The Official P:M Edmonton Thread!

[Kuraudo]

Mike, when we meet again, we need to have an epic battle between Squirtle and Charizard. ...if that's who you'd likely main in Project: M that is.

 

[T-block]

nah bro

squirtle's all right, but i can't stand his d-air >=(

lucas all day

 

[Alphicans]

Lucas is pretty cool. I tried him out and got some really gross combos on Jamie.

 

[Stevo]

before Brawl came out I jokingly had the signature of Best Ivysaur in Canada

Basically, I should main Ivy.

 

[Alphicans]

It's hard to pick up a new main when going sheik or fox just makes you so much better :/

 

[Kuraudo]

I think you just can't be afraid to lose when picking up a new main. It takes time to get comfortable enough to be as good as you are with another character as you are with the new guy you pick up.

I'm sure if I stuck with Ganondorf in Project: M, I'd be doing more sick stuff easily enough. But I've worked hard on making Charizard good enough to be my main, win or lose.

Just keep at it.

And also, **** Fox and Sheik.

 

[T-block]

there's also the fact that fox and sheik are actually significantly better characters than most newcomers still

in my humble opinion ofc

 

[Stevo]

so are falco and Jiggs

 

[Kuraudo]

Can we agree that Melee characters were just broken?

 

[Frio]

No, they are obviously just more developed. People played them for years so ofc they are going to have some advantages.

 

[Limeee]

i want to play new characters so bad but the old melee top tiers are just so much fun

except for falco ofc, he's a big ***

 

[Alphicans]

Pretty much this.

 

[T-block]

i kept that in mind, but i still feel fox has waaaay more going for him than lucas does, for example

 

[Stevo]

I think melee top tier characters are still the best, but not by a large margin. There is lots to learn still about the other characters.

Jiggs might have a couple hard counters out there in the new comers or something, for example.

 

[Crusayer]

Not sure if you're trolling or not since you play falco in melee now. lol

 

[Limeee]

i play falco because fox is too hard

falco is fun to play as, but him as a character is kind of unfun to play against a lot of the time
fox in project m is easier for whatever reason though

 

[Kuraudo]

Yeah you guys are right. After all we didn't think that Jiggs was (while a good character) too much of a threat until people like Mango and Hungrybox hit the scene.

That and the game is still changing with different versions. It'll be a while until we get the final version of the game.

 

[Taste]

My 2¢ is that if I were to travel up and play you guys, I'd like to play Brawl and PM at the same time, not just one or the other.

 

[Kuraudo]

We'll still be running Project: M at the Brawl monthlies. It'll just continue to be the secondary event.

 

[Crusayer]

Still dunno why you guys can't run it at the same time. If you have a single setup dedicated to it the entire tournament, might as well use it to run the tournament a little earlier instead of waiting until 8 pm to do it.

If you guys get two TVs for PM, would you guys be able to do it at the same time? That's 2x brawl + 2x PM.

Sounds fine and dandy, until you try balancing two games at the same time. I'd rather I played Brawl first then another game after. Or vice versa.

 

[Crusayer]

Running both games should theoretically improve attendance numbers. Though, if none of the other PM players start attending, side event is all it's gonna be I guess.

If we get more and more players playing PM and all we do is just start it at 8 pm every time, I don't see how that's good at all for the PM only people.

Though in every other case for running multiple games, it's about attendance to cover venue so I guess that reason is null since our room is free anyway. The argument would just be for someone in the PM community to step up and host their own tournament Lol.

On balancing between games, that's your own fault if you can't handle it. As if running two (or three) games has ruined the tournament for the smash majors. Whether you want to play which game is your choice. If you want focus on just brawl, just enter brawl then. You can always play PM friendlies later.

But this is all irrelevant until we get more PM players anyway lol.

 

[Frio]

who is actually going to bring another tv though lol.

 

[Crusayer]

I can probably start driving stefan if he wants to bring his stuff. I just couldn't every time before since the monthly always landed on a workday for me.

Man, I wish my parents didn't destroy that one CRT I was supposed to get from a relative =/.

 

[Stevo]

OMG, PM started at 8? Glad I didn't come then because I would have had to leave long before that lol.

I was going to show up at 2.

 

[Alphicans]

PM friendlies all day

 

[Stevo]

Ok. I'm still thinking it might be worthwhile for Project M to have it's own thing.

 

[Crusayer]

Well unless everyone else starts coming out for it, nothing's gonna happen lol.

Or unless the brawl community starts favoring PM over brawl.

 

[Stevo]

yeah

I do intent to start attending Project M stuff more in the future. I'm sure I can manage once a month consistently. More than that may be unlikely, however, so that's why I want to make sure the time I do attend will be worthwhile.

 

[Alphicans]

PM is gonna happen once a month no matter what. When it is announced, that's THE monthly event so just come, and perhaps eventually that once a month thing will become a bigger once a month thing (but still be once a month).

 

[Stevo]

I should just move to Edmonton and host smash sundays again

 

[Alphicans]

Smash sundays were so good cause there were so many people

 

[Stevo]

I would make it happen. My basement now would be great for it, I just live in Athabasca....


AWESOME NEW UPDATE FOR 2.5

new stage select screen, which allows you to strike stages on the screen itself! You can set it to auto strike all stages that are not selected for random select, and then strike from there as you normally would! Also, Z button to clear strikes, and L and R swap between pages on the stage select.


So awesome.

[Alphicans]

Lol none of us will go

 

[Stevo]

If I wasn't already travelling so damn much this christmas season I might have tried to make it lol

 

[Limeee]

i'll be in hawaii

2.5 smashfest in edmonton when i get back

 

[Crusayer]

So.

Dat Diddy.

 

[x After Dawn x]

No smash?

 

[Stevo]

so, if you haven't checked out the most recent update for 2.5, go do so. Explains why Project M has always felt "off" or somewhat "clunky" compared to melee
