#SaveSmash


Hello everyone. It's been another two years since the last update. While I wish I could come to you with some good news, that is simply not the case. As many of you may have heard, Nintendo recently shut down the Big House tournament via a Cease and Desist order. Their reason for doing so is the tournament's usage of Slippi, which is a mod for Melee which allows online multiplayer with rollback. Given that Project M is also a mod of Super Smash Bros that we all love, it is sad to see these current events unfolding. However, the issues is much greater than Nintendo shutting down the Big House. The fact of the matter is that there are accounts of Nintendo repeatedly lying to the Smash community, and other companies, to prevent sponsorships and other large scale events designed to help further Smash as an eSport. The details of this claim are far too great to explain here, but a link is provided if you would like to read more.
So, what can you do about it? Raising your voice and letting Nintendo know how much the Smash community means to you, and how important projects like Slippi and Project M are. Please, be respectful when doing so. Being disrespectful and angry will not help the cause at all. Be kind to the social media managers and representatives at Nintendo. They are not the ones who are making these decisions. If you do decide to Tweet at Nintendo or share your story, use the #SaveSmash hashtag so that it can join the multitude of other people rallying behind this cause.

Thank you, and have a good day.

Hello everyone! After two years we have another update! Keep in mind that this is a fan modification, but not one that alters the game in any noticable way.

Project M 3.6 Full Changelist


Hello and welcome to the Project M 3.6 changelist! This is an extensive (but potentially not complete) log documenting the changes between Project M 3.5 and Project M 3.6. As usual, we prioritized getting the changelist out right when the version released, so in some cases it may not be 100% correct or formatted nicely. Please understand that these changelogs were compiled by different people, and as such they may be worded differently. If we notice something is off we'll try to come back and fix it. This changelist combines both the Project M 3.6 Beta and Project M 3.6 Full versions, so if you've already read the previous changelist, we've highlighted what's different in blue.

With that out of the way, we're going to be using some technical terms that the community at large may not understand. To help with this changelog's effectiveness, we'll be defining these terms below.

DMG = Damage.
KB = Knockback
KBG = Knockback Growth. This value determines how quickly a hitbox's KB scales with the opponents percent. Damage is also a major factor in determining scaling.
BKB = Base Knockback. This amount of KB is added to the end result of the knockback formula and is most noticeable a low percents.
WDSK = Weight Dependent Set Knockback. As the name impies, this is a type of KB that is set and does not scale with percent, and instead has a set amount that varies only based on the opponents weight. KBG in this instance is used as a multiplier, but is usually set at 100.
IASA = Interruptible As Soon As. This is a long-standing term in competitive Smash that refers to the first frame that a character can interrupt an attack, often before the full animation has completed visually. Generally this will be used to describe endlag increases and decreases.
Hitlag = The amount of freeze frames a character goes into when hit by a hitbox. This term will usually be used to describe a multiplier that increases or decreases the amount of hitlag that a hitbox would normally induce.
SDI = Smash DI, the ability for a player to move around while in Hitlag based on control stick input. This term will usually be used to describe a multiplier that increases or decreases the effectiveness of SDIing an attack.
Angle/Trajectory = This describes the angle at which an opponent is sent flying after being hit by a hitbox. 90 is straight up, while 0 is a purely horizontal trajectory.
361 angle = This angle is used throughout the game as a dynamic replacement to what would otherwise be 45, the go-to "horizontal attack" angle. This angle starts off sending further horizontally than 45 at lower KBs, but quickly scales up to 45 in-game. For all intents and purposes you can imagine the trajectory as simply being 45.

Now that we've explained those terms, here's the changelog!
