TAS has not been used as much, at least so far, for Brawl due to it being a newer and slightly less technical game. However, a code for the stand alone code handler, Ocarina, has been released which allows frame advance gameplay. However, the frame advance is manual, making for inconsistent progress (such as one frame being advanced slightly later after the one before it, making editing an inconsistent process). Due to Brawl not having a consistent slow down program such as [[Action Replay]], most TAS's done for Brawl are done using the [[Dolphin]] emulator. The few examples include TAS's of Break the Targets by JPleal10. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBPT_YWJlFs]
There are relatively few TAS's of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' due to its novelty and being a less technical game. However, a code for Gecko OS exists which allows frame-advance gameplay.

A tool-assisted speedrun/superplay (abbreviated TAS) is a video of a video game played using tools unavailable in standard play, such as slow motion or frame-by-frame advance of the gameplay in order to play it perfectly — that is, without taking any damage and utilizing intricate, extensive combos. There are a number of people within the Super Smash Bros. community known for their TAS exploits.

SSB64 TAS examples

Antdgar is widely known for creating the first TAS of Super Smash Bros. with a now-old video where he abused Shine Cancels in order to perfectly beat two Level 9 Captain Falcons. Isai, similar to Silent Wolf in Super Smash Bros. Melee, has been jokingly called a real life TAS player. Other people within the Super Smash Bros. community famous for TAS are:

  • As stated above, Antdgar, known for his extensive collection of Super Smash Bros. TAS videos.
  • JPleal10, famous for his Super Smash Bros. Melee TAS's. He is known as "House" on Smashboards [1].
  • BlazeSSB.
  • DsGnoll, a Japanese TAS player.

SSBM TAS examples

The Perfect Control series by SuperDoodleMan is a good example of a Super Smash Bros. Melee TAS. This Smasher is well-known for his hack gameplay. Likewise, Antdgar, the same person who has done tool assists on Super Smash Bros. has recently done TAS's of the Ice Climbers' chain grab techniques. AjpAnton is another well-known member of the Super Smash Bros. Melee hacking community, who posted videos of Home Run Contest and Target Test, pushing the game's physics to its limits. Jokingly, Silent Wolf's hands are often called TAS-worthy due to his technical skill.

SSBB TAS examples

There are relatively few TAS's of Super Smash Bros. Brawl due to its novelty and being a less technical game. However, a code for Gecko OS exists which allows frame-advance gameplay. However, the frame advance is manual, resulting in inconsistent progress, such as one frame being advanced slightly later than the previous. Due to Brawl not having a consistent slow-down program such as Action Replay, most TAS's done for Brawl are done using the Dolphin emulator. Among the few are TAS's of Break the Targets by JPleal10 [4].
