well, the vid is fastfox vs levi

so fastfox is probably the one with the levi tag

lol

now I want to character ditto against Paul

 

[Tyson651]

I thought that was Paul or David (Dragonz) lol

I need to meet this guy

these people all live in Edmonton right

btw is it wrong to like Fox's f-air

i never teamed with paul or david in any tourney lol.

and yes, all edmonton

Just gave Project M another try. It still feels wack as hell, I don't think they should ever call it Melee 2.0, it feels like a seperate game

and it seems like it's targeted more towards Brawl and Brawl+ players, not Melee people :-/, especially with Fox and stuff being noobed down


EDIT: Just watched the vids of BOOM vs ISAI

Dan 4 best overall smasher in the world

 

[Crusayer]

How was fox noobed down?

Everything was ported directly from melee. There's just a 1 frame lag on movement and SHing is easier I've heard.

Yeah SH is way too easy now, which makes it feel more like Falco

Fox in Melee is fun cause you feel so good when you are on top of your tech skill

 

[Crusayer]

Are you a fox now? Did you ditch your falco o_O.

No I'm still Falco mainly

but vs Falco I am Fox, and also vs Marth and maybe Doc

if I ever decide to play PM again, I'll probs use a non-melee character so that my Melee doesn't get messed up

 

[Taste]

There needs to be some melee goin on in Calgary, I want to play

 

[Stevo]

Personally, I've played Melee too long to ever get my timing really messed up.
Worst case scenario I just need to warm up for a couple matches. I also don't really play space animals, so that probably has something to do with it.

I think the timing is only off by a frame or two in Project M. I think the rest that throws you off would probably be the graphics and visual cues I'm guessing. It's boatloads better than the first release they did as far as melee comparison

 

[x After Dawn x]

HEY DUDES. I haven't smashed with a lot of you in a while, finals are over this week so I'm hoping somebody hosts so this can change.

For some reason I feel like smashing at Tyson's house

 

[Tyson651]

i dont mind hosting, but i only got 1 tv and im pretty far south for a lot of people.

 

[lemonlau36]

You should host next Wednesday

 

[ruhtraeel]

Yo Ben Wednesday is my last final we can smash after that

Steve why is it one frame off, can't they fix that

and why did they noob Fox

I think they are trying to fix it. Something about movement physics starting 1 frame late in brawl.

I'm not sure what you mean by "noob fox"

 

[KlTHKlN]

Arthur doesn't really know what he's talking about, it's k

 

[victra♥]

Looks like IGN is a big fan of Project M

http://au.wii.ign.com/articles/122/1223403p1.html

I'm glad it's better than the last release. I'm really excited to try it out for myself. I've heard from friends that its pretty damn close, which is honestly good enough for me.

And considering how much they've improved, and how they can continue to polish it up in the future, it's really exciting.

Also, dat wolf.

I played it today. Falco feels really close to identical, at least for my style of falco. Fox seems a tiny bit off, and falcon seems slower.

It's a great game, but I just can never see myself playing it just like melee simply because it doesn't look like melee. I am always constantly thinking it's brawl so I am never trying to wavedash and lcancel. Maybe if I play it a ton I'll get used to it.

 

[Taste]

All I know is I saw a video of Lucario and he looked super slick.

I think it's cause we all think every character we play is off cause we know the feeling the most.

For me Falco seems more off than Fox

And what I meant by noob Fox was making him easier to control with his SH being super easy now, it doesn't feel like Melee Fox anymore

My two biggest complaints right now are
1. Air dodging seems off, or the look of it, or the size of chars/platforms or something. I can't waveland properly a lot of the time, it seems I always airdodge through the platform.
2. Wavedashing for Falco seems slower


I think I will play single player adventure and stuff with it, but play Melee still against other people

 

[Crusayer]

If you're playing the game for your own satisfaction for tech skill, then yeah, just stick with melee.

Other people that want to play with the new stages, new characters, and etc would love PM. I'm personally really looking forward to playing with Lucario.

And if you guys are really that concerned about the graphics, there are mods out there that change the models to more melee (along with the SFX). They just didn't include it in the main installation since it would require a loader and not everyone has a modded wii.

The 1 frame lag is pretty big in terms of feel. You'll get used to it.

I also thought you're past the stage of "I can SH consistently with fox now!" in terms of tech skill arthur lol. Dunno why you're really complaining about it being easier if you could always do it? It seemed like you were pretty technically sound last time I saw you play.

 

[Alphicans]

I wasn't a huge fan of lucario's feel. D3 was really interesting to use in a melee setting, and the changes to lucas are pretty hilarious. Comboing into his beast usmash is ********.

 

[ruhtraeel]

Played a bit more. So much stuff seems off

But yeah Fox feels off now too, and the timing for everything seems different, especially wavelanding

For some reason I shine land a lot when I don't want to and also anything OoS just feels terrible

Also it seems like when I shine on a platform I never use my double jump, as in like fall through shine then double jump

sometimes I want to do it

 

[Imagination]

lol i was levi i think

 

[Crusayer]

Wavedash OoS doesn't work properly since L, R, and Z are all considered one button. So if you're shielding with R and then jump and airdodge with L while holding R, it won't work since the game thinks you're still holding one of the buttons and the airdodge won't come out.

Landing detection is currently set at a later time than before (used to land at feet) but they can't make it dynamic like melee's yet iirc. It's better than before but not perfect.

 

[x After Dawn x]

so wait, is project M finally completed or is this just another big beta release?

i dont mind hosting, but i only got 1 tv and im pretty far south for a lot of people.

bb you can go as south as you want on me

 

[Crusayer]

Not full.

Just demo 2.

 

[Stevo]

When I play Project M I play the melee characters the same way I would in melee.
For example, I have a hard time using DK's dash attack. I forget that I can do that now.

I think it would just take some getting used to.

I, for one, am at least convinced that Project M will be really fun. May not replace melee, but will be fun.

 

[kyaputenfarukon07]

Anyone tried playing Project M online?
Its a little slow but works

 

[Stevo]

I know for a FACT i would hate it.

beyond the lag issues, it also makes wavedash out of shield really awkward, as it removes one of their bug fixes to be able to play it online.

 

[Imagination]

Is smash being played still? I'm probs gonna have nothing to do all summer

 

[ruhtraeel]

I played the leak version online with some random Brawl+ player in the states

Lag was pretty much unplayable for spacie tech skill

That Brawl+ guy was so convinced it would replace Melee

 

[Rush]

Done exams. So do people in Calgary still smash or something ??

 

[KlTHKlN]

I wonder if theres a good summer date to host a tournament in Calgary...

Yo Ben do you think you could get a venue for a tournament during the summer for Melee/Brawl

like one to bring casuals and semi-competitive Brawl people and maybe Edmonton as well

house tourneys are nice and all but the hype is so much more when it's at like an organized place

 

[Taste]

I'll talk the the person who books rooms this week. I'd like to run monthlys.

pk thunder jacket huh, news to me
