Wtf Mario's fireballs do 8 damage? Why
It's almost as if they didn't control godly amounts of space and link into Mario's kill moves on hit
Surely there are ways to make the plumber good that don't ask so much outta the fireballs?

No because PMBR Bias / Illuminati says that some chars get super projectiles / armor while others are Jigglypuff because melee

I've got some bad news NWRL...
"We have a lot of stuff planned here in the future. Most people will like it, some won't. Some will complain very, very loudly. The game will be better in the long run, but we need the ability to buckle-down and do our own stuff right now."

Diddy nerfs? Yeah, probably. Unfortunately there will be an angry mob with pitchforks if the spacies were nerfed any further.

The spacies are in an OK spot actually. After some extensive play I dont feel they should be directly nerfed, but more "polished" as they can do just "dumb" stuff and "dumb" stuff happens to them, its kinda weird.

Diddy isn't too bad, it's just his Kill Power is like better than DK's lol, just turn that down a notch.

Mario and Link need their projectiles looked at as even though they can be played around and beaten.. it's justs till kinda ridiculous.

^ I swear the PM nerfs and the PAL nerfs are enough to make them perfect, but that's too much for many people.

PAL nerfs to falco aren't just subtle nerfs tho. They drastically affect his combo tree. Unlike fox who just loses kill power

The problem is you get people freaking out about whatever we're pondering, and it puts us in a weird position where we're basically needing to draft PR statements and debate repeatedly over things we're still experimenting with and whatnot. It can actually detract a lot from development time, not to mention turn people off prematurely based on what they see vs. how it actually plays. Extensive debate can also be extremely tiring/draining, and honestly sucks a lot of time for morale. Morale for us basically = productivity. We already have plenty of debate amongst ourselves, trust me.

Talking openly about future balance/design tweaks also discourages people from making the best of the game as it is, as people will just be waiting for whatever's around the corner.

We have a lot of stuff planned here in the future. Most people will like it, some won't. Some will complain very, very loudly. The game will be better in the long run, but we need the ability to buckle-down and do our own stuff right now.

3.02 Should speak for itself anyways. You wanna know what's coming up in the future? A better Project M. :alakadoof:

Plus numerous PMBR members are around on Smashboards, and even out there in the tournament scene. We're generally available, even if we're fairly busy.

You could post pictures with incredibly cryptic captions though!

That'd satisfy me, and keep me coming back to the PM site more frequently.

My next update predictions (I don't agree or disagree with these, just observations and predictions based off of my experience with fighting games and yearly updates)
Ganon buffs
Nerfs to MK, Lucas, Diddy and all three spacies
Norfair changes to make it less buggy and viable in a tournament settings
No chuckling
Gannon buffs would be cool.

Because of this, I had a dream that the PMBR had just released the new build for Project M. They added quite a bit, but the only thing I remember was that they reduced fireball damage to 1%.

If you're not hyped to simply play the game as-is, you're probably not in it for the long haul. People who are always looking to the next new shiny thing aren't our target audience, sorry.

Project M Ivysaur is officially Female, she is referred to as a female on our website.

Pretty sure Ivy is called female in Brawl, too. I think on the trophy or something.

I got a chance to talk with Vanguard and he mentioned secrecy and transparency in development. Apparently the majority of the dev team likes working in complete secrecy then pushing massive updates to the shock of the entire player base. He personally said he's in the minority fighting for transparency, but the internal hype train apparently gets derailed when the community is scrutinizing every move before it is made. They just prefer the old adage, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission". I played an early version of the next update, and your minds will all melt with the hype. It'll take two wriststraps.
