Project M Social Thread

[Shadic]

I just want to say that Yakal's Falco is scary. Do you have the match with him v. Rusty?

I was beating Mr. Shackleford in PM, but Yakal destroyed me in the few matches we did.

 

[`dazrin]

Yeah I have that Match, Shadic. It was WFs and they met again in GFs. I'm highlighting those matches from the stream and uploading them to youtube very shortly. If you lack patience, go to twitch.tv/dazee_ and find it in the videos.

ALSO:
BC will be coming to August GC. Meta, Yakal, Rusty, and I will be heading down there, so you better be there too and set up a PM side tournament

 

[hotdogturtle]

My comp would crash just trying to fathom the size of his fair

You cannot grasp the true form of Ike's fair!

 

[Strong Badam]

Hey everyone who wants to go to MELEE-FC (Where the biggest Project M tourney to ever happen is scheduled to occur!), the deal to reserve the hotel at $70 expires today. Check the thread in Tournament Listings for details. See you all there; myself and JCaesar will be running the Project M tournament.

@strong bad
That's extremely awesome. Did Brawl+ ever get this kind of attention? I do know that it never got an IGN article.

 

[JCaesar]

It was at most nationals back when it was popular. Sadly Project M has yet to have a tournament the size of Brawl+ at Pound 4 (63 total entrants), but I'm confident that we will smash that record at FC. Help us make that dream a reality!

We certainly have more hype now though, even if we aren't quite reaching the attendance numbers of Brawl+ in its prime. In addition to the IGN article (which is huge) and much higher download numbers, PMS's (unfortunately short-lived due to crappy internet) livestream had over 200 viewers!

 

[`dazrin]

Wow, awesome! We only peaked at 21 viewers, but that's okay for me since I don't stream a lot
We had good internet.. just not many subscribers on my channel xD

Also FCPM is going to be SO FRIKIN HYPE. Omg.

Yakal, Rusty, Meta, Violence and I will be going! See you all there! :D

 

[leelue]

As much as I like going to other states and getting paid to be there, travelling is rough.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

I won't be able to make it to FC, but is there going to be a stream for PM?

 

[Strong Badam]

It's currently uncertain whether PM will be streamed.

 

[metroid1117]

I wish I could go to FC, but I'm getting back from Cali on that day =/.

As usual, I swing on by one in a blue moon to present a topic completely different than the established topic at hand.

This thing

Should it be tournament legal?


Reasons to be banned
Extra ZL button
L and R are like a gamecube controller with the springs removed
Requires you to change controller settings on a custom name for every console you use it on.

Reasons to allow:
Left stick is in that stupid playstation layout and is harder to manipulate than a GCN stick.
Wireless so maybe some delay?
It's not a controller mod, it's an alternate controller that brawl already knows how to handle.
Not allowing it would be like not allowing players to chose between gamepad, arcade stick and hitbox in most fighting games.

 

[`dazrin]

If they allow it, I can bring a super awesome P:M stream-setup to FC.

-That is, IF it's necessary and they allow it.

 

[CSDragon]

Also: this is a little old, but Mango talks with Dantarion about Project M at the UCSB Weekend Wars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF3Pzb3Luk4

I was really hyped to have mango show up at my college. I mean it's crazy enough I live near Dantarion, but this was amazing. And then they talked about P:M.

Soooo yeah.

So I'm still waiting for you to post the reasons that that controller should be banned.

 

[CSDragon]

Hey, if they're nbd, I'll take it. That controller stepped up my game at least 10% once I got used to it.

I don't see why it shouldnt be, especially considering its hard to find GC controllers nowadays.

And lag is not a reason why it shouldn't be allowed, but why it wouldnt be used

The possible lag was a reason to allow because you're at a disadvantage, meaning there's no reason to ban it.

However, I don't actually know if there's lag. I've never felt any, but I also never felt brawl's lag because I'm bad.

 

[Kink-Link5]

Left stick is in that stupid playstation layout and is harder to manipulate than a GCN stick.

As opposed to the even stupider X-Box layout where it's an inch away from where the thumb rests and is indented instead of outdented, making it harder to hold in one direction continuously and harder to push from the side.

Playstation has the second best controller after gamecube, and the best one for fighters.

 

[CSDragon]

Eh, I find having to have my thumb sidways instead of straight up to be harder to use

 

[Airjelly]

I use the cc pro too, and I don't notice much lag. The layout feels pretty natural imo.
I don't see many reasons for banning it, but the most valid ones would be:

1: Connecting it to multiple consoles could cause problems/waste time
-similar to the ps3 controller at some traditional fighter tournaments

2: Batteries

 

[Strong Badam]

No one uses Wavebirds at tournaments.

I disagree, I've always found the indent makes it easier to hold one direction continuously.

I still prefer the Gamecube controller, though.

 

[PGH Carroll]

I like my controllers like I like my woman.

Easy to hold and easy to throw.

 

[leelue]

I was aiming for broken in but mostly unused.

 

[`dazrin]

I thought it was going to be something along the lines of.. dirty and overused

Anyways, all the videos are up from the PMP tournament last weekend! GGs to everyone and expect more! We lost more than half of our expected entrants because we were pushed onto a sunday, but it was still a fun tournament nonetheless. The next one will hopefully be the biggest and baddest P:M tournament on the WC if WA and Vancouver Island comes out

Singles Playlist
Doubles Playlist

I only uploaded WF, LF and GFs for doubles since not many of those matches were played on stream, so I just uploaded the important matches. I'm sure there aren't that many people hungry for doubles footage anyways so whatever lol

For those people who just want to watch finals:
WFs
LFs
GFs set1
GFs set 2

 

[GunBlaze]

How can I setup a stream?

 

[Kink-Link5]

How do capture cards work is a better question. Like, I could plug the console right into them, but then I can't see wtf I'm doing because it isn't going to a screen.

 

[Strong Badam]

Buy Y-Splitters. Splits the inputs into two outputs, one for TV and one for computer.

I already have the equipment (Y-Splitters, Capture Card, TV, computer), but is there any special software needed or some **** like that? Or am I missing something?

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I bought a Dazzle a while ago; it came with a program I needed to install in order to record with it.

 

[Kink-Link5]

Man, what a lucrative product it would be to sell Two AV Cables, a Female Coupler, and 3 Y-splitters together with a capture card.

 

[GunBlaze]

I bought a Dazzle a while ago; it came with a program I needed to install in order to record with it.

Mine came with ULead Studio,; what now?

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I couldn't say; mine came with Pinnacle Instant DVD Recorder.

 

[standardtoaster]

Just use Virtual Dub. It's what Strong Bad and I use to record with.

 

[Pimpfish]

I like my controllers like I like my woman.

Easy to hold and easy to throw.

i like my women like i like my controllers,

you can push all the buttons you want and she still wont talk back.

 

[JCaesar]

I like mine with no blemishes and a stiff stick.

 

[Stevo]

I like my controllers like I like my guns.

a worn out trigger button and the blood of my victims on it.
