"Professional" Smash Bros players make a Melee clone

Professional players making games seems like the most horrible idea. It's never once worked well for them.

All the successful ones people love come about as games where the devs have an idea and do their best to impliment it, but the people who play it decide what's fun about it and how it should be played "properly". Pro players approach game design the other way around, and the results reflect it.

We have to go back.

It'll fail horribly. Smash is only popular for its multitude of popular franchises combined into one game. This game trying to emulate smash's success without popular/well-known characters will only fail.

The music is what kills it for me. It's the most boring type that I can't quite name. Smash is just filled to the brim with iconic music and this shit doesn't hold a flame.

I mean if you will copy a game at least add something to it that will differentiate it and make it better in some way

>>384231762
The Ganondorf is the most obvious rip off for me.

Well, it's pre-alpha so it's basically "shit we cobbled together to show the project isn't dead". A lot could change. It will probably stay as-is and release with a fanfare of wet farts and some pity mentions in the latest indie round-ups.

Pros:

>Plays like Smash, finally PM team can finally stretch further than just PM mods and updates

Cons

>The designs on this game looks like another generic Overwatch clone

Am I the only one who thinks this can actually look like a decent Smash clone? Rivals of Aether is fun but I hate the fucking furry shit. Brawlout is currently in Early Access and who knows what will happen for that game.

Nintendo doesn't give a rats ass about eSports. They have the bad outdated Grandpa syndrome not knowing what's currently trendy so they have zero support to the Smash community.

Knowing that the PM people are working on it and has positive praise behind it, how can anyone dislike it at this point? They've proven themselves time and time again they can make a successful Melee mod over Smash Bros. Brawl why give this one a negative look? I understand, the design on the game looks generic as fuck.

I'd say give it a chance. If Nintendo is not going to keep a Smash scene alive lets make it this one.

>>384233474

>sued to hell by EA eventually

If someone should sue them, it's Nintendo. I mean, how could get away with something like that?

>>384236034
>A lawsuit from Nintendo is gonna happen I guarantee it.

You mean like how Nintendo sued Sega for having Sonic being a platformer? Fucking retard.

>>384235952
KH makes it work because SE and Disney have some special magic when it comes to aesthetics and production values. They also took the time to adapt character costumes to a more consistent look (simplified FF character designs for the most part) between the franchises while ALSO doing something entirely unique in regards to MC, the story, and the original areas. It wasn't a complete success- Disney and FF are an unholy combination no matter how palatable you make the experience, and the favoritism towards Disney in the deal is fucking awful. But they made it work in the end, and the rest is history.

Idol, however, is just melee fanboy wanking. They cribbed ideas for everything from everywhere and instead of making something unique out of them, it's obvious that they copied specific elements and changed them just enough to avoid getting some bloodthirsty lawyers on their asses. I bet Nintendo already knows about this is and is asking their legal department if they can send a C&D over the animations alone.

Yeah, but Dota is a fundamentally different game than Warcraft, so there was actually demand for a commercial splinter. This shit is a knockoff and they're using their pedigrees as free modders to push it.

>>384236368
I'm not complaining about it, but I sure as hell think the alpha was unimpressive and obviously uninspired. Hopefully they will do better by the next time they release a trailer.

>>384236708
Because it doesn't have a competitive scene, duh!

>>384236682
???

>>384225386
Did they not realize that the only reason people play Smash games in the first place is that they have Nintendo characters in them?

Smash without beloved characters from other games is basically just a really shit game. I mean seriously, very few people play Smash games for their "stunning gameplay". They play them because Mario can beat the shit out of Link.

Take away the recognizable, beloved characters and all that's left is a mediocre party game with fighting mechanics.

>>384236284

Try to stay focused. EVO wouldn't be bowing to shit if Icons were released in 2001 instead of Melee. Whatever staying power these games have with the special interest contingent, we know what the overwhelming draw has always been.

Both Brawl and Tr4sh were successful, so he's not wrong.

>>384236876
He's right and you know it.

>>384236953
But they are also good games, and Smash 4 is easily the best in the series with no real competition.

>>384225386
If they changed the characters and the sound I would actually play it.

>>384236834
They are not making this game for that audience. They are making it for people that plays melee/pm. Which are playing it for the gameplay and not "lmao mario and link in the same game xD".

Their showing at e3 proves otherwise. That and their ongoing support for Smash.

Maybe it is. But my point is that they are not trying to make a game with the same target audience as nintendo. They are going for the esport side of smash. Competitive smash is pretty big nowadays so they see a future in this genre.

Online multiplayer involves having servers and people to maintain them, which is beyond the means of most indie budgets. It's much simpler and cheaper to make single-player or local co-op games.

If they wanted any kind of positive reception they should have just tightened the animations of 2 characters and went with that instead of making 4 half assed characters

>waah waaah knockoff

oh fuck you all. nintendo blatantly avoids making a smash that works in any resemblance to melee/PM, so for fuck's sake a smash clone that actually inherited the unique aspects of PM without having the ever-constant threat of C&D is what WE SHOULD WANT.

if you want to get mad at it, go after the uninspired name, the blizzard/lLoL/Chinese f2p knockoff artstyle, the character designs, the shitty LoL model they're trying to replicate or that at this stage, the animations look exactly like Melee (but holy shit guys, the Pre-Alpha label clearly means that they're placeholders).

i won't hate for them making a melee clone but fuck, they've played their hand way too early here.

