I love how Sonic does his Adventure Pose in beyond melee.
Yep!
I was expecting a taunt or a post homing attack animation but no, IT'S HIS FRIKKEN UP AIR
@@roboticjanitor3332 Yep! Which is AWESOME!!
In 64 Remix I love how his down air is Yoshi’s and it really fits for Sonic.
I still remember the fake image of Sonic being in regular Melee from back in the day, way before Brawl and the rest. Yea, whoever made that got me good.
I really love mods which feels like extensions of the original game, not just in mechanics but in visual style, time period and being logical inclusions. Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is getting a similar modding boom ATM and I love that all the modders just add Marvel and Capcom characters to it, makes it feel more official
Right :D
Agreed and it's fucking amazing!! We just got iceman added in and I love it
MVC mods are really good. I just wish that they add custom slots and maybe slots with nothing in it so we can play 1v1s or 2v2s if we like
Iceman looks so good 👌
The MVC3 modded characters are always too strong I feel actually.
I love that the new characters looked like they were from that era, especially charizard
Yeah! The only thing that bothers me though is that Charizard has Flare Blitz, but that wasn't a move until gen 4, and Melee came out exactly a year (to the day!!) before gen 3 (I didn't realize Melee and Ruby/Sapphire came out on the same day a year apart until I looked it up just now lol)
@@pinkie723 With a bit of imagination you could see It as a "Smash original" move. Some characters have attacks that were first seen in a Smash game
@@pinkie723 mewtwo fair shadow claw (or shadow scratch as melee names it) wasnt a move in second generation
Sonic didn't look anything like that in 2001 though, where are the soap shoes???
@@pinkie723is it really a big deal though 🤦♂️
I find it bizarre that the Akaneia build doesn't actually include an Akaneia stage
I'm sure it's in their plans, but the logic for the characters also applies to stages. It's easier to bring back old stages to get familiar than it is to jump right in to a new stage.
I'm kinda surprised they didn't translate it to the official English title of Archanea, but I get the appeal of using the Japanese concept name and that name wasn't adopted until 2008 when the Shadow Dragon DS remake came to the US.
@@Aaronitmar Where's Sector Z???
@@gundum1o1 It's now caller Corneria, and takes place in a city instead of space.
@@gundum1o1 SHUT UP
I honestly only play beyond melee a ton because it has something that the hardcore sonic fan in me loves, giving sonic a moveset that isn't just him being in ball form like the official smash games.
Like giving him his boost and the dropdash as specials, while also having great references in his nair being one of the tricks in the advance series, and up air being the adventure pose as a kick.
it all feels so much better than sonic's actual representation in smash
Yes, I was very disappointed playing brawl and finding out his moveset is so boring. Even his final smash felt underwhelming and weak.
Even the foward air is his axe kick from Sonic Battle
"Every Super Smash Brothers game has a modding scene."
Smash 4 Modding scene:
...
There's a pretty decent modding scene for Wii U, and while not huge, there are some neat mods for 3ds
It was WAY bigger back in the day, but now it’s barren because that game got cracked WIDE open.
And also because Ultimate’s here, and most modders from the Smash 4 era moved onto Ultimate.
@@OverZeelous Yeah I remember the days before Ultimate when the modding scene was huge!!! There was a lot that was able to be modded, but I do wish they would've figured out something like a clone engine for new fighters. The closest I got was making echo like fighters with some of the custom specials over skins. I'd love to see people make a clone engine for Smash 4!!!
4xM
Uhhhh.... 4xM
3DS has mods too
These mods, along with Melee’s source code decompilation in the works makes me super excited to see what’s next for this game.
It’s essentially my childhood getting DLC.
FREE dlc
how far is the decomp?
@@jaygiemtg7511 Like in Ye Olden Days.
Oh snap there's a Melee Decomp project? That's gonna be _wild_ once that gets cracked.
