Line #19 YMMV/PMEXRemix


1	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Sans, and the game's ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' representation in general. While many people love how Sans and his game are represented in ''EX'' and praise his moveset as well as the variety in ''Undertale'' stages and music, others (even [[CreatorBacklash some of the modders behind the game]]) dislike the representation due to the HypeBacklash associated with ''Undertale'', and feel that it would attract [[BrokenBase/{{Undertale}} the character's and game's]] ''[[BrokenBase/{{Undertale}} extremely]]'' [[BrokenBase/{{Undertale}} vocal fanbases]] to ''EX''. Given that a ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' stage is also present, the possibility of adding a fighter from that game such as Kris, Susie or Spamton is contentious for the same reasons.
2	* EvenBetterSequel: Can be considered one to ''VideoGame/ProjectM'' and its popular derivative mods ''Project+'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Legacy XP'', for keeping what made those games great and adding a massive, crowdsourced variety of fighters, stages, music tracks and even ''Event Matches''.
3	* SugarWiki/GeniusProgramming: ''Project M'' was already a labor of love and a miracle of programming, but you have to hand it to the collaborators for ''PMEX REMIX'' to not only expand the roster to one roughly 3 times the size of the ''Brawl'' roster, but to develop fully fleshed-out movesets for each character, and to make the characters with movesets ported over from ''Ultimate'' feel almost exactly like their canon counterparts. Special mention goes to ''Hero's entire Command Menu gimmick'', which was successfully programmed into the ''Brawl'' engine.
4	* GrowingTheBeard: For a long time, ''PMEX REMIX'' was ambitious and impressive, but felt dodgy in some places, most notably with characters such as Joker and Sephiroth that felt rather incomplete compared to their ''Ultimate'' counterparts. The 0.95 update, released in 2022, updated many existing fighters to feel more like their official incarnations and added even more fan-favorites such as Banjo & Kazooie, Pyra, Mythra and Sora, making the game feel even closer to the more-ultimate-than-''Ultimate'' game that it was envisioned as.
5	* HilariousInHindsight:
6	** Sephiroth was one of the most beloved "newcomers" in this game, often to JustHereForGodzilla levels - with ''EX'' gaining popularity only a few weeks before he was officially announced for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.
7	** [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Dive into the Heart]] has been a stage in ''EX'' for a long time, even before any ''Kingdom Hearts'' fighters made it in. Not only was Sora officially announced for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' in late 2021 complete with a stage that transforms into Dive into the Heart, but mere months later he was added to ''EX'', bringing the representation full circle.
8	* JustHereForGodzilla: {{Invoked\|trope}}; the massive character and stage roster are the primary draws of the mod, though some people are attracted to ''REMIX'' for specific characters such as [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] or their favorite ''Ultimate'' fighters not already represented in ''Project M'' and ''Project+''.
9	* LowTierLetdown:
10	** While the game is reasonably well-balanced and tier lists vary wildly, the one constant is that [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Metal Face]] is considered the worst character in the game. On paper, his long range via his attacks and high weight would be mitigating factors for his glaring weaknesses, but they aren't enough to make up for his negative attributes, with his size, weight and fall speed making him especially susceptible to even the most basic combos.
11	** Due to technical limitations regarding custom fighters, Pyra and Mythra have to be two separate characters. However, while solo-maining Sheik is a considered viable enough for her and Zelda to officially be two separate fighters in ''Smash 4'' onwards, this is not the case for solo-maining Mythra in ''Ultimate'', and splitting her apart from Pyra greatly impacts her ability to secure [=KOs=].
12	* UnexpectedCharacter: Just like in ''Smash'' proper, the massive roster is bound to have some choices from out of left field.
13	** [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] - one of the last characters one would expect to be added to a "serious" ''Project M'' expansion - is a fully playable fighter, with original moves and animations. On top of this, while he comes with two ''Undertale'' stages, nobody expected him to come with a ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' stage (specifically, Jevil's battle arena) on top of that, complete with its own music tracks from Chapters 1 and 2.
14	** The ''Franchise/FateSeries'' has a playable fighter - but it's Elizabeth, not [[SeriesMascot Saber]].
15	** The vast majority of the ''[=3DS/Wii U=]'' and ''Ultimate'' veterans are this, because of how faithfully their movesets and unique mechanics are reproduced - one would expect that such a thing would be really difficult to program into the ''Brawl'' engine and that any newer fighters added to ''Brawl'' would feel like a shadow of their official selves, but with the game being out for 12+ years, the collaborative devs managed to pull it off.
16	** VideoGame/DrMario has been a ''Smash'' staple for years, ever since [[TheBusCameBack his return]] after ''Brawl''. Dr. '''Luigi''', on the other hand, is a very obscure version of Luigi (only appearing in his self-titled game, ''Miracle Cure'' and ''Dr. Mario World'') but fits ''Smash'' like a glove given how he combines the concepts of two already-playable fighters.
17	** Nobody expected a ''Franchise/DragonBall'' stage of all things to be added to the game, especially since it originates as a manga and not a video game. However, despite his ironic and unironic popularity as a ''Smash'' character request, Goku is nowhere to be seen because according to WordOfGod, no Goku mod exists that would be deemed high-quality enough for ''REMIX''.
18	** Aside from the obvious Shulk, Pyra and Mythra, who else from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'' would be added? Nia? Jin? Fiora? Dunban? Elma? Noah? Mio? [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} KOS-MOS]]? Nope, it's [[MascotVillain Metal Face]].
19	** Two characters from the fighting game genre has caught people off guard: the first one being [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sub-Zero]], who hails from gaming's most gory fighting game series. The other fighting game representative is perhaps more left-field and that is [[Franchise/BlazBlue Nu-13]]. Weirdly enough is that [[SidelinedProtagonistCrossover she got in]] over the series' protagonist, Ragna.
