:shakes head: God, I DESPISE Fan boys.
I understand the fact you were 16, and no, its not a bad game. But honestly all the hype is for the simple fact that it refers to Smash Bros. This is NOTHING like Melee people. To any of you that said it is, have you ever even played SSBM? I guess it kinda resembles the original 64 version, but still, it doesnt even compare to that. The traction was horrid, you can rack up 90% in 2 hits, once you're sent flying you just keeping floating in that same direction with no hope of recovering, it has more glitches than you can shake a Wii-mote at... I love melee, but any self-respecting fan of the game should be ashamed to compare this to it. I'm not trying to sound like a D-bag. Because you did do a good job, especially for it being your first game and all, it's these Fan boys that are ticking me off... You bring shame upon Nintendo >|
Anyway, work on your progamming skills. I have no complaints about the characters themselves (but no Bowser?! C'mon!!). I did play it through and I did unlock them all, its the moves and gravity that are frustrating. Glitches will always pop up here and there, but it does seem like some of them could of been fixed rather easily if you edited the programming just a bit. At some point when i was playing, the sreen just kept floating upward causing instant death ^^;; If you plan on making a second, I agree with what others before me have said: Add another attack button. I forget what site had them, but there were sprites of all the SSBM characters and ALL of thier moves. So it would be possible to add special and smash attacks if you wanted :3 Im sure a google search could bring it up. Set a more realistic Damage ratio and factor in mass with the characters... everyone gets smacked around like Jigglypuff in Melee :P Link should not get smacked as far as Kirby with the same Damage %..
That's just about all the constructive advice I can give. I will not say this game was '0mFgodzors!11!1! AweSomzssss!11!1!!1111!SHIFT1!!11!!' but I did have fun with it, and it did kill some time xD Best of luck with your future work d(^^d)
