Nah. Skullgirls had a bunch of sexualised female characters and an interesting artstyle, would have been better received than this even if it were a Smash clone instead of a MvC2 clone. This just screams "generic".
Wow, generalizing me, my friends, and an entire community as arrogant assholes based solely on a post on a forum. Great look here.
Does it matter that its a mod, or that it appeals to what any of the what the Smash fanbase wants? Im going to make a bold claim here.
Project M can be universally enjoyed, because you can do an all out, 4 player battle with your favorite Nintendo characters. You can pick up items to gain the edge on your foes, and choose stages from your favorite franchises.
Can you in any way explain how this is unfun, or in the words of your original post, what was excluded to make this less fun than in any other context?
Wanted to wait with posting until I can decide on an avatar, but meh whatever :D
Played it at two consecutive gamescoms with my friends and we all really did like it. (Personally, the first time was my highlight of the show, especially chatting with one of the devs)
@gameexplain review: I am surprised, that they are surprised it's a smash clone. Of course it is!
And I don't think there is a better smash clone out there. Hope it sells well on switch

Maybe, but not me. That game had some cool designs, they didn't just look like random Bratz dolls.
I'm not an expert and I can't comment on all the super technical stuff, but as a casual player it *feels* closer to Melee than Brawl or Smash 4. It's kind of fast and TTK is definitely on par with Melee.
As far as the differences go, biggest one would be the lack of shield and regular throws. Instead, it has dodges, special grabs and a meter that you can spend for a sort of a Guilty Gear burst when half full or for rage mode when full.
It is closer to PlayStation Battle All-Stars than it is to Melee, imo.
Uhhh, well that makes me way less interested. Hype deflated lol
They are 100% wrong lol.
You can kill your opponent by knocking them off and you can Melee-like edge guard. Burst also makes the game really hype and makes me wish Melee has a mode with a similar feature.
Thanks for the feedback Ababol and Natedrake.
Slightly dissapointed about it though, the shield and grab mechanics are crucial to what make Smash enjoyable for me. I quite like the character designs though and the animations are more fluid than other platform fighters.
I haven't played Melee (been out of the Nintendo game for a long time prior to Switch), but it doesn't really feel like PSAS to me - and I've played quite a bit of that. This seems slower and more precision than that.
For what is worth, I completely disagree with that statement. It's definitely a Smash clone and nothing like PS All-Stars.
It looked fine from the trailer but I can't remember seeing any power ups or weapons or such. That would be a huge oversight and I'm guessing minimize longevity with casuals.
So you can't block in this game? No grab as odd but no blocking is a no buy. Or am I confusing block with bubble style shield?
There is no block or grab. You can dodge. The only thing even resembling a block is when you use the Rage mechanic to disrupt a combo.
Some characters have stuff that's like a block or grab though. Juan can suplex his enemies, and Hyper Light Drifter can drive his sword into the ground to interrupt enemies - for example.
Uhh broham?, the game's original design did have some major flaws. And I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed the removal of random tripping.
It's gonna do pretty well digital wise i think, especially since it can be a temporary smash fix untill the real game drops.
Yup. :P A friend of mine had this in his vita, so I got curious.
So Melee wasn't successful with casual players? Smash wasn't a beloved game until Brawl then? And Melee wasn't silly with Pichu vs Ganondorf using silly items?
You're the one who started with the poor attitude..
Jesus.. The entitlement and hypocrisy of this post is astounding.
So I was on the JPN eShop and uhh... Apparently Brawlout is, well, out? Lol
It's not out on the US eShop, though.

Basically why they weren't worth responding to, lol.
I really think the comparisons to PSASBR is ridiculous. I saw it in the other thread, there really isn't anything that similar aside from the fact that they are both platform fighters. Burst can be used aggressively and defensively and players can be edge guarded at low percents. PSASBR you needed to use meter to kill characters and combos only existed to build meter faster. The pace and feel of the game is definitely closer to PM then Melee, but not even in the same realm as PSASBR. I guess the characters do look like generic PS2 era designs, but that's really about it.
Hope people give it a fair shot, it's definitely more accessible than Melee and PM if that makes people feel better.
Doesnt look that great so far?
The art is really clean but it has this.... uh whats the look..... oh! It kinda looks blocky like Frozen lol.
The menu look like PS All stars lol

I preloaded this and bought Hammerwatch for some multiplayer with my girlfriend on my flight tomorrow.
Any idea when it's supposed to go live? I'm leaving at around 7 tomorrow for Cincinatti. I'd like it to be fully up before then.

The game is fast and feels pretty decent to play. But and this is a big but, it hitches every few seconds in handheld mode. It's pretty jarring to be mid combo of trying to reach a ledge and then the match jumps forward about a second. Ive only played quick matches against the cpu.
If that gets patched up I think I'd enjoy it.
