Project M Social Thread

[kaizo13]

are you gona explain what you ment?

don't need to since I already got an answer, but I will just for your amusement
I meant that ,to me, characters moving left and right in the air during these "charge" animations looks weird/unfitting to me

not sure why such a simple statement brought so much saltiness out of u guys

This made me laugh more than it should. Also this is the reason why we need a new demo. 25 days.

 

[Beorn4200]

One of you guys should apply. It sounds like the TN scene is an active place that would warmly accept Project M.

Yeh, there would be plenty of good players here to play and test with some nice character diversity.

Too bad they are all cool with just playing melee. If I bring PM over everyone will play it, and some will really enjoy it. The best players here probably wouldn't go though the effort to submit an application.

I would love to bring it down for everyone to on a regular basis, but I don't have the credentials or videos to get in the PMBR. I was in it for a few months doing art... but, that was a long while back.

I do agree that the TN scene seems to be pretty accepting and could give some good feed back... I would have to be a kind of liaison though to get it to them.. Since they are all good will strait melee. Unless I bring it.

who was playing with Jcaesar in his stream yesterday?

 

[standardtoaster]

The players were Jcaesar and Cmart.

 

[leelue]

last point

Somebody that wasn't me commented on symmetry? That's like my catchphrase.

Who was talking about symmetry?

 

[leelue]

Kaizo, talking about the inconsistent allowances given to characters who can charge a special midair.

 

[Shadic]

Going to be streaming in about an hour. I'll have WA's best should-be-ranked player: pandacheck/do-dirty.

 

[Strong Badam]

Symmetry is generally good for a competitive stage, because a positional advantage doesn't inherently reinforce itself as heavily (outside of vertical symmetry usually not existing). I'm just kind of ranting around here and not really representing the PMBR here btw; my stance on stage legality HEAVILY differs from the majority of the PMBR, perhaps mostly because of my MBR membership.

 

[Yoki]

Any news on footstools? Are they still mapped to Up Taunt, were they removed, or did you alter them in any way since the demo? I never saw a footstool happening in any stream or Youtube vid, is it because it's that terrible, or just unexplored territory?

I may not be the best competitive player, but it did seem to me like it could have some niche use, if only for a few characters. I mean, despite it's terrible range, footstooling is still a frame-1 spike cancelable by any action. I'm not sure how useful that would be in high-level play, but against grounded opponents, footstool to waveland gives you frame advantadge, especially against smaller characters.

As for character specifics, there's at least one that seems really useful : against grounded opponents, Ganon's footstool links perfectly into a ground-spiking dair.

 

[standardtoaster]

The mechanics for footstools have not changed at all. People don't really use them because it's not second nature for them. They would rather use a different option.

 

[FireBall Stars]

Footstools were removed from people's minds since we always forget that it's there.

 

[~TLK~]

Took me 1 month to press A+B at the same time to start playing twilight princess, I trained my muscle memory everyday to get the timming right

you actually did it?

 

[NeoZ]

Kaizo, talking about the inconsistent allowances given to characters who can charge a special midair.

So not really talking about symmetry, you're mixing up a couple of concepts.

I think I'm going to start playing Lucario again more often. I randomly picked him today after not playing him for months and did really well against somebody who generally gives my Pit and DDD a hard time. I don't particularly care for the character, but I get good results with him, so I might as well keep him in my pocket.

Playing multiple characters feels weird, though. I'm used to being a character purist, but I currently have about 6 characters I could see myself using in serious games. This is a good thing for playtesting, but probably bad for developing as a player. Dilemmas, dilemmas.

 

[King5280]

in a competitive setting if pm comes out super balanced, i could see counterpicking could be a lot prevalent than in melee.

Keep it up and soon you'll be able to main Random, the best character in the game. Random should get an actuall character picture i vote for this

It even has a question mark in it

 

[Kink-Link5]

I hope random gets you Lucas and Squirtle every time.

 

[phurgawtin]

I think the random button should work like melee, where once you drop your character-select coin onto the tile, it selects your random character immediately.

you can then go "ew, gross. i don't want to play against the cpu's kirby. it doesn't know what the hell it's doing" and hit random again, instead of having to wait to be in game.

 

[Kink-Link5]

I want Ragequitting to be like Melee. I hate how you have to wait to rage in Brawl.

Such a ****ty game.

Livestream goin' on. Watch me lose.

 

[Kink-Link5]

Way to lose Shadic, you should go back to pottery class.

 

[leelue]

I hear the techskill from applying glazes transfers cleanly into brawl.

Random already has a character icon:

 

[leelue]

How does random work in a tourney? If at all

 

[JCaesar]

I'd use it if my controller had more buttons.

 

[Kink-Link5]

What could possibly be assigning to the y button?

 

[Vigilante]

I would be trouble to me.

I use the X button 80% of the time
Y button 15%
Stick 5%

 

[CSDragon]

Jump of course.

People who use X are crazy.

 

[`dazrin]

I use all 3 jump buttons for different reasons; tap-jump for fullhop/ doublejump, Y for shorthop, and X for wavedashing and wavelanding.

problem, footstool?

 

[iLink]

I had jump set to Y and grab set to X for the longest time. Took a while to get used to me changing footstool to X.

 

[9Kplus1]

Zero Suit Samus should get a legitimate nipple spike

+1 support?

 

[standardtoaster]

You could set footstool to one of the dpads, I guess. You'd sacrifice a taunt though.

Which Side Taunt gives me invincibility? I'd rather replace that Taunt with Footstool.

 

[metroid1117]

Would it be possible to map footstooling to R but not L? I don't use R anyway since I'm a lefty, might as well give it a shot.

 

[standardtoaster]

Yeah, you can do that.

 

[MonkUnit]

@dpad, or, the taunt footstool code could be updated to be all of dpad and not just up. that way you can hit anywhere on the dpad to footstool. no loss of a taunt needed.

 

[Ecks]

I actually mapped footstool to the R trigger in the demo. I still didn't use it though. Like not even once. XD

R trigger is just too awkward for me. Which is kinda dumb because I use z all the time.

 

[drsusredfish]

i mapped my footstool/uptaunt to A+B
