  • Project Melee is our last hope for brawl fans and melee fans to get along...

  • can someone please tell me how to get the other characters on project m?

  • Whos that falco from 0;06

  • Anyone knows the intro song please?

  • I missed my copy of Melee, so I got used to and loved Brawl. Now I can go back to my Melee days. Played a round, and I forgot at how fast Melee was! lol I gotta retrain myself, since I have been away from Melee for so long.

    Well, I cannot wait for this project to be completed. For now, my friend and I will be enjoying the demo.  Keep up the good work!

  • Project M will be great downloading the demo right now

  • I dont understand, my first SSB was Melee and now i play Brawl. The only difference was the gravity, fighting is pretty much the same for me :/

  • @Fwoggye the more competitive you played the game the more notable the differences are

  • @poolduckypoolducky That would make sense because we would just use melee to fuck around and do the gravity glitch and the single player. I never got to a super competitive state with melee, Brawl is really where I started to actually get better at Super Smash Bros. I did notice that combos and keeping someone with you and not letting them escape was more well defined in melee but I never got to explore that part of the game or really noticed it.

  • when is this coming out?

  • @weirdalyank2 it is already released -.-

    google it : "Project M download" lol

  • Heck yes they fixed Shiek!

    I'm downloading this ASAP!

  • Any idea when this thing is coming out?

  • "Brawl Strayed so far away from a great game"

    Problem , Shigeru ?

  • Comment removed

  • I know there's lots of love for Melee here but in defense of Brawl, it's a lot easier to hack, has better graphics, and makes a more aerodynamic frisbee.

  • This Project Melee is definitely gonna be something I'm gonna get. When Brawl came out, I was so disappointed. It's nice that they are making the Brawl characters also play like in Melee. I can't wait to get back to wavedashing, chain grabs and air combos with the new characters.

  • OMG! The LoZ level from SSB. That shall be my most played level

    

  • CAN i use it on dolphin emulator?

  • Maybe in a few years this could become a real game and be sold in Stores. Or maybe this year or next year =P.

  • Squeeee

    Must hack wii now. This is a necessity!!!

  • I don't understand how this argument persists. Brawl lacks what made melee stand out.

  • Yes, I am one of those who have wasted my time and energy at tournaments (only winning one, but besides the point :P) Melee was the best GC game, by a long shot and brawl brings it to shame. Me and my friends use the phrase, "brawled," as to something that has been ruined that was once great or perfection. Brawl was a spit in the face to Melee lovers

  • To all of those fools who suggest that brawl was a better game because of its mechanics are complete idiots. Its like saying Food is not delicious, and it all tastes the same. Melee was more than smashing buttons, it was a quick pace of timing, a well-played symphony of button-pushing where timing was key and one slip could cause the other opponet to play his own devastating melody. Have you ever wave-dashed, or even felt the power of the "wave-shine" by Fox, have you?

  • this is like a dream come true

  • OMFG

    

  • First C.F. combo defines the word Epicness.

  • If I would give my 2 cents on this matter I think that BRawl is underrated. I too was disappointed with Brawl in the beginning, wondering why they took out all the "skill". But where there used to be a button pushing race there now was a lot more emphasis on (continuously) correct spacing and better decision making. Almost every character had those 10-hit-combos in Melee, and as soon as you got the opponent in the air you just... did your thing, and took a stock.

  • In Brawl though I feel like almost every hit needs the planning, the spacing, the punishing. Damage isn't given out in pre-scripted avalanches anymore..

    Also @zybermen If you used to press those L buttons with your thumbs I can understand that they're hurt ^__^

  • ehrm, my 2 posts somehow switched places, so read the long one first...

  • @TylersJack09

    that's a very close minded point of view with some lack in experience with melee and the brawl...you say everyone ahs 10-hit combos and easily take a stock? Show me some evidence, i can easily show you something similar but with brawl with it's grab releases, 0-death chain grabs and chain grabs in general with a good portion of the cast even rendering some character match ups pointless. All that about decision making and spacing was in melee too and at a harder faster pace.

  • @TylersJack09 Melee had all the same concepts of spacing and correct tactics that Brawl has, it just that Melee's speed made it extra nessesary for those concepts to become second nature. On a side note for the most part, Melee having "true" comboes is a half-truth: most chaingrabs and air comboes can be escaped if you DIed in a way that the opponent didn't guess; often Melee comboes are oki.

