Welcome to the new website, Demo 2.6 Announced!

[MysteryRevengerson]

Uh, I thought you could?

 

[Rarik]

You can already wavedash out of shield but it's more difficult than melee because L and R are considered the same button in brawl while in Melee they count as separate inputs, or something like that. The gist of it is that you can't air dodge until you completely let go of shield then you have to press it again, while in melee you can just jump and air dodge with the other shoulder button.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

I thought being more technical/difficult is what Melee players want/like though

I don't have a problem doing it and I came from Brawl

 

[Rarik]

Nah, what Melee players want is melee, and anything that isn't melee is bad. Why improve an unbalanced game when you can just have melee.

Edit: I dislike the melee community's attitude towards P:M, at least based on the vibe I got from the latest discussion about P:M on the melee forums.

 

[trash?]

Noticed a small problem in http://projectmgame.com/en/download. When it says "The downloads below are for NTSC Brawl Discs and Wii's only. Japanese users, click here", it's supposed to link to the japanese translation for P:M, which it currently isn't.

 

[SmashGuy]

I don't know what to think... They said next public release will feture TurboMode... But the new page syas in 3.0... Hopefully that was a mistake.

 

[Sir Combee]

I don't know if it's intentional or just no one cares about the stage, but Kongo Jungle 64 isn't on the stage list at all haha

 

[Mithost]

JCaeser stated on stream that "Turbo mode is more of a 3.0 thing". I can imagine that a lot of work is going into it, and they can't rush to push out a side-tourney mode. 2.5 has some balance issues that need to be addressed and if that is via 2.6 then I'm fine with it. Any new content will be bonus.

 

[trojanpooh]

I'm expecting at least 1 new character and a bunch of balancing and maybe some new engine fixes. The PMBR knows that in order to get everyone to update they need to trojan horse with something that will get the casual PMers excited. That said, it's only a .1 jump, so I bet only one new character will return (and my money is on Meta Knight)

 

[Mithost]

Well 2.0>2.1 just had balance changes, bug fixes, and I believe a stage or two. I can't imagine more characters being added just yet.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

"Turbo mode is more of a 3.0 thing"

Welp, I don't give a damn about 2.6 anymore. XD

Unless Meta-Knight is there. Then nevermind.

 

[UltiMario]

If they're trying to actually balance a special mode someone remind me to slap JCz the next time I see him

because seriously

 

[DMG]

slaps were had

 

[Yomi-no-Kuni]

Really like the new site and I'm pretty hyped for 2.6!

I was gonna ask wether you'd care about adding a paragraph about thought processes for your stages. Like explaining why you chose to keep the laser and bomb on Halberd, why you kept transformtations on Castle Siege, why you decided to remove destructible ground on Pits Stage and such. I'm sure there are some, and I'd be really interested.

edit: the domain has /en/ in it. Do you plan to publish the site in foreign languages?!

 

[Strong Badam]

In general, we try to sell things as they are rather than "This is how we changed this stage from Brawl and why," because it shows a lack of confidence to try to justify changes everywhere throughout our website. Things like thought processes are a bit of a deeper developer's insight that you only really get in small doses here and there.

We do plan to have multiple translations available. Our translating team are at work as we speak.

 

[Yomi-no-Kuni]

yeah, makes sense.
I didn't even mean to explain why you changed/kept things from brawl, but in general i assume you can do almost anything you want with a change, so why not explain the motivation behind the designs, rather then ony describing the stages features.
It's probably not even worth the work you'd have to putinto it, but just personally i'd be very interested
Did i mention that I like the new Page alot? :D

 

[Sixth-Sense]

New page is amazing, it's alot more organized and it seems like a respectable project fro those who have no idea what PM is

 

[SmashCentralOfficial]

Absolutely love the new website. Super excited for 2.6, regardless of the lack of Turbo mode. I'm the kind of person who would rather wait another year for a game than have an unpolished version early.

The great thing about project M is that it already is polished, and we are just getting more content every few months ^-^

Oh I definitely didn't mean anything negative! My circle and I are absolutely addicted to 2.5 as it is!

 

[SmashGuy]

Well. 2.6 isn't Turbo Mode... But they said that they're next public release will feature Turbo Mode...

 

[Mithost]

The only video documentation about turbo mode stated 3.0

they also confirmed pichu

 

[SmashCentralOfficial]

Are we getting any new characters? Like Mewtwo perhaps?

Meta Knight is all but confirmed, but anyone else is completely unknown. I think he's probably the only one though, since this demo is supposedly just a balance patch for the most part.

 

[SmashCentralOfficial]

This is supposed to be a Balance Patch, yet they're adding Meta Knight? All of my confusion.

 

[OmegaMuffin]

I'm pretty sure he meant that Meta Knight wasn't confirmed, but if anything they would add him. Idk why he's the most likely candidate but whatever, the casuals need hype too. Also, I saw turbo mode listed under the special play settings when Jolteon was playing so I guess that means it's confirmed.

But what do I know, I'm a catbug.

 

[_R@bid_]

MK's been hinted on the site already, which is why he's considered confirmed.

 

[tripwire]

Has no one seen the new MK yet?

They've stated multiple times that Turbo won't be in 2.6. The version we've been seeing in streams is a development version, not the final product.

 

[OmegaMuffin]

Oh ok. Well that's good to know lol

 

[SmashCentralOfficial]

Has no one seen the new MK yet?

There's a trailer out now if you still haven't seen. 2.6 is supposed to drop today.

 

[tripwire]

nah i was askin because i had seen a previous build of him. Doesnt matter now though. Hope you enjoy him. Def a fun addition
