What is SLAJ? ​



SLAJ is a preset equipment build for Smash 4 that gives bonus effects and is completely in game legal without modifying your Wii U console. The current equipment build consist of:​

Smooth Lander: Which reduces all aerial moves (nair, fair, bair, dair, up-air) landing lag by 1/3. For example, Ganondorf's down-air in Vanilla Sm4sh has 26 frames of landing lag. In SLAJ, he only has 17 frames of landing lag. This means he can dair an opponent at 0%, and get a grab before they are able to act out of hitstun.​

Anchor Jump: This is the biggest change in SLAJ. Anchor Jump increases gravity by 1.4x, fall speed by 1.4x, and fastfall speed by 1.1x. This means that characters do not jump as high, they fall faster to the ground, and they don't go as high when being knocked vertically.​

Double Jump Boost: This increases double jump height by 1.3x. We gave this to Pit, Dark Pit, Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Charizard, and Jigglypuff. Their double jumps still don't go as high as Vanilla sm4sh, but it increases their recovery, edge guarding capabilities, and general maneuverability.​

Gluey Edge: Increases ledge grab range by 1.3x. We gave this to Luigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy, Link, Toon Link, Samus, Robin, and Doc. All these characters Up-Bs (And Luigi/Doc's tornado) were nerfed in vertical distance by the heavy gravity. While gluey edge doesn't fix it completely, it does noticeably help out with them getting to the ledge.​

Super Final Smasher: This is given to every other character and is used purely for the stats.​

The stats with everything applied:

0 Attack / 0 Defense / +23 Speed​

DISCLAIMER!

SLAJ is not trying in anyway to replace Vanilla Sm4sh. We've just had a lot of fun playing this mode, and would like other people to try it and have fun themselves! Click to expand...

​

What is it like? ​

SLAJ offers a much faster sm4sh experience. Where vanilla sm4sh is very neutral focused, SLAJ is very tech chase focused. The increased speed and gravity makes combos a lot more prevalent, and It also makes edgeguarding very rewarding as recoveries become much more linear and punishable. If you'd like to see some SLAJ in action, you can watch some of the videos provided below.

How do I get it?



3 Requirements:

Smash Bros. for 3DS

11.0.0 Firmware on your 3DS

An SD card ​



SLAJ uses a universal save file for USA copies of the game. Using homebrew, you can overwrite a save file for Smash 3ds and transfer all the SLAJ custom builds to WiiU. The total transfer process should take about 20 minutes. However, as long as one person you know has the ability to access homebrew on 3DS, you can setup as many WiiU's with SLAJ as you'd like. The latest method of booting up Homebrew is used with the internet browser and is compatible with 11.0.0 firmware. Below, I will walk you through getting Homebrew booted up, and Getting SLAJ.

Spoiler: Setting up SLAJ

Scroll down until you see the link to the starter kit and download, then extract to the root of the sd card. You should have a 3ds folder, and a boot.3dsx file on the root.



2. Download Save Data Manager found here:

Scroll down to where it says "Attached files" and download the file included.

Extract to the SD card

You should now have a folder called save_manager in the 3DS folder.



3. On the root of the SD card, make a folder called saveDataBackup

Inside that folder, make another folder called save_data



4. Download the SLAJ Pack found here:

Put the account_data.bin and system_data.bin files into the save_data folder



5. Put the SD card back into the 3DS and boot it up.

Go to system setting and change the date to January 1st 2000, and the time to 00:00



6. Go into your Internet Browser settings and hit "initialize save data" on Old3DS or "reset save data" on New3DS.



7. Now enter in the following url depending on 3ds

Old3DS/2DS:

New3DS:



Homebrew can be finicky, so if it doesn't work the first few times, keep trying.



8. Now you should be in the Homebrew Launcher. If you haven't at this point already, put in your Smash 3DS Cartridge.



9. Scroll down to save_manager and Press "a"

Now select Smash for 3DS and press "a"

If you would like to keep your save file, press "a" to select Backup save data. This will take your smash 3ds save and make an account_data.bin and system_data.bin. press "x" to exit and then turn off homebrew. Take those files from your sd card and put them somewhere on your computer. You will now have to put the SLAJ account_data.bin and system_data.bin files back into the save_data folder.



For injecting the SLAJ save, press "b" to Import save data. Once its done, press "x" to exit. Then you can turn off your 3ds.



11. Boot up your Smash 3DS cartridge and every character will be loaded with an SLAJ custom slot! If you need to purchase DLC characters, you will need to manually put the equipment on yourself.

To backup/copy your save file with homebrew, you will also need Save Data Manager found here:

The last ability varies depending on the character. The heavy gravity had an increased affect on multijump characters, and certain characters recovery moves. To help this, we gave certain characters the following abilities.Alternatively, if you can access homebrew but only have smash downloaded off the eshop, you're going to need to edit the equipment yourself. Because you cannot backup cartridge data to downloaded smash off the eShop. If you'd like to know the values of the equipment, send me a PM on Smashboards or Discord and I'll walk you through it. The equipment editer can be found here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-sm4sh-save-editor.382699/ You will also need Java to use the editer: https://www.java.com/en/ If you have any questions, or would like to play SLAJ online with other people you can head over to the official SLAJ discord belowIf you need any help don't be afraid to shoot me a message on Discord and I'll be happy to help you out!
