stack of books and I went home.
And I started reading them and I was like: Yeah.
Yeah, this really makes sense.
So then I decided that I was going to try to read the Quran.
And I went ahead and I started reading it and at first it felt a little bit weird.
Because a lot of the stuff that I was reading was stuff that I had heard from my grandfather.
So at first it was like: Okay.
This is this is different.
And I kept reading it and I was like: Wow!
I've been doing this my whole life.
And I just never knew it.
So I just got to a point that it just made sense.

Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool: Salah strikes late to seal dramatic victory - Duration: 4:46.
Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool: Salah strikes late to seal dramatic victory
Mohamed Salah struck a late winner to seal a 2-1 victory and Liverpools first Premier League double over Crystal Palace since 1997/98.
Jurgen Klopp saw 16 of his senior players embark on international duty after the 5-0 win over Watford, and with a skeleton squad remaining the German opted against a warm-weather training camp.
Instead, preparations for Saturdays trip to Selhurst Park kicked off at the beginning of the week, with his internationals filtering back depending on their schedules.
This could have served as a setback for the Reds, but despite a clutch of injuries Klopp was still able to name a formidable side against Palace, making two changes from March 17.
Looking to cement their place above Tottenham in the table, the pressure was on Liverpool to take three points from former manager Roy Hodgson, and after toiling they were able to do so.
Klopp makes two changes after injury to Gomez and Can Milivojevic opens scoring with penalty as Karius fouls Zaha Mane sees penalty call and goal ruled out in frustrating half Winger levels three minutes after the break with clipped finish Salah nets late winner after Lallanas injury forces change.
Having last worn their white away kit in the 2-1 loss at Man United, Liverpool were almost cut open in similar fashion in the opening stages, but Loris Karius was on hand to deny Wilfried Zaha after he had eluded Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The 19-year-old was exploited again minutes later, and this time Karius wiped out the onrushing Zaha, with Luka Milivojevic stepping up to convert the resulting penalty.
With their passing sloppy and Palaces defence sitting deep, the Reds grew increasingly desperate as the first half wore on, with Sadio Mane booked for a dramatic fall in the penalty area.
Mane then had the ball in the back of the net on the half-hour mark, but the winger was ruled out for offside to pour further misery on his afternoon.
Both Mane and Salah tested Wayne Hennessey in the closing minutes of the first half, but the Wales stopper denied the duo to round off a frustrating 45 minutes in Croydon.
Klopp sent his side out early during the break, and they flew out of the traps as a result, and it was Mane who levelled the scores on 48 minutes following James Milners great play out wide.
The Senegaleses bizarre afternoon continued as, believing he had been fouled in a tangle with James McArthur, he picked the ball up only for it deemed to be a deliberate handball, conceding a dangerous free-kick.
Unsurprisingly, Klopp made the decision to bring Mane off soon after, introducing both Adam Lallana and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as the anonymous Georginio Wijnaldum also made way.
Lallana lasted just three minutes, however, before limping off with yet another injury as Klopp sent on Dejan Lovren to prompt a change in system.
This ultimately paid off, as the Reds added width allowed Oxlade-Chamberlain to cross for Andrew Robertson, whose resulting pass was touched down and drilled home by Salah to seal a 2-1 win.
TIA Man of the Match: Andrew Robertson.
Referee: Neil Swarbrick.
Next match: Man City (H) – Champions League Quarter-Final – April 4.
