At about 1:48, when they show off the new Din's Fire.

The following is a combination of my opinion and facts, and I'm going to say it plain and simply, and trust me, it's gonna get offensive:

Based on speculation of all the data gathered about Project M's demise, Ryan Morrison is a talentless, arrogant, insecure hack cool beans guy who is most likely the catalyst to the ending of Project M's development, however, the Project M Development Team could potentially get back together and continue working on the game if they most or all wanted to.

Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying he's a bad person or that he's literally hitler or anything like that, but he's certainly too young and takes the law at face value to have been credible enough for the Project M Development Team to disband.

First of all (and this is something that anyone living in the USA should know): The Law isn't designed to protect corporations or the government. It's designed to protect the innocent. Some laws are simpler than others, of course you're going to get jailed if you're commit murder in cold blood, but Project M's case is much more complex than the level of cognitive effort that VGA probably put forth. There are tons of loopholes in the law that are designed to bring forth moral justice. Project M, if it were to be involved in any type of legal case, would certainly win under the pretense that:

1. The NTSC-U version of Super Smash Bros Brawl is trademarked in America, and therefore international/Japanese copyright law is not applicable under any case as the modification of American Software. Project M completely falls under Fair Use according to the U.S. Copyright law.

2. Even if Project M were in a legal grey area, or outright illegal (which it in all honesty could very well be DESPITE DMCA/FU laws), then the absolute benefit Project M has on the company would be enough to sway jury's and judges that Nintendo of America have no real argument to give a C&D to PM or fine the creators.

Based on his AmA alone, ignoring the fact he's a newbie, we can tell his approach to the law is incredibly simplistic and taken at face value. Let's dissect an example:

No. That's the firs legal myth I ever saw online. Owning the cartridge doesn't mean you can download the rom

He's correct. Not just technically or semantically, he's completely correct. However, given the case that you could not possibly prove that the rom/iso was ripped directly from the cartridge/disk you own, then no corporation would ever go to court for this because there's no possible way of winning. This is the type of loophole that benefits civilians and allows for innovation and moral victory. If this guy were my defense attorney in such a case, I would lose in a heartbeat because of how by-the-books he is. Why would the PMDT put such faith in him?

Last, but not least, billing oneself as the ultimate "VideoGameAttorney" has ramifications that most don't see. With such a persona, videogame corporations have the upperhand on anyone who goes to him for advice, because the title alone will attract the majority of smaller, ignorant investors/creators and therefore it is in a mega corporations interest to behave a certain way. For example, the only person it potentially benefits from being told that it is illegal to download a free copy of a game despite owning the original is the person who created the original game. This alone should demolish any credibility he has as an attorney.

TL;DR:

The VideoGameAttorney is either wrong about Project M's legal stance or the PM developers decided to not take his advice on "hey project m's legal bros" and shut down anyway. PMDT could definitely get back together and continue developing the game, and finally, the VideoGameAttorney has no legal credibility.

If this post is removed because it offends the moderators or former PMDT, then it will likely be posted elsewhere.

for the time being I want to call this the ''R Roll''. Basically when you roll you have this small window of about 8 frames in which you can roll again essentially making this a double roll. This is good for mixups and head games. A goog practial applicartion is demonstrated in this video here.

So Peach's Down Smash is pretty bullshit. Any Peach player who tries to argue otherwise is in denial. That move can net you 60% or more off of one mistake for little-to-no effort on the Peach player's part. It gives Peach players bad habits, and is generally a pretty stupid move.

But I think it's important to have, for a couple different reasons. I think it teaches discipline and precision to new players. Most scrubs get used to playing their scrub friends and being able to do completely unsafe aerials on shield cus the people they play are bad. But a shitty Peach player? That'll teach you to perfect your shitty Falco's spacing on shield. Learning how to fight Peach is an important part of the skill curve.

Second of all, Peach sort of needs it due to her design. Yeah, it kinda sucks that she completely nullifies one of the game's main defensive options (crouch-cancelling, obviously), but hey, if a character can get hosed by crouch-cancelling (Sheik), there's room for a character that hoses crouch-cancelling. More importantly, because Peach relies on her weak hit aerials so much for combos, not having the threat of Down Smash would make her get destroyed by crouch-cancelling.