If the SM64 and OoT decomps are anything to go by, a Melee revolution is just around the corner
I want to see wario, ayumi tachibana and other characters that were cut from melee enter the game
You mean to tell me there’s 3 different mods based off an unused Fire Emblem Archenea stage
And none of them actually made an Archenea stage?
Thank you so much for covering our work on Akaneia! I also really appreciated the Melee 64 shoutout. :-)
Assuming you're on the Akaneia team, thank YOU for all your hard work on this amazing project! :D
@@Bandrik I am one of the core team members. :) I help a lot with general direction and textures. I also do all of our social media and videos. Thank you. :)
@@ConnorRentz well then hell yeah. I have no idea how you all figured out how to make custom movesets and game modes, but you are digital gods. Or at least scions. Either way, thank you all for gracing us mortals with your generous gifts. :D
All Is missing Is Ridley, King K. Rool, and Banjo Kazooie for both Smash Remix and Melee HD.
Needs King Dedede too
After seeing Ridley in Melee intro for so many years, he deserves it, Samurai Goroh as well.
What about porting WaLuigi in Smash Remix? They already put Conker in there (another character not in any smash games) Also, maybe put Peach as well
@@israelsoarescunha2965I also hope that Smash Remix and The Akenia Build will include these DK Character's-
Dixie Kong (Who is decades overdue for A Smash Game)
Funky Kong
Cranky Kong
The DK 64 Crew
Stanley The Bugman From the 80's DK Arcade Games
Ect.......
Volleyball and tag should be an official mode in the series, cool innovations for casual/competitive play
Here are ton more suggestions for other fun casual modes that would make the Smash series even more casual friendly
th-cam.com/video/Qrg3HwpG3iQ/w-d-xo.html
@@squallleonhart9387 these are pretty interesting and worth a deep dive for creating new engaging modes, or to keep these in, we could have a Mario party type of mode that used stuff programmed like these, hopefully multiversus goes the brawlhalla way and experiment with new modes like these and theirs(and hopefully we get an 8 player mode to play games modes like football and the like
I read really incredible how they managed to replicate melee’s style that well. It’s magical to see a mod that looks good enough to be official
10:28 Yo, they gave Sonic his Sonic Adventure pose as part of his up air! From the brief animation I saw of Sonic in this video, I already feel like he's a bit better than normal Smash sonic when it comes to style. From the poses and the motion blur on his attacks, this feels more like Sonic to me. Brawl's version was pretty good, but he just got less and less expressive over time. Sonic got done dirty.
"What do you look for in mods"
A mod that makes Bowser, Kirby, and Pichu S Tier and Fox, Falco, Marth, and anyone else at the top F Tier. Matter of fact, full-flip the tiers. "Revenge of the Fs"
Imagine if Akaneia made an experimental patch that intentionally added some Melee Jank™ to their characters, like having Charizard's Rock Smash give you temporary superarmor when you interrupt it by falling off a ledge.
_"And even Flare Blitz, though surprisingly, he doesn't deal any self-damage when using this move."_
So it's basically more like *Dragon Rush* (a custom variant from _SSB4,_ which is less powerful but hits multiple times, starts up faster and doesn't deal self-damage), then?
still only one hit
Pichu, Roy and G&W stay as the only characters who can give themselves damage.
I just love that the Melee scene is making up for criminal lack of Star Fox characters in Brawls scene
The Akaneia build has since added Sonic and Lucas into the game. It's nice to see this project get more updates.
Speaking of Lucas
I still hope that the Akaneia Mod will get the idea to add more Mother/Earthbound Character's
Add in these guys-
Porky Minch
The Masked Man (Claus)
Kumatora
Jeff Andonuts
Poo
Boney
Giygas From Mother 1
Ect......
I feel like the Wii was just begging to be hacked, so it makes sense that Project M exploded on the scene and became super popular. This on the other hand is probably because of the outbreak which then forced people to play on computer ports and netplay. Ever since Slippy, melee found its spark once again and because of that, melee modding was back in play. Because of people playing on a PC port of it with great netcode, maybe it was easier to get the files of melee to then add things or retexture old things.
