9kplus, how did you like Michael Jackson when you playtested him?

 

[9Kplus1]

He felt solid, but it would be nice if his shine were toned down a bit. Michel Jackson will certainly become one of the dominant forces in the P:M Ubers metagame.

 

[Strong Badam]

His Rain Dance moveset is just really strong

 

[Ecks]

Does he have a sex kick? I bet it'd be great against the likes of the mother boys and Tink.

And i never though smash would let me do this. Rejoice MJ vs Ness can finally happen.

We tried to edit his shine, but Michael just refuses to stop shining brightly. I do love the sparkle graphics on his F-tilt and F-air coupled with the "WHOO!" SFX.

I have stopped spreading misinformation. I was just trying to clarify what I meant in my post about bair and dair, since I clearly miscommunicated.

Apparently bair has been toned down considerably, though. I was totally unaware of that.

hey... you managed to get information out of the PMBR... well done=)...

That is one loud video.


That aside, the demo2 trailer has 6k views already! And I see there's a jpn version of it too. How come its title isn't in Japanese?

13 more days, people!

13 more days, people!

My friends and I are super Hyped Can't wait for the new changes, characters, and stages.

 

[Stunts]

I didn't see zss

Unconfirmed characters in the video:
Pit
Pikachu
Luigi
Peach

Whose the 5th?!

either ZSS or Ness
calling it!
...even though it's pretty obvious

So what actually affects the distance of a moonwalk?

 

[SUNG666]

I don't think I've ever checked this thread before, but it's awesome seeing people really into this and some who have been waiting eagerly since demo 1 O.O

IMO I think there are still a lot of general mechanics that need to be implemented/transferred which would change the game A LOT but it's cool to see a lot of support still.

As a playtester, I can comment on some little things but the most important changes are really making it into melee 2.0. I give the most credit to the people actually coding this beast, and I'm sure it takes way more effort and time than what I'm doing.

What kind of mechanics are you referring to? I know edge teching, momentum from airdodges on frame 1, and momentum on techs still need to be fixed, but what else is there?

 

[Strong Badam]

We have a really long list of stuff to do in the BR. You needn't concern yourself with what needs to be done, however.

 

[Archangel]

So what actually affects the distance of a moonwalk?

I'm guessing speed is a major factor considering sonic's moonwalk.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Then why does Link have a good one?

 

[Archangel]

Then why does Link have a good one?

No idea. he makes my logic fail.

 

[Strong Badam]

There are several attributes that determine a moonwalk's distance.
I summon Magus420 in Attack mode.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

IMO:
Make a Captain Falcon PSA
Remove all of his attacks
give him a Michael Jackson model/texture
give him properties that will ensure the longest moon-walk in the game
wreak havoc

 

[Magus420]

Dash initial velocity, dash acceleration A + dash acceleration B, and the initial dash animation length. Initial speed is how much you need to counteract before you start going backwards, acceleration is how fast you accelerate forward/back with stick input per frame, and the animation length determines how many frames you can accelerate back for before it ends.

 

[Archangel]

wow....he really summoned magus.

 

[Strong Badam]

Grim Tuesday ruined it though :/

 

[Grim Tuesday]

At least I don't smell like an ape

 

[Perfect Chaos]

Grim Tuesday ruined it though :/

That's because you activated Grim Tuesday's trap card.

But that's good to know. I never bothered to actually look up the details regarding moonwalking.

DDD v fox looks like one of the most dynamic and intense matchups available:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOd9CbmFfps&feature=relmfu

fox can 0-death DDD in so many ways, but 1 mistake and DDD will kill him

 

[MaxThunder]

lol DDD dashgrab looks so funny...

That sounds like just like Marth vs Fox.

 

[jalued]

That sounds like just like Marth vs Fox.

yeah, similar but maybe even more extreme cause DDD is so fat and his bair is stronger than marths. Will be good to watch/play

 

[Grim Tuesday]

It sounds like the majority of match-ups when played at high level, to be honest lol

 

[Strong Badam]

Not like
Peach vs. Samus

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I did say 'majority' and not 'all' for that very reason

 

[Archangel]

Well specifically Fox MU's seem to work that way. Fox puts everyone on the defensive with his 1 frame bull****....it's annoying. But really good players with pretty much every character will kill him if he slips up.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Falco and Falcon too cause they fast-fall.

Sheik falls into so many combos because of her silly physics.

Ice Climbers and Doc cause they got poor aerial options and recoveries lol

Its not what I'd call uncommon

 

[Vigilante]

Playing spacies = living on the edge.

 

[MonkUnit]

DDD is really fun to play as and against.

Related to DDD, just a small clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWY_xRMw5k

 

[Fly_Amanita]

DDD vs. Fox doesn't feel very much like Marth vs. Fox to me. It's more like Ganon vs. Fox, although I think DDD fares considerably better against Fox than Melee Ganon did for reasons that I won't go into here right now.

Mario's mistake was trying to use the down-b.
