Wow, this shit looks like Battleborn if it was trying to be Playstation All-Stars.

Project M already exists and is way better than this shit to boot. Why would I bother playing it?

What exactly made them think this would be successful?
Isn't the main draw of Smash is to be playing your favorite character from "game"

Well, now all the Smash/Meleefags can say they play this type of game because of the pro-mechanics, and not because its a casual party game with popular video game characters as playable heroes.

There are only two past members of the Project M team on the Wavedash team to my knowledge. They weren't even the ones who had the original idea, they were just brought on because they had a better idea than most as to how platform fighters play and how to develop, balance, and animate for them.

That shit is china tier

>>384741234
The problem is that nobody ever makes a smash clone with characters that are actually recognizable.

That and the gameplay is generally trash because people see "oh, it's a platformer where you lose by ring-outs" but they don't understand the nuances that made Smash so much fun to play.

Like even going from Melee to Brawl, you can tell that the latter is an obvious fucking downgrade in terms of gameplay to the former, which is why the community died once P:M and Sm4sh became better alternatives.

>>384741696
That can't be right.

Fighting polygon team looks way more distinct.

>Smash Brothers but without the iconic characters
Literally what's the point

>>384741972
That's true, even for good SSB-like games like Rivals of Aether, with the characters being like generic deviantart-tier pixel art.

In practical terms, the characters are all at least trying to be unique in terms of design and presentation, the gameplay works well as a more aggressive form of smash bros, the only thing wrong with it is that nobody is going to play a game with under 10 characters when they have games like Melee, Sm4sh, or P:M which boasts an exponentially higher cast of characters.

If I would give a guess as to why this looks so shit its likely that only a small part of the dev team are crossovers from PM.There were a number of sour PM dev members on forums when news broke, enough to leak unfinished content, so its not much of a stretch to say that probably most of them left.

No one except maybe HAL is talented enough to make a worthy successor to Melee. Not Sakurai with Sora, not PMDT in its prime, DEFINITELY not a couple sellout PMDT members on a new team full nobodies and League of Legends artists, no one. Even Sakurai has admitted Melee only ended up the way it did because not only did they WANT it to be fast and technical, they'd work like 40 hours straight and sleep for 4 trying to get the game done. You're not going to get that kind of dedication anymore, especially not from a bunch of indie millennials who can't go an hour without checking their social media feeds. They're not familiar with how the physics work, they're not familiar with how the ECB diamonds work, not even the top players are really, only HAL had a complete understanding of the wizardry that went into the game, but you don't have to understand it to play and watch Melee and FEEL what's right about it. People have been studying and documenting Melee for years and were still discovering new stuff as of last year like V-canceling and light powershield.

Melee fans would rather run Melee into the ground for the few years it has left in it than jump ship to a game that doesn't live up to Melee. They didn't want Brawl, they didn't want PM, they didn't want Smash 4, they don't want Icons, I'll be the first to tell you it's a waste of time trying to pander to them because chances are you're not going to get it right anyway.

I'm getting really sick of these "hero" style rosters that don't seem to understand the concept of cohesion.

People rip on Overwatch's cast for being a bunch of stereotypes, but the fact that they're stereotypes works in the setting's favor. Basically every character is an archetype with IN THE FUTURE slapped in front of it.

>Cowboys IN THE FUTURE
>Knights IN THE FUTURE
>Dwarves are real and IN THE FUTURE

Battleborn and this shit make the mistake that a cohesive plot and backstory are secondary and they can throw whatever they want into the game and it will make sense because other games do it. Except other games don't do it. Other games hire a fucking writing team to make all this shit make sense and keep characters that clash with the theme out of the game.

Quake is gonna be redesigned aesthetically but his gameplay won't change. The stage needs slightly better texturing though. But yea I need to crowdfund to actually hire artists and pay modelers.

Yea thats the problem with those types of characters, ones with very unique gameplay patterns that is. Like I could already see that you would need massive amounts of hours to know how to place the clone in advantageous positions. Its also a free get out of jail free card if knocks up or off the stage so people will get upset about that. A maximum range will probably be needed to swap, if you haven't already put that in.

