Brawl+: Difference between revisions

'''''Brawl+''''' is a modification project designed to make ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' more competitive. Among the first gameplay [[mod]]s released to the public, ''Brawl+'' has attained some niche appeal amongst the ''Smash'' community due to its gameplay changes. With the continuing success of ''[[Project M]]'', as well as the end of ''Brawl+''{{'}}s development in 2010, however, ''Brawl+''{{'}}s popularity has considerably fallen. In its brief popularity as a gameplay mod, however, ''Brawl+'' ended up developing its own, small tournament scene.

Despite constant disclaimers by the supporters of the ''Brawl+'' project, many critics of the mod 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". In fact, ''Brawl+'' actually started out as a "Melee 2.0" project, which included basic codes for [[wavedash]]ing and shield button-triggered L-canceling (two features that were both in ''Melee'', but later removed in ''Brawl''). While these codes have since been removed from ''Brawl+'', the arguments persist, as ''Brawl''{{'}}s changes to certain moves (such as Rest) have been "undone" to match their ''Melee'' counterparts, on top of some physics changes made to more closely emulate ''Melee'', such as higher hitstun and a significantly weakened stale move negation. While most complaints have subsided with the discontinuation of ''Brawl+'' development, the "Melee 2.0" claims continue (and may have been wholeheartedly embraced) in the spiritual successor ''[[Project M]]''.
