Brawl+ is a working project designed to make various aspects of Brawl more competitive. It is only available by modifying the Wii with specific software. More information can be found on the Brawl+ FAQ at Smash World Forums.
Currently available modifications include (but are not limited to):
Features
- No random tripping. Moves and bananas will still trip.
- A new character select screen with independent icons for Zelda, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, and all Pokémon Trainer Pokémon.
- 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. Pokémon Change is still available for the stand alone characters as a purely strategic element.
- Final Smashes do not transform Samus and Zero Suit Samus.
- 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 dance.
- 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 sweetspot ledges.
- Lag-less edges.
- MAD (Melee air dodge), which enables Wavedashing. (This is not in the standard "Brawl Plussery," but can be added in using certain codes.)
Gameplay Tweaks
- Character balancing. Captain Falcon, for example, has been significantly improved.
- Faster overall gameplay speed.
- Increased Falling Speed.
- Increased hitstun, allowing for truly inescapable combos.
- Tech window enlarged.
- Greater window to dash dance.
- Perfect shield window decreased.
- Increased Shield Stun.
- Many moves received slight alterations. For example, Bowser's forward smash now produces a fire effect on contact with the opponent.