  • techskill = tourneyskill, according to Melee bads. IMHO, I feel like Brawl takes way more brains to play than Melee, that is if you are fighting against an equally skilled opponent. Melee is all about being flashy...... and getting punished for it, rofl. Don't get me wrong, Brawl is still incredibly horrible.

    Any Melee "pro" would get destroyed at a real fighting game that actually takes skill and execution. Like ST or Marvel 2 for example.

  • @Orlhajoetoe Melee is mostly about opening someone up using mobility, and when you get on someone, keeping the pressure. It's a much more aggressive game than Brawl because one hit can blow the opponent up. It's almost like ST in that way, since both games punish you HARD for getting knocked down.

    It's not just about being flashy. I'm not a huge fan of Melee's gameplay (My thumbs still hurt from pressing that damn L button all the time), but it certainly took as much brains to play as Brawl.

  • Comment removed

  • @zybermen Your press the l button with your thumbs?

  • Comment removed

  • L with your thumbs?

  • @zybermen You used your THUMB TO PRESS L?

    Definitely not a melee player. GTFO

  • This is true and this made me laugh LOL

  • @zybermen How the hell do you press L with your thumb?!?!?!

  • @Orlhajoetoe Sorry, post got too long. Execution for Melee wasn't that low, IMO; I wouldn't say it was anywhere near ST or 3rd Strike level execution, but it certainly takes more technical skill than many other fighters (Blazblue, MvC3) I've played. A lot of that was due to the ass gamecube controller, of course.

    But technical skill is just one part of what makes a game good. Melee was good for many people for the same reason that I love 3rd Strike/MvC3 and you love ST and Marvel 2: It's fun.

  • I've never heard of fans of a series working to develop/hack a better game because the sequel was so crappy. Brawl is truly a failure.

  • Imagine if Brawl was really like this?

  • Can't wait for update patch coming up soon :D

  • aaaaaweeeeeesooooomeeeee

    

  • give me some shots, and some time and i will make u an better promo.

  • you say justin bieber i say stfu

    you say brawl i say melee

    you say dacus i say shffl

  • @tkxl777 I agree with you, but what you say sounds terribly trite (and pretentious).

  • im not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but i need massive and massive help.

    im a 64er/meleer, not a brawler, and im very interested in project M.

    I downloaded the demo, onto my sd card, i put the sd card in, i go to stage builder, nothing happens. just nothing.

    HELP

  • for PAL?

  • FUCKING CORE GAMERS. Am i really the only one that prefers the original smash for its crazy physics and funness?

  • Awesome, i want hard core

  • How long is the Project M website going to be down?

  • Y don't ya just play the original SSBM?

  • @ggxxslash its building on what made melee competitive. take the best of it, mix in a little fresh feeling, and its what brawl should have been

  • @ggxxslash Melee had the physics, Brawl had the extra features and mixing both would make a perfect smash game.

  • @DaAcester

    To be honest, I think the perfect SSB game would be one with actual 2-D mechanics. If Nintendo went right a head and made an actual 2-D fighting game with actual 2-D fighting mechanics I would never put that game down.

  • @ggxxslash youre crazy man, the ssb system IS the game, otherwise it would just be a run of the mill fighter, but this time with incoherent storyline and bland movesets. super smash brothers is unique and that's why everybody loves it

  • i have a question will you be making all characters at least near the level of fox and falco and making meta knight less cheap? haven't been able to play yet but hoping to and the work you've done looks amazing :)

  • can some1 tell me who that cf and that falco at beggining of the video!!

  • I downloaded the demo yesterday, and I have to say that it is AMAZING. I honestly like it more than Melee. You guys did a good job on adding in and taking out things that were needed/unneeded. Sonic's Moonwalk is RAPEEEEE.

  • where can i get this cuz i didnt even know this existed and i loved melee

  • @Jerkey321 i know lol same here

  • @Jerkey321

    Go look up smashmods.

  • As if the project itself wasn't good enough, the trailer makers get bonus points for half of them using swear words as their names.

  • Hehe, love how most of the comments I see now are by Brawl fans. I like Melee more than Brawl, but I still like Brawl. Project M got rid of most of Melee's flaws: the occasional clunky feel, the outdated graphics, etc. and kept the best of Melee (techskills, combos, etc.), as well as some of Brawl's better attributes.

