Editing Brawl+

{{Cleanup}}

'''Brawl+''' is a working project designed to make various aspects of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' more competitive. It is only available by modifying the [[Wii]] with specific software. More information can be found on the [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=213744 Brawl+ FAQ] at [[Smash World Forums]].

Currently available modifications include (but are not limited to):

==Features==
*No random [[tripping]]. Certain moves and bananas will still trip.
*A new character select screen with independent icons for [[Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]], [[Sheik (SSBB)|Sheik]], [[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]], and all Pokémon Trainer Pokémon.
*Decrease of hitlag in long hitlag moves, such as Captain Falcon's sweetspotted forward aerial and Marth tipped forward smash.
*Fully independent versions of [[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur]], and [[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]], though [[Pokemon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokemon Trainer]] can still be selected. For the stand-alone characters, [[Stamina (stat)|Stamina]] has been removed, and the Pokemon will not cycle upon [[revival platform|revival]] or via [[Pokemon Change]]. The Pokemon Trainer will not appear in the background or the victory screen if players choose to play an independent Pokemon.
*[[L-canceling]] (Auto-cancel) (otherwise known as ALR or Aerial Lag Reduction).
*[[Dash cancel]]. -Crouch to cancel a dash.
*No [[replay]] time limit.  Replay icon still does not appear if the game is longer than three minutes, but if Z is pressed the replay may be saved normally.
*Shield during [[Dash-dancing|dash dance]].
*[[Wizard's Foot]] gives another jump for recovery.
*No [[Stale Move Negation]].

*Stage freezing. -Stops all stage movement, potentially allowing for more [[neutral stages]]. Only applies for:
**[[Luigi's Mansion]] - mansion is always destroyed and platforms never disappear
**[[WarioWare, Inc.]] - stage is always in original form
**[[Spear Pillar]] - [[Dialga]], [[Palkia]], and [[Cresselia]] stop appearing all together, removing stage hazards
**[[Pokemon Stadium 2]] - Stage does not change forms
*No Auto [[Sweet spot (ledge)|sweetspot]] ledges.
*Lag-less [[Edge|edges]].
*MAD ([[Air dodging #In Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee air dodge]]), which enables [[Wavedashing]]. (This is not in the standard "Brawl Plussery," but can be added in using certain codes.)
*Incorporates the File Replacement Code used in downloading [[Texture Hack|texture hacks]], meaning Brawl+ users can easily download pre-made textures with no extra codes required.

===Gameplay Tweaks===
*Character balancing. [[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon]], for example, has been significantly improved.
*Faster overall gameplay speed.
*Increased [[Falling Speed]].
*Increased [[hitstun]], allowing for truly inescapable [[Combo|combos]].
*[[Tech]] window enlarged.
*Greater window to dash dance.
*[[Perfect shield]] window decreased.
*Increased Shield Stun, meaning a character hit while using their shield is forced to stay shielded for a longer amount of time.
*Many moves received slight alterations. For example, [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser's]] forward smash now produces a fire effect on contact with the opponent.

=="Melee 2.0" Claims==

Despite constant disclaimers by the supporters of the Brawl+ project, many critics of the game (some of whom have not even played Brawl+) refer to Brawl+ as "Melee 2.0", stating that the hackers behind the making of the project are making nothing more than an attempt to "play Melee with Brawl characters and stages".

This is entirely false, as stated on nearly every site supporting Brawl+. This generalization usually stems from the fact that Brawl+ actually started out as a "Melee 2.0" project. Though it wasn't intended to be as regularly updated or popular as Brawl+ is, the early forms included basic codes for Wavedashing and shield button-triggered L-Canceling. Another trait that both Brawl+ and Melee share is the fact that they both have inescapable combos.

Calling Brawl+ by that name is generally taken as an insult to Brawl+ supporters as well as a sign of ignorance.

-'''''Brawl+''''' is a gameplay [[mod]] designed to make ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' more competitive. Among the first gameplay [[mod]]s released to the public, ''Brawl+'' attained some niche appeal amongst the ''Smash'' community due to its gameplay changes. However, as the first mod of ''Brawl'' to undo many of the game's changes to more closely match ''Melee'', ''Brawl+'' was frequently controversial amongst smashers, primarily over what the mod's intentions were, with a number of critics referring to the game as "''Melee'' 2.0". ''Brawl+'s'' own staff also reportedly became antagonistic with one another due to the lack of a defined goal for the mod.
-Despite the controversy surrounding the mod, ''Brawl+'' was the first gameplay mod of ''Brawl'' to develop its own tournament scene, and it was featured as a side event at some tournaments, such as [[Apex 2010]] and [[S.N.E.S.]]

-''Brawl+'s'' last release, version 7.0.3, was released in 2010, with most of its staff having moved onto the development of ''Brawl+'s'' spiritual successor, ''[[Project M]]''. As such, development of ''Brawl+'' is ceased, and no new releases of it are expected. In the present, ''Brawl+'' is mostly viewed as a curiosity for players who want to see how the ''Brawl'' hacking scene started.

-*Since build 5.0, the [[Online Practice Stage]] is loaded whenever [[Rumble Falls]] is selected in [[Versus Mode]]. In older versions of Brawl+, the Online Practice Stage was loaded whenever [[New Pork City]] was selected, and in even older versions (Genesis build) the Online Practice Stage was fully selectable as a stand-alone stage. As of 7.0.3, the Online Practice Stage is loaded as its own icon, but without the common3.pac file, the icon is loaded as [[Flat Zone 2]].

+*Many moves received slight alterations. For example, [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser's]] forward smash now produces a fire effect on contact with the opponent.
-*[[Buffer]] time for moves can be changed to 0-10 frames in Versus mode (Brawl's default is 10). This is done by replacing the handicap with buffer settings, with every 10% being one frame of buffer.
-*Using the [[C-Stick]] for a downward aerial attack no longer produces an auto-[[fastfall]].
+=="Melee 2.0" Claims==
-*[[Landing lag glitch]] removed.
