just did a match a vsage that lasted 9 seconds
For the best moves in the game the best down tilt is the Vsage because he is easly able to kill at ledge.The best up b side b and jab its keke.the best forward air is pepper and she also takes Nb and also the worsed down air and makes up for it because of Nair. finally sanbad has easily the best recovery to the side because of his side b but lacks hight in his up b
also if i made a tier list it would be Vsage S kekeS pepper a and sanbad b.
if you are coming from smash bros then pepper is like sheik.keke is steve(kinda).Vsage is just broken,and sanbad i think is just a swordy idk i dont really like him.
I hope they nerf kiki shes op literally steve
bad because i need friends to play
Come to the Discord to make cool friends who play the coolest game in the universe.

Haha! Thanks ♥️
(Pepper mains are the bests!)
Hi, I hope you’re doing well!
I work on a product to make therapy for children and youth more engaging by integrating games and other fun activities.
Would you have some time to chat about a partnership/integration?

excellent game! impressive to see the mechanics of platform fighters translated to nes so well
Thank you 🥰
bRO HOW CAN WE SPEAK ABOUT DEV A GAME, I M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT DO GAMES FOR NES OU SNESS. I HAVE THE PROJECT ALREADY DONE ON PAPER AND DESIGN, WITH YOU ARE INTERESTED IN KNOWING MORE. PLEASE IM READY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AND WILL BLOW PEOPLE'S MINDS!! HIT ME UP ON INSTAGRAM @DUNGEONSOFKARDS
Hello! Happy to hear that you like the game!
Can you try this version of the emulator? https://super-tilt-bro.com/tmp/fceux-win32.zip
You will need to download the normal windows version (super-tilt-bro-windows.zip) to get the ".nes" file from its "rom" folder. Then open the .nes with the emulator above. It should work, and you should be able to go online.
If it works, I'll find a way to include it in next release so you don't have to care about 32/64 bits emulators.
Thank you very much, Sgadrat! Now I can play Super Tilt Bro online, it's good that in the future maybe it will be possible to play Super Tilt Bro without an emulator. I'm glad to know that you answered me quickly.
Begining with today's release (2.0-beta7) You should be able to play with the Windows version available on itch.io
Please tell me if there is any problem.
Me encanta este juego es como renacer en la nes apoyo el proyecto espero mi cartucho más adelante
Great game!!
I just wish there were more characters.
I love this old style. What I liked the most was that I can play it without downloading it, but download it, because it's worth it.
im back to play this game a year and a half later...
Pepper's new win/loss animations are great!
Haha, and did you see that "special thanks" section in the credits? Freakin awesome ;)
Thank you ♥️
Why does Sinbad look so much more polished in the trailer, and will that design be added to the base game?
yes, he is like that on the development version. So next update he will look like that ;)
I made a small animation mod for Pepper that changes her victory, defeat, and shield animations. It will be in my profile later today. (I have no prior experience placing files on my profile so I have no idea wheter this will work, but live and learn, I guess.)
Nice!
Looking forward to see that 👀
'Tis here! This is the link. Pepper's Animation Mod
Here is your ROM: http://supertiltbro.wontfix.it/files/tmp/smiley09/tilt_no_network_unrom_(E).nes
I just had to change the last frame's duration of the defeat animation. Max value is 255.
I love it. May I reuse some parts in the official game? Notably Pepper's victory/defeat animations 😊️
Certainly! It would be really fun to see them in the base game. Thanks for fixing the problem with the defeat animation, too. Much appreciated.
Done, and you got your name in the credits ;)
The AI can be cheesed by Sinbad by standing slightly to the side of the spawn platform and timing Neutral Special correctly, then landing Side Tilt and using Aerial Neutral Special to confirm the KO if Side Tilt didn't finish the job. (This works for any difficulty)
I believe this can be mitigated by having the AI leave the platform almost immediately, among the most basic solutions.
WWWHOHOOOOOHOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOO KICKSTARTER IS HEEEEERRRRREEEE Congratulations sgadrat
(wait do I need an NES to run the game cartridge?)
