Loving v2.5!

It's a little weird trying to shake off the Brawl-playstyle of the new additions, but I'm liking what has been done. And it feels (nearly) exactly as Melee.

Only problems I've ran into are:
1) Can't wavedash-OoS when holding shield down all the way [I shield with R, and wavedash with L]
2) When striking stages on the stage select screen, when you go to the second page after having a stage striked on the first page the strike gets erased.

For wavedashing, you must be sure to release R before pressing L. Brawl does not detect specific buttons, and instead reads the command assigned to them. This essentially means that L and R (two buttons with shield input) are read as a single button, and both must be released before new input is accepted.

1) We're very aware! For now, you can light press one shoulder button and full press the other to get the desired effect.

2) Also aware of it, we'll address it in the future. Just try not to go to that second page when you're stage striking as page 2 doesn't allow stage striking.

Hope that helps!

I love everything about Ness' new down b. Especially the little "hovering" thing it does when you have momentum after a jump.

Made a new tour for Skyloft for 2.5.

I loaded 2.5 through riivolution but it seems like the whole game is in slow motion. Slow by only a bit it's barley noticeable. Is riivolution known for this? Or do different USB drives read more slowly.

Sorry pickle I didn't realize your account was still logged in...

The music also lags really bad.

I use Riivolution and I know what you are talking about. I have a crappy thumbdrive that I run the game on (all my SD cards are too big otherwise I'd be using Gecko). I compared my loading times to my friends and it wasn't even close. He near instantly loaded through Gecko, and I was taking anywhere from 5-13 seconds just to load a stage. Menu and character music will "skip" or stop playing for a good stretch like 5 seconds and then keep going. However, actual gameplay should not be affected besides maybe Zelda transformation loading. I've not had any gameplay problems, loading some stuff has been slow though.

EDIT: Also I can't for the life of me get diddy's boom box or squirtle's glasses as a victory pose to show up. Like 10 straight games with them and nothing lol.

you know you can choose victory pose right?

press b x y or a dpad direction when the green GAME text comes at the end of the round

 

[Gust14]

P:M 2.5 at eventhubs/. And there is very little hate too, Im amazed. Also thanks for the hard work, 2.5 looks supah fun

 

[Hylian]

All of the newcomers save ivy feel worse than their brawl counterparts to me :/. Not being able to pick up banansd with dash attack kills momentum and options diddy used to have for example >_>.

 

[DMG]

Can you still pick up a grounded one by doing a SH aerial/grabbing it as you leap? If you can still do that, then that will be your way.

 

[Revven]

Press Z during Diddy's dash attack. You can also wavedash to pick them up.

 

[DMG]

^^^^

I don't understand, but I gusta. I gusta.

you can pick up bananas with DA tho. You just have to hit Z as Diddy's hand touches the ground over the banana. It's an extra input, is all. Diddy is actually the only one who can do that.

Can also wavedash over them for auto pickup.

EDIT: wow, was answered like, half an hour ago already

 

[ClinkStryphart]

From what I have played so far from what I could test out. Considering no1 is over here to play. I for one am loving every little thing about 2.5. From the stage layouts to characters. Love Ivysaur such a fun character. Lucario is taking abit of time to adjust to. I really didn't see a difference with Ike other than his (Up B distance nerf). I like diddy but having a hard time with Kills at the moment. can anyone give advice for his kills?

I will have a couple friends over tomorrow to try 2.5

Man, I just got done with a five hour Project M binge, and i can truly say that you guys really outdone yourselves. My new favorite char is squirtle. His SideB is sooo good.

Spoiler

The download counter was stuck at 6 for a while, so you probably weren't the seventh downloader.

Did not know. Thanks for the heads up.

So has anyone figured out how to put on squirtle's shades or if its only a victory pose? I dont have a computer with me to look through the .pac

Only a victory pose, as far as I can tell. However, I don't think I've seen him do a victory pose where he wasn't wearing the shades. I saw him do several poses, all of them wearing shades.

 

[Translucent]

I've been told that the shades are put on by pressing b right after the backflip in his up taunt.

omfg must test

 

[iLink]

I havent gotten a single victory pose with the shades. I also remember the squirtle reveal trailer showed squirtle wearing the shades while on four side.

 

[Translucent]

Please tell me if it it true or not, I would be so happy if it worked.

 

[DMG]

try doing a taunt and pressing b with squirtle, you'll get the shades on for gameplay

 

[#HBC | Joker]

I could not get it to work :/ I tried pushing several different buttons during all his different taunts. Nothing :'(

 

[Translucent]

I just got it to work. I pressed B right as I landed the backflip from up taunt. IT'S AWESOME!!!

 

[Jack Kieser]

Wait, you can't pick up items with a dash anymore? I mean, without an extra input? Is that new to 2.5? What was the reason for adding an unnecessary button press to pick up items during a dash?

Because only Diddy can do it. It gives him greater banana control than any other character.

I also jsut got dem squirtle squad shades. You were right, hit B just as he lands. Epicness.

 

[Jack Kieser]

No, I mean, why make that change? Just to differentiate Diddy? I wasn't aware being able to pick up items from a dash really hurt gameplay any.

 

[Translucent]

Ask the PMBR. My guess would be so he has the most control over the bananas, because, you know. He's the one that pulls them out.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

I don't think it's that it hurts gameplay. It's that they wanted Diddy to have more options with the bananas than anyone else. Cuz they're his.

 

[DMG]

It was done to be Diddy specific. In Brawl, anyone could easily pick them up. For Diddy it's not as easy as Brawl, BUT now it's only he who can do it. No more Sonics or xyz characters easily getting them. It's a buff to help his gameplay since Bananas aren't as dominant and tripping like before

 

[Jack Kieser]

Is it a global change to all items, or does it only affect bananas that Diddy spawns? I'd try it myself, but I won't have a chance to play for a while still.

It's a global change. It applies to all items. Everybody else can still wavedash over an item to grab it though.

 

[MonkUnit]

All items.

 

[F. Blue]

Pressing Z during dash attack to pick up bananas doesn't work for me. Is the timing just really specific?

 

[MonkUnit]

when his hands pass over the item hit Z

 

[Shadic]

Pretty sure you couldn't grab them with dash attacks in 2.1 either.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

Pretty sure you couldn't grab them with dash attacks in 2.1 either.

There were no Diddy's throwing bananas around in 2.1, so it's hard to remember

Rob gyros have those nasty hitboxes out if they're spinning, peach turnips very rarely end up on the ground without just dissapearing, and if you tried to pick up bombs left around by the links with DA, then you're not very smart