I'll call it a knockoff when it does literally nothing new and doesn't use it's advantage of being a TOTALLY new game to do some fixes to the game's core mechanics that'll be useful, you know, for example, slow character being inherently useless in Melee.

meleefags are abominable

>what is pre-alpha

don't get me wrong, i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt at this stage, but i'd like to think that they'd be capable of doing something like completely replicating Marth mechanically but changing every one of the animations, and that the current character just has placeholder animations identical to him for now. there's at least some effort put into doing it like that. if they keep to the shamelessly copy-pasted stuff like we've seen from the pre-alpha footage they've clearly shot themselves in the foot and deserve every bit of shit they get.

>>384240046
>what is pre-alpha
A buzzword to justify your game looking like hot garbage despite not looking any different from release. You want a real "pre-alpha"? Look at UT4. The maps were fucking geometries only. There was like 1 character model.

>>384240046
Animation bro here.

If they went through the issue of completely ripping a characters entire animation set for a specific set of combat animations chances are it's there to stay.

You don't really have "Placeholder" Animations. It costs way to much time.

They're going to need something to make this stand out from Sm4sh. Even Overwatch had the large character roster and availability on multiple platforms to sell itself.

don't get me wrong, I get that, but all the same the animations that exist currently look astoundingly similar to the quality of the unfinished Sami/Lyn/Issac builds from the unreleased PM stuff. i wouldn't put it past them to keep them as uninspired as they are, but I won't rule out someone suddenly thinking that this is probably not the best idea and changing it up a bit.

Melee deserved better than a death this terrible.

>>384240387
If someone like that existed, it would have never gotten to this point. At most you can maybe pray that they'll eventually make new chars that aren't just clones from the smash games, but honestly I kind of doubt it.When making a trailer, you lead with your good foot, and if this is the best they can do then thats not showing promise.

Memelee is a fucking joke.

Why they always play on that one borefest map? Its not a fucking streetfighter or mortal kombat. Or is it because muh cant handle anything but a flat ground and no map hazards?

>>384243390
They can't play real fighting games but want to pretend they can.

>>384239747
Holy shit, he is fucking right. There are more Melee shitposters than Melee players.

>>384239029
Depends on the expections. If I had worked in the game I'd knew that it would have gotten a bad reception since it has the Battleborn graphics with a copy paste of gameplay and the trailer screamed generic

>>384243649
Figures, i always wondered why they play the same shitty map when they have so many actually good maps to choose from.

I think smash 4 is fun, I just like playing melee more. This game has no style, no grace. And I hate the idea of taking away defensive options.

This game looks boring in every way and most definitely will not have characters streamkids think are "boring"

I'm interested in Gun Man because he is very clearly a composite of multiple different characters.

I'll also main girl Marth because she's pretty.

why didnt they just do characters from different countries?

>>384245407
I would buy this game but it needs more dlc characters.

The character design is so bad that I literally want to volunteer despite having zero experience because I know I can do better than these guys, and that wouldn't salvage the fact the game is too derivative from a single source. I understand that Melee/Project M is the blueprint but why retread the same old ground when you could look at Arcade, Arena and other platform fighters to give it a competitive spin. There are so many different ways to do this but they chose such an aggressively Western way to do it.

never ever let the players make the game

>>384246120
Whats worse is they'll just copy and paste my listed characters except without the "lame" shit they took a cursory glance at onto some fucking awfully designed piece of garbage

i knew it, i fucking KNEW it as soon as i saw the mang0goat character that these people were fucking idiots and have no idea how to make fighting game character designs

I'm genuinely curious to see how this one works out. I don't want to play the game and I couldn't give less of a shit about the character designs but I really want to see if this game succeeds or not.

Because you have these guys who worked on a well renown and respected Brawl hack that believe they can make something bigger and better than their previous work (not talking about playerbase mind you). And all the people who will follow them and see how it goes.

But how many of those people are there? A lot of people play Smash because of the characters and the great crossover idea (not too different from Marvel, and why so many people are memeing the functions thing) but these people would be considered the "casuals". The ones who don't care enough for the depth of Melees combat and other comments you might find about it.

Then you have the turbo melee fans who think Project M is "not melee enough" and of course, won't follow the game because of its core is flawed to begin with.

I can see the pro smash players giving this game a try, and maybe they'll like it (a lot of them play both Melee and 4), but what I'm curious about is if the audience will follow. I'm sure that there are plenty that will because some unironically care not about the game and just love to see this one dude playing it. But will the numbers reach at the very least something that can be compared to Melee? Will there be as many tournament attendants?

This game could be used for some interesting arguments that are going around lately (again, functions).

>>384246253
I think we'll know if these people are competent when we get our hands on Gun Man. Considering he's their only original character, whether or not he plays good will be telling.

Didn't someone say some of the characters are specifically designed to look like a few of the Melee gods like Hungrybox, Mango and M2K?

>>384246719
They really just need to sell it to casual gamers and get it on consoles as fast as they can. Putting it on Pro/Xbone-x would get it some spotlight.

It's called being an inarticulate me me spouting retard. I don't like OW's designs, but at least they have standards. This level of uninspired can only come from completely not giving a shit about visual design or being Gearbox.