Thanks!
Yes you need a nes to run the physical game. We put a cheaper reward with only digital OST and a comic with a small story featuring the game characters if you really want to help but don't need the cart ♥️
(The game here will stay free and kept up to date. We really sell the carts.)
Do mods work with the cartridge? I dont plan on getting one (just the Digital Tilt Bro Pack if I can, but I probably won't get it before the goal is reached) but want to see if someone else might.
once again, the answer is "technically yes, but that is hard to setup"
I think I'll add a ticket "make the mods downloadable ingame" to my TODO-list. That would be super cool and make mids work anywhere easily 🔥
._. ... I can't run game files on my computer (chromebook). Therefore, I can't playtest my OWN MOD. hm. hmm. hhhhmmmmm. ANYwho, Igbik is getting a good amount of progress, and will (hopefully be out somewhere in May.
if you can hop on discord and send me the .json file, I can build a private version for you.
(I really should add a button to do that automatically on the web editor.)
No worries, I'm working on a workaround. (I can't use Discord either) I plan on using a different computer to download it.
Anyway, you will need to recompile the game. Wich is not trivial to setup.
Any other way to contact me in private? By email maybe: sgadrat@gmail.com
I tried to plug 2 controllers to my laptop to play with my friend but it only let the 1st player play with a controller and forced the 2nd player to use the key bored is there a way to fix that
edit- Never mind i figured it out
Haha, glad you got it solved. I would have been of little help I fear 😅
I want this game to get popular because, well, ot's a great game, but at the same time I dont because then I'll lose my title as one of the best Super Tilt Bro. players in the world
Every character's best move
Sinbad:
Sinbad's Aerial Neutral Special is by far the strongest move in his toolkit, performingessentially anything you need. Damage? Check. It deals 8% per hit and is a multi hit. Quick move to pull out? Check. Safe landing option? Check. Combo move? Approaching tool? Check and check. This move has it all.
Kiki:
Kiki's Forward Tilt is easily the best move for her simply due to its sheer damge and range. It outranges almost every other attack and deals a solid 8%, making this a staple in her moveset
Pepper:
Neutral Special is Pepper's essential tool, starting combos, allowing her to recover and to escape combos. It works as a useful spawn trap to help you get in close, and lets you start many combos leading into her more powerful moves, like Forward Air.
VGSage:
VGSage's moveset is pretty evenly spread out in terms of power (aside from Side Special), but his Dash Attack is probably the best of the bunch, starting a lot of combos, and if done correctly, can give VGSage a lot of aerial momentum leading to quick KOs off the side. I would also give this spot to the inital part of his run for doing the same thing, but running isn't really a move.
I have no idea why I make these but they're strangely fun to do anyways heres a Drip Pigeon
Sinbad:
Kiki:
Pepper:
VGSage:
I think VGSage still needs a nerf to his Dash Attack speed - it gives him way too much momentum if he jumps at the start of it, leading to KOs off the side incredibly early, and Sinbad needs a nerf to his Aerial Neutral Special (smaller hitbox, less damage) and Dash Attack (lower knockback).
Kiki may need buffs to her specials a small amount, making her Neutral Special last long enough to be more than just "Make them land early so I can hit them with an Up Tilt".
Pepper is in a pretty good place at the moment, can still hold her own against the other characters due to her high knockback options and mixups.
This is my updated analysis of the characters and what they would need to become more balanced. Also, meet the big hitter Igbik!
I will have a few more of his alternate colors later, tap the image for the link
Let me know if you want me to make more sprites
*Me, acting like I know what's best for the game*
Haha, that's cool. Sorry for the late reply. I love your analyse of characters, exactly the kind of feedback I lack the most. Thank you!
About lgbik, I won't pick it in the official build because I am really touchy with which character should make it to the main roster. But, I admit he is promising and would fill a hole in the current cast. Did you know the game can be modded, we even have a character editor: https://benoitryder.github.io/stb-mod-editor/#/ for now it is quite technical to build the game after creating a character in the editor, but I could personally help with that when you are happy with the character in the editor ;)
Cool! I'll be sure to check it out!
