P:M seems like if it were to be complete, nobody would have a reason to play Melee, honestly.
Fixed that for you. It's more a better Melee than it is a better Brawl.

That said, if a person is still playing Brawl competitively at this point, there's something about the engine that they really like (weirdos), and PM is taking a lot of that stuff out, for better or worse.

yeah i like the slower pace of brawl and that (not) hit stun.
and its not just because i have sour grapes about not having good tech skill either lul


does anyone in this thread watch WWE? i feel like ive asked before but the road to Wrestlemania is getting ready to start and im pretty hype about that.

Good stuff on 1st reflex. Did ya'll play the 2.5v of pm? Im surprised more people didn't enter. I like Melee and brawl so PM Is right there in the middle. My sub par tech skill tranfers over nicely in PM to. I just cant play brawl as much like I used to(at all) cause it can get boring reall quick haha.

Also I haven't watched WWE since WWF haha. Just cant get into it anymore.
UFC is cool though.

It was Demo 2.5, yeah. It was restricted to a 16-man invitational bracket because Alex Strife wouldn't allow us to run a real tournament.

brawl and P:M are just two different games.
melee and P:M are two different games too. but to a lesser extent. Melee is still a little bit faster paced than P:M, and then of course it has a couple of characters that P:M doesn't/won't)
its less like MVC3 vs UMVC3 and more sort of like SF2 vs SF3. the old game isn't obsolete just because someone has updated it.

but comparing brawl to P:M is like apples and oranges.

That analogy isn't quite accurate. It's honestly probably more like this:

ST:3S:AE::Melee:Brawl:pM

It's still not a perfect analogy, but that's probably more in line with how it actually is. But in 3S, there are still redeemable qualities, whereas Brawl I just can't.

i hope P:M is a big hit because it's going to be the competitive, nonstupid Smash game that Sakurai never wanted Smash to be

i'm interested to see what will come of Smash 4 though

I dunno its being made by a company that has made actual fighting games before so I dunno. plus maybe they will take the time to, like, playtest this one.
YO BRO I PLAYED THE GAME FOR I DUNNO 30 SECONDS AND I NOTICED THE SET KNOCKBACK FOR DDD'S DOWNTHROW ISN'T A GOOD IDEA

Come play PM with us this Saturday! It's getting just as much exposure as Brawl this time, and we can make it less expensive if it means more people will give it a shot. :)

well, then at least no one will complain every time i pick the character i want to use then. that'd be really nice for a change in all honesty.

Pikachu is the best parts of all three Smash games, mostly. I think he's good, but he's a character that has kind of an unorthodox playstyle.

The WiFi build of P:M allows you to turn on buffer up to 10 frames in order to make things come out as they're supposed to.

I think I'm going to main Charizard in PM. I admit wholeheartedly that Pikachu is good, but I don't like using him. A lot of stuff I loved from Brawl Pikachu is out the window in PM.

i couldnt go on the 26th either though, because i had a show. i guess i wasnt keeping my ear open because i had already had it on my mind that i couldnt go. next tournament i should be there though. with some more brawl lucario and jiggs PM practice under my sleeve too. ;)

I loooooove Project M. I think I'm getting to the point where I'd like to make it the focus of my events.

Also, I just hit 10k posts, because, apparently, this thread adds to our post count now. Crazy.

I dunno. The good characters offer stuff that's more than usable to a variety of players. For example, I play Wario and Ivysaur, and neither of those characters require much tech skill to be effective.

So it's me again. Here to do the same thing I do nearly every time this year.

http://kamicon.net/

Kami-con is coming up, February 15 - 17. Here's the shocker. IT'S NOT IN TUSCALOOSA THIS YEAR! It's all moved to the BJCC on account of logistics. Plus expansion. Logistical expansion. And they'll have Smash!

Yes, brawl only. It's an anime convention. Deal with it.

You should still go, if not for the video games, then for the animu and general good times. I might be there, I might now. Plane tickets are expensive.
