Oh boy, that was fast. Time to repost some things I've already mentionned:
* There is nothing in our rules that prevents people from posting codes made by others, if proper credit is given. (And in this case, the OP isn't taking any credit for anything, simply quoting what's been said by another.) * Whether those codes were stolen, copied from Dantarion's wiki/pastebin or willingly given really isn't something that concerns us, or even anywhere near our jurisdiction to be perfectly honest.
To anyone here playing mini-mod: you should probably re-read the rules before trying to intimidate people into removing something which they have no reason to remove. A number of PMBR members already did that on the previous thread, and I really don't need a repeat of it.
Also, I'm editing the OP to remove that broken thread icon.
I can see the reasoning behind their objectives more as "not wanting to raise their flags high enough to thrust themselves into Nintendo's radar". As far as legal boundaries, however, they're already reverse-engineering Nintendo's software and distributing unofficial patches, so it's more a matter of keeping themselves from competing with current Nintendo products than not crossing legal boundaries.
Well, that would be my reasoning, but I'm not part of PM.
And I do love your way with words, Miacis.
I guess that's the basic idea, yeah. But my point is: they are already waving their flag around to garner support for their project and promote it. If Pokemon X/Y references was all it took for them to notice P:M, then might as well cancel the project altogether when SSB4 comes out.
Nope. Too much of a legal issue, and we don't wanna risk being shut down. The Pokemon Company didn't even allow Sakurai to mention anything about X/Y until it came out.
I'm probably repeating myself, but if Nintendo wants to shut P:M down, that's really not the kind of consideration that will stop them. Did Stack Smash inherit the lead of the project while I wasn't looking? oô
Also, that Mewtwo page is still flouting the English language, yet nobody dares to rise and smite its insolent bravado.
Also, sigs specifically need to remain SFW, now. So even if it's technically not "exposure of sexual areas", it shouldn't be something I wouldn't want my boss/mom to see over my shoulder, either.
Oh, we've actually been working on it. Good timing to ask. I'll close up the very intense discussion that was had in the Admin board, and change it up tomorrow.
Please notice that I put it in quotes for a reason, as it is extremely thin logic, and I was just using it to make a joke. The punchline of what was, I thought, obviously a joke seems to be missing from your quote.
Honestly, it took me 3 re-reads to see where the punchline was. And I'm still not sure if you were heavily sarcastic in the first paragraph or not. Regardless, my bad.
On the "if you think you can do better, go ahead" subject, if you go that route, it'd be great if you proved you can do better on a different character.
That still doesn't make much sense. You don't need to have practiced the art to be able to judge it fairly. A lot of people here have been on KCMM since the dawn of SSBB hacking, and are perfectly aware of the limitations of SSBB hacking and of what great model hackers can pull off.
Really, you don't need to be a producer to be a movie critic. No offense meant, but it's just a logic biased by pride, to try and discredit the opinion of a bunchof people. An artist and his peers have never the best judges of his own work. (see internet use of"circle-jerking")
If it has further issues, lemme know so I can take a hand at fixing them.
I'm no native speaker, but I've been studying university English for 3 years now and I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with almost every sentence:
"we altered his stats that is befitting of Mewtwo" < If not grammatically incorrect, that sounds extremely clunky. "Some examples include, but not limited to," < Lacking a verb in the second clause. "Mewtwo struggled in approaching" < Struggled to approach? "his organic actions" < What exactly is an organic action? oô "adding their own finesse that will soon be unveiled" < Again, if not grammatically incorrect, that sounds extremely clunky. "Every single attack that Mewtwo had at his disposal [...] are restored" < That should be in singular form there. "his staple moves such as [...] have been restored to their former glory. " < That doesn't make much sense, considering those moves didn't change from Melee to P:M. There's nothing to "restore". "perform anything out of Teleport except for Air Dodge" < Air dodges? Air-dodging? An Air Dodge? "Incorporate this advantage to your gameplay" < Incorporate into? "Though, the inputs are familiar" < This comma shouldn't be in that sentence.
But that's only the tip of the iceberg, tbh. It'd be best to have a decent writer take a few minutes and rewrite the whole page into something more fluent and seamless. While not grammatically incorrect, it's just difficult to hold my chuckles when I read about Mewtwo's "increased stats", "elegant movements", "deep mix-ups", and other "vehicles" scattered across random sentences.
(Also, that thing about ROB is still kind of an insult to video game history.)
I think there's a limit you can expect, especially from a community based project. What I see right now looks very nice and I'm satisfied with it myself.
When they make weekly videos, have an official website, get themselves interviewed in podcasts and on IGN, and overally take their role in the SSBB FGC rather seriously, then yes, I think people will expect a lot, and then some. If you create a project and act like a very serious modder, expect to be judged as such.
Speaking of which, are you guys going to fix that Mewtwo page? .w.
EDIT: Like I'm there to give any lessons. My finger slipped and I accidentally sent the topic to the Recycle Bin. I am so sorry for all the broken message icons. x_x
Do you have to be at a certain position the make your avatar bigger? Do I need to be a "Holy Kitten" or something?
This isn't the right place to ask, but the maximum width for avatars is 125 pixels, and the maximum height is 160 for everyone. There is an exploit that allows anyone to have bigger heights, but I'd rather you stick to 160. We put that limit for a reason.
Also you might want to start and make your signature less stupidly big, for starters.
May I suggest some proofreading before publishing things like that on the main website? Because either my English has gone awry in the last few hours, or most sentences on that page show symptoms of Engrish grammar and syntax.
And while we're on the topic of the odd website descriptions, there's still that very funny "[ROB] helped save the entire video game industry"
