My only notable problem with the physics is that Falco's SHL still feels weird since the timing is a bit different. Overall, PM feels great for most characters, of course.

Also, Fox's up-throw to up-air might be different since you're fighting characters with different sizes, falling speeds, et cetera.

anyone else finding that the webpage isnt loading correctly? The background doesnt load, and there are lots of white spaces

http://projectm.dantarion.com/

I'm using chrome btw, but if it's not just me I hope you get it fixed soon, it doesnt look very professional

 

[MaxThunder]

^^The site having a lot of traffic might cause things like that...

 

[9Kplus1]

I've been playing Melee competitively since 04 and P:M feels much better to me.

... because you have the option of turning off tap jump?

 

[XkaruX]

This one was a little bit hard to come up with, but I hope you enjoy!

I actually find it weird to play with tap jump off now. :o
I used to keep it off all the time in my Brawl days, but I actually based some of my Melee playstyle around using the control stick to jump, so now it feels weird when I have the tap jump off cuz I can't do some of my key stuff.

Just rambling, lol.

 

[MonkUnit]

Definitely not what I expected. I expected a lot more QD use, but those edge cancels make Ike crazy fast.

Not gonna lie, that's a big part of it haha

 

[XkaruX]

To be honest, as useful as QDs actually are in matches, it was really hard to link anything while keeping it a true combo and making it look cool.

 

[phurgawtin]

That came out better than I would have expected for an Ike TAS, tbh. Good job.

I'm looking forward to a Lucas TAS; would be sick with all those low DJC aerials.

OMG that was amazing. I loved the QD walljump -> double jump FAir at the end.

 

[Fernandez]

PAL release, when? =]

 

[Strong Badam]

It's problematic to work on a PAL version at the same time as an NTSC version, unfortunately, so we've put off a PAL release until after we're mostly done with the game. =(

 

[hotdogturtle]

Idea: On the P:M site, where it says

Homebrew Option ZIP (Full Set) April 16th
Homebrew Option ZIP (WiFi-Safe) April 16th
Riivolution Option ZIP (Full Set) April 16th
Riivolution Option ZIP (WiFi-Safe) April 16th
Hackless Wii ZIP (Full Set) April 16th
Hackless Wii ZIP (WiFi-Safe) April 16th

Put the hackless version above the homebrew version. That would probably help some people from accidentally downloading the wrong version.

I used to have tap jump off when i started playing brawl...

and then i found out about marth's awezome up-b oos... and i found out that having it on didn't affect me at all=)...

So no, Novi, since you are unable to judge the two games from a blank slate (that is to say, without the 10 years of melee to warp your definition of "better" and "smooth"), it is indeed you who has the glasses.
/QUOTE]

Well, I am wearing glasses, I think everybody is depending on the definition. By "glasses" in this case I meant the "hype, new cool thing" glasses where you are excited about things that are new.
Naturally, me and other Melee vets are comparing P:M in a way of Melee being the "golden" standard. Obviously it has everything to do with getting used of new things. That being said, as Falco400 said past in this thread there's still a long laundry list of things to do. P:M isn't a finished game.

The reason I like to play P:M is because there are so many new things and characters, but unfortunately none of my friends seem like it. It's partially because of locked mindset and close mindedness.

you could always try adding melee textures to the top tiers, just so they look the same. Alot of the "feel" is aesthetic, so if they look like melee they are more likely to play them.

There are plenty of really good textures on brawlbox (the bowser one seemed to cause freezing though, so i'd not bother with that one)

I still have to introduce my melee friends to PM, I hope they like it...

 

[leelue]

that is unfortunate
I suppose I'm lucky; all of my melee friends can't get enough.

 

[Comeback Kid]

So to add to the epicness of Project M, would you guys be open to adding new final smashes? I am of course talking about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzLyR1oSdwU&feature=relmfu

PM + badass final smashes = amazing.

 

[phurgawtin]

PM + balanced final smashes = more amazing

 

[`dazrin]

***** pleeeez.

Rather have them actually get the bugs out, core engine tweaks, and have them fill out the rest of the roster + MAYBE melee exclusives in pm rather than final smashes tbh lol

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

That was beautiful - I've only seen the one where Falcon runs on the track and Falcon Punches the screen instead of using his car.

