Have you all considered using the Pk freeze sound clip from Lucas's original Pk freeze for his new b over. (Because it drives me crazy that he doesn't say it :S)



Also I know this is very insignificant...

It'd be pretty annoying hearing him scream "PK FREEEZE" when the animation is less than a second.

We tried it and it sounded very obnoxious. His PK Freeze sound clip was created with a prolonged projectile animation in mind and it doesn't fit in with a shorter projectile shot.

Did you perhaps try cutting out the "PK" and having him just say "Freeze"? It also kind of bothers me that he's silent for the attack. Even a generic grunt or something would be better than nothing.

Silence is nice. Smash bros is filled with obnoxious squeaky things.

Why not splice something together? Cut the "PK" from when Lucus would say "PK Fire" and add a sped up "FREEEEZE" from when he said "PK Freeeeeze"

I'm just annoyed that they took out all of Lucas' attack yells except PK Thunder and Starstorm. Ness kept his because they didn't change any of his special moves, and I'm ok with him that way, but that means in normal play (as in no final smash) I keep hearing "PK Thunder! PK Thunder! PK Thunder!" over and over again.

Strong Bad (and the rest of PMBR), maybe this is a little too much to ask, but since I understand that implementing the PK Freeze yell would be annoying and/or hard to edit to sound right, could you maybe just take away the PK Thunder yell since Lucas is mostly silent already aside from that? Like you could replace it with one of Lucas' grunts or something. You guys are seriously doing a wonderful job with Project M, and you all have my thanks--but please, if you did this, I would be so happy! I mean you HAD to have noticed this while playtesting him, right?

...We only took away his "special move SFX" from like, two moves though. And he still has it for two (including his final smash.) Even if we had the ability to include an "PK Offense Up!" cry, I doubt we would, just because it would sound pretty ridiculous/long-winded

I think if we had a well-editing "PK Freeze!" clip, there's a chance we'd put that back in, too.

I guess I miscommunicated that I like the idea of Lucas having less attack yells. It fits his tragic past (he's shy, so he wouldn't yell out attack names), so I wouldn't necessarily like a goofy long-winded "PK Offense Up" yell.

That said, if you DO end up having a nice sounding PK Freeze sound file for his side-B, I'd like it. It's just that Lucas felt somewhat unfinished by not having either all or none of his normal attack yells. Whatever you guys do I'm sure it'll be great knowing that you do know about this, at least.

Plz get one magically :3 as I'd love to hear him yell it when zoning.

Actually yeah - Lucas being quiet and Ness being loud fits their personalities. Ness always was more outgoing. : D

How ironic then it is that Lucas sounds more fluent with English than Ness is, considering the settings of their games and where they were released on.

It's almost perfect, but perhaps the middle could be crossfaded instead of sped up like that. Maybe a real audio engineering expert could jump in and try auto-tuning it to remove the little pitch jump in the middle.

I'm kind of accustomed to the silence, but I think if the sound effect could be polished it would be more professional to include it.

PK Plz no

And I mean in regards to the concept. The edit sounds better than I expected... But please don't ruin my shy introverted shota with aesthetics he doesn't need. I feel that at this point adding the audio would only give my mind something else to focus on mid-match. In my opinion it doesn't really do anything for him, and PK freeze/ice is used in succession more often than PK fire is with Ness. It'd get annoying quickly.

Edit: Hmm. I should note though that I'm not opposed entirely to him having /A/ sound clip, just not an obnoxious, "hey here's my move's name" archetype slapped on a currently-pleasant character sfx wise. Perhaps there's an unused, subtle "grunt" type of SFX in whichever sound bank you guys get extra clips from? Presumably er... whatever that big file for sfx is on Brawl's ISO.
