Will PSA and normal characters ever be playable at the same time?

[monkeybeast0]

Such as Zero, and link, or wisp and jigglypuff? Kind of sucks that other characters basically have to removed in order to use PSA characters.

no, since the 2 players are technically the same, the game just loads the character and then makes the other one similar to the behavior of a cached data

 

[monkeybeast0]

Ah, what a shame. Still its amazing the brawl hacking scene has come this far.

It's possible with the clone engine.

Clone engine?

It's possible with the clone engine.

Not yet. PW is working on getting it to do so though. At the moment it is possible to Load the normal OR a PSA on the same boot using the clone engine, but it is not possible to have Link fight Zero or Wisp fight Kirby.

>_> Clone engine doesn't do it yet, don't be silly.

There is a topic on the clone engine that you should look at, Monkey, should answer all your questions.
-DD

Alright thanks for the help, I'll be sure to look into it. Everything thats going on here is fascinating.

My bad, I misinterpreted "at the same time" as being "being able to select one or the other," not "being able to fight a characters against its clone."

This is basically the only reason I ever came here in the first place.

there are basically two answers to this.

there's Almas's clone engine, which allows you to select PSA characters prior to brawls (through holding down certain buttons and such). this does save a lot of time, but, no matter who chooses the PSA character from the 'base' character, all other players that select the 'base' will be playing the PSA character instead. in other words, you can't do Roy vs. Marth yet, or Mewtwo vs. Lucario, or Zero vs. Link, etc.

now, the other answer is pretty vague, and i've only heard of it in the air and not read about it. hell, it's mentioned in this thread.
Phantom Wings is supposedly working on another 'clone engine', but one that allows that which Almas's doesn't, with the creation of additional character slots (how that would be activated, button holding or CSS edit i don't know of). by creating unique places for the game to call characters from, Roy vs. Marth would be possible!

this would also be pretty **** important for when model importing comes through (and with SFX placement, i hope).

heh, you can always remove your SD card during gameplay and everything will revert to normal (a round without psa). Then you press "back" or hold b. And press brawl again.
works like a charm.

However, zero vs link is not possible with this method.

I don't think necroing this thread to answer an already-answered question is needed

Locked.
