Monk's Snake is teh secks.

Also, crabtilt is a godlike name for that move. Behold Monk, master of naming.

Jiang was the one who named it crabtilt.

I want to get some vids of snake up soon, but I haven't played snake much in the last couple of months. And those options from crabtilt were against spacies, so idk how much of that is applicable to chars like cf, marth, or puff

Meta plays snake against me a fair bit, and he uses it as a..

"shield stab"

ba dum tsh

Lol, but jokes aside, he's actually used it to "jab reset" to get in a grab, and he's also used it into a dtilt, but that's all he's done.

Actually, now that I think about it, he actually has shield poked me with it a couple times.

Zard doesn't need buffs...he's a very good char, not a lot of people have realized that yet
Ah,, imo not really. He isn't a "very good" character at all. He's not terrible, but thats not saying much considering everyone in p:m isn't terrible. It's just that alot more characters **** him than he does **** others. Projectiles are super effective against him and he has a predictable recovery- Although I'll give him that his recoveries are pretty good in terms of distance and they have alot of priority (glair/up-b). Not to mention that charizards d-throw tech-chase is pretty good, and backthrow/ uthrow is a kill throw. It's mostly that his aerials, besides his uair are kinda slow despite being a very 'airbourne' character, he gets combo'd kinda easily and projectiles are the bane of his existence.

Some things that BC smashers have thrown around is that he would benefit from a faster nair animation and a bit faster bair. Also, make his glide speed a bit faster and a bit more options out of it other than just glair. (not as many options as pit's glide though, and not as fast as pit's glide either) I would say he should be able to at least jump out of his glide, but anyways, charizard mains will just have to deal with it for now.

I'm sorry but I don't keep up with this thread anymore. Whenever I play on Metal Cavern, it sometimes randomly freezes. Is this due to a know issue or could this be just a strange problem with my file?

Probably something to do with your files. Check it out, maybe a clean install will do the trick even though it's bothersome.

Do you have any textures on metal cavern?

This is just an idea but I really think that Project M needs its own section on the smashboards.com main page. I mean because seriously it will be its own game and will be more popular than Brawl+ Brawl - and likely even Melee. So its more worthy than any other Mod to be considered its own legitimate game and deserves respect as being one.

If not here I think Project M needs its own Project M Boards separate from Smashboards but linked to from smashboards. Maybe linked to from smashboards by this very thread itself at the very least. Just think about it though. All the mains of Charizard, Snake, Mario etc are forced to share a discussion space with all the other characters in Project M and heck they need to even share a conversation space with everything else Project M related. This is in my opinion turning into a clusterf*** disaster.

Its just far to unorganized I mean how can the game develop in such a trapped environment, people will have to search this threads for hours-days to see if a question on a character has already been answered and people will keep asking the same questions. You can't really discuss Project M characters on the Brawl Character specific boards either so we need a solution to this problem. Anyone who agrees with me and supports the idea spread it to people who are in charge of certain things on this site.

Not to mention that, ON TOP OF THAT, he has one of the slowest falling speeds, so his vital organ containing periscope is sticking over the ledge for even longer than it would otherwise be, and since he has an above average fast falling speed, it's hard to tap down to make him fast fall without holding down for too long and going past the edge.
TL:DR: Just don't recover with charizard. Just b-reversal his command glide and fly out of the blast zones to save yourself the mental strain. Oh wait, you can't even reverse his down-b...
B-reverse neutral b and fly out, fool:awesome:...

On the topic of B-reversals, is it possible to B-reverse Wario's side+B? I can do it with Ike's QD, but I've never gotten it to work with Wario. It'd be extremely useful for using the side+B outside of dashdance range, so I'm curious why it seems like the PMBR denied Wario this option.

You can't, I've tested it. It's too bad, because if anybody needs a subtle buff that would also make sense given the general function of the game, it's Wario.

I've made it quite clear that unless someone wants to drive 12 hours out of their way I'm not going to any scene in the next ahdunnuh, 3 and a half years while I'm in college.

At the same time, I don't even have to play Project M to to observe that Wolf, as it stands, is low in the metagame. Same thing with Ness. If I was going off how I felt about the characters, Ness would be like #3, but that's not where my character impressions come from. Ness is pretty terrible in the meta for the time being; it doesn't matter how I personally feel about the characters, and it shouldn't because my experience with the game on hand is not the meta of it.

But then the metagame is early. All you ****ers talking about Wolf being #6, get to work. All I can do is observe. I'm like Al here, ****.

Also morning gents.

Good morning to you as well.

So I have an odd story. You guys probably won't see the point until I get to the end, and I'm so forever alone I figured I'd share it with you guys. But there is a reason that I would share it on smashboards which you'll see at the end.

