Quite the gamut you've all completed here.

So the majority vote is that Project M's development team and fanbase shows a bit of condescension, but has interesting ideas, and that not everyone who likes it subscribes to "Stop Having Fun" Guys Monthly.

That said, competitive players are still in a constant battle to distinguish themselves from the more... dogmatic and stereotypically fun-retardant players that only appear after dark.

You know, with all the times I've heard wavedashing, L-canceling, stage balancing, and Project M/balancing mods referenced here, I was getting the impression that a lot of you guys were highly competitive players who really hated most of the series's regular elements, so I sort of kept my nose out. Heh, what a poor amount of information to go on stereotypes.

Well, that topic sounds like pure advertising instead. Just the name alone. That, and fanmods aren't welcome everywhere.

Assuming you were talking to me ... I got curious since somebody referenced it here. I was kind of annoyed to see that the thread was gone, probably due to some hostility. But then I've never heard Game FA Qs described as a very magical place of discussion.

I'm sure there's another Project M thread somewhere. It's just not that one.

Yes, I was speaking to you specifically. smile

And we have very mixed reactions on Techniques and other such, to say the least. There's hardly a consensus here on what the "best" way to play the game is. But that's okay, because there is none.

Anyone who doesn't want to take the chance of winding up at Icicle Mountain or Brinstar Depths isn't the kind of person I'd want to play with, personally.

Brinstar Depths is fine. Icicle Mountain? Bluh.

Summit made up for Icicle Mountain in Brawl though. Awesome stage, that.

Brinstar Depths should have returned in Brawl instead of Brinstar, considering how Norfair practically does the same thing as Brinstar with the rising hazard.

I'd really like an Endless Ocean stage.

No. Santuary Fortress is from Metroid Prime Echoes (balanced by the Ing Hive), and Skytown is from Metroid Prine Corruption.

Now, Xenoblade has a place called Galahad Fortress...

I just wish icicle mountain had featured more hazards, like Topis and Polar Bears and falling icicles.

I feel like Icicle Mountain had a fine balance with regards to that stuff. As much as I like stage hazards, it can get to a point where it is annoyingly too much, like the Rumble Falls stage. That stage can be just sensory overload, and that one spike near the edge of the screen next to the ladder is just plain dickish.

I would have liked both vertical-scrolling stages if they kept a constant pace instead of speeding up out of nowhere.

I sure said that!

For the record, I did take a look in that Gamefaqs thread before it was removed last night, and there was plenty of smugness, lack of understanding of how somebody could NOT want to play Project M, and condescension within the first 8 pages. No idea what happened in the last 17 to cause it to be removed, but I suspect more hostility.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Okay, just to end this conversation, the general concensus is, the people at Project M can act like smug hats, but Phil Fish can't.

Note: I'm not endorsing elitism in any way. Far from it. I'm just saying that the way people call them out is being hypocritical. That's all.

lack of understanding of how somebody could NOT want to play Project M,

I have a total lack of understanding how someone could have a lack of understanding about someone not wanting to play Project M.

I, for one, will be staying far away from Super Smash Brothers Brawl: Hardcore Tournament Edition.

Personally, I have a total lack of understanding why anyone would ever want to argue about either position.

THAT BEING SAID, let's move on. I just saw this quote on Sakurai's Miiverse (from an older post, since one from August is at the top for some reason) about the 3DS version that intrigued me, and which I like a lot, since the outlines around the characters bugged me from day 1 and made the models look uglier to me:

By the way, their outlines can be made thinner or made to disappear completely.

So, the pic of the day: The giant wind mill in the right-hand side of Windy Hill. It keeps on turning even though it can't fit in the screen, so you'll find yourself in trouble if you're on it for too long.

So in addition to this possibly confirming it not being a scrolling stage (sad), it also seems like the windmills work nothing like they do in the actual game [lol]

Now, see, I'm thinking Windy Hill is a large stage with the bottom half of the windmill visible on a far side. Since only the bottom half is part of the active field, if you stand on it and let it take you off-screen, the thing that usually happens in Smash when you're taken off-screen happens.

I sure said that!
