Super Smash Bros. the New Subspace emissary

Sweet, Paula! Nice to finally see an EarthBound character other than the main guy.

Yeah, she'll have Ness moveset from the official games and I'm overhauling Ness with 90% new moves

Well, let's see.
The sprites don't match, the engine is jumpy and feels un stable, the collisions arn't very precise so you hit the block a few pixels above it, there is no variable jumping, not very polished, the enemies just disappear when you hit them and when they hit you, some of the sprites look a bit streched, no acceleration or friction, jumpimg and double jumping is a bit odd, the sprites sometimes don't change when you jump, the idle randomly changes speed sometimes, if you hit the bottom of something you don't go through it ( No Jump-through platforms ), and some of the animations are either to quick or to slow.

I will address these issues, but the game is still a WIP, I still have fine tuning to do, (like making Mario's punch and kick animation more than 3 frames long) but it will be fixed,

Update, Link and Mario are nearly finished, (all 4 special moves work glitchlessly) if all goes as planned I'll release a new demo saturday, I already have fixed numerous glitchs (no more spazzy movement) the engine is stable now

Based on the original EarthBound? Like, PSI Rockin?

yes, but I don't know about PSI rockin' specifically, It'd be a little hard to incorparate into a smash bros. style game

anyway, I've begun work on samus and hope to have her done by saturday

well new demo as promised, both Link and Mario are 90% done, if you hit the different arrow keys before you hit D you'll use your different special moves, the only glitch in this demo is if Link's arrow hits his boomerang it will dissapear and the game will act like it returned to him NOTE: unlike in Brawl, you cannot charge Link's spin attack

P.S. to change between the 2 characters press 1 or 2 while standing next to the smash icon

Getting better, other than the glitch you mentioned, I couldn't find any glitches. I see you don't need a debugger anymore

not entirely true, in my incomplete samus character, when you try to attack the game freezes for no reason (it's the exact same coding as link and mario so theres no reason for it to freeze)

Oh well. If you still need one...

so general impressions?

I like the idea of the game and i'd say it has alot of potential.The engine does not deliver fluid motion as in a smash bros game.The engine seems good though.You may need to add combo's but currently everything seems good.Its also nice to see graphics exceeding 640x480 despite i also disapprove of interpolation cause the fuzziness of the graphics may not appeal to everyone.

I think that it sounds like a good idea

yeah, I'm actually planning on replacing the midi's with emulated music which sounds better

By emulated music i presume you mean .spc music.I'm not sure what the format is but using the .ogg format is better, also midi's actually do sound good in cases.