 

[`dazrin]

This one was a little bit hard to come up with, but I hope you enjoy!
http://youtu.be/DKbv-Qt6csI

daaamn sick as always! make a toonlink or mario TAS! :D

 

[9Kplus1]

PMBR stickers and "Balloon Popper", as well as the return of Style mode, should be of the highest priority. Then again, I guess that some people actually want to take this party game seriously.

 

[phurgawtin]

***** pleeeez.

Oh, i wouldn't prioritize the possibility of final smashes before any of that, either.
Doesn't hurt to dream though, does it?

 

[Gimpyfish62]

all i know is that

if brawl came out and was this

the melee scene would be about the size of the 64 scene during the melee days



this game is amazing

sorry that it can sometimes remind you of the horror that was super smash bros brawl - but it really isn't that XD

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

PM + balanced final smashes = more amazing

I can handle this myself later in development, when I balance and/or Meleeify the items.

I'd be all on making new Final Smashes as long as they're cool, canon and within the realm of possibility. Cinematic Final Smashes wouldn't work amazingly well in Smash since they'd require time manipulation in most instances and you can't get those cool camera angles. Though you can abuse stuff like zooming and with the right graphics it can look pretty good.

I've always wanted to change Falcon's FS his real legendary attack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw

 

[Vro]

Ike is top tier

 

[Deleted member]

Ike is top tier

at what? getting grabbed when he lands?

 

[Ecks]

Not gonna lie, I would love to see meleefied items. Except the ray gun, beam sword and bumper. those should be 64.

 

[GP&B]

Not gonna lie, Melee sound effects seriously enhance the aesthetic feel of the game for things like Falcon's knee "THUMP" and he backhand "THACK".

That and without changing around sound effect ID codes in the moveset, Ike's DThrow makes the "THACK" sound when he stomps on them. Way too ****ing awesome. Also, sword hit effects (outside of Ike's club -err, sword) don't sound stupid.

 

[9Kplus1]

Yeah, Ike's vBrawl sword sounds suck ***

Ike for low tier sounds
Ike for low tier
Ike foreveralone tier

 

[leelue]

I can handle this myself later in development, when I balance and/or Meleeify the items.

This would actually be really cool

 

[foshio]

I tried to put the melee fox sfx and texture hack on my riivolution (standard) sd card and neither worked.. I have put textures on things before through the hackless method, is there something I have to do differently??

 

[ph00tbag]

I'd rather not see FSes unless they're activated through something that is not lame like a randomized item drop. And once that issue is dealt with, I'd rather see them a bit more balanced. FSes are a long way from being something I'd like to see in the game.

 

[GP&B]

Yeah, the Project M xml only specifically reads the designated files from its folders which is why putting textures in there like you would with the hackless/HBC method will not work with Riivolution (yet this method likes to read music from my old HBC method folder...). You don't want to put the brsar under brawlmods/projectm/music, but rather make a new folder under brawlmods named music and put it in there instead.

As a good word of advice in general for Riivolution users, if you want to add any custom content of any type that's not already read by the Project M xml option, you need to create the appropriate folder under just brawlmods instead of placing it where you normally would under pf/insertfoldernamehere.

It's pretty convenient though if you take your SD card to a tournament and need to load up through the Riiv method because you can disable everything except for Project M, leaving the barebones installation package.

 

[Ecks]

Melee sfx make Wolf feel so damn good too. Those sword sfx on his claws are so satisfying, it makes you feel like you're tearing **** up.

 

[kaizo13]

I definitely need me some melee sounds...but i've never really worked with riiv. Can someone link me to the sfx pack? I can figure out the rest

 

[GP&B]

Melee Hit SFX

This doesn't include swing sounds so Marth still sounds super dainty when he swings his sword, but this is overall the most complete package as it uses all of Melee's hit SFX even though there are still more Brawl SFX that this doesn't replace (notably the HRB's hits and Ike's sword). You'll need to download the most recent version of sawndz, but it should take you little to no time to figure out. It's very easy to use.

EDIT: There's no swing SFX yet. After using sawndz and seeing how simple it is to setup, I might try doing those myself sometime this weekend.
