Thanks for the article. Although it is significantly lacking in details (regarding Smash and his antithesis), the “antithesis” he is referring to, seems to be concepts that are associated with fighting games (such as combos) as opposed to the principles which are fundamental by definition. It is...

Smash doesn’t violate tons of fundamental fighting game principles; the way that the principles are followed just happen to be different and unique. Even if Smash did violate tons of fundamental fighting game principles, that doesn’t invalidate PP’s argument. Other principles might not be...

Not going to say your going insane, but Kirby wasn't made to be smaller unless I somehow made him smaller without knowing it (which would indeed be crazy). There should be no unlisted changes aside from Cutter Dash being activated by holding "B" instead of "Forward + B." I couldn't finish...

I’m not really going to go much into this but it’s important to note that certain changes might seem strange without trying it out first and seeing how it works as a whole. Certain changes might still be hard to understand after trying it, but I guarantee you that there are very intricate and...

I really wanted to help PM be the best game it could be and took it upon myself to do all of this hard work. However, in general it feels like my posts that I spend a lot of time writing are generally ignored, even when attempting to communicate with PMDT members. So I thought I should...

I do have a list of changes that is rather long, but I'd really want to see people's first impressions. Also certain changes might seem strange without trying it out first and seeing how it works as a whole. I will post the changes sometime this week though.

Although I promised to fix Kirby once I have entered the PMDT, I was not accepted, and so I cannot fulfill my promise. For this I apologize to you all. I was going to surprise you all with a fully functional Kirby that I redesigned, but unfortunately that will never come to be. Since I am...

I have posted relevant information in another thread and so I will link it here as reference: http://smashboards.com/threads/a-change-i-feel-has-yet-to-be-made.378928/page-2#post-18192527

Obviously it wouldn’t make sense for faster weak hits to maintain constant advantage allowing for continuous comboability with no reliable counterplay in a game with scaling knockback and hitstun. However that doesn’t mean that it makes sense to be punished for hitting the opponent especially...

The problem here is that you are making many assumptions that are not correct, as already previously explained. You are assuming that the data gained from the opponent has equal value when playing on a neutral stage first versus a counterpick stage first. You are also assuming that the better...

Your results are not comparable at all. Their results are based on players who have won game 1 that win the set. This means statistics based on the player winning the set by winning either game 1,2 or winning game 1,3. Their results do not account for skill level at all (because there isn’t...

"Each method for both types of sets (classic and your proposed set) was simulated over 100,000 sets in order to approximate the % chance of each outcome under multiple cases of skill difference between the two fighting players. These outcomes apply to the player who has the higher skill in each...

The problem here is not that people dislikes change. The problem here (aside from the flawed initial assessment of the “classical” method) is that the method used to come up with your data is flawed, and the conclusions based on such data are also flawed. Then you ignore or fail to properly...

We don’t need 10 stages, but the community wants 10 stages. So if we are to have 10 stages, then it would be best that those 10 stages are all meaningfully different (to avoid redundancy), but good enough to warrant its place on the list. As you said, you really like my proposed list, and...

I have been working on stages to solve the issues frequently being brought up, and to solidify the stage list. So far it seems that most are in agreement with at least the following: Starter / Counterpick: 1. GHZ / WL 2. BF / FoD 3. ? / FD 4. SV / ? 5. PS2 / ? By properly...
