Alloys cannot grab, shield, or do anything besides A attacks (and of course jump and what not) so no they can't be used as slots for DLC characters. Annnnnd no it's not easy to fix that stuff either.

So we would not include them at any point at all.

I see thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Pimpfish]

all my firends play kirby and jump high and down b or play link and jump high and down air.

i do have one pro friend who plays shiek cause she can combo easily, and by pro i mean not a pro

That's like casual smash 101.

I dont think it can possibly get more casual...

You left out spamming Pikachu's Thunder

 

[Anth0ny]

how bout spamming links up b... that **** is still broken!

 

[NeoZ]

I don't think there's any need to advertise it to casual players in a special way, they can try it themselves and see if they like it.
There's also no need to sugarcoat anything, the game will be fun even if they don't play competitively.

And they might even find it more fun than you might expect since every character should stand a chance, there should be no unwinnable match-ups or OP characters that would dissuade them from continuing to play.

adapt to meta/mind games is all I can say.

 

[Ulevo]

So how's that stream coming?

 

[Spoon~]

I need some sort of entertainment throughout this blizzard =D

 

[MonkUnit]

He said he would stream at 6:00 PM EST. It is now 9:00 EST. I don't think that stream is happening tonight.

 

[hotdogturtle]

If you really want to bring new people into P:M you all should probably stop assuming everyone is either a melee purist who own 5 copies of melee, or a brawl player who picks kirby and just jumps really high and uses down b. Most people are somewhere inbetween. Even people who aren't into competitive smash in the least should enjoy all the new stages.

You're new to the internet, aren't you.

 

[Sneak8288]

about to stream soon after a melee match... http://www.ustream.tv/channel/projectmsneak

 

[Ecks]

There are a lot of casuals who prefer melee's gameplay too. When brawl came out I played melee casually (as in no l cancels, wavedash, etc) and when I tried brawl I was so dissapointed... Hell I got brawl (someone was throwing it away lol) recently.

I have a feeling that after pm is out alot of casuals are gonna try it just to see what the fuss is about. That's how I got into competitive melee.

[Makai]

Roy vs. Marth hype!

 

[Super_Smash_Kid]

Hype indeed

 

[Zef]

roy vs. Marth hype!

what is this

 

[Soldner Kei]

Roy vs. Marth hype!

what what what???

you're kidding right?

 

[moleman915]

Custom sick looking P:M menus hype!

 

[Xinc]

Can't believe I missed the blasted Roy v Marth. Hope someone recorded it.

People might make a couple of questions though, if you really are calling it the synthesis of 64/Melee/Brawl, you might have to revert or change several things.

[quote-Why is the Result's screen exactly like Melee's?

Being dark means it's exactly like melee?

-Why Mewtwo and Roy? I want some new characters

neither of those chars are confirmed, and we aren't spending > 400 hrs to add a different character that was never in a smash game.

-What happened to <insert move here>? I liked that move and it was better.

we are able to justify any change we've made.

-This game is too fast, I want it to be more like 64/Brawl (Melee is the only fast game in the series, Brawl+ was right in the middle)

64 is about as fast as melee.
either way, play one of those games. we aren't pleasing 1 person to displease 95% of our followers.

 

[Sails]

Was it ever stated why Wario's bike was removed for his SideB? I understand the trade-off, but some players really seem to enjoy the tires and other uses. I also understand nothing is finalized, but I'm curious as to what the current reasoning is.

 

[Spelt]

64 is about as fast as melee.

no it isn't, it's a pretty significant amount slower, but still not as slow as brawl.

 

[DarkDragoon]

Lol, no, it really isn't.

It just isn't as smooth. The pace of gameplay is pretty close.

Recovery mainly, also, we've tried reimplementing tires in other ways but the game makes them invisible without the bike being there. We know people like the tires and we'll try to continue to explore that some more but for now, we can't seem to do it.

My friend brought up an idea of using a taunt that brings out the bike and then explodes leaving tires (Think the mustache pulling victory screen animation). Why wouldn't this work? I'm sure there is more to it >_>

Animation space, there's a limit on the file size of Wario's motionetc file and as a result we can't really make a taunt that spawns the bike in a sensible way. Like I said, we'll continue to explore the possibility but right now it's really grim.

Huh? Link, Kirby, Pikachu and Ike will still be over-powered for them

You realize that lots of match-ups in Brawl are that fast as well, right?

Yeah but brawl's stock standard is 3 as opposed to 5 that is in 64.

That's because it takes people longer to die?

I wasn't talking about the length of the match, I was referring to the pace.

[Devil Ray]

i read the Project M homepage and the threads, but there doesn't seeem to be a set date for the final version.

anything concrete, or is the demo just going to be another part of the test phase????

 

[MonkUnit]

The release date is before Pound 5. Pound 5 is February 19-21.

 

[jalued]

has DJC been changed at all from the brawl+ solution? I remember a discussion about it being awkward
