Project M: Difference between revisions

'''''Project M''''' was a [[gameplay modification]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' designed to make the gameplay more closely resemble that of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' mainly, and also ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' to a lesser extent. This meant that the speed of gameplay has been generally increased, with many ''Melee'' mechanics being restored. The development team is partly descended from the original developers for [[Brawl+]], now known as the PMDT, or Project M Dev Team (formerly the PMBR, or Project M Backroom). It had members from over ten countries, though as of now, only an [[NTSC]] version has been released.<ref>http://wii.ign.com/articles/122/1223403p1.html</ref> ''Project M's'' character roster notably includes {{PM|Mewtwo}} and {{PM|Roy}} (two characters that were playable only in ''Melee'' and not in ''Brawl'') with altered graphics and movesets.

''Project M'' was commonly featured as an event at [[tournament]]s including several national tournaments, such as the Zenith series, The Big House series, and [[Apex 2014]]. Starting around 2012-2013, ''Project M'' saw a rapid rise in its popularity as more characters became playable and the mod was featured more commonly at Smash tournaments; the number of entrants for Apex 2014's ''PM'' singles event notably surpassed the amount of entrants for the original ''Brawl''. Once Nintendo realized that ''Project M'' was drawing more attention than ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' in organized tournaments, they sent a cease-and-desist letter to the team forcing the developers to take down ''Project M''. Nintendo is currently set to file a lawsuit to each of the team members for unauthorized modifications of ''Brawl'' and to anyone who downloaded the mod.
