At the same time though, it's inherently built towards the competitive scene, so if you're not particularly interested in that aspect, things may be lost on you.

It's Brawl but with the physics changed to be more like Melee, in regard to advanced techniques and exploits.

I'd get it if I could even download it to an SD Card because my comp lacks an SD Card slot.

Unfortunately, due to being competitive, they take fun stages and remove everything good about them; a funectomy. They also took away Wario's bike, the bastards.

Yeah, because people can't have fun playing competitive. That's against the law.

Seriously though, don't be that guy. They tailored the game to be fun for a different type of crowd.

Maybe I should've stated that it was my own opinion, rather than a deluded belief that what I was saying was an objective truth.

I like some of Project M's ideas but others are incredibly forced- Why does R.O.B. need to recover via Cave Story mechanics?

So basically, what a shock- Mixed bag.

I sure said that!

I still don't like what they did to Lucario in Project M

Though it is kinda hilarious now considering Ryu is actually in Smash now.

It strikes me as unnecessary to mod Brawl to be more like Melee considering, y'know, Melee still exists. It's not as though the moment Brawl released every disc of Melee disappeared into the aether.

But Melee with King Dedede doesn't exist.

That's the funny thing- A lot of the people who prefer Melee over Brawl... Play Melee.

I guess my ultimate point is that it's interesting and often good when it's modifying the base game but not so fantastic when it's outright changing it?

I just scored a hilariously awesome Bowsercide KO against an Ike at 0% on his last stock against my totally unsuspecting brother in Brawl. I wish I had recorded it.

@78279: Not anymore. The original, hazardéd versions of the stages can be chosen by holding L now.

It took ages to trick the game's filesystem into essentially doubling the amount of stage slots, but they finally figured out how to do it.

And the stages on Page 2 are unaltered.

Also, I got a few more amiibos on Saturday:

  • Little Mac (so I have completed Wave 2)
  • Meta Knight
  • Ness
  • Lucario
  • Shulk

so, 4 store exclusives plus the rarest unicorn ever. I'm getting another store exclusive in the mail soon (don't know when he'll arrive). Though I imported all the birthday amiibo sans Marth from Japan. Marth and Fox are the only unicorns that have not been imported from Japan. My Marth is a reprint so I don't have a Morth.

[up]awesome!

Is there any difference between reprints and the originals?

Marth has some slight differences and Villager was given a new head, but there's not much difference between reprints and those on launch. The back of some boxes change to include the new 3DS and the NFC reader though.

Thanks. My Pit amiibo I ordered is the re-run version, so I was curious if the-run had any differences (from a quick search, it doesn't).

My understanding is that Pit is lucky to be just cartoony enough to avoid the :v faces that the FE cast has suffered from the start.

I sure said that!

Shulk kinda looks like he has a Morth situation too.

Lucina and Robin avert this issue, though.

So I was watching a video on Youtube about some basic advanced moves (like wavedashing and such), just out of curiosity. I then went into the comments, like I do on every video.

BAD IDEA.

Yeeeaaaahhh... The online communities for Melee in general are very toxic towards new players, and in general, and are very stuck up. It's sorta the same for competitive Project M, though no where near as much.

It's part of the reason that the competitive Melee scene seems to be (slowly) dying.