    Both Brawl and Melee are good in their own respect, but in all honesty, f*** Melee AND f*** Brawl, I have Project M!

  • Brawl is not bad. Why do people hate on it? Sure, it doesn't have the feel of Melee, but it added so many nice features. I see this as combining the best parts from both games.

  • ehh I think the Smash Series just keeps getting better and this is just a step backwards... but ohh well i hope for the best with this, it still seems like a pretty cool idea.

  • @syrindigo26 I disagree with you. Nintendo are the ones who took a step backwards when they created Brawl. They made a game that was fun and had good stages plus characters along with a few extra features, but they took out the mechanics in the game that really made it competative. If you take a look at Brawl what mechanics are there that no basic player could perform? What camping and metaknight tornado?

  • If I'm going to be honest I really didn't like melee and I have never really been one to play fighting games competitively which is why I liked brawl so much more than melee I know I'm most likely going to piss people off but to be honest I really don't care at this point I'm tired of this whole brawl vs melee thing and people saying melee is better and only thinking about how melee is better than brawl god you guys are like sonic fans

  • @Bowserboy129 If I may say something...

    Isn't saying you like Brawl better and telling the people who are making this mod that they are "sonic fans" (which I take offense to, Sonic was my first video game) adding to the Brawl vs. Melee debate which you are so tired of?

    The reason they're making this mod is not because they don't think Brawl is fun. They just think it can be more fun.

  • inb4 "hur hur melee is the best and brawl is gay" sitstorm

  • IT'S FINALLY FUCKING OUT

  • I really hope all the characters are more balanced than in Brawl and Melee. Balance is the most important thing the SSB-series is missing.

  • @T4ka92 Balanced is indeed a goal. We already have a decade of Melee results to look at, and have been balancing the game accordingly.

  • are you getting rid of the controversial trips/falls?

  • @tacomang Yes.

  • i still find melee too buggy to be a good fighter game, brawl+ was going in the right direction but too bad it died.

  • @MisterN617 I had more fun with Star Wars Episode 1 Racer.

    That's saying something.

    XD

  • @MisterN617 XD I think if I were forced to develop KAR, I'd have gone a bit bat-shit, too.XD

  • @MisterN617 Hmph. Ya learn something new every day, I guess.

    Well, at least he's still on good terms with Nintendo. That's something, at least. It means if/when they make a new smash bros, his cooperation isn't entirely out of the question...... But I wonder why he'd leave over a game like Kirby's Air Ride? I mean, that game wasn't even very good.....XD

  • @MisterN617 Wait, what?

    When did Sakurai leave Nintendo?

    Source?

  • Oh great the one thing melee did not have the ablilty to grab edges (easily) and jumping but look now.

  • I miss the damage counters in Melee. The new one's are very distracting.

  • Okay uhm someone explain to me in as much detail as possible what exactly this is, and what changes it does to Brawl per se. As far as I've been able to find it makes Brawl more so like melee than either Brawl + or Brawl -, and initally I thought this was brawl minus, making the assumption the M in Project M referred to the wordl Minus, not the word Melee. Please and Thank you.

    P.S - It might be better if you just inbox me about this rather than leaving it as a comment response.

  • This fanboyism is why I lost all appreciation in SSBM.

    Just remember, you are editing FROM a “horrible” game. Yet barely anybody IIRC were able to edit from the “godlike perfect” game. Just saying.

  • To report ROM sites, emulators, Game Copiers, Counterfeit manufacturing, or other illegal activities, please call us at 1-800-255-3700 or e-mail us at piracyscene@noa.nintendo.com

    Done.

  • @anon439 To bad this isn't piracy you stupid idiot.

  • Why would you use Fox's and Falco's old models?

  • brawl has more characters than melee, melee is just... more fun and fast paced and your now floating around waiting to land when your already fast falling...

  • Holy moly, this might actually make me play brawl again. Wonder how I'd be able to mod my brawl to this when it comes out.

  • Brawl > Melee

  • @mavrickindigo Don't even start that.

  • i feel kinda left out >-> as a zelda mainer i always feel like she doesn't get enough credit for anything... i need some kinda of zelda footage of some sort before i even touch P:M what got me to play Brawl+/- was that i saw some nice stuff of zelda got me to try it out but this just looks like a tier fest video.... maybe i am just upset that some decent chars get gimped while others are abused...

