Brawl-: Break the Limits

Brawl- is a Brawl mod, like Brawl+, that tries to make the game feel over-the-top while also staying balanced.

Features

No random Prat Falling. Moves that trip the opponent such as bananas will still trip.
Dash cancel. Crouch to cancel a dash.
No replay time limit. The replay icon still does not appear if the match is longer than three minutes, but if the button to save replays is pressed, the replay will be saved normally.
Window of time for dash-dancing lengthened, enabling more Melee-like DDing.
Ability to shield during dash-dancing.
Ability to perform a down smash during a dash.
No Stale-Move Negation.
Lagless 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.

Gameplay Tweaks

Increased shield stun (duration stuck in shield while being attacked).
Drastically increased hitstun, being even higher than in the original Super Smash Bros.
Every character changed, ranging from subtle changes to radically recreated characters.

Bowser is heavier.
Bowser's shield is larger.
Fire Breath dissipates at a slower rate.
Whirling Fortress gains significantly increased vertical height when used for recovery. On the ground, Whirling Fortress is a multi-hitting attack after the initial hitbox.

Raptor Boost travels further when airborne and no longer makes him helpless. Grounded Raptor Boost ends with the uppercut animation instead of the falling down animation, making it more difficult to punish a whiffed Raptor Boost.
Falcon Kick is a multi-hitting attack when not sweetspotted, and restores his midair jump when used in the air. When sweetspotted, knockback is drastically stronger for both grounded and airborne versions. Grounded Falcon Kick also travels further.
All grabs are faster and have longer reach. A successful grab is accompanied by his "Come on!" SFX.
Forward throw is much stronger, being able to reliably KO under 150%. Back throw now meteor smashes.

Down aerial always meteor smashes, is faster in both start-up and ending lag, and is stronger.
Through a special taunt combination akin to the Samus to Zero Suit Samus transformation, he can perform a special "power up" taunt, and successfully completing it without interruption will cause the next Falcon Punch he uses to be instantaneous in start-up.

Charizard

Has two additional midair jumps.

Dash attack propels Charizard farther.
Glide attack has a fire effect, and is much stronger with additional graphics.
All hitboxes of the forward aerial flinch.

Diddy Kong

Can pull an additional Banana Peel when two are on the ground. Doing so causes him to perform his down taunt, and obtaining another banana. He also pulls the first two bananas much faster.
When Diddy Kong crashes using Rocketbarrel Boost, a barrel will be left temporarily behind in place, while containing damaging hitboxes.
Both his Ledge recovery and Floor Recovery have been replaced by his Down smash.
The explosion from when the Peanut Popgun is charged too long now produces a very powerful, damaging hitbox.

Dashing and air speed have been improved, while traction has been decreased.
Grounded Reflector can be cancelled via jump, similar to how it could be in Melee. Reflector also has a larger hitbox.
Fox Illusion can be interrupted by anything other than another Fox Illusion.

Warlock Punch's power is increased ridiculously, to now where it OHKOs, deals 666% damage, and is by far the strongest attack in Brawl, even exceeding the power of Marth's Critical Hit. It also has IASA frames added to the frames after hitboxes cede, essentially giving it no ending lag, and making it only punishable on start-up.
Airborne Wizard's Foot always meteor smashes, restores Ganondorf's midair jump, and is interruptible at the end by a midair jump. Grounded Wizard's Foot is drastically stronger, KOing under 100%.
Flame Choke covers much more distance at a faster speed when used on the ground, and no longer makes Ganondorf helpless if he goes offstage using it or when he uses it in the air.

The airborne version has much more forward momentum when landed as well as burying opponents upon landing on the ground.
Dark Dive throw is drastically stronger and sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory similar to Wolf's down throw. Uppercut hitbox at the end of Dark Dive has also underwent a drastic increase in power and hitlag, dealing over 20% and being capable of KOing under 50%. Laughing SFX added to when Ganondorf releases the opponent after a successful Dark Dive.