Project Igbik is underway!
how do i play this game on computer?
Dowload the Linux, Windows or MacOS version depending on your system and launch it.
Alternatively, you can download the itch.io client that should diwnload the appropriate version when you click "install" on Super Tilt Bro.
Thanks,but i cant find the application or even a way to launch it
Click that "Download Now" button on the game's page
this is so cool!
Thank you ♥️
really good! I love the speed at which this game moves, I like the 4th character
Thanks 😊
realizes that windbox accelerates other movement...
I was running at my friend from behind and they used punch wrong way, but i jumped over them and windbox sent me flying into blast zone.
VGsage punch is crazy
Very fun game , it has lot's of potential but I wish more people knew about it. One suggestion would be to add a harder cpu level
Thanks!
A new CPU level would be cool, I am sure I have that somewhere on the TODO-list. Sadly it means rewriting chunks of the AI's logic, so I have to focus on more impacting changes first. Notably, next release the Arcade mode should be way more enjoyable than now 😉
I am now a Vgsage main
whats the next character???
Not yet decided ;)
Do you have any suggestion?
I think a character that has slow mobility and lacking combo potential but massive damage would fill in an empty slot relatively well. We have:
Kiki - Ranged controller
Pepper - Weak setup character with complex combos and dragging moves
Sinbad - Combo speedster
VGSage - Good damage with powerful combos
I think something similar to a shadow warrior would fit the role pretty well. Here's an image for my concept - his name is Igbik.
He uses his Jade Sword to deal massive damage and start strong combos relying on momentum. It's hard to find an opening with how slow he is, but if he can find one, you're in for a tough time. (I'll make more sprites if you like the concept)
how to make private room
When going to "private", the game asks you a password.
Put whatever you want in it, and tell you friend to put the same password. You will be matched together.
ohh i see got it
hello love the game but i cant join the discord
Weird, the link seems to still be valid. What is the error message?
when i press the link it says invite invalid so i dont know
it say I got good connection with no red popup no matter how long I wait nobody matches up with me i play on brower by the way
This is because there are not a lot of players. Your chances to be on a server at the same time as another user are very thin. The game is quite unknown :)
You can still play online with your friends, or come on Discord to ask if someone wants to play in our matchmaking channel ;)
ok thanks
this is cool
but online mode not working
Damn, I just tested, everything seems fine.
What exactly is the problem? Does it freeze when choosing "casual", or when you already choosed your server and estimating latency, or ingame?
Are you on browser or desktop? If on browser, when trying to go online without fullscreen, do you see a red popup saying that your performance are too weak?
Thanks for saying it's cool though 😊
This game is awesome! You should add final smashes!
Thanks!
Final smashs would be a nice addition to the game.
What are these characters from?
Sinbad is the mascot of the Ogre3D graphics engine.
Kiki is the mascot of the Krita painting software.
Pepper is the main character of the webcomic Pepper&Carrot.
VGSage is the mascot of the VideoGameSage forum.
The first three are from the free and opensource culture. Based on Super Tilt Bro. being an opensource project.
The last one is from the retrogaming community, because this is a game for the NES.
krita?
Kiki is Krita's mascot yeah :)
We should do a 1v1 sometime, sgadrat.
Sure come on Discord, we'll se when we are both available
nerf neutral special
I agree. I plan to remove the hitboxes on prepare time, maybe reduce the range of the strong hitbox, and maybe increase end lag duration.
Another thing that would be cool would be to have the big animation + instakill only once per game (maybe on the sage's last stock). Normal, punch would be powerful but not instakill.
Yeah. Also, what is The Knight? I have been wondering ever since I saw it in the description.
ingame? It is the character from the big animation when you hit your punch.
In lore? It is another character from the VideoGameSage forum.
Ohhhhhhhhh. I see.
whats "The Knight"
