i dont know why people are asking for beta...they shouldnt release a beta, they should only release it when its done
Isn't P:M still in its alpha stages?
I'm pretty sure when the entire melee cast has been recreated, the brawl cast has been meleefied, the landing detection code is perfected, the hitbox sizes and knockback values are fixed, and the camera is fully meleefied... then there will be a beta.
I think the purpose of the P:M beta is to release a "complete" version of the game for the community to play, popularize, and evolve the meta game; then the Backroom will develop and begin balancing (aka, low tier buffing) for future versions.
I doubt that P:M will release a beta in its current form, but I have a feeling before november that an official beta will be released.
I also hope that some time down the road that they add in wall grappling and fix the DI, but I think it was stated earlier that these two things would be very difficult to do.
Of course, I could be wrong. But there is no need to start an argument over whether a beta is good or not when we aren't even sure what stage of P:M is the "beta" and whether the PMBR intends the beta to be a test or an actual release to get wheels turning in preparation for future versions.
