One question, Whats time appear the download in the page?

This. Can you confirm whether it's a midnight release or a "whenever we finalize the files during the day" release?

Eternal Yoshi · Feb 4, 2011

I'll still be tuned into the livestreams.

I can't shake the feeling that I forgot something.....

I've been posting updates on both Melee and Brawls forums on GameFAQS and despite a few people coming in to the threads with negativity, the overall response has been positive, albeit a bit limited. The more I seem to post there, the more support it seems to gather. It's all about the approach you take.

Crispy4001 · Feb 4, 2011

GameFAQs is a generally terrible place for spreading publicity though. Especially if you've been sticking to the Smash games' boards. Most everyone who'd be interested in Project M likely haven't visited them in years, and have no reason to start doing so again (and that's the kicker). Plus threads get locked auto-locked over time, and you can't do anything with the formatting.

But yeah, I suppose every little bit helps.

Ulevo · Feb 4, 2011

My friend, there is no such thing as a bad place to spread publicity. It all rides on how you market the product.

As long as you don't jam Project M down peoples throats and tell them to play it, and humor the criticism they have, and answer questions appropriately, it will attract some people, even if only a few.

I wouldn't disagree. The forum I frequent (1up) admittedly doesn't draw a whole lot of folks. Well, not compared to GAF or IGN at least.

But yeah, my opinion's that if you can make a good OP that's as comprehensive as it needs to be, and that won't piss off the detractors, that's good enough. Pretend like it's an 'official' thread for any other game, in other words.

And while it's great to see that GAF thread get some PM mentions, I hope talk of PM doesn't go full throttle until the demo hits, in its own thread.

FireBall Stars · Feb 4, 2011

As long as you show the other characters progress I'll keep watching the stream.

TeiunBomb · Feb 4, 2011

I still plan on watching the stream. It will still be interesting to see the progression of the non-demo characters, and to see what tweaks the demo characters receive, if any.

Plus, hearing at least JCaeser's crew interact with each other is always a blast.

tera twin · Feb 4, 2011

if the demo is out feb 7th, will it be up for download shortly after 12:00AM? or way later. the reason i ask is because i want to take the demo to a smashfest that very same day and people are willing to play it and give their input.

iLink · Feb 4, 2011

Regarding streams: Honestly as long as you guys make an effort to use characters we can't use ourselves and show WIP stuff then I would still watch them.

Mr.Pickle · Feb 4, 2011

I <3 you guys way to much to stop watching your streams, in between my real life stuff of course.

Your stage list isn't completely right, FYI.

Nice detective work though.

I'll still be watching the live streams you guys set up. How else am I supposed to see new developments, hm?

Plus theorycrafting and discussions are awesome to read.

OverLade · Feb 4, 2011

Kati · Feb 4, 2011

Are there plans for Skyworld? the floor ruins Metaknight, even in the brawl+ version.

Shadic · Feb 4, 2011

Yeah, we've changed Skyworld.

Intentionally unhelpful.

This, although you guys do have complete control over what you show off in the streams. I do believe that you'd like to hype and reward those who show up by giving them some bits on new things like new stages/stage changes, character developments, and generally super wizard hacking stuff anyways.

Will P:M surpass Melee? Will it please the hardcore Melee community in general? What do you think?

Discuss here:

ClinkStryphart · Feb 4, 2011

lol I remember in B+ when I played toon link on that stage Just obliterated my friend on it due to T.Link could just bounce continously off the platform and sometimes the spike due to disjointed hit boxes would cause it to spike him lol. which i do admit was pretty funny but pretty annoying in the same manner.

standardtoaster · Feb 4, 2011

GHNeko is streaming! :O http://www.justin.tv/ghneko

GHNeko · Feb 4, 2011

yeah im streaming lol

GHNeko · Feb 4, 2011

granted im not all that good

Vigilante · Feb 4, 2011

@JCaesar: I'll continue watching. The streams are informative, and fun to look at.

Sails · Feb 4, 2011

Guess I'll bring this up again. You guys should see about All is Brawl supporting P:M. Get a front page post rolling, get a ladder and such, it would definitely promote the game among Brawlers.

libertyernie · Feb 4, 2011

P:M is cool.

I cant seem to remember my username for there so I hope no one objects to me posting here.

Wether P:M will surpas Melee or not is all speculation at this point in time.
Wether it can or not is a question that eveyone can agree on, "Yes".

Project M as a hack has potential to surpass Melee in every way. We just have to choose what makes a competative fighter competative and deep, and we have to emphasize those points and add in new features Melee doesnt have that will unquestionably raise the competative credability as well. we have the potential to make the greatest competative fighter ever made with the amount of controll we have over brawl. how or if we get there is in the hands of the developers.

As for the community accepting us. its important we'd get off on the right foot, but more than that. The Melee and Brawl community have to be open minded. Without that, no fancy paragraph about P:M Will get us very far.

Odessa · Feb 4, 2011

I'm new at downloading software: so bear with me here.

How do I download Homebrew Channel on an unmodded Wii? I also don't have Twilight Princess.

Thanks. Would help.

omg Wall of Epic Text....that would be cool to see Some new features in Project M but what can possibly come to mind?

btw FIXED

Machiavelli.CF · Feb 5, 2011

Perhaps we can look to other famous fighters and see what their best features are and build off them.

I think you would need Bannerbomb, find it on wiibrew.
You wouldnt need Twilight Princess.

Grim Tuesday · Feb 5, 2011

Or we could just continue with the current direction of the project.

Just saying.

Assuming you have a copy of Brawl, you can utilize the Smash Stack method if you're on Firmware 4.2. Otherwise, you can use BannerBomb, which doesn't require anything.

Smash Stack, along with information on how to install, can be found here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Smash_Stack

Do not worry about fudging the installation, it's impossible.

I dont think anything said would be against the direction of the project, would it? o.0

Vigilante · Feb 5, 2011

They will also provide an easy install whent he dmeo is out. There is no real need to mod your Wii.

What is the goal of Project M?
Project M hopes to achieve a game similar to Super Smash Bros. Melee in many respects. It does not, however, intend to be a 1:1 Melee clone. The following is a list of the main aspects of Super Smash Bros. Melee that inspired and have carried over into Project M:

In short, Project M aims to capture the essence of what made Melee a truly great game in our eyes.

Machiavelli.CF · Feb 5, 2011

I can see what you mean, but you never know what might come along that catch the team's eye in the future.

GHNeko · Feb 5, 2011

Should I move to Ustream or should i stick to Justin.tv

just asking

Rikana · Feb 5, 2011
