It’s been a work in progress for a long time and I’ve
been playing the older builds of PM for about 2 years, and for the unfamiliar,
it combines Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s huge and creative roster of characters
with the fast-paced, more competitive gameplay of its predecessor, Super Smash
Bros. Melee. On December 9th of last year, the newest build was released, and
it completely blew me away. They finally completed every character, added multiple
cool looking alternate costumes, new stages, refined menus, a whole new way to play in the form of Turbo Mode, and what personally had me the most excited,
the return of Mewtwo and Roy from Melee. It’s an awesome mod with a lot of
effort put into it and I’ve barely been able to put it down since downloading
it about a month ago. If you’re interested in trying it out for yourself, check
it out right

And as many of you know, the 4th installment
of the Super Smash Bros. series is set to come out…wait, this year!? Good lord,
time flies. It’s already been nearly 6 years since Brawl! The new game looks
impressive, to say the least, the colorful HD graphics, the super unique
movesets given to the newcomers, and…hell, dude, it’s Smash Bros. This is a series known for having an absurd
amount of content that lasts for years without getting old. Between the hours I’ve
poured into Project M and the excitement of knowing that later this year I’ll
be playing Smash 4, it’s hard not to be reminded of the series’ history and be
kind of taken aback at just how much time I’ve put into playing this game with
my friends. To celebrate, I decided my next blog will be the first of a 3-part
series; you guessed it, a Super Smash Bros. Retrospective!
