A very basic way to beat the challenges on the challenge board. You'll notice there's nothing here that requires much skill, so people who don't especially like target test can get the rewards.
The point of this video is to show how to achieve the challenge times in a way that anyone can do, not to show off records. (I've also gotten better at this game since the time I uploaded them.)
I did this in such a way so that most of the characters can do the same thing. The video was meant for people who can't figure out how to break all the targets consistently within the time limit, so I played safely rather than quickly.
I wouldn't expect your times to be on par with the WR holders, but you made some decisions that even an ameteur shouldn't. One example is grabbing the ledge at the end of level 3. You could have broken the target with 3 different projectiles or any aerial or up-b.
the level 2 time seems a bit unusual. ppl usually use the cracker launcher for the top left target instead of breaking it. its still a great vid for beginners tho! 5/5
I have a tough time turning around with the Cracker Launcher. I don't have much control over it, so it took me several tries. Eventually, I just hit the target directly, as I couldn't consistently turn the thing at will.
you took a very unusual way in #3...most ppl jump to the odd shooting-mechanism and throw the bomb to the double targets before working through the lower stage from left to right...but u made it obvious that there are several ways to beat the time limit
Only learning the ropes as Toon Link when I made this video, the thought of using Bombs never occurred to me, let alone deliberately aiming them at something specific.
But it also proves that the time can be completed with a reasonably fast character with an easily executable game plan.
Every character has the same set, so it depends. Some of them are much harder for some characters than other. The fifth one, for instance, has a lot of out-of-the-way targets, so Lucas would have an extremely easy time there, whereas Ganondorf would have a lot of trouble.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i am way better lol sorry to brag but i guess i am and i dont play brawl that much or other video games send me the friend code and i'll send you mine and the videos also
this isn't a video for overhazard to show how pro he is... this is an instructional video to show people who can't do these on their own some effective strategies.
although he does seem to cut it really close on alot of these... on the fivth one alot of those targets could have been done faster.
For each of these, I recorded the first time I had completed them within the time limit. I messed up a lot on the fifth one, but that only means you have some pretty good breathing room for it.
I'm also glad you understood what it was for. Ihad given similar explanations for the Target Tests on GameFAQs for Melee and was greeted with similar...criticism.
Nice :P I know that you can do better, and you know you aren't as good as those wicked awesome guys. But unfortunately, people don't read descriptions any more :(
You and me got the same time on the 2nd one but I used a whole different strategy and would have possibly finished in14 seconds but I accidentally wall jumped a few times and git hit b the deku nuts which hurt me.
No, first jump and hit the target to the right and land on the platform. Jump to the Smart Bomb and toss it up, then jump left and hit the target you pass with a nair or fair. When you land fire left towords the target near the crate, miss the target and you'll hit the crate, making it fall and causing it to hit the two lower targets. Then jump, grab the Beam Sword and toss it right to make it ricochete and hit the target that was near the create, than use the Cracker Launcher (cont...)
(cont...) and take out the top left target, the one above you, and then throw it at the final target. This can be done in just under 10 seconds with Toon Link, about 15 for regular.
I got lost in the sea of Smash terminology there...I'm only mindly proficient in it, as I don't hang out within competitive circles. I'm not even competitive at all. I think I got the gist of...some of it. Not sure what "firing left" means, however.
I'm just glad I beat this within the challenge time. I hate Break the Targets, so chances are I'll never play as Toon Link for this ever again.
Do you mean compared to Melee? The falling speed has been slowed down to make aerial combat easier, and the game uses a completely different physics engine (Havok) than before.
o my bad.. im just finishing them while watching but i think its easier to get Lucario in SSE or through vs. matches. But nice vid especially since its achievable. 5/5
Thanks. Subspace Emissary seems to be easiest, since to get all the Target stages, you have to go through Classic at various difficulties. That's how I got Lucario.
It would be harder to do some of these target tests with certain characters. Level 5 is a lot quicker and easier if you have projctiles, for instance, and bad jumpers like Ganondorf or Ike would have a rough time woth Level 4.
The Challenge time is 32 seconds for Level 4, and I did beat it. I got the Trophy from the window.
I did make a lot of mistakes in the fifth one, but I don't care. I don't like Break the Targets, and after meeting these requirements, I probably won't ever touch it again. Except to beat it with other characters to get the other Trophies.
New vid? You mean today's? I did this yesterday. I didn't bother to upload it until today. I didn't even consider using the Cracker Launcher to break the Target right above it.
Did it take time to figure out the method of throwing the beam sword near the end? It's so genius. It has to be why the beam sword is there.
Characters with projectiles tend to have it easier. Characters like Jigglypuff may have a little more difficulty, but I think it's cool that although the Target levels are all the same for everyone, it takes different strategies for different characters to clear them. I also like that you don't HAVE to use the items, but it's nice that they're there.
One thing I noticed is that the Level 5 target stage has a Cracker Launcher hiding away, allowing even those without projectiles to hit the targets safely. Nevertheless, they do have a disadvantage for speedruns.
I learned the beam Sword thing by watching videos of the Level 5 stage before the game came out. That's pretty much all I remembered.