I see once you change to the other clone, the other gets grounded or falls down, he could make it so if one clone falls you loose a stock, or make it so one falls that one dies, and the other gets heavily gimped like the ice climbers, or that you can only change while being standing on a platform

Also it really doesnt look to complex, mostly cause if you dont have the clone positioned well, you dont get punished or anything, you just loose combo/setup potential, but its a potential other characters dont have anyway

>>384744626

She can't swap while stunned, and the clone transfers half damage. I do like t he idea of maximum swap range.

>>384756884
Characters like this need a disadvantage in some way because they get an extra advantage with their unique abilities. Usually this comes in the form of bigger models, less damage, takes more damage, etc. So not using the clone optimally will mean you are technically just playing a straight up weaker class than others.

>>384756995

>>384757304
Hitting the clone tranfers half of the damage to the main or active shadow. So you can't just leave your clone vulnerable, it's also an approach to fighting her where you chase her clone down trying to bait a bad swap. It's an interesting little meta that developed.

What game is this?

>>384758231
It's called Melee Masters. I haven't done a lot of formal promotion as I work on character design. Gameplay is all set though.

>>384742543
It's funny that freedom planets' biggest detractors are sonic fans.

>>384751325
>Better than melee.
Calm down champ. You're shit indie game will never reach the heights of melee.

>>384741234
for most of the "fans"

actually looking at the trailer , it looks ok. at least it will be an alternative to saying "hey do you guys want to buy a Wii U to play smash with me? "

then they say no and I never play smash with my friends. if its basically smash with differetn characters then it should be a good game. Though everything looks kind of stiff and boring from the trailer. they're on the right track , even though its a rip off like paladins was to overwatch.

Smash has been going downhill in terms of sounds too, honestly.
>Smash will never have 64-tier SFX again

>chase her clone down trying to bait a bad swap
That is pretty cool actually, however it could be potentially annoying if you have to spend the entire match in a minigame of hunting the clone or having to vs ranged characters popping shots all day at your clone. Im interested in playing one day and finding out myself as experience is better than theory crafting all day. Good luck with the game dude, show it to /v/ again sometime.

Please don't pull a notch and stuff us for reddit when cancer new fags spew shit, they don't know any better.

>>384758463
I know that, I just want to able to play melee on the pc with friends since they all moved away.

And I want shit characters to not be shit and get buffs as they should not some shithole devs that don't know anything about game balance and takes years to make changes.

>>384758726
Thanks friendo.

>>384755497

Because everyone is so fucking tired of Meleefags (and a slightly lesser degree ProjectM fags) constantly trying to push their retarded, outdated agenda about a 15+ year old game.
Even if this game does a get a small scene of competitive players, their going to be just as fucking cancerous and elitist as meleefags currently are.

Any ranged characters yet?

>>384740601
I'm sick of retards on /v/ thinking Overwatch invented the art-style it has or any of its character designs. That game hasn't an original bone in its body.

>>384758206
>If those aren't placeholders, that alone will kill this as a fighting game.
They are. The game's a year into development and the video literally says beta. It's just that the majority of people lack critical thinking skills and thus unironically think this is the final product.

>>384759837
Quake(Golem guy) has a lot of range, I just didn't show it off.

Next character is a bow-user.

>>384759823
Sorry, working on VFX and character redesigns.

>>384760038
"beta" usually means most of it is going to stay and they're just doing bugfixing and balance tuning

if they plan on replacing all of the assets (they weren't, but might now) that's more of a pre-alpha

>>384760064
>Sorry, working on VFX and character redesigns.
Can I just play the old version?

>>384760102
Beta means anything in this day and age because companies have had games in alpha or beta stage but released openly anyway for years. If PM is anything to go by, they'll change it drastically by the time it's "finished."

>>384758206
Sounds are the easiest thing to fix last. I'd be worried about those boring ass characters because there's no way they can redesign them without wasting months.

>>384753150
Legal pressure of course

>>384760064
Yeah I can see the rock combos, I remember you said he was closer to snake though. I'm talking maybe a link or samus which it sounds like the bow user will be.

