Project M Social Thread

[MK26]

shanus, are you even considering changing the name of the project at this point?

 

[Vigilante]

I think they stated many times that that name will remain.

 

[Jonas]

The plot was written by Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto.

Being the creator of a game doesn't mean you understand it. Look at Brawl lol.

Anyway, Sakamoto just wanted to "try something new." He wanted to focus on characters and plot in a series that's always been about exploration and atmosphere, and it just didn't pay off.
Even if the characterizations had been good and the cutscenes enjoyable to watch, it's still a terrible way to go about making a Metroid game.

I think they stated many times that that name will remain.

That kind of sucks. "Project: M" is a cool name for a work-in-progress but it just doesn't sound like a title >_>
Oh well, I guess the title is one of the least important things about the game.

 

[Vigilante]

Meh, so long as it's fun, it could be called "Yackydoodle" for all I care, but Supah Smash Hommies: Respect is my pick (Kidding)

 

[FireBall Stars]

If the name of the Project is M

Name the full game "Super Smash bros. M"

~HURR DURR

 

[Razzack]

"Project: M" is a cool name for a work-in-progress but it just doesn't sound like a title >_>

Agreed. It sounds like it's still WIP, which won't be the case forever. I think we should keep the "M" Part, though. It states the purpose of the mod nicely and has become somewhat of an inside-meme anyway.

 

[Strong Badam]

Also, as a replacement title for Project: M (I mean, once it's released, it'll no longer be a project, right?), I am a huge fan of "Revolution".

Nah, we're going to name it Vibrant.

 

[Xedi]

OK, some incredibly minor points:

Can you make it so that handicap (i.e. buffer) is automatically enabled when you enter the game?

Why does pressing z while hanging on a ledge do the rolling animation rather than the attack one?

 

[MonkUnit]

We /can/ make it so that buffer is on by default but we won't.

Because Z is interpreted as Shield+A and that goes into the thing of pressing shield does ledge roll.

 

[Vigilante]

Meh, buffer is for the weak. That game is not meant to be played with it. I don't support the idea because it would mean handicap is on ON by default and it would make the screen look less good. Buffer's just ther efor people to slowly adapt to zero.

 

[Utterrandomness]

I'm happy that the buffer exists at all tbh

 

[Cubelarooso]

You could just change the default settings yourself.
There's a guide here.

 

[Crispy4001]

Yes, but my patience for your suggestions is. There is no reason to hassle someone to do work for you that you cannot even use, let alone asking someone out of strict goodwill and no pay.

It'd still be good to keep in contact in case something changes. Let him know what's up. But yeah, I agree.

 

[Ecks]

Ecks-That was because I contacted Brawl's announcer back in 2008

Jody Summer, Micaiah, Ridley, Krystal, Isaac, Bowser Jr., and Tails also have announcer calls. You don't think Sakurai planned to have them all playable as well?.

Well I never said anything about the characters. Moving on, is anyone else pissed that none of those characters made the cut? Specially the girls. Damn Sakurai turning brawl into a sausage fest!

 

[Seikishidan Soru]

Being the creator of a game doesn't mean you understand it. Look at Brawl lol.

I'm pretty sure Sakurai fully understood the implications of what he was doing.

Also just call it "The aMazing Smash Brothers".

 

[Supreme Dirt]

I'm mostly annoyed that there wasn't a new Zelda character. Hell, even Wolf Link would have been better.

But this isn't really the place for this.

 

[MonkUnit]

With the amount of stuff that Magus has done for Project M, in my eyes it is Project Magus.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Super Smash Bros. Megasmackdown.

There is no choice.

 

[Juushichi]

Are we getting any blog posts this week? Even shedding some light on some of the (slightly older) ones that haven't gotten much pub would be appreciated.

Sounds like smash meets a crappy wwe game.

 

[JCaesar]

I think the inclusion of Zero Suit Samus (aka Miss Bigbooty Fanservice) makes up for any amount of sausagefesty-ness.

 

[Vigilante]

Samus was my girlfriend before she had the zero suit. I respect pixelized women. (Joke)

Don't worry, the hentai market is considerably vast.

 

[Ecks]

It's still not enough considering Samus has been on smash since 64(it really helps though). I could go on talking about more ninty girls that should have been in, but that would be off topic so I won't.

And btw, I think there should be a new trailer when the patch is released since the first trailer is so outdated it may aswell be removed from youtube.

Interestingly, at the time of of SSBM, the pikachu could have been male or female. But gender differences were introduced before Brawl, and Sakurai made no change to any of the pikachu costumes. Thus, we lost one possible female character. Very strange that no one has made that vertex yet.
Pichu had no gender differences, so it still could have been female. But it's not in.
All of the new Pokés have a 7/8 chance of being female, so it's unlikely that any of THEM are women.
Mewtwo is a clone, and the mew it was cloned from is mentioned in the Cinnabar logs as having given birth, meaning the mew was female, so as its clone, Mewtwo must be female. So that's another woman down the pipes.
I think Zamus counts as negative, because of how insulting her portrayal is, and the fact Samus was already in.
For what really, REALLY makes me rage, check my sig.

So this makes me wonder, any women on the P:M team?


If a new trailer is made, it needs to specifically include things that were impossible before the patch. And have the song "Whole New World" from Aladdin.

 

[MonkUnit]

The only woman in the PMBR that I know of is DynaDash but she is super inactive and has probably been purged.

ST and I could probably get some small clips of landing detection such as ganon's dair through platforms, SHL, SHDF, SH bair waveland, missile canceling(if it is going to be all out and not just demo chars that is), etc.

 

[libertyernie]

I think video games in general need more characters who are girls.

 

[JCaesar]

Obligatory picture of girls playing Project M:

 

[MonkUnit]

How do we know that they aren't playing brawl?

I'd like to see Ganondorf dairing through platforms (on BF and YS particularly). The only thing I've seen of it was that gif of him jumping onto Dreamland's platform.

 

[MonkUnit]

Which would be better? A video of all the LD stuff or gifs of them?

 

[ds22]

Video.
10vid

 

[Rikana]

Videos would be good. Videos are more satisfying than GIFs.

 

[Eccentricities]

Videos.

I miss playing this game. My Wii is broken and cannot read SD cards, and I also have no controller.

Life is hard.

 

[Thunderhorse+]

Because I'm the person on the left hand side, and I would never play Brawl.

 

[JediKnightTemplar]

Mewtwo is a clone, and the mew it was cloned from is mentioned in the Cinnabar logs as having given birth, meaning the mew was female, so as its clone, Mewtwo must be female.

Um, last I checked Mewtwo and Mew have never had a gender. Even check Serebii, it says genderless under both Mewtwo and Mew.

Yes. 10yes.

 

[shanus]

Once I findr the perfect next song I'll see about drafting up our next trailer.

But you were a brawl player before Project M! D:

 

[Juushichi]

I was about to say the same thing, actually. 5 min later.
