Getting a Wii and Brawl just for Project M. Quick question

[Treilah2]

When I get Project M installed, does it come with all of the characters and music [for example, the choices in Calabrel's topic] or will I have to unlock them first?

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

All characters and music will already be unlocked.

 

[DrinkingFood]

Excepting of course, those who haven't been released yet, which you'll have to wait for in coming demos.

Does Project M really just unlock everything? Cuz I'm pretty sure music doesn't. I have all the music unlocked on mine, but my buddy does not, and it limits how many music slots he has available for his custom music.

 

[TreK]

It shares the same file, only locked characters are still displayed on the roster.

I installed PM yesterday, and played a couple CPUs, and I've had a couple character unlocks. They've been unlocked on my brawl save lol

Edit : I'm on 2.5b, so it may have been changed. Silly me xD

 

[Treilah2]

Oh so the music itself has to be unlocked the normal way then? That's kind of lame.

I do have another question though. The way Calabrel has the music codes set up is that how it's set up for the stages themselves if I don't edit them?

 

[standardtoaster]

everything we unlock for you in pm does not touch your save file in any way

 

[Treilah2]

Oh, I always understood that. I was referring to the case of in Project M itself. I doubt I'll be going back to vanilla Brawl. I was wondering if the music, stages, and characters are open from the beginning in Project M and will continue to be.

 

[standardtoaster]

Yes they will continue to be unlocked for you in future releases

 

[Kati]

I thought recent demos unlocked every song slot, but I have no recollection as to where/when I learned that fact.

Anyways, you can always download cheatachu. You temporarily replace Pikachu's fighter.pac file, and then can get every cd in the game in one sitting.

 

[standardtoaster]

Project M unlocks every song for you already.

 

[Treilah2]

I do have another question. I got the SD card with Project M on it, got the Gecko OS running and it went to the Project M menu [where you can start it and it has other options] but when I went to that screen, my Wiimote no longer worked on it. Is the pre-loader a Gamecube controller only menu or did I do something wrong?

 

[Saxophoneoftime]

I think only certain Wiimotes work with it, but all GC controllers work.

 

[Vigilante]

The newest Wiimotes can't seem to work with Gecko OS, other than that, just using a Gamecube controller works magic.

 

[Treilah2]

While this topic is still up mind if I ask a quick game play question?

I got Gamecube controllers so running Gecko OS isn't an issue, what is, however, I can't for the life of me do wavedashes or dash dances with any reliability [particularly annoying because I could do both quite well in Melee] is there a new timing I have to learn? Is buffering by any chance making it more difficult, or am I just bad in general?

 

[Vigilante]

The timing should be the same. I know a lot of players do get confused by the new aesthetics. Keep playing, and you should get you timing back eventually. I actually got confused when I played Roy in Melee again after playing him in Project M for a little while despite them having the very same physics.

 

[HyperrCrow]

The timing is all the same. You're probably just not used to it yet.