So last night I had a dream. But it was a nightmare, one that has recurred from my childhood but I haven't had in years. I'm sure some of you are familiar with that kind of dream, the ones that terrify you no matter how ridiculous. It consists of a creature reminiscent of Jeepers Creepers but rather than being a bat-human thing, it's a scorpion human thing, which poisons you with its tail and waits for you to die, then sheds its skin and replaces it with yours. So in typical dream logic we went to bed, even after it had killed one person in the my house (it went to hide in the air conditioning vents). We slept in pairs for "safety" and me and my partner, who I know is my friend but whose name I can't figure out, for some reason shared a bed so we could spread a blanket flat over us and make it look like there was nobody there (again, dream logic). After two hours (in dream time) of sitting there, my partner started to go insane from the tension and started screaming rhymes daring the creature to come kill us. I tried to shut him up, but it was too late at that point- the thing found us, threw him off of me (my dream, so of course it's after me) and stabbed me with its tail. Before it had retreated to wait for me to die, it saw me trying to squeeze the wound to get the poison out, like you would get the pus out of a pimple. He turned and responded to me simply, again in adherence with dream logic, "It's Melee poison, you'll never get it out," then laughed and fled.
My dream ended before I died.
Brawl fanboys, eat your heart out.

Well I just seen the Nyko controller for the wii:U I will probably end up buying that. http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Nyko-Pro.jpg.

But back on topic... I think wolf is good. and I agree with both Jc and NeoZ comments.
I'd SOOOOOO get that one rather than the 360 palette swap.

With regards to the "Wolf is good" discussion, I'm surprised no one has brought up Professor Pro winning many PM tournaments in the UK with Wolf. Part of it can be that people are experimenting with Brawl newcomers instead of their Melee mains (the top three from their most recent tournament, SR4, was Wolf, Ike, and Wario, in that order) and that Professor Pro is very good (he placed 2nd in Melee), but I seriously doubt that Wolf is a bad character.

Also, I think Charizard has some glaring weaknesses, but he's extremely fun to play and isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be.

Lastly, I just wanted to give the heads-up that I'm going to another PM tournament this weekend. Expect more Ike and more videos! We'll have more setups this time around, so not all the bracket matches will get recorded. However, I'll try to ensure that matches towards the end of the bracket get recorded.

@DrinkingFood: I saw your edit and was just going to ask why Charizard needed subtle nerfs :p. I agree with you though; I know we're supposed to play like the characters are final, but I think he needs a bigger ledge grab box.
The Meleefied Brawl newcomers are what as of now and in my judgement, dominates the P:M scene. People eager to see, discover, and dominate their playstyles while trying to find out anything no one knows about, just how the Melee metagame evolved with certain characters (IMHO).

About Charizard though, a bigger ledge grab box would do very nicely.

I've made it quite clear that unless someone wants to drive 12 hours out of their way I'm not going to any scene in the next ahdunnuh, 3 and a half years while I'm in college.

Yeah, Wolf and Ness' metagame hasn't been developed very consistently. And no, how you feel about a character should not determine how you play with that character.

Good morning to you as well.

Melee poison? Really? Brawl is the poison, and at most, Melee would be an antidote XD

Well what understood of it (and looking to dreams for advice is foreign to me) is that Melee would be a poison because our obsession with it is causing stagnation in the competitive smash world and preventing progress that could come of being more accepting of new smash games.
I don't feel that way though, and I most certainly do not believe it's true. The fact that melee inspired Project M (which is the epitome of progress) is clearly refutation of that. But it's what I expected the "hardcore" brawl fans to get out of it, regardless of whether or not it's right.

You likely need to perform a My Music reset on your Mushroomy Kingdom, sir.

I wish my dreams were that awesome. The best I have is Moses standing on a mountain of coal while lightning strikes him.

On topic though, is it just me or does Pit destroy Ganondorf (well, destroy isn't the right word, but it appears he has a solid advantage in the matchup)? It seems like most of my usual tricks with him (mainly comboing out of dThrow and Flame Choke) are utterly ineffective against him and that Pit can DI out of most of his aerials due to his incredible floatiness. It's probably just my own ineptness causing this though, so what exactly can I do to counter Pit's floatiness?

@kingfunk it looked like to me he was approaching you with Z. Hence forward B and forward with Z look exactly the same but one grabs where the other hits. Yes delfino is pretty funny.

Pikachu vs Snake is an sucky matchup.. especially when the pka player is chudat T_T... Has anyone else played that matchup yet?
I played Chu in that matchup just a few weeks ago. I can't remember exactly how it went but I'm pretty sure I won. Can't check at the moment but the videos are on my youtube.

At the same time, I don't even have to play Project M to to observe that Wolf, as it stands, is low in the metagame. Same thing with Ness. If I was going off how I felt about the characters, Ness would be like #3, but that's not where my character impressions come from.

What exactly are you basing your observations on? Theorycrafting? Wifi friendlies? Because if you go by tournament data, Wolf and Ness are 2 of a handful of characters who have tourney wins under their belts. Wolf's win was particularly impressive.

I streamed 9 hours of Project M yesterday.

http://www.twitch.tv/kingfunk/b/320730973 -> Can someone explain me this? My friend did it by accident and I'm not sure how.

http://www.twitch.tv/kingfunk/b/320730330 -> Delfino is hilarious
That isn't a side-b canceled into a grab; that's wario's dash-grab. It's designed to LOOK like he's using his side-b, so that it'll trick people into sheilding, where wario takes advantage and grabs them. Wario's designed to be a tricky sonofabetch, so thats why he has that, among many other moves that make him deceptive.

edit:
Also, I agree with JC.

Wolf is NOT anywhere close to being "low" in the metagame. In fact, I'd go so far as to place him top5- in which toonlink is far from, seeing as no toonlink has even come close to winning a tournament yet.