When using the forward smash, the 2nd climber can move horizontally in the direction that is held on the analog stick (left or right).

Ike

A general drastic increase in the speed of his attacks, both start-up and ending lag wise.
Quickdraw can be interrupted by anything (including another Quickdraw), doesn't make Ike helpless, and can be used multiple times while airborne without landing.
Eruption can be charged and saved for later use, accompanied by his "Prepare yourself!" SFX when it can be stored.
Final ground strike on Aether heals Ike a small amount (5%).
1/25 chance of a successful counter being an OHKO, accompanied by a dramatic increase in hitlag and his "You'll get no sympathy from me" SFX. Counter multiplier is also higher, and additional, random SFXs are played, including "Hah!" and "Gotcha!" during successful Counters.

When Ike lands while using his forward aerial, it produces a small wind effect.
Up aerial propels Ike upwards when the attack button is tapped rapidly, akin to the Luigi Cyclone.
"I fight for my friends" SFX replaces "Prepare yourself!" SFX on his side taunt.

Ivysaur

Ivysaur spins it leaves during Bullet Seed, producing additional hitboxes on its side. This also causes it to behave like a helicopter when used in the air, slightly pushing Ivysaur upward, and allowing it to move from side to side at will. However, the helicopter effect only occurs once per being airborne, and Ivysaur must land after using Bullet Seed for the helicopter effect to take effect again while airborne.
Razor Leaf deals twice as much damage, and has a random chance of producing a critical Razor Leaf, that deals twice as much damage, with high knockback and hitlag.
Vine Whip sends Ivysaur upwards if used after a jump, does not make it helpless, and can be used multiple times while airborne.
Pummel causes more damage.
Forward, back, and up throw are all drastically stronger, KOing well under 150%.
Dash attack is stronger.
Down smash is much stronger
Up smash, up aerial, and down aerial produce a larger explosion with a larger hitbox. They also have additional sourspot hitboxes added that cause varying effects. Up smash sourspots stuns opponents similar to the paralyzer effect, up aerial sourspots causes a flower effect (though sweetspotting it produces a flower effect as well), and down aerial sourspots have a random chance of putting opponents to sleep.
Back aerial does almost three times the damage, dealing 11% when both hits connect instead of 4%.

Jigglypuff

The range of Sing has been greatly increased.
Rollout can be interrupted by many things, including a natural combo into Rest if timed properly.
Pound travels slightly further, and produces a spark at the end, which upon contact damages the opponent with an electrical effect with dramatic hitlag, while sending them on a semi-spike trajectory.
Rest is much stronger, has less ending lag (Jigglypuff wakes up sooner), and recovers damage at a moderate rate while Jigglypuff is asleep, for a total of 20% if Jigglypuff wakes up without interruption. Jigglypuff also spins similar to its side taunt when it wakes up, though this animation contains IASA frames and is therefore interruptable.
Back throw now sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory, while the down throw is now a meteor smash.
Down tilt slides Jigglypuff forward, while sending opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.
Forward smash covers much more distance, giving it much more reach, and it is stronger.
The size of Jigglypuff's shield has been greatly increased, being more than twice its original size. Upon its shield being broken, a massive explosion will accompany Jigglypuff being flung, which will hit opponents right next to the explosion for 100% with extreme horizontal knockback, OHKOing them easily. Opponents a little further away will be hit for only 25% with dramatically less knockback.
Down taunt produces a wind effect that blows opponents a considerable distance away.

