Unofficial Project M Ridley PSA - Version 2.1 released.

[R̢i҉̴̛͜d̷̕҉̴l̨̧͠͡e͘͜͠y̴̶͡͠͞]

This psa is great but just curious if there is a way to improve the cpu's use of it. For example the cpu doesn't really use the down b move at all. Also the cpu doesn't really recover that well:
SSBB: Samus VS Ridley
SSBB: Ridley VS Samus

There is a way to fix that, but don't ask me for that. I know nothing of how to change AI in SSBB/PM (but it certainly is possible). And recovery issues might also be because of a bug with his Up B (he doesn't regains it after getting hit). Either way, at least he is better than he was before. He can get some awesome stuff done through DAir, NAir and FAir...if you aren't lucky with him. This is one of the things that must be fixed, along with his right half of body and feet.

eh Im fine with that. besides i play boss battles in project m alot more cause of that..its worht a good chuckle every now and then. and his gfx too? cool double practice session then....well wish me luck then XD heres to hoping i dont screw up

He rarely uses his own GFX, so, not much stuff to change in his coding. Good luck either way.


Wanted to show you something:

This is a slightly outdated image (he should have only 3 fingers on each hand and longer torso), but whatever. Its a separate PSA that is going to be a semi-clone of Other M Ridley. Also, this:

I just need to find a way to properly replace Meta Ridley's wings and he will be available as an alt.
Also, now Other M Ridley has a trophy:

I will replace all KI trophies to make sure he fits in his category.

Why havent anybody replied here yet? These things are awesome! specially dat trophy (seriously, it doesnt really look like brawl anymore there lol)
talking about Ridley, I attempted to make the alts you sent me time ago and wellp.. I had some troubles starting by the base

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

by any chance, do you have a .max file of the model before you imported it so I can use it as a base for the alts?

Don't know. Thread on Smashboards is a lot more active. It got to over 100 pages already. And there has been a lot of stuff done that i didn't shared here because KC-MM merges double posts even when its not needed. I'll try to upload them here soon. For now, just an announcement - version 2.0 is getting released within this week.

Try this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7secmo1bghipev5/meta%20ridley%20parts.max?dl=0 Im not sure it will work because i didn't made it. Drogoth did. Oh, and btw, could you fix his beak? It has some pretty weird lighting on it because i messed something up while turning it from a duck beak to this.



EDIT: Ooh boy, how much stuff i have to tell ya. Lets start with the basic stuff:
Note: open the spoiler to see the animation/image and description. All of the spoilers have description in them, so, just reading what has been done through this list without reading descriptions won't help much.
Now Ridley uses new model (which was scaled up by KJP and fixed by Dr.):

Firebrand recolor is no longer in the default pack (it will be a separate download) and is replaced by Meta Ridley recolor:

Misc things have been added. Im talking about things like this:

Other M model is once again available, but this time, it has true Other M colors:

New Down B:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

It is based off his ram/charge/tackle/rush/whatever attack from original Metroid Prime (so, he leans back really far). He leans back for 30 frames (first 20 frames have light armor on Ridley that is easy to break through, but it prevents him from flinching when hit by weak attacks), then rushes forward at high speed, knocking everyone out of his way (while going forward, he has heavy armor on him that prevents him from flinching from most normal attacks). Has high hit lag. If opponent is too close when he starts going forward, said opponent will be launched forward and then hit again by the main part of this attack. This attack does not prevents him from going off the stage. If he still remains on the stage after performing it, he will land as if he just landed after helpless state, so, it may be safer to go off the stage with it unless your opponent has tools required to prevent Ridley from recovering (Samus is a good example of that since she has long ranged projectiles that can easily be spammed and they also can KO him).
Ridley's hurtboxes are fixed now:

Also, fireballs are back, but there is nothing special about them.
Other than that, there have been a lot of various nerfs and buffs and now Ridley feels more balanced than before, thanks to beta testers from Smashboards (they are Cpt., Dastardly Ridleylash, GerbilCrab475, ggmonx, MerryShadow, NXero, PrinceGal3n, Warzenschwein, Weiss and _Ganondorf_). Hopefully they will remain for next versions so i wouldn't have to go blind with those as i did with all versions except for v1.0. I'll properly give credit in readme file, which im going to revamp too.

As for stuff not related to v2.0, here are 2 things i want to show:

Looking forward to that Ridley (these animations are really good)!
Do you plan to make a BrawlEx version for 2.0?

Thanks.
If i'll figure out how to make those.


Another new change - now Ridley uses different and overall more varied SFX (im talking about things like roars). I used some of themaziest (from smashboards)'s SFX, but also added my own. SFX consists of roars from Other M and SSB4 (this version is just edited Brawl roars, but they work a lot better) Ridley, Metroid Prime 1 Meta Ridley and Omega Ridley and there also is Adolescent Ridley's hiss for Down Taunt. I wanted to use Omega Pirate's laugh for Side Taunt and Up Throw too, but it didn't fit well, so, im just going to make a new one from Ridley's roars as it was in previous version. Other things that will change are his Final Smash (idea itself won't change, but execution will) and intro animation.
Oh, and the release is set somewhere within this week. Most likely Sunday (which is the first day of the week for some people, but International Organization for Standardization ISO 8601 says its the last one).

Any chance you can tell me what program you used to set the attack data, ex damage, knockback etc.

[KingJigglypuff]

You must be new here.

BrawlBox v0.68b

Project Smash Attacks

BrawlBox v0.68b: Easy to use, but it's not entirely stable, so use this version of BrawlBox only if you know what you're doing.

Project Smash Attacks: Not entirely easy to use, but it's quite stable. Use this if you're just starting out.
