Brawl+

This article or section may require a cleanup. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Brawl+ is a working project designed to make various aspects of Brawl more competitive. It no longer requires specific software to be installed to the Wii. More information can be found at The Official Brawl+ Site at BrawlPlus.net. Some members of the Brawl+ community have hosted tournaments using versions of the engine, though Brawl+ hacks are not considered legal for standard Brawl tourneys.

Features

• No random Prat Falling. Moves that trip the opponent such as bananas will still trip.
• A new character select screen with independent icons for Zelda, Sheik, 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, Ivysaur, and Charizard, though Pokemon Trainer can still be selected. For the stand-alone characters, Stamina has been removed, and the Pokemon will not cycle upon 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.
• Automatic L-canceling, also known as ALR or Aerial Lag Reduction (most characters' landing lag from aerials has been reduced to 50%; Captain Falcon and Lucas to 40%; Link to 35%)
• 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.
• Window of time for dash-dancing lengthened, enabling more Melee-like DDing.
• Ability to shield during dash-dancing.
• No Stale-Move Negation.
• Stage freezing. -Stops all stage movement, potentially allowing for more neutral stages. Only applies for:
  • Luigi's Mansion - Formerly, the stage would always be in the "destroyed" mode, known as the Deadlands, however, it has recently been modified to transform at 1/3 speed, so all destruction animations and how long the mansion is destroyed last three times as long.
  • 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 sweetspot ledges.
• Lag-less edges - characters can now drop from or climb onto ledges immediately after grabbing them
• Incorporates the File Replacement, allowing Brawl+ users to easily download textures, music, and Project Smash Attack Characters. In the most recent version of Brawl+, this is how individual character edits are made, although physics and other gameplay changes are still in a codeset form.
• 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.