  • and THIS

    ...

    is why tourneytards don't deserve brawl!

  • @Muvlonion lol urfunny

  • Is this a hack or will this be on stores? :)

  • @gamer89S Hack. Obviously.

  • @gamer89S *facepalm*

  • @1AndrewTheWolf It was sarcasm...

  • @gamer89S Oh thank goodness.

  • @1AndrewTheWolf Lol. :)

  • @gamer89S I would have facepalmed you otherwise.

  • @1AndrewTheWolf I know you would.. (other related subject) When do you speculate that the next smash. bros game is coming to stores? 2013?, perhaps.

  • @gamer89S Never. this is smash's last run. Therefore we have hacking projects to make our own.

  • @1AndrewTheWolf Oh...

  • @1AndrewTheWolf Doubt that.

    It's been around since the N64 days, and with the success of the series so far, I doubt they'll let it die with Brawl.

    It would be nice if they'd take lessons from Melee, Brawl, and all the hacked versions people have made, though.

    No more graphic engine glitches used for techs, better speed, bring back hit-stun, buff up the low tiers so that tournaments have a wider variety of matches, and most of all, no more Meta-type characters.XD

  • @smashbrolink It was supposed to end at melee. Sakurai just decided to make the sequel

  • @1AndrewTheWolf The only way I'll believe that is when Sakurai shows up on the official site with a quote stating that he didn't intend to make Brawl.XD

  • @1AndrewTheWolf The only way I'll believe that is when Sakurai shows up on the official site with a quote stating that he didn't intend to make Brawl.XD

    So, if they go and make a new Smash for the next console, I'm calling "I told you so" rights, right here.XD

  • @1AndrewTheWolf Oh, and they should improve on the stage editor, too.

    Seriously, if we can improve Brawl so many ways with hacks of our own and practically no budjet, what the hell stopped them?

    Someone should buy the creators a clue.XD

  • @gamer89S Hack,idiot :P

  • @supermario5029 Lol, I know it's a hack.. - _ -. That's why you see a "smiley face" in the end of my comment. idiot. :P

  • Lol so many people have P:M its not even funny, one leaking around AIB

  • @Devandevande It's old as fuck though so who cares.

  • @smk2 Just like my comment is old as fuck? Who cares right...?

  • total epicness!!

  • It's never coming out. T_T Well, eventually but it still feels like forever

  • @caps1in1ya1ass1 I've been waiting for too long. :c I'm just ready to play some Project M.

  • You just can't play a new game with a new gameplay, you have to modify the game to be equal to it's predecessor. You're a total loser

  • Question, the grapple beam of Samus will work as it worked in Melee or as it worked in Brawl? I mean that when you use it the grapple will go automatically to the edge of the scenario or it will grap wherever it touches

  • I had a dream I played Project M and it was really rape.

    SERIOUSLY

  • Fucking badass. I've been playing Brawl+ for like a year & a half and it still doesn't have that melee goodness feel. Its helluva lot better than vanilla brawl, but Project M just looks fucking amazing. I literally have a boner right now. But that could be from the porn I'm also viewing at the moment.

  • @handsock rofl

  • Wow, this is just sad: SSB players seem to have a problem excepting the fact that Nintendo doesn't give two shits about the competitive community.  Yall' should just give up on trying to Frankenstein SSBB and comeplay SSF4, BBCS, AH3, and KOF13 with the real niggas!

  • @ggxxslash It's accepting not excepting. The word you used is a term of exclusion.

  • @cbui88 Cool story.

  • This new game hack will get melee veterans unemployed, divorced and with no child custody.

  • This game will most likely take replace Brawl+ and Brawl- side tournaments. This is a game that I'm willing to play

  • I hope this is balanced unlike melee...

    That means everyone is gonna play at fox and falcos level O.o

  • @Franchan10 not in the balancing phase yet. However that is the general Idea. Everyone won't have shines but for the most part every character will be capable of winning on a high level. Natural bad Match-up's will exist for everyone but the hope is to keep it within 60-40.We don't want to bring back 90-10 Match ups like Sheik vs Pichu lol.

  • @superDEROB15 Fair use. As long as we don't sell it, it's perfectly legal.

  • @ProjectMelee

    Are you absolutely sure about this? Have you contacted nintendo? I think you may be misunderstanding fair use. Just because you won't be making a profit does not make it fair use. My semester of business law tells me that Nintendo could argue that this project dissolutes the SSB's franchise.

