Project M dev team/art crew just announced a few alts including a contender for one of the best alts ever:

Edit: I just realized how hypocritical it is of me to be cool with this despite hating their use of Castlevania properties for a stage in their stage list.
 
Hahahaha, Infiltration's K-Brad impression is great. Is there a story or something behind "I hope you like dicks"? Is that what he actually said? It was so random that I feel like I'm missing out on some context.

During the Ultra, English Yun says "I hope you like this!" So it's possible he knew that's what it sounded like lol
 
I remember the PM folks stating they wouldn't go outside of franchises already represented in brawl. I guess they figure it limits the chances of getting C&D'd

well they aren't making a profit right? nintendo is cool with people doing whatever with their characters as long as a profit isnt made. i remember this programmer who recreated super mario bros in html and was doing fine on nintendo's radar until he added a donation button.
 
let's see how much this Eventhubs "tier list" for Smash 4 bounces around

bets on at least one character swinging up and down 10 spots within a week
 
As much as I like the stage itself, it really does stick out when all the other modded in stuff fits in pretty damn well.



Anyone up for Smash?

I just added your 2 friend codes. If you're still up for some games tonight, I'll play.

Edit: Oh weird, why is it on time, Azure J? I thought I was the host lol

I would say it would have the opposite effect and give unrepresented characters exposure, possibly causing Sakurai to rethink future rosters if Project M ever gets popular enough.

Also, wasn't a work-in-progress of Sami leaked awhile back?
 
Dang I think it's safe to say Soul Calibur has now equalized (or even surpassed) DOA in the fan service department:

Forget about sword fighting in bikini armor, regular bikini is the way to go.
Also, is that just an alt or a new character? Can't figure out who she is!

Oh hey, Mari Shimazaki, the Bayonetta character designer.
That's not her first time designing stuff for SC too. She designed an Ivy alt which looked like something Bayonetta would wear, even more so than this one.
 
Excitement dropped. lol

Oh well. 2 more months until the full game in Japan.

Might be wrong on this- they say you can play arcade mode or tutorial mode, so assuming normal arcade mode rules, somebody else will likely be able to join even though there won't be a proper vs. mode in the demo.

Really don't want to have to import this, so I hope that the game's still on track for a 2014 release in NA. They did recently say it's slated for this holiday...

And then I'll need a PS4 stick. Mad Catz said that the P4AU TE2 is slated for "this holiday" as well.
 
I'll play you after Azure J.



Also I don't mind whatever rules, Azure J. I was confused on thinking I was host or something lol

Heh, I don't know what happened with the rules there. It was my first foray into online Smash 4. The play was pretty nice although there was some choppiness here and there (mostly my fault though, forgot that people were using Netflix/streaming near me). I'm still playing this game like it's Project M where I can space with short hop aerials or run in with crouch tilts all the time. I feel like I was adapting better in the latter part of that short set with you, but all of the anti-clutch kicked in when my slide pad started getting locked/stuck in the down position despite me trying to recover/mix up recoveries.

That Water Shuriken custom is so nuts for how many combo options it opens up with 'ninja. I also know you liked that near ceiling KO with Hydro Pump on Yoshi's Island Omega. :lol

Sol and Ky only for the xrd demo T_T

Eww, when will FG devs make demos that don't include the driest of the characters in their rosters? :P
 
Looks like you can only play against the cpu and you can only play on easy difficulty.

It says (Google Translate :p) that there's a "tutorial mode" and an "arcade mode" like you said. And that you'll be required to sign into PSN in order to start the demo which I guess is how they're going to prevent people from playing it past this month.

Can't wait.

I'm hoping so too. It'd be a really bad idea to miss the holiday season.

Yeah, got to play it a bit differently, haha. Playing it like Brawl with Melee off the stage edgeguarding is working out for me right now. The game is fun though, and I'm liking it. There's a lot of specifics I still need to get used to. Mainly which moves auto cancel or know how to efficiently punish certain moves after shielding.

I'm not sure if Hydro Pump (at least the default) at kill people at the top of the screen. I think blast zones at the top require people to be launched and encounter hitstun? I can't remember.
 
Famitsu has more info- single player only for the xrd demo T_T

More bare bones than I expected but it'll be enough to hold me over till December.

I'm hoping so too. It'd be a really bad idea to miss the holiday season.

The latest note about the release date said "holiday season". Doesn't the holiday season technically extend into early next year? If so they could get away with a 2015 release with that wording.