>>384748000
Get a jap to dot our character designs. Please.

Is it gonna be f2p? Ps4?

The art is shit but I can deal with shit art.

The crime is that the gameplay so far looks sluggish compared to the game it's supposed to be ripping off. I want it to be good but so far it's unimpressive, they should have waited longer before reveal.

Also they need to be more creative with stage layouts from what I've seen. A lot more DeSu

>>384760136
Fine

But it's coming down tommorow, also don't touch the input window on the launcher. I fixed quite a few bugs in this. Nyxa's upb recovery was wonky, and DI had a major issue, if you were grounded, the game could think you are in the "running" state while stunned and limit your knockback velocity to your max run speed. a lot of other stuff too. note: umbri's ai doesn't work.

>>384760832
He is.(or at least his style is)
Not f2p but it'll be like $15 max. I can't support f2p as that requires a team of artists to make skins and support a f2p ecosystem.

>>384761132
Thanks senpai. By the way, does it have Gamecube controller support?

>>384761103
its beta footage tho

>>384761174
yes, if you are using the official wii-u adapter you need to use GCN and Vjoy, it's also kinda fucked up because It's impossible to natively support that particular adapter through unity, I'd have to write my own driver like dolphin does. Use the defaults on everything. until you are in-game. the in-game pause menu lets you configure your controller.

mayflash works out of the box though.

>>384761464
Beta means feature complete, in the last stages of polishing.

>>384761464
Yeah and if the beta looks kinda weak you should probably hold off on it until it's improved and polished since it's going to be what's representing the game to everyone.

>>384761174
>>384761503

I'd recommend just using an xbox controller. also if you do use an xbox controller, make sure gcn/vjoy are off, and make sure the vjoy driver isn't active on your device manager.

>>384761503
If I've got it working on Rivals of Aether I shouldn't have any problems right?

>>384761680
I know it isn't a Melee clone, but as a Melee player it'd feel too weird to play without a Gamecube controller

>>384761683
idk man it's super finicky and i have no control over anything besides what vjoy sends in. My controller default have the control sticks maxing at an input of 0.8 in all directions, it should be fine. ignore the launcher inputs window.

>>384761745
feels better tbqh

>>384752512
Everything that isn't hyper-realistic now "looks like Overwatch" because once Blizzard makes a game everything after that is ripping off Blizard.

Alright I'm going to sleep if you have any issues with that demo it's most likely on your end as I've tested this locally on my gcn/vjoy, mayflash and xbox, or there's a problem writing to your appdata folder or something. have """fun"""

The actual gameplay looks fun but the animations and sounds are clearly unfinished. They're making a big mistake doing a Steam release though because the interest in the game will die down and it'll be flooded with negative reviews when it's in an unfinished state.

They need to have a closed beta signup and host it on their own site. And then when they actually are super close to finished they put it on Steam just like what Gigantic's devs did.

It's too bad there doesn't seem to be a way to contact them and tell them not to release on Steam. Their game's going to end up dead in the water within a year if they do.

>>384762490
64 is horseshit competitively and outdated casually, so yeah, it's good for the time but relatively bad.

I mean, you can say something in the Discord, but I doubt that they will listen so some random nigga. I'm willing to bet they're gonna do a shitload of skins that'll cost money and they want the Steam userbase.

More proof that kids only play trash bros because of the nintodler characters and not because of the gameplay

>>384761132
This is actually really fun. A million things need to be tweaked really heavily before it's great (I get the feeling Umbri's dash attack is way prealpha) but the spark is there anon.
Also, add more jumpsquat frames. To everyone.

I'll be getting my paycheque come Monday to officially end my life as a NEET, so if you decide to go to Kick starter, I'll commit to supporting you. You'll probably get more attention for outdoing Wavedash games at their own game.

Just please, if it becomes successful and big, don't let the success go to your head and go crazy with the milestones. Keep your project to the point please.

For some reason I thought of Bloodstained as a SOTN style Castlevania.
No idea why, as I've seen gameplay of it.
