Project Pichu: v2.5 Released!!! - Perfect Physics update! Hiatus not over, though...

[leafbarrett]

You know what? Fine. You want nerfed, you get nerfed. Weaker usmash, fixed graphics/effects, 4-frame QA. http://www.mediafire.com/?mzzzbvmd4n

Ike's uncharged fsmash kills jiggly at 50 from KK slider regardless of DI.
Marth's uncharged tipper fsmash kills jiggly at 75% from KK slider regardless of DI.
Pichu's usmash > Ike's fsmash

Pichu is supposed to have trouble killing.

Fail lol.

Well Pichu is very light and fast. He should have something that hits hard as compensation for hurting himself and dying early.

Perhaps the solution to this is a slightly more powerful discharge? Or more moves afected by it?

EDIT: Forgot to fix Thunder.

ok ty ily <3

 

[leafbarrett]

Look again, reloaded file with fixed Thunder.
And you're welcome... I guess. >_>
Also, upload the new MotionEtc please?

 

[[TSON]]

xD

So what additional moves should have the discharge?

And I'm gonna add something to the idle. For every 25%, the WINDBAWKS (that doesn't actually hit but just pulls loose stuff) gets stronger and stronger, pulling TL's cap, people's clothes, etc toward Pichu. Static cling babeh.

Bair, ftilt, fthrow/dthrow.

and k.

 

[God of Humility]

Bair, ftilt, fthrow/dthrow.

I think FSmash, and maybe dair at least should as well. FSmash needs it, its a main kill move.

 

[[TSON]]

dair definitely doesn't. I could see fsmash (but it'd be smaller), sideB, bair (but idk if I should make that electric..), ftilt, and the other two throws.

Sounds reasonable. What about nair/uair?
And I REALLY want the animation you made :<

 

[[TSON]]

uair doesn't need it, does it?

And you can have the animation... When I finish it.
The movement is like super small, you can barely tell that she's in pain lol.

You should get AIM like srs

 

[leafbarrett]

Skype works fine.
I guess uair doesn't, but I think nair definitely does.

The movement is small? What do you mean by that? Couldn't you just exaggerate the movements when you were making it in the first place?

 

[[TSON]]

Had to make sure it wouldn't freeze first xD.

And I hate skypeeee

Oh.
And what's wrong with Skype?

It's designed around talking, yet I lack a microphone.

:V

lolfail

That and I know hardly anyone who uses it

There's a non-microphone chat, ya know >.>

 

[sffadsad]

Alright, I'll stop complaining about self damage. An increased discharge effect + on more moves sounds like good enough compensation for self damage.

With that new idle animation Pichu will look so much more bad@$$ than Pikachu.

 

[[TSON]]

Wait, can someone test if on the current build, shieldbreak freezes?

 

[toddtj]

I really disagree with adding discharge to any more moves. I like being able to combo with the non-electric moves, and taking that away, coupled with the removal of the option to use moves that don't self harm, is certainly not beneficial. Fsmash would be great and SideB might be alright- it's already fairly strong. Throws wouldn't be a problem, I guess. 13% self harm on backthrow is still way too much.

I've been playing only Pichu for 4 days now(Pichu is really fun!) and she feels balanced, to me.
I really don't think much needs to be changed, aside from cosmetic additions/altercations.

You can't really tell by the pic but Pichu totters, panting, with the electric effect looping around her

This is awesome.

And I'm gonna add something to the idle. For every 25%, the WINDBAWKS (that doesn't actually hit but just pulls loose stuff) gets stronger and stronger, pulling TL's cap, people's clothes, etc toward Pichu. Static cling babeh.

So is this.



One thing I've noticed that may not have been intended: Usmash has a hit box that causes spiking- I don't know where the spot is, exactly, but I hit it nearly 40% of the times I use the move and it completely ruins the kill by slamming my opponent into the ground. It doesn't bounce them into the air, like a normal spike, but I've tried edgeguarding with it, and it certainly is spiking them.

 

[[TSON]]

It's when the head is the most forward.. What, you don't like? D:

Now that I know where it is, it makes sense.
I may not dislike it if I get used to it, but it's certainly been annoying so far, as it has robbed me of quite a few kills.
While it makes sense if you think about it, it's rather confusing, in game.

Why are people bothering to remake melee characters? I couldn't care less about young link and pichu. They're effectively clones. I would however be much more interested in Megaman or Amaterasu or Revolver Ocelot.

Good coders are wasting their energy on remaking these old disposed characters rather than coming up with something creative. Zero, Geno and Wisp are all great examples of PSA characters done right, and I'd much prefer new innovative characters to pichu >.<

 

[superyoshi888]

....

Did you even bother to read the thread? Well...nevermind. Just use her in game and you'll see all of the changes made.

 

[toddtj]

Take the Pichu challenge x3

Final Destination, 1 stamina, survive 20 seconds against a level 9 computer Pichu with 100 stamina .

and by survive 20 seconds i mean kill him within 20 seconds xD

I win.

If you played Pichu, you would notice its now much more different thant Pikachu not to mention more powerful to be equal to the rest of the cast. Seriously Pichu now has so much different mechanics, the only thing ressembling Pika is aesthetics.

Question: Is it currently possible to change the "Profile Text" for characters? For example, how the damage meters in a brawl also have that character's picture and their name (PIKACHU, DONKEY KONG, etc.). As in, could we change it to Pichu, or is it out of our reach as of now?

I know the little picture can be changed, but I dunno about the text

 

[leafbarrett]

I think I overnerfed the usmash, at least everything below 100%. 0%-25% does like 3 damage. x_x Wasn't thinking clearly last night, with how frustrated I was.

Just because you add discharge doesn't mean the move has to cause self-damage too.
And yeah, the bthrow needs a major self-damage drop.

If it slams them into the ground, then follow up with a dsmash.

Yes, OniKage did this a while back for Pichu, Roy and Mewtwo.

Well, being a Pokemon fanboy, this is just how I wanted it to be. SO THERE :V
Plus I think Pichu is plenty original with its emoness and whatnot :3

I know it can, but I'm not exactly what you'd call 'texture savvy'

Just hyphen usmash again if it hits xD.

Ooops D:

Just because you add discharge doesn't mean the move has to cause self-damage too.

It actually kinda does D:
Pichu can't control the electricity coming through its body very well, and if it can make a move stronger it's definitely going to have some recoil.

If it slams them into the ground, then follow up with a dsmash.

That works too

File Replacement.

File Replacement.

:D Seriously? It's files, not codes? (I meant for the names, I know the pictures are file replacement) Yay <3

 

[[TSON]]

The names AND pictures are file replacement lul

 

[leafbarrett]

EDIT: Whoops, double post. Tried to change the other post before posting it x_x This site REALLY needs a delete post option.

Download link please? <3 (Just for Pichu and Roy, I don't have Mewtwo and don't plan on getting him)

I suppose some people feel as though he deserves a place. Each to their own I suppose.
