Isn't it literally just Smash Bros without the main selling point of Nintendo characters?

Yes. I can't post the trailer now, but four of the characters are literally Fox, Ganondorf, Marth, and Captain Falcon.

Somewhere along the lines of "Nintendo doesn't support comp Melee enough and the game is going on like 16 years old and they won't make another game with its mechanics so let's do it ourself with online multiplayer and shit"

It's an interesting idea but feels very soulless. Rivals of Aether is a much better attempt imo

Of course they dont support competitive melee. They moved on. Like these nerds should.

So I played it some

I'm sorry, but it is genuinely atrocious in its current state. The game feels like there's missing frames. I press up-tilt on Kidd and his body teleports from upright to his head on the floor doing a diagonal kick with his legs. It looks like more work went into the skin/spray/'holograms' (what the fuck? In a fighting game?) shop then the gameplay considering the core of it is cut and paste from Melee. A really shameful release in my opinion.

Guess it's proof that Smash should be left to the professionals.

At least you didn't pay any money on it, right?

That's not why Nintendo doesn't support Melee. Nintendo just doesn't want too big of a role in general when it comes to competition in their games. But they do try occasionally, like with the invitational at E3. If they didn't care about competitive Melee at all, why would they invite top Melee players to compete in the invitational?

Dude, maybe you didn't hear but characters are actually just functions and you should be happy to play as some not-marth if you liked marth and if you disagree it's because you don't really like fighting games.

By the way. Check out Brawlhalla for an actually good smash clone.

The game is graphically terrible, sound design is bad, and the character designs are ugly. There's one character that is straight up a carbon-copy of Marth moveset-wise. Seems like a waste tbh

So project M team can make money off Melee by slapping on a bad coat of paint and some shitty OC(do not steal) on it to technically not violate copyrights.

Well it fits a checklist of what they asked for including some unique ATs like gravity cancel but I can understand why some people might not want to play it.

There are item spawns but nothing stupid. You can also catch items as they are thrown at you.

Can someone verify that?

The lootboxes are real, in app purchases for up to like $60. The game is a hysterical mess, it's dead in the water.