King Dedede

Waddle Dee Toss has become far more varied in direction and power. Dedede can choose to throw forward, vertically in the air, or almost straight down. He can throw weakly that covers barely any distance, or a smash throw that can traverse the entire stage. Up to four minions can be on the stage at once per Dedede. Also, Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos have gained hitboxes on their walking animation, making them more useful.
The vacuum in Inhale does damage, and can get an opponent stuck in their shield unless the opponent Smash DIs away.
Down throw knocks all opponents down, no longer being able to chain throw. However, it can be interrupted by a tilt after the damaging animation.
Pummel speed has been drastically increased.
Each hit on his jab combo comes out faster, and the last hit on his jab combo spins much faster.
Forward tilt sends opponents towards Dedede.
Dash attack propels Dedede forward much farther, enough to traverse an entire stage, while having the hitbox throughout.
Forward smash creates a much larger earthquake hitbox that can reach to platforms Dedede isn't on, and trips opponents instead of knocking them upward. The forward smash is also slightly faster.
Down smash slides Dedede forward a far distance when used.
Neutral aerial now has two hitboxes that hit consecutively.
Back aerial, when sweetspotted, sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.
Up and down aerials propel Dedede slightly upward when used.

When not smash thrown, Gale Boomerang covers less distance. When smash thrown, it travels twice as fast and far when. It now produces damaging hitboxes during the apex of the throw and upon return, that flinch as well. The Gale Boomerang will also follow where Link goes upon return much more directly.
Spin Attack gains significantly more vertical and horizontal distance when used for recovering, greatly increasing its recovery capabilities. The initial grounded strike and final airborne strike are also much stronger with noticeable hitlag. "Hyaahh!" SFX added to final airborne strike when landed.
Bombs can be thrown faster and further, while having much more knockback, giving them KOing capability. There is also a random chance of Link pulling a Deku Nut when he attempts to a pull a bomb.
Up and back throws are stronger, with the latter sending opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.

Double Team has less ending lag when it is not activated.
Pummel functions differently, with each pummel being four aura strikes instead of one. This greatly increases the damage output of Lucario's pummel, at the cost of making it slower.
Back throw is now affected by aura, and produces a bizarre trajectory that throws opponents behind Lucario at a downward angle, but sends the opponents across the ground to the front of Lucario.
Dash attack propels Lucario farther, with much less ending lag.
Forward smash has two varieties depending on if it is angled or not. Non-angled forward smash functions similarly to how it did in normal Brawl, except that a sourpotted forward smash produces vertical knockback. Angled forward smash appears the same graphically, but is a multi-hitting attack.
Down smash now sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.
Neutral aerial has more hitboxes, producing varying knockback trajectories, including one that sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.
The first hit of the down aerial is now a meteor smash, and instead of halting momentum, it gives Lucario a slight boost upwards and whichever distance it is moving horizontally.

Lucas

Dashing speed has been improved.
PK Freeze no longer leaves Lucas helpless when used while ariborne. The PK Freeze projectile now explodes upon contacting ground or a wall, and will explode at the end of its trajectory if Lucas is hit before ending it. The projectile itself now produces a paralyzer effect instead of freezing opponents.
PK Fire gives Lucas a larger push back when used. It is also a multi-hitting projectile that deals more damage.
If Lucas hits a wall/ceiling after hitting himself with the PK Thunder projectile, he does not become helpless and can use PK Thunder again.
PSI Magnet can be cancelled via jump, akin to how Fox's/Falco's Reflector could be in Melee.
Down throw has drastically reduced knockback, no longer being a KO throw, but increases comboing capability.
Forward tilt is drastically faster, and pushes Lucas back slightly each time it is used.
Dash attack pushes Lucas much further, and has IASA frames added to all frames after hitboxes cede, essentially giving it no ending lag, which allows Lucas to use the momentum gain from the dash attack to slide forward while using another attack.
Down smash has been altered, to where the first two hits deal extremely weak vertical knockback with less damage, while the third hit is much stronger, and sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.
Each hit of the neutral aerial has increased hitlag and damage, and the last hit now produces strong horizontal knockback.

Each stomp on the down aerial comes out faster.
Lucas' zair now produces a weak hitbox that sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory towards Lucas.

