It was confirmed in the sixth anniversary stream, I believe. I'm hoping for Mewtwo and Ridley, personally. Mewtwo is a shoo-in for Minus, and Ridley... Well, only Minus would be bold enough to add him. Plus, he would be... +1 Heavyweight, +1 Aerial Fighter, +1 Villain, and +1 Metroid Rep...

I knew 2D sprite animation was tedious... I thought working with 3D models might be easier, since you don't have to animate pixel-by-pixel. I've never animated anything myself, so forgive my ignorance on the subject. Anyway... I went browsing on Brawl Vault, looking for Pichu stuff. Found some...

I found this tutorial on one-slot size mods. I'll experiment with BrawlBox and see what I can come up with when I have time. I'm surprised the Minus Team doesn't have an animator. Shouldn't you have recruited one by now, devs? Is animating really hard?

I prefer proper function over good-looking form, and Pichu looks bad either way. Might as well balance it correctly, then. I thought that was toned down a bunch? Pichu's new "tap/hold" system gave it the option to use weaker attacks that don't damage it, IIRC.

Uh, guys, don't get carried away -- I was referring to how well Melee did their character sizes, and nothing else. All that other stuff you mentioned about Melee isn't relevant here. Melee did plenty of things wrong, but you can't deny how well they sized the cast. Anyhow, Thor said what I was...

Because Melee is considered by many to be a pinnacle of game design? The Melee devs did an excellent job on character sizes. Using their work as a reference point just makes good sense from a design standpoint. Refusing to use such solid foundations (in this instance, at least) is like deciding...

Here's a few more (higher quality) reference pics. Tried to get a Kirby comparison closer to 1:1.

Turk Injaydii: Well said. I haven't seen any good reasons for Pichu being so small, from a functional design perspective. All I've seen is that highly-subjective "we think it would look weird" excuse. Pichu is an unpredictable powerhouse in Minus. Its strength has grown much since Melee, so I...

Pichu's size should scale along with the rest of the cast as well as it does with Pikachu, don't you think? Look at Link: I figured you would say that, but those were the only pics I had on-hand. I'll see if I can post Kirby comparison pics closer to 1:1 later.

Try comparing Pichu to Kirby instead of Pikachu:

In 4.0b, Roy is too small on the match results screen. Shorter than Mario! Finally got a pic. Also, don't forget about these, if you haven't fixed 'em already:

Here is a picture that compares Minus Pichu to Melee Pichu, with nine other characters included for reference: Please look at the picture and vote whether or not you think Pichu should increase in size in 4.0f. Also feel free to post reasons for your vote. For example... "Pichu should be...

I'd like to see Snake able to move while he has his opponent in a grab, and for him to get that new Box Walk animation. I wouldn't want to give up Nikita for Tranquilizer, but trading Rocket Launcher for Knife sounds like a good idea. There are a bunch of little things like that I'd love to...

Continuing the metaphor, if a brother with massive wealth/resources dies, don't you think he would want to (and rightly should) leave it to his surviving (less successful) brother? Rather than just be buried with it? I don't know the desires of the Project M devs, and they may not even be...

OK, but I think it's a shame that all of their hard work is going to die with Project M, when it could potentially live on in Minus. I've thought of Minus as the "little brother" of Project M before (even though Minus is technically older) -- when an older brother dies, does he not leave his...

So the four Special Costumes of any given character will all have the same pose (that is different from their normal pose) in their CSS & Battle Portraits? Good, that means I can just use Mr. L's CSS & Battle Portraits from Project M in the 4.0f "Brawl Art" pack, and they will fit in seamlessly...

Now that Project M has been officially shut down, are we still not allowed to post codes from Project M here, for use in Minus? There's a lot of stuff from Project M that would really benefit Minus, IMO. There are even former Project M developers in the current Minus BackRoom, aren't there? I...

You forgot about the CSS & Battle Portraits. The job isn't complete until we have 4 of each to match whichever replacement costumes we use. At any rate, we don't need two different threads about this. My thread is intended to be a fool-proof, step-by-step guide to replacing all aspects of...

Thanks, I overlooked that. Now I just need these two questions answered: Pin Clock: Will the "Special" costumes in 4.0f share the CSS & Battle Portrait poses of "Normal" costumes? If not, great -- the CSS & Battle Portraits of Mr. L from Project M will fit in fine. If the poses need to match...