    There have been groups that tried to remake Chrono Trigger and they got cease and desist letters from Square Enix shortly before the remakes' release dates.

  • @mcart567 It's legal. 1. nintendo would know about this by now considering the LARGE AMOUNTS of hacks around here. 2. go to Brawl Vault. They host over thousands of hacks and no one ever stopped them. Nothing can stop them because they are doing nothing wrong.

  • @superDEROB15 LMAO!!!! 

  • @superDEROB15 Adding tons of question marks just makes you look like a douche...

  • @superDEROB15 who cares

  • @superDEROB15 Not legal ^^ fair use or not it is clearly stated in each of the product that reverse engineering is prohibited but its not really a problem as nintendoo care more about hacks that actually take money from the company... wait until next smash bros wich will be under the level of quality of the future main hack of brawl nd, jealous, they will fight against it to sell new crap with air tripping, enforced items, and pacman with a one hit kill

    :)

  • Okayyy, I'll admit it.

    You did good, Fox.

  • smash64 and melee were similar in some ways and I didn't hear anyone saying WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS U CAN JUST PLAY 64 so look at it this way... super smash bros melee 2. but with more characters and some changes.

  • brawl + suks balls, but this looks amazing

  • I like how some of the stages were modified to have wider edges to suit melee's fast fall speed. Stage modification was something Brawl+ didn't do quite right.

  • @VangY34311 or at least i hope Project M does this as well: taking stages into consideration of balancing, and add strategical values.

  • Man, I need to start following this on the Smash Boards again.

    You guys did fix that weird as hell Nair animation for Kirby, right? I forget.

  • @vaporchu Not quite yet, been busy with other things of importance.

  • LOL The closest you could get to this in normal Brawl without hacking is going to special Brawl, and turning the gravity on high. It may allow for some combos on the ground at least, and recovery is a bit like melee.

    If only Brawl could have real hitstun, and gameplay that was a bit faster.

  • @Shouxiao The funny thing is, Brawl does have hitstun however Sakurai allowed you to cancel it (the technique dubbed "momentum canceling"). Otherwise, if that was simply disabled, hitstun would equal that of Melee.

  • what song is that?!

  • @GamesRadarFan The Song title is now In the description

  • Hm. I wonder if there'll ever be a Project: 64... I love Brawl and Melee, but Smash 64 has my heart. When people ask me about myself, I show them that game. :P

  • @JRCamo smash 64 sound effects ftw @iLazyMofo and better graphics+replay feature

  • @JRCamo Actually, nearly all the stages/textures have been recreated in brawl. If someone could get 64 mechanics as well, that would be the best.

  • @JRCamo Actually, LinkstheName from brawl vault is recreating 64...he did say he might ask some project m workers to crack the files from 64, but of course, after the project m is over.

  • Wow, I heard about this from a friend, but it looks a million times better than I imagined!! Brawl's great but Melee's physics and style are far superior!!

    Looking fantastic, can't wait till this has it's debut!

    Also it sounds to me like you guys are balancing the characters. I hope so, cause if there was any complaint I ever had about Melee, it had to be it's lack of balance! Aside from that it was a next to perfect game XD

    Also are you making a Mewtwo PSA for Lucario on the side for this?

  • @ChaosInvokerX Melee is the most balanced game...

  • @Lahtios

    I think Brawl+ wins this contest!

  • @Lahtios Physicswise, Melee is indeed the most balanced of Smash games. In terms of tiers and matchups? Not really. There's a looooot of reeeally reeeealy bad matchups in Melee even within tiers. 64 is hard to judge by matchups due to how broken every attack in the game is in general, while Brawl mainly suffers matchup imbalances between tiers (although most matchups IN a tier are reasonably close).

  • I don't get it. Falco was a fox clone back then. And even Ganon was a clone of captain falcon.

  • I think Brawl +/- are horrible, but I'll definitely try this out. It looks great!

  • I like where this is going. There is no replacement for Melee, but for a quick fix, or for those that simply do not like Brawl or Melee, this should be Great!

  • meta knight is alredy broken in brawl. But project m will make meta knight GODLIKE.

  • @xZlicex Metaknight is currently mid tier or something like that. Heavy gravity plus not having the ability to auto-snap to the edges means Metaknight is just average. That and the fact that his tornado doesn't beat everything anymore.
