But I think that it’s really quite sad that we kind of have to be shunned to other venues in the first place. I think that the concept of a shadow major right now is a necessary evil.
How do you feel about the P+ tournaments being “shadow” tournaments, kept sort of away from the rest of the competition? I feel Project + has a great balance of both things. If the title has both then it gives me an even greater drive to support and compete in the game myself. One is truly enjoying the game and one is truly enjoying the support of the community behind the game. I’ve always found that, in order to keep a passion for competing in a game, I need at least one of two different things. What has made you so passionate about competing in P+ tournaments? In P+ you can see in his animations and playing him, he holds out the hammer longer and has further range which is pretty unique for a heavy character. In Brawl, he holds his hammer very close to him and it feels limited. The other biggest change would be, for the type of character he is, they gave him much greater range than he had in any other game in Smash. In P+, he can air dash at the same time with them, opening up huge movement options. Two of the biggest changes with Dedede are due to how air dodging changed in the game and shifting your momentum in the air Dedede can rethrow his Waddle Dee and Gordo like he could in Brawl. What are the key changes they made to Dedede? It offers different character archetypes, gameplay, unique stages that pay homage to other franchises, and a whole new set of technical abilities that I find very fun to play. What are the key differences between P+ and Brawl?Īs an avid fan of both Melee and Brawl, it provides a completely different visualization of what a Smash game could be. One of the first systems to offer a much more feasible way to transfer files from a computer.
There was modding for Wii games before Brawl even came out due to having a full size DVD drive, which the Game Cube didn’t, and an SD card slot, and USB ports. And also because the Wii in particular was a very hackable system compared to a lot of previous Nintendo consoles. One, that Brawl was a huge difference from Melee that people didn’t expect. The reason why Brawl took off in modding comes from two main reasons.
The same way games like Team Fortress and Dota were all originally mods of other games. It’s a fun topic, because you take a platform of a game you appreciate and build derivations off of it to show different visions or ideas and build communities off of it. It’s not that people are focused on modding Brawl per say, but modding video games in general.
Proud that I achieved not only that, but kept the momentum and also got Top 8 in Project Plus! Amazing weekend ✨ #TLWIN /CNiABOcYUZ I'd need to make a couple upsets being seed 9, but I practiced for weeks leading up to it. My goal at was to get Top 8 in Brawl Singles. Chia got into Project+ through her background in game design and passion for the modding scene she stayed for the passionate community and the strong gameplay. Her main is King Dedede she also uses Samus and R.O.B. One of those competitors was Christina “Chia” Korsak, who ended up placing in the Top 8 at the shadow major. But that hasn’t stopped the Smash community from continuing to grind the game and grow a passionate community. You might not have even heard of this game that’s because Nintendo clearly doesn’t want you to hear about it. In case you’re not familiar with Project P+, it’s a modification of Project M, a Super Smash Bros. One game - Project P+ - had theirs in a hotel room across the parking lot, away from the vendors, tournament setups and crowds. Melee and Ultimate were streamed from Super Smash Con 2022, there were still other competitions going on.
