you were ninja'd by posts made 10mins before yours?

 

[bubbaking]

Two things: your post was the last one I saw on the previous page (I didn't realize there was another page) and I was in the "Reply" section for a really long time while I chatted and did other things.

#Multitasking

 

[SinisterB]

Like growing ridiculous mustaches.

 

[`dazrin]

^ Lol

Too busy growing a mustache to post without getting ninja'd

 

[iLink]

I know a thing or two about growing ridiculous mustaches

 

[bubbaking]

Indeed.

So I'm putting a custom stage into my P:M 2.5b and I noticed that there's a .pac file for the Mario Circuit stage in there? Is there a reason for this? Was anything on that stage changed for P:M 2.5b?

Edit: Ftr, I just got ninja'd by two more people.

 

[SinisterB]

iLink has probably one of the most amazing mustaches in the world

real talk

 

[GHNeko]

bubbaking?? more like ninja'dking.

ahahahahahaha..hahaha...haha...ha...ha...

...guys?

 

[SinisterB]

go to bed Leelue

...

wait

nevermind that's exactly what i meant

 

[bubbaking]

So, how about that question guys? Are there any changes to Mario Circuit in P:M 2.5b? I'd check myself but I can't play my Wii right now.

I imagine there's a file there for the purposes of the custom SSS being able to access it?

There's files for every stage, whether it's different from Brawl or not, as far as I can tell.

Go ahead and put Bowser's Castle over it, you won't be missing out on anything

 

[bubbaking]

Oh, ok, that makes enough sense.

Yep, you got me, but you're also seeing my posts on like, two other threads.

Alright, time to try out this stage! (^_^)

 

[`dazrin]

Afaik, nothing was changed to Mario Kart Circuit in Demo 2.5b.

 

[MaxThunder]

It's probably camera changes...

 

[#HBC | Joker]

It's probably camera changes...

^^ that too, is a possibility. I imagine they tweaked all the cameras, so that would explain it.

 

[standardtoaster]

Yeah, the camera is changed on pretty much every stage, whether or not it's a new custom one.

 

[tackles]

i'm probably the only one to say this but i really prefered Pika's previous Nair sfx.... but oh well whatever.
One "problem" that i have with 2.5 is that Mario shouts when he jumps. Up until 2.1 he was silent but now he has to go "WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP" when he wavedashes, pretty annoying.

 

[bubbaking]

Both of those are Melee things. I agree that "because Melee" isn't exactly the best reasoning around, but at least these aren't gameplay design choices we're talking about. I also didn't mind Pika's and Mario's SFX as they were previously.

At 1 PM, the REAL Doomsday shall ensue! A whole 4.5 to 5 hours without SWF! How will we survive?!? Good thing Vanguard so conveniently planned a fest for today and tomorrow...

does that mean that Mario will stay like this?.. Is there any consideration that they will change it back?

 

[bubbaking]

^^^^More proof that the P:M community is NOT made up mostly of Melee players, not even in the slightest.

 

[MonkUnit]

Pikachu's old nair SFX was very loud and annoying, especially considering it is used frequently.

 

[batistabus]

Since the new sound was from Falco's sound bank, does that mean there was a break through there? I thought characters couldn't get sounds from each other.

 

[Oracle]

I'm pretty sure the problem is with getting sounds from outside sources (ie melee) and putting them in the game without riivolution.

 

[MonkUnit]

The sound effect is a general sound effect and not specific to falco.

 

[GunBlaze]

Tell me it was unused.

 

[GaretHax]

Uh if you play PM aren't you technically a melee player, it is melee's engine after all... Also why would it matter, who cares? Its a game recreating melee's engine and improving its gameplay and characters because brawl didn't live up to expectations held by most of the smash community. I have no problem playing against Brawl players or really with Brawl, I personally just don't like the game, however I love PM and Melee. But honestly even just given the basic premise of PM how can people enjoying and choosing to play on a melee-based engine not be melee players?

 

[Jolteon]

SinisterB your avatar is adorable ;>

 

[trash?]

We aren't playing melee, though. I'd suck at melee, because honestly, I haven't played melee in years. I am, however, an alright P:M player. This is melee 2.0, after all.

Someone should set up a stream, seeing how, starting from 1PM, we won't be able to do much until 4:30.

 

[standardtoaster]

Internet Explorer is going to be housing around 45 melee players over the next few days including a lot of top players. However, no one has arrived at his place yet. He'll probably start streaming once a few players get to his place. This will likely be during the time smashboards is down. Follow the Project M facebook page and twitter to see when IE starts streaming.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

Because there are a lot of things wrong with Melee, too. It's a combination of the best parts of both games; it just happens to have more competitively-geared Melee things than Brawl things.

I wouldn't consider myself a Melee player these days. PM is definitely a different game than Melee and Brawl, but it's definitely for the better in both cases.

 

[Sneak8288]

Who from the pmbr is going to apex?

 

[standardtoaster]

Jcaesar, cmart, yeroc, strong bad, internet explorer, okamibw, monk, and me. I think there might be a few more but I'm not sure.

I agree completely, however its hard to argue the game isn't more a sequel to melee and it definitely resembles melee FAR more than brawl. Melee AT's, concepts, metagame, and characters (design or otherwise) constitute the backbone of mid to high level play and it is melee's engine... With a few improvements <3 rar/wavebounce and momentum games/techs.

 

[Archangel]

I just can't wait for the rest of the changes. Only thing left on my mind now is the techs, brawl shield being fixed...and well...I won't have a legit reason to turn my cube on soon enough.

Wall tethering as well?

I can't say I necessarily agree with that. Many of the bad Melee characters were given N64 or Brawl moves and traits which greatly supplement their overall strategy. Items have become more useful, which is definitely more Brawl-like than Melee-like. Pivot grab, DACUS, and the stuff you mentioned. It's an evolution of the Smash series as a whole using the best of what we've got and a little extra, too! Melee space is the place, but it would be disingenuous to suggest that it doesn't take from the other Smash games a fair amount, as well.

Wall tethering as well?

Arguable improvement, really. It's certainly different, and it's hard to say that it's a bad thing, but its being different is what is most striking, for sure. Only time will tell how it goes.

Nice, I finally get to meet you and monk

 

[hotdogturtle]

Anyone have a video of Pikachu's new nair sound? I haven't had a chance to update yet.

 

[KayB]

Personally, I want tethering back. It improved recoveries in terms of distance and variability and it was always fun to use, worth it or not. I'd like to have it return in PM if it's within the realm of possibility in terms of coding.
