Is Sonic any good in Project M? What did they change for him?

Some of his moves have been changed. His f-air went from his spinning attack into a kick similar to Snake's f-air. Spikes people, too. His down-smash is something similar to Mario's down-smash now. I think he can jump-cancel stuff too, but I forget.

EDIT: Panda's got it covered.

Exactly!

I like some of the changes they made to those characters, though I never really played them in Brawl. Wario getting his shoulder tackle is neat. The Lucario specific combo thing is pretty cool too.
I think some of the changes to Lucario were good, but changing his n-air and f-tilt were completely unnecessary. Those were two of his best normals, and now they're just garbage.

Would you say that Melee > Project M > Brawl, Beef?
If I were to rank them based off of how much fun I had playing them, then i would put them like this: Brawl > Project M > Melee
Design-wise, it'd probably be Melee > Brawl = Project M
 
This is what I wanted to hear most.

As a former Sonic fan, his alt colours (if you can even call them that) disappointed the shit out of me. How do you fuck up so bad when you have so many other Hedgehogs
and fan art
to pull from?

I had the same question when asking about the Pokemon characters and how they lack their "shiny" coloring.
 
Yeah, never forget:

GunbladeZ
GunbladeX
maybe another gunblade

RIP

I think Gunblade got both his accounts banned in like 3 minutes tops. Oh man that had me in tears

I think there is no ST because HD remix didn't come out in Japan.
 
Apparently ASUS is branding their monitors used at the SF25 tourney as the "EVO Monitor". They don't sponsor EVO so a few feathers are rustled right now

I would think Evo would be cool with the recognition.
I have never seen Asus brand it as such, though I do see stores call it the "EVO" monitor with quotations.
 
Tune in to LevelUp's stream for Persona 4 Arena! I'll be there!

Subscribers will have a chance to win one of these!

So erm, I just got an email from Twitch.tv to reset my password because someone else tried to reset it.

I barely use the stream chat, wat.
 
On that topic a couple of pages back about which games will stick around, personally i find it easier to pick up games that are also fun to spectate. With most ASW games, and also VF, i don't really enjoy spectating but i buy them and give them a shot. For me the best game to watch and play is mvc3, and i think TTT2 is also pretty entertaining to watch. But yeah i can usually tell if I'll like a game just by watching a few match videos.
 
Stream works fine for me.

Goddamn, when Shadow Labrys is being used, I don't know what is going on. It makes Marvel seem easy to understand.
