Brawl Minus 4.0b is still a beta, so there's bound to be a few bugs or unintended changes. If you run into any of them, post them here so we may fix them for 4.0!
Confirmed bugs:
IT'S HERE!
The long-awaited 4.0 beta has finally arrived! Wreak havoc on your opponents like never before in this version of the game, where this time, even the physics have been shaken up! Less time being spent in hitstun and shield stun means a better chance for you to make a comeback on your...
Why have 450+ stages when you're only going to play on maybe 20 most of the time?
We're still hard at work on our stage stuff, some little things will be in the beta.
This is also mentioned in the OP and allowed. If there is permission for an existing costume, with proof from the creator, then we will let it enter the same way any other costume has. I've done this for a few of the current entrants, but feel it would be more significant if they were costumes...
The following have none: Yoshi, Pit, Samus, Olimar, Fox, Falco, Wolf, Pokemon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, and Snake
Also, I updated the OP again with the links from all the newest submissions.
Due to potential revived interest from the release of 4.0B, I am going to once again open up all characters for texturing!
However, we encourage focusing on those that don't have many textures, so that way we'll be able to fill the whole roster with textures fresh from the community!
Don't be shy to submit costumes for a closed character.
To encourage people to return to the contest, I will open up all characters for textures once more.
There weren't enough costumes submitted (a fair amount of characters still haven't even received one!), so we chose not to include it for now. Just another feature to look forward to in 4.0!
Samus in 4.0b is going to be a whole new woman. Don't think of her coming into 4.0 as if she's still in her 3.Q mode.
As for the rest of your concerns, I can only encourage you to play the game and leave your feedback. We'll be taking all responses into consideration while working on the rest...
THE NEXT VERSION OF BRAWL MINUS COMES OUT ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH!
The wait is almost over! Brawl Minus 4.0b is going to be released very soon! Expect a Brawl Minus very much different from 3.Q, with modified physics, many character adjustments, and much, much, more!
So what does the "b"...
