the only thing that could make APEX MORE HYPE is if Nintendo shows off a Mewtwo trailer OR a brand new character trailer....drooool

I mean a great game that Nintendo didn't support and push like other popular fighting games.

Soo many new Challenger are aproaching.
Yet people still complain that Smash is not a real fighting game, Apex is Dominated by Smash bros. Only Street fighters is the only and always be everyone favorite Fighting game but Smash bros. is getting so much love, I soo proud of it.
Project M is gone is OK for me but Nintendo Sponsoring Apex is beyond Godly move for Nintendo.

Maybe use PAL Fox in there and then buff the non-top tiers for a bit.
Then get Brawl and Smash4 characters in the mix - using Melee engine.
Then remove all stage hazards, remove all items.
Call it Smash FG.
Then we'll topple SF as the top FG. Weeeeeeeee.

That'd be funny if it only got to 999 entrants.

"Coin battles have been put on as the default mode for gameplay, and we removed Marth's tipper to make the character more user friendly. We would also like to announce Goomba from adventure mode as a playable character. Please understand."
This is actually a pretty sweet idea, but I'd avoid too many balances, PAL Fox being the only one that I think would be necessary. With only slight buffs to low tier characters, then they wait for player feedback.
When it comes to playable characters, I think they should be very careful with who they choose, I think Meta Knight and Ike would fit the scene extremely well, as well as Lucas and Wolf so there's a reason to get both Sm4sh and Smash FG. Slow paced characters and campy characters should be avoided, and the fast paced and combo heavy characters should be cherry picked from Sm4sh's roster.

I think you're right. We don't need a lot of balance changes. a just little buff to the low tiered chars to be viable, and PAL Fox. When it comes with characters, I don't think anything's going to be too disruptive. as long as it is using Melee's engine, then I think it'll be ok.

And people who said Smash 4 was hurting melee, where you at?

Your [/quote] is a little weird.
Besides, you say it like he'd be the only one to lose some of his gameplay without those ATs

Funny you say elitists hate it, because almost everything melee players didn't like about PM was fixed in 3.5. Its almost like the PM backroom listened to the criticism and worked to improve the game. Oh yeah they did. Not everyone who criticizes something is an elitist.

Congrats to everybody that has registered for Apex 2015!
It'll be even crazier to see Apex 2016 try to top it all off again.

Im glad to hear how good this thing is going. My assumption is that there hasnt been any news regarding PM being able to be apart of apex since we heard it was cut. If Im wrong someone please correct me because id love to know.
On a somewhat similar note; considering the thoughts game theory had about Sakurai which may not be true but if it is then I have a thought. If Sakurai wants to pass the smash bros torch onto someone else then why not have the PM dev team hired by nintendo to continue the smash bros legacy. Its clear that the dev team is dedicated to making it a great game (though im not sure if they want all the work that comes with working at nintendo). If that happened then PM could be more easily accepted by nintendo as well or possibly nintendo could take on the PM dev team as well as PM itself which would make it cost money, unfortuneately. (I know that many people would be unhappy with PM costing money but it would also give PM a bigger chance at tournaments and I personally think the PM dev team deserves money for how much work and and thought went into that beautiful game.)
Just felt I should share that thought, maybe someone agrees with me and possibly (though doubtfully) a large amount of the community does and we could actually use that to make a bonding connection between the competitive community and nintendo so that we dont have as many issues in the future.

Seriously though, I did read it (because I got nothing to do at 1AM, apparently ^_^), and yeah, PM Dev Team taking the torch would be amazing.

Sounds like a surefire way of completely destroying a highly profitable franchise.

Hype is to come. This will be great, and I hope to see some great matches. Melee is the best smash game. Hope it never dies.

I generally agree that Melee is definitely doing well as it is. But a man can dream...
However, I know you said I can just hit up friends to play with me, but almost no one I know is actually willing to learn ATs with me. I definitely wouldn't underestimate the positive aspects of having a good online mode for Melee.
Chances are, it could end up causing the average skill level of players to rise up, which is a good thing right?
Also, I'd say Project M has surpassed its own vision of trying to re-create Melee (with Brawl characters included) and has essentially become its own game with the addition of move-set edits, many more match-ups a person would have to study about, along with the addition of newer ATs such as RAR, DACUS, etc.
My theory is that Melee Elitists just tend to dislike it because it isn't Melee. Their mindset is something like, "If it ain't Melee = Nope." They wouldn't be called Elitists otherwise.
Of course, there are other reasons such as not wanting to learn new match-ups, and the general controls feeling "different" somehow, especially if they're using the same main they had in Melee.
In the end, I feel like PM is probably closest to achieving a good balance among the roster. Along with SD Remix, which seriously could use more love.
Still waiting for that SD Remix and 20XX marriage to happen.

SD Remix is underrated so much.
Melee has Wall grapple and light shielding. also, there is pride in playing a low tier.

The thought of seeing SD Remix featured at Apex or any other major tournament makes me want to cry tears of joy.
Of course, the chances of that actually happening are...
