Forums - Nintendo - Brawl Replays Are Inaccurate

I find this hard to believe as well. How does this glitch just pick up at the exact point in the match and alter the match exactly the same the rest of the way each time. Also, didn't he say that the same video later on was fixed? How does that happen?

Flaco and Fox suck. I don't know why people actually like playing with them. I guess they like Starfox...

 What are you talking about? I find Falco and Fox to be good characters.



Bring on the cat pictures. This thread fails hard.



No this one deserves fat ladies. I can't believe so many people didn't see this hoax.

 I like Fox and he's pretty cool. I liked Falco more in Melee though as a slower, but stronger Fox clone.

I don't really like falco or fox either. Fox is just a pale shadow of the awesomeness he was in the first Smash Bros.



Honestly, I would believe it. I haven't watched the video and I can't account for it's authenticity, but I've heard the complaint before on the Smashboards. It wouldn't be the first time a game had this problem either. When Starcraft got a patch that allowed replays to be recorded, sometimes the replays came out innacurate. The reason:It doesn't record a video of the match, it records instructions for a computer to recreate the match. It's just 2 computers on the same stage putting in the same commands at the time specified to recreate what happened originally. Now this works most of the time, but on occasion the computer records a command wrong, or the timing of the command wrong, or just for some reason doesn't record any commands. This results in matches that come out weird, and buggy and will resemble your match only up until a certain time and then falls apart.

It's not unheard of, and I'm sure sometimes the computer gets it wrong for smash bros too. Not the end of the world.

That's interesting. It doesn't explain why he's playing replay 20 and 21 though.

It's not the end of the world, obviously, but most of us were just questioning the authenticity of the video.



"Well this could be possible. The replay data isn’t a video, it’s just a wrote down script of what the fighters did. Any slight delays in reading the data and the characters will perform differently than what you previously did."

 Well you have to consider also the fact that the starts of both matches were exactly the same, regardless of whether there were two different replay videos. The computer made the exact same movements as before, and there was no discernable pause in the middle of the battles. Who has enough time to replay a match until a computer does the exact same thing twice?
