Do you guys have an overview of Lucario in mind? You see, he's...um...different now. I would like to know how to use him.

Well... downsmash is amazing now. I try to cancel into it whenever the opportunity arises. Things like jab-jab-ftilt-downsmash can be amazing. Otherwise I haven't been playing him too differently than before, just spacing in certain situations is different.

 

[Mr.Pickle]

Except his dthrow IASA is later now, so not exactly...

I was talking about his grab, not his throws. In 2.1 his grab was negatively disjointed because of a hurt boxes right in front of his face that went past his grab box, and now it doesn't. I can't check for sure cause brawl box just crashed when I tried.

 

[bubbaking]

Everything is shieldgrabbable now.

#Exaggerations

Use it when someone misses a tech

You can also use it to chase actual techs. Just don't miss the timing of the skid.

Edit: The top was about Luke, not Zard.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

Yea, with Lucario I haven't really had to do a whole lot different. Just have to space DA better, and now dsmash is the ****.

To be fair tho, I havent' been playing much Lucario so far. He was the second char I tried out (after squirtle) to make sure he wasn't jank. When I realized he was totally fine, I started picking all the new chars to try them out. Then I remembered that Wario got reworked, and I've been playing him since. He's fuggin awesome now, and I didn't like his playstyle in Brawl much at all. Definitely gonna work on getting good with him.

EDIT: I can't say t i t s?

 

[BobbyTheBrokeMonarch]

Lucario's new Up Smash animation is pretty cool
Aurayuken!
Reminds me of Ken's shoryuken from Street Fighter only instead of flames there is aura

this so much this. dsmash is so great now, whereas it was just almost unusable in 2.1. it's probably his best ground finisher, next to ex-fp. i like how his smashes each have a solid niche now, with fsmash being a solid spacing tool/finisher, but slower; dsmash being a faster finisher; and usmash being the solid combo extender/vertical kill move.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

Yea, basically Lucario doesn't have any wasted moves.

Am I the only one who thinks squirtles watergun is garbage

Am I the only one who thinks squirtles watergun is garbage

I think it's kinda garbage, but I have to admit i don't love Squirtle overall as much as I want to. I love all the cool stuff he can do, but i just can't get into a groove with him. I suck at shellshifting, I SD with withdraw at least once every match, and I've only got like, one decent combo down with him. I really thought Squirtle was gonna be what I was excited for in this demo, but Wario, and to a lesser extent Ivy, ended up being what I was happiest about. I think I'm gonna go play some Ivy now, actually.

 

[rjgbadger]

what are the changes for wolf? after knockback stacking/frame delay ive realised that he is my main, even moreso than 2.1 build

 

[bubbaking]

Squirtle's Water Gun is amazing, IMO. It stuffs approaches, it can gimp, and it's a great mobility buff (B-reverse and WB/RBR), especially since the charge can be cancelled so he doesn't have to commit to shooting it.

Edit: Man, 9Kplus1, if you read this, it looks like I was right. Just like Samus, the two new PT pokes seem to be 'acquired tastes'. I just love 'em, but everyone else doesn't seem to be so hot for them.

 

[TeiunBomb]

Why does Synthesis have a hitbox?

I guess that what happens when you have a fighting game with so many diverse styles to choose from. At least it can be almost guaranteed that a character's playstyle will be up someone's alley.

 

[BobbyTheBrokeMonarch]

I'm enjoying Ivysaur myself
Neutral Air is my favorite to approach with
As for changes to Wolf a noticeable one is his Up B
A much needed (slight) buff
He can actually fall left or right slightly after going straight up with it

 

[standardtoaster]

Synthesis doesn't have a hitbox, TeiunBomb.

 

[TeiunBomb]

Really? Because there have been times where Ivysaur has run right into me while starting up the move, and my character flinches from it.

Edit: Just tested it, and yeah it does, right on startup. Deals four percent damage.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

^Same has happened to me as well on numerous occasions.

Nothing gamebreaking, though.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

Ivy is extremely good. I still haven't gotten the hang of how to set up Solar Beam for those early kills, but in general I love the way she plays. Uthrow to downB is really easy, even if it's not guaranteed, and edgeguarding with downB, ala pika's thunder, is pretty sweet too.

 

[Krystedez]

Where do you live?

I live in Indianapolis, IN. But I go to school in Purdue. Purdue Crew is mostly all about melee but they also like P:M, so Im gunna try to convince them to keep playing it. No one in my area around Indy plays brawl much anymore.

I've read lots of people saying that they had friends no longer interested in Smash who were then back into it after playing P:M.

Just saying, maybe you should try to get them to play it with you if you sell it right.

Yeah I believe in that, I'll keep tryin to find people to play with besides in purdue.