Luigi

Dashing and air speed have been drastically increased, while traction is decreased.
While random Prat Falling has been removed from every other character, Luigi retains it, with a dramatically increased rate of it occurring. When he prat falls, he travels much farther than before, can interrupt the prat fall animation at any time, and the prat fall produces a moderately powerful hitbox upon pratfall.
Luigi's footstool jump now damages (for 12%), as well as burying grounded opponents, and meteor smashing airborne opponents with much more knockback.
There is slightly less start-up and ending lag when Luigi uses Fireball. By holding on to the special button upon being pressed, Luigi shoots a larger fireball, that hits twice, dealing twice as much damage.

Forward aerial is much stronger and a different SFX is played when Mario uses it.

Marth

His attacks are generally stronger, both tipped and non tipped.
Walking and dashing speed have been improved.
Shield Breaker pushes Marth backwards when Marth uses it while grounded. When airborne, it produces much more forward momentum, and is interruptable by aerial attacks during its hitboxes duration and ending lag.
When the attack button is held, Marth will repeat his jab combo at a rapid pace.
When angled upwards, Marth's forward smash slides him forward a fair distance. When angled downwards, it slides him backwards a fair distance. An unangled forward smash functions similarly to how it did in normal Brawl. The forward smash also has an additional hitbox added right before the tip, that is stronger than the normal hitbox, but is not as strong as the tipper hitbox.
All grabs have longer reach.
Non tipped down tilt sends opponents on a weak vertical trajectory, similar to Roy's down tilt in Melee.
Down aerial has a larger sweetspot, making it much easier to meteor smash with.

Mr. Game & Watch

Dashing speed has been improved.
All Judges except for 9 have been significantly buffed, by causing varying additional effects that temporarily incapacitate the opponent.
Oil Panic will be filled from just one projectile instead of requiring three. However, its power will only be judged by the one projectile, effectively making Oil Panic much weaker. Oil Panic can also no longer be held indefinitely, but Mr. Game & Watch now puts away the bucket sooner, due to less ending lag.
Each hit on the jab combo deals more damage.
Forward tilt, up tilt, forward smash, and up smash are faster in both start-up and ending lag.
If the attack button is held, his neutral aerial uses a parachute and functions similarly to how it did in Melee. If the attack button is just tapped, it'll be his neutral aerial from normal Brawl.
Wind hitboxes on up aerial now cause slight damage.
Down aerial always meteor smashes outside of the hitbox produced upon landing.
Foward smash, if the up or down button is held upon the activation of the forward smash, will create multiple smaller and weaker hitboxes instead of several strong ones, and will end with Mr. Game & Watch releasing a parachute while holding a match. The parachute contains a strong hitbox.

Ness

Ness can now Double Jump Cancel.
PK Flash no longer leaves Ness helpless if used while airborne. The PK Flash projectile also explodes when it hits ground or a wall, and will explode at the end of its trajectory if Ness is hit before ending it.

Olimar throws all Pikmin farther when he uses his forward smash.
Pikmin are thrown upwards much higher when Olimar uses his up smash.

Peach

All Vegetables are stronger, has an increased chance of Peach pulling a stitchface turnip and items, and Peach is able to pull additional items (such as a Smoke Ball).
Up smash & tilt have been switched, though both still function similarly to how they did in normal Brawl, with the main function difference being that as a tilt Peach's old up smash can no longer be charged, and vice-versa.
Forward smash is much faster, being approximately twice as fast.
Down smash always trips opponents, with every hit.
"Hi" SFX played each time Peach pummels an opponent when they're grabbed.

Back throw throws opponents on a semi-spike trajectory.
Down tilt always meteor smashes, as well as being much faster.

Stamina has been removed, effectively allowing one to play as a single Pokémon for the entire match.

R.O.B.

Has two additional midair jumps.
Robo Beam will fire multiple shots in rapid succession when the B button is held, and when fully charged, the beams will paralyze opponents for a brief moment before knockback occurs. When the rapid shots are fired however, there is much more ending lag. There is also no longer a charging period to the weak beam after Robo Beam is used.
Arm Rotor propels R.O.B. much further when used on the ground and in the air. It is also now interruptable.
