I don't log in to these forums anymore but I decided to make an exception here just so I could thank you for making this pack. I wouldn't have bothered but I saw some negative comments that I don't feel were justified and I wanted to counterbalance them.
Because how dare someone say something bad? No, we must silence the heathens at once.
I'm personally really grateful that someone is putting this pack together and I've been watching it intently for updates since it came out. If this project reaches the point that the added characters has been physically tweaked to fit with PM's physics and they have sound FX, I'll definitely be downloading this, turning it into an WBFS, and giving it a permanent place on my Wii.
One shall see how much quality this pack will have. Quick hint though, don't hold your breath.
For the record, as much as I dislike LC-DDM's tone, I do typically share his perspective on compilation packs. That said, I feel this project is different because it's not a compilation of what stages/characters "you think look cool" or "you think should have been in the game" or anything like that. As I understand it, this pack aims to only adds what was previously removed from the franchise and I think that's a really natural idea. You also seem to be going the extra mile to make sure everything blends together well and is of high quality.
It still feels a bit tacked on, though, to be honest. I still don't trust this pack to be any good as the others. Time will tell, I suppose, but it is pretty much still just a "let's take things from other people and bunch it up into a pack". I want to see what they can do to change this.
Stop complaining about something that doesn't effect you. It makes you look petty and silly.
You only popped up in here trying to whiteknight this thread because you do the same damn thing.
Someone on a Brawl mod site wants to enhance their Brawl mod with more Brawl mods; but nope, they shouldn't be able to try and improve their own Smash experience because you don't like it.
No, someone on a *Brawl hacking site* wants to change a **Total Conversion** to stray away from its original intent.
If they were to improve their own Smash experience they'd keep it to themselves. Like you said, it's -their own- experience.
* It's not relegated to just mods, though I can understand why you'd make this mistake... you still have noobs thinking the site is Brawl Vault and not KC-MM. Even on the damn blogpage.
** There's a great amount of people that don't know what this is, because they were only introduced to mods here. I recommend looking for it on UD.
He's "smearing P:M's name" by changing it?
I'm pretty sure the way P:M made things, they were pretty much against unofficial builds, which technically, is what this is. So yes.
...So P:M must be "smearing Sakurai's name" for changing Brawl, correct?
P:M's early beginnings were to 'restore' Falco to his Melee glory, and it gradually snowballed from that into what you see today. It may be fanning out into other games, but the heavy Melee influence is still there to a degree.
...Better yet, aren't we all "smearing Brawl's name" by hacking it?
I'm pretty sure modding in general isn't 'smearing' anything. Well, until you replace everything with [censored]s. Fishing back the TC talk though, some of the best games out there started out as mods. It all depends on the quality of the mod itself, in the end.
...Or even better yet, isn't Sakurai "smearing Melee/64's name" by updating it?
Now you're just being an idiot. But to be fair, there are still Melee addicts out there that think THAT is the truth, so I'll let it slide.
I'm sorry that you're offended by "unofficial" hack packs. I'm sorry that you're unable to grasp the concept that, when someone else's hack is borrowed and properly credited, it's public domain that anyone can use for any hack, pack, or project they like. What kind of attitude is that, on Brawl Vault of all places?
Just because it's borrowed and properly credit doesn't suddenly make it okay to have a catch-all compilation pack whose mods someone can already get seperately.
You're being a hypocrite. You complain that these people are "[censored]ting all over P:M's" work, only to [censored] on the hard work they've done to try and make P:M better.
You don't know what 'hypocrite' means, do you? IF I had a compilation pack of my own, you'd be right, but you're not.
Also, yeah, you're totally right. Downloading other people's hacks into a pack is SUCH hard work. P:M's good enough as it is, it doesn't NEED to be 'better'.
At least the others can form a coherent response. You barely have enough brainpower to post a [censored]ty GIF.
