The new characters announced in 3.0

[Hinata]

I know it says characters should be discussed in their respective forums, but there are no forums for these characters, so... I dunno.

You can discuss your reactions and stuff here too if you want. Or use the Social thread. Whichever you prefer.

The Hype is Real

 

[The_Altrox]

I'm going to miss Kirby's Brawl dash, but the Melee one being brought back is cool.
Thank god Yoshi can jump out of shield.
Samus's upgrades look sick.
Yay Olimar!

Also, at the risk of being crucified by the PM board, did we really need to bring back Icee chaining? I mean, didn't they take out chain grabs on DDD and such for a reason (though admittedly, those were far easier.) And this isn't me hating on the Ice Climbers or the people who play them, but I'm curious.

 

[Hinata]

The Hype is Real

Indeed. The hype is very real.

Anyway! After seeing this new trailer, I'm about as hyped as all of you. I also had some questions, though. First off, the beam change for Samus. Does this only affect her Smash Attacks, or her Neutral-B too? Are there more beams than the standard and Ice Beam? How do the Ice Climbers work? They seem to be controlled separately. Also, as a non-character related question, is the new Distant Planet going to be replacing SSE: Jungle? I can only assume it is, but you never know.

 

[The_Altrox]

How do the Ice Climbers work? They seem to be controlled separately.

They could always be desynched to a certain extent. In Brawl (and Melee too? idk), they could chain grab people to death. There's a reason why they're ranked numero dos in Brawl right now.

SAMUS HAS A STANCE CHANGE WE GETTIN MO LIKE MAHVEL ERRYDAY LES GO

 

[shinhed-echi]

Just popping in to say...

OMG... I can't believe they actually came through with one of my suggestions for Samus. T_T (Multiple beams)
I feel like I contributed to shape her up somehow, heheh. <3 Even if it's just between Plasma<>Ice.

 

[The_Altrox]

Also, for Snake, when he smokes the cigarette, he should toss it afterward, causing 1% burn damage. It would be cool to see him spoil recoveries that way

Also, the IC's have been confirmed to NOT be able to Infinite. They can still CG, but not infinitely.

 

[xFumbles]

he does toss it ^ hopefully it has knockback. withen a year, the balance issues should be fixed, we should have light sheilding and melee teathers....AND NERFED TEATHER LEDGE HOPS. PM will be better than any smash game by far then. imo it is even in 2.6b :3

 

[xFumbles]

im sure at about 70-100%, the chain grabs stop working. they also are not 2 seperate climbers, the combos were so real it just seemed like it.

 

[Sobreviviente]

I dont like kirby... really, is horrendous xD at least his old nair is back.

Olimar :3 just what i was expecting, amazing work.

Don't smoke, kids. It damages your opponent's recovery, and you don't want that.

Good idea for a slogan...

Come to think of it, it doesn't sound as effective when I read it again.

 

[AER0]

Somebody please clarify, can samus only switch between 2 beams, or are there more. and can samus jump/wavedash out of crawl? and lastly, it seems that her crawl maybe be the fastest of the whole cast! I cant explain how mind blown i am with this update. GREAT STUFF PMBR!

 

[The_Altrox]

btw on Kirby, did he keep his Side B air from Brawl? That move was sick when timed right, but it sucked in Melee.

 

[GP&B]

Trailer shows Kirby using his Brawl aerial Side B.

It did? I must have missed that. That move had sick written all over it. Just very situational.

Warchamp said that he does take 1% damage.

well I'm not sure about hurting others, but he hurts himself

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

EVERYTHING IS AMAZING

They're def leaving something out for Samus though.. they didn't show the screw attack at all.

And actually ONE thing that made me sad.. they kept the crappy Brawl version of Kirby's hammer in the air
I want the Melee version!

Really? I find it so annoying and slow in Brawl!

 

[Vickyboi]

They did show screw attack, right after she spiked charizard.

the melee version sucked though. like seriously

She can only switch between Fire and Ice. Samus can jump/WD out of crawl, just like any other characters with crawls can.

 

[BigHairyFart]

I haven't played Melee or vBrawl in so long I can't even remember which one Kirby's aerial Side-Bs go with.

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

Really? I mean they could have used the melee version and made it better than it was (more powerful or something).. It's more accurate to what he does when he uses a hammer in Kirby games. The brawl one is just so slow!

They could always be desynched to a certain extent. In Brawl (and Melee too? idk), they could chain grab people to death. There's a reason why they're ranked numero dos in Brawl right now.

I still don't understand how the Ice Climbers work lol.. Maybe that's why I always sucked as them, I hated when they desynched! Nana would just always run off like an idiot and screw me over all the time (esp when I needed to recover!). So can someone provide a description as to how they would work? And especially how I would make sure Nana would be near me when I need to recover!

I would also like to know this. I never played them much in Melee because of that, so I never learned that it was useful(supposedly) until recently, so I never figured out how it worked.

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

Oh and also about Ice Climbers, can you decide when they desynch and when they stick together??

 

[BigHairyFart]

Would it be possible to change the announcer call for Mewtwo(easily, I might add)? I don't like the one they have in now.

 

[cmart]

Ice climbers will work like previous smash titles, where you have to perform specific techniques and set ups to desynch them. Project M will feature desynchs pulled from both titles however.

okay i get this, but I never understood how they worked in Melee of Brawl in the first place.. so how does desynching work, and how can you re synch them. I need details cause i dont get it at all lol. I was just always annoyed that Nana was not beside me. I would rather have them constantly 100% synched up. Now perhaps if i understood how desynching worked (and more importantly re-synching), then that would be different.

 

[HeroMystic]

I really, really like the Ice Beam mechanic they implemented for Samus. She needed a bit more complexity and this really did the trick.

Mario, Roy, Samus, Sonic... so many characters to master.

yeah me neither, i always thought that whenever they did some cool desync combo it was simply the wrath of Nana kicking in, i too would like to know the how

on another note, does anybody here think that samus is gonna be top 8 material

cuz god-****ing-damn she is looking mighty fine with two different beams

i'd also like to say thank you PMBR, you guys deserve to get invited to sakurai's house for dinner (possibly give him ideas on how to make smash 4)

 

[shinhed-echi]

Even the part about using taunts to switch between them? ... :O

... Fascinating!
It just didn't look too possible since so many people shot that idea down immediately by the sheer ammount of work. XDD

But the full idea was this (one beam assigned to each taunt command), would be awesome, (but I'm more than ok with with Plasma and Ice)

I just created all the new character forums, go check them out for discussion!
