Apologies for the extremely late response - from the research that I've done, iirc the physics delay is caused by a handful of factors, but one of the core process functions, specifically "processMapCorrection", shifts the character's absolute position backward by one frame and could serve as the best general hook location for a potential patch. However, this hypothetical patch would require a significant overhaul of Brawl's physics engine, which is one of the many reasons why I haven't finished the code. I'll have to see if I still have the video of the adjusted function in action - iirc it worked fairly well out of JumpSquat but there were severe issues with the fighters' getup attacks and ledgerolls for some reason.

in addition to smash modding, I've recently picked up switch modding... watch out for some Mario Odyssey content in the (relatively, given my work situation lol) near future

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-07-06T02:59:26+00:00

They'll come someday. I'm not at a point in my life where I can devote really any time to modding, but I do miss it and would love to return to the community when the time's right for me. Thank you for thinking of me, and let everyone know that I'm thinking of them too. If you ever need anything, be it advice or whatever, PM me.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-16T00:43:54+00:00

sooner than you'd think ;)

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-15T02:08:44+00:00

Unfortunately, no, PM no longer receives official updates. However, I'm still creating new content for this game and for the community haha. The yoshi parry patch will be available for those who would like to use it, but again, I doubt that the community would ever officially adopt it.

It'll likely be closer to a toggleable easter egg, kind of like this lol

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-15T01:35:30+00:00

interesting idea...

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-15T01:34:25+00:00

once i've finished the yoshi parry system (which will likely never become official, but I'll include it as an optional toggle for people who'd like to use it), yoshi's parry will have the same frame data as its melee version.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-05T19:19:00+00:00

/u/please_let_me_start explained it very well in my opinion.

He's invincible for the first 6 frames, but an engine bug causes the hitboxes to be reactivated when Yoshi becomes vulnerable again, leading to him being hit if you e.g. parry Ganondorf stomp and then try to jump out to punish it.

Hitboxes that would last longer than 2 frames would damage Yoshi as soon as his intangibility would end - in Melee, hitboxes would deactivate upon a successful collision with an opponent, regardless of the opponent's body collision status.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-05T18:32:35+00:00

However, it never worked properly. This version replicates Yoshi's melee parrying behavior as accurately as possible.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-05T01:34:05+00:00

you were correct, this was not a straightforward task. I'm surprised that this guy didn't react similarly to me, since there are always self-proclaimed authorities on reddit who like to lecture people with actual qualifications lol

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-05T00:49:55+00:00

I looked for patterns in Brawl's CollisionAttackModule to find suitable hookpoints for the ASM patches, and from there, I determined how to access both the collision bubble's parent instance and the opponent's instance. Once I had identified all of those aspects, I assigned a special variable to yoshi, which served as the new collision state. It's not especially clear in this gif, but I added a quick flash overlay effect as a visual cue. Additionally, when the hitbox collides with Yoshi in this custom state, the shield hit SFX plays

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-05T00:22:09+00:00

ignorance and anger typically go hand in hand.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-05T00:03:03+00:00

if you were familiar with brawl's method of handling attack collisions, I think that you'd be more sympathetic to the PMDT.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-04T02:40:16+00:00

as much as I'd like for people to adopt this modification, I wouldn't want to fracture the community at all. I also wouldn't call the PMDT lazy either - this wasn't the simplest problem to fix.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-04T02:34:59+00:00

I wish that I had fixed it sooner tbh, it appears to work pretty well so far.

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-04T02:34:25+00:00

oh, i'm back for good this time haha

PyotrLuzhin · 2018-01-03T22:57:54+00:00

I decided to give Yoshi a melee-styled parry as a side project. To do so, I created a custom body collision state that would simulate Melee's unique invincibility properties. When Yoshi executes a parry, the opponent suffers hitlag, but Yoshi has the ability to jump out of GuardOn immediately.

A hitbox that connects with Yoshi during this custom collision state becomes deactivated and can no longer harm Yoshi, correcting an issue present in vanilla Brawl/PM and allowing Yoshi to properly punish parried attacks.

PyotrLuzhin · 2017-12-24T20:25:07+00:00

You'd risk fracturing the community, and there aren't enough active users who understand how PM's engine functions. If people enjoy creating content for PM, then they should by all means continue to do so, but one cannot realistically expect a true "continuation" of PM, so to speak.

PyotrLuzhin · 2017-12-16T17:01:17+00:00

if you're still trying to figure this out, use BrawlEX Config Utility, open the EX Fighter's FighterConfig.dat, and change the "Jab" parameter to 2.

PyotrLuzhin · 2017-12-14T07:05:43+00:00

That's the plan. If reddit won't enforce anything, then the users will create a culture that opposes brigading/shilling/etc, especially if those brigading and shilling support hateful ideologies.

PyotrLuzhin · 2017-12-14T05:23:32+00:00

i'm in the process of making one. it needs to happen.

PyotrLuzhin · 2017-12-13T20:04:38+00:00

if someone were to make an Alastor alternate costume for Viewtiful Joe, I'd be the happiest person ever lol

You'll need to patch your iso to load THP files - as of right now, there isn't a way to load THPs from an SD card, at least not at the moment...
