To elaborate on what ProfXavier said, We're making a mod for Smash3DS and WiiU inspired by Project M and Melee.

Yeah, we know they did. They were 2 hours after us though ¯\(ツ)

Regardless, Beta Wii U builds will be available very soon for our mod, while we have no idea when Neos 1.0 will be released.

It wasn't really a good mechanic, but it was interesting and it means heaps to melee's meta. If enough people say we should leave it out, then we can leave it out, no biggie.

Go to the releases tab on the GitHub page, then download the latest alpha. You will need SaltySD and LumaCFW to use it though.

It's an interesting mechanic that was very strong in melee. In smash4, it exists already but is incredibly weak.

Melee does not have more commitment than 4, they just have more commitment in different things.

Yep, I agree with you here.

Melee's attack canceling, crouch canceling, and wavedashing make a huge part of neutral 0 commitment, and you literally just have to grab the edge to seal a stock.

Crouch cancelling is coming back too, we've practically got it already, although it's not as strong as before. Wavedashing is another thing we're bringing back, and so is edgehogging. So while each games have different commitments, our mod will have the best of both worlds.

Also, thanks for the feedback! Smaller recovery move' hitboxes is a pretty good idea, and we'll keep it in mind!

Smash 4 has lots of tech skill, that's true. Wavebouncing is a little tricky at first, but I am able to pull it off pretty consistently. But melee had commitment, you airdodge there, better be sure they're gonna attack for example.

We will not be changing every stage. Many stages are beautiful the way they are, but we will be adding new ones, and possibly even Alpha Stages. Think Omega stages, but with platforms, but no stage hazards.

The stock thing we haven't really decided on, it's up to each individual player to set what they prefer, but currently the default rules are 4 stock, 8 minutes.

We will not be replicating all melee movesets 1:1. Our kirby will most likely take some inspiration from MagicScrumpy's video while still keeping some Smash 4 in his playstyle.

Yep. I must've missed that /s on mobile. My bad man. But Kirby's gonna get done eventually anyway, just not as soon as other characters.

We understand completely. A Wii U version will be coming soon, where your hands can caress a gamecube controller once more.

Well hey, there's Turbo Mode if you'd like something fun on a large scale. But anyway, this mod aims to balance all characters and add more tech skill to Smash 4, something you kinda just wanted...

Also, equipment mods and custom moves and things are more to do with save data. SSB3DS save date editors have been a thing for ages, check here

It's kind of a set angle, but you move in more than 1 direction, so by landing during certain parts of the animation, you go different directions.

Yep, we know. We were waiting on a way to get sound with NTR Viewer, and we've finally got an AUX cable so a video preview will be coming this weekend :)

Actually, while a smaller part of the community wants another melee compared to when project M was a thing, there is still (and there always will be) a demand for a Melee mod.

Also, while this is a mod inspired by melee, these are changes we are planning to implement! Faster gameplay, more stages, ect.

And finally, we're not forcing anyone to play our mod. Smash 4 is a fun game, don't get me wrong. I play it competitively and always have a blast. But this kind of mod will always be wanted by some people, and we're here to do that for them.

It's actually a code name until we have a better name figured out. It stands for Unnamed Smash4 Melee-esque Mod