But here's the thing: It just does too much fucking percent. The move, in concept, is totally fine, but 65% for one mistake basically makes the new spacie vs. new Peach match-up unwinnable. From a design perspective, it's needlessly discouraging.

What I'd like to see is for Peach to keep the tool, but cut the damage down by half, or even more, honestly. If a full-hit downsmash (i.e: you fucked up real bad and CC'd the whole thing without even trying to DI) did 25%, I think that'd be a reasonable amount of percent. That's still a punishment for a big mistake, which I think is fine, but it's not the free half-stock lead we're used to seeing.

TL;DR: dsmash op pls nerf

Hello, i am NyxTheShield, and i am currently the best Chilean P:M player. I am also a G&W main.

I have seen a lot of kneejerk reactions to Mr Lz's wins today. Everybody is talking about how the character has ridiculous disjoints, free combos , insane OoS game and that the character is borderline broken.

Let me show you why that is not true.

Gdubs has a lot going for him, he has really good disjoints, but he only has one attack that is safe on shield (Bair), and even Bair has frame disadvantage on shield, he has to perfectly space his aerials on shield or they ARE punishable. His only safe approach option is a perfectly fast falled bacon in shield.

And this is his main weakness. He is an aggresive character WITH NO SAFE OPTIONS ON SHIELD. If you watch Mr Lz. games today you can notice EVERY player he faced tried to play agressively vs him. That's stupid. G&W can't deal with defensive play style:

This is a set of me vs one of best Chilean Foxes, Blassy. I resetted the bracket 3-0, and you can notice how Blassy play was subpar. He was being extremely agressive and i punished that. But in set 2 he completely changed his play style into a defensive, laser heavy play. You can see the results. A defensive play style counters him hard.

G&W's weakness completely compensate his good points.

title.

Mango and Plup are supposed to play in the Melee bracket and when they were waiting for Plup to finish his PM doubles match and Toph referred to PM as Harry Potter and that game no one has ever heard of, even saying "I don't think it's even written on the website". Like seriously, what the fuck. You don't just do that.

Edit: Wow. Now they just said "now finally released from the Chamber of Secrets" when referring to Plup showing up for Melee. THE FUCK.

The PMDT poured their hearts into the current build we have, and it's pretty fucking great. We have a well balanced, fun, high speed, professional build already. We don't need a bunch of unofficial, unsanctioned, or unrecognized builds with content used against the consent of the creators floating around dividing and tearing apart our community. Shit, a week ago everyone was happy with the build we have but now everyone wants to complicate things and risk getting out friends of the former PMDT in legal trouble. Please, think of the implications of doing these things. I could ruin us.

Cry with me. Or think of a solution.. :(

i need help with metroid prime, i'm in the begining where you have to scan a red panel i have the scan visor equiped, i'm holding L, nothing.

Project M is Dead.

But we won't die til our dreams are dead.

Dry your tears now, don't you cry

Let's play PM, one more time.

PROJECT M IS DEAD

LONG LIVE PROJECT M

The greatest family ever known,

You all will always be my home.

Don't you cry, no need to fear

My SD card's still right here.

Yes, these times will sting our hearts

But we should rejoice with every start

With whirring Wii and passion's spark

WE WILL NEVER GROW APART!

OUR PASSION CANNOT TELL A LIE

AND FROM OUR HEARTS WE CANNOT HIDE

AND WHEN THEY SPEAK WE REALIZE

THAT PROJECT M WILL NEVER DIE

PROJECT M IS DEAD

LONG. LIVE. PROJECT. M.

Do your part to support your scene. Do your part to spread the word. Do your part to keep the fire alive. And Project M will never die.

Long Live Project M.

I am a huge fan of Thundrez. I think it is accepted by most that he is the one with the best chance to win a Super major within the last year or so. However.. he's starting to act like a freaking whiny entitled child. He has so much potential but he just makes these stupid faces everytime he thinks something "shouldn't of happened " or "oh that was stupid". Just go watch the sets with Malachi.

Is it his mindset? Obviously his loser's run at BB is not bad at all but it's the way he's losing. What is going on with him? Has he always been like this?