 

[standardtoaster]

Oh, didn't notice it actually had one. My mistake.

 

[Stunts]

So... when can we talk about Ness' secret taunt?

 

[Mr.Pickle]

So I don't know if its been mentioned in this thread yet, but I'd suggest that you guys mess with ganon's warlock and falcon's falcon punch....you might be surprised.

 

[bubbaking]

I'm pretty sure it's been brought up several times.

How do do I perform the Wesker taunt?

#Shades

 

[Smooth Criminal]

o.o

Young Link's up-taunt actually pushes an opponent away if they're close enough.

Lmao.

This is freaking amazing. There are all sorts of little gems scattered around in this demo.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Sterowent]

i love so much about 2.5, and so many things have been improved or given to wario. however...that run animation. why change it? the run had such character. i can understand the slow walk, and while i don't completely like it i do like the concept.

but, why change the run when it was so iconic, so quirky?

 

[Archangel]

Someone make a how to video for Squirtle. I keep going into a shell and then dying...I can't get that to function.

 

[Internalyzed]

Name of Metal Mario's stage

I'm loving :squirtlebrawl:'s moveset, especially its Withdraw-->Waterfall combo, which I have yet to perform without SD'ing.

Something that came to my attention was that the Metal Mario stage from SSB64 was named "Metal Cavern" on the SSS. The "official" name is "Meta Crystal", as evidenced by the translation of メタ・クリスタル from the Japanese website for SSB64 and the name of the track in the Super Smash Bros. OST.

This is a minor issue, but as "Meta Crystal" sounds much cooler than "Metal Cavern" IMO, would it be too much to ask for it to be changed in the next release of Project M?

 

[Smooth Criminal]

...

Why? "Meta Crystal" sounds more like an object than a place.

Smooth Criminal

 

[bubbaking]

A lot of people know the stage as Metal Cavern though. I'm not sure, but I think a very similar area in SM64 was called Metal Cavern. It's really not a big deal, though.

Someone make a how to video for Squirtle. I keep going into a shell and then dying...I can't get that to function.

You can cancel the shell with B, so use that to keep from SDIng. You will ALWAYS be able to DJ after the cancel from a sideB that at least touched the ground because it can only jump once from the ground. It can't DJ.

 

[BobbyTheBrokeMonarch]

So I don't know if its been mentioned in this thread yet, but I'd suggest that you guys mess with ganon's warlock and falcon's falcon punch....you might be surprised.

I actually imagined myself as C. Falcon and chased someone (a lv9 com Sheik) with Ganon off the cliff and actually landed his warlock punch
It was frigging epic :D

 

[CORY]

no way, man. i have too much metal music on that stage for them to go and change its name now.

 

[bubbaking]

Meta = Metal, right? So does it matter?

 

[Internalyzed]

A lot of people know the stage as Metal Cavern though. I'm not sure, but I think a very similar area in SM64 was called Metal Cavern. It's really not a big deal, though.

Yeah, it isn't a big deal. I actually edited my own SSS so it reads "Meta Crystal". That said, Project M has paid homage to the original series canon e.g. changing Ike's Eruption to release blue flames because of FE: Radiant Dawn. I just feel that this change would be more in line with the project's aims.

 

[BobbyTheBrokeMonarch]

So... when can we talk about Ness' secret taunt?

Can't be that secret
A com did it against me lol

 

[Vkrm]

So why can't more people sign up for PM at apex? Time constraints?

 

[Kink-Link5]

Coming soon to a Bunni Songlist near you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va31JGXUmkg

and maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4RXhxHx3RQ

 

[BobbyTheBrokeMonarch]

So why can't more people sign up for PM at apex? Time constraints?

I hear they're just letting the best of the best test out the demo
That way we can see some high level play and the PMBR can get some good feed back
Although they won't be able to stream it live for us

 

[Juushichi]

Yeah, it's a top-16 invitational using 2.1 tournaments and stuff.

That being said, there is apparently going to be a booth for it and if there is a free-play room like there was last year, I would imagine that tons of people would be ready to play at the drop of a hat.

I know I will, be. Get your MMs in at APEX, people.

Krystedez, come to RAIN. I'm hosting a PM tournament then. Otherwise, I think if Chicago is even remotely feasible for you, you should definitely go and play with those guys.

 

[Kink-Link5]

Oh wait that's the wrong Go Mario go lmao.

Meant this one.

Hmm hmm, anyone have ideas for where to put Asian-styled songs? Saffron City is the only place that stands out as distinctly Japanese to me, and I have it full of Miror B. stuff already.

 

[Tlock]

Why was the code to allow custom stages removed for 2.5? It was not in 2.0 then got added in 2.1 and back to not being in for 2.5.
