Replace Alloys we 'new' characters? (+poll)

[UberAndrew]

So since the character clone engine is looking pretty grim at this point, wouldn't it be possible to add the alloys to the character select screen and then replace them with a PSA to make them a new character? I know I've seen mods around that does exactly that, the one that comes to mind is replacing Red alloy with Knuckle Joe.


The only downside to this option is the breaking of the multi-man mode, but I'd imagine plenty of people would be willing to make that sacrifice to get Mewtwo* back.





*Or any other Melee exclusive or other newcomer.

Whoops, accidentally put "we" instead of "with" in the title. My bad, sorry.

I think the public consensus is that adding articles (projectiles) to alloys is currently not possible, so only a projectile-less Roy would work from that.

 

[UberAndrew]

Hm, I didn't know that. You'd think with all the amazing game changing mods and hacks out there someone would have figured out how to add projectiles to the alloys.

But what's more unlikely, getting the character clone engine working or successfully changing an alloy in it's entirety, including adding projectiles?

Alloys cannot grab ledges, use items, grab players, use B moves, and new articles cannot be given to them. This is something hardcoded into the game, and it applies to any PSA that is ported over to them as well.

Okay, I did not know this. Well, that idea quickly flew out the window.
Never mind everybody, pretend I never said anything.

So... How do I delete this thread?

I remember I asked a question about the alloys a long time ago on brawlvaults, basically alloys can't do anything except attack and jump.

 

[Mithost]

We can keep it here just incase someone comes around and asks the same question.

Closing for obvious reasons.