Imagine going back in time and using modded footage to convince people certain characters were in the game
Since the Beyond Melee build added original characters on top of preexisting ones some characters I would love to see in a Melee style are Shadow the Hedgehog, Lara Croft, and Ryu
you should be banned from having opinions
@@seebs_keeps_talking wdym?
@@seebs_keeps_talking it’s not so much an opinion as these characters are more so hopes and wishes for the future of the Beyond Melee build
@@seebs_keeps_talking
I mean at least those characters didn’t debut after Melee, I mean look at Smash 64 Remix which has a Persona Stage, Dark Samus and not Earthbound 64 Lucas as the default. Those things feel more out of place for a mod of a game that came out in 1999.
Shadow did technically debut before melee, but only around 5 months before melee came out.
Beyond melee is still my preferred way of playing melee. Even if it's not a competitive masterpiece. Then again, Melee was never that to begin with... I think of it as a pretty good competitive experience. Beyond can at least add in some depth where there wasn't before... Can't wait to see what newer platform fighters, like Multiversus, Fraymakers, and even mods like these will add to this budding genre of fighting games in the future.
Same
My favorite smash mods have always been the ones that served to make the game more insane and chaotic. Brawl minus is still probably one of my favorite examples of this personally
7:47 Super Smash Bros 2 Turbo -Championship Edition HD Online Third Strike-
I feel like if the Akaneia build and Beyond Melee combined into one giant build, it would have been possibly the perfect if not an amazing change to Melee.
They're not compatible in philosophy
Imagine if the akaneia project become the acrtual of playing melee competitively since it’s just melee but better
it wouldn't because the new characters would be low tiers
@@ravelnavarro4358 that can definitely be true but it’d still be fun
The fact they made the trailers for wolf and the others to how they did in vanilla melee gives me hope that a god actually exist, They're filled with so much charm.
I was really happy when I heard of Beyond Melee! I've never seen Raichu in any sort of mod, and I really wanted the entire Pika line in Smash ^^
Well Melee was the last because...mods of the other games just always try to make that game Melee...
I accidentally pressed play on the notification lol
I accidentally subscribed, turned all notifications, liked, shared, saved, donated, created and commented all on this video lol
I don't know what I just commented.
Idk man, I did it intentionally
👍
Glad Akaneia and the broader Melee modding scene is getting some love! Thanks, Aaron. Well-deserved.
David, it’s you.
@@Marchers46 👋
@@davidvkimball Thank you for replying, you’re a massive inspiration to me and I was wondering.
Kinda weird to se a Charizard using Flare Blitz on a Melee mod that's meant to reflect characters as they were back in the day, as Melee came out when Pokémon's Gen II was around, and Flare Blitz wasn't a thing until Gen IV
Just remove the fire effects and say it's Double Edge. Boom, temporal paradox averted.
@@PantaroParatroopa actually that'd work :P
Since Flare Blitz did not give off a fire recoil, removing the effects might become a Double Edge.
Tho, modders sometimes don't care about moveset origins and just port it directly from existing games because it's quicker. Would like to see an actual modpack of any Smash game where it adds characters that have movesets during their era.
Smash Remix does not count because they have characters past 1999.
The things I love about the mod is staying true to the time period which in Melee’s case is 2001. Smash 64 Remix doesn’t stay true to the time period, there’s a Persona Stage, Dark Samus is there, Lucas is in too but not in his Earthbound 64 design as the default.
Sector Z is the only 64 stage that didn't return in The Akaneia Build, but Corneria serves a similar purpose.
of course the biggest chunk of Melee modding was to mod the fun out of it, so happy to see creative modders finally get their hands on the game & give us the fun stuff
The largest playerbase of melee made the majority of the mods, im shocked i tell you
@@jigglypuff7039 yeah that's why im shocked the fun Mods have eluded Melee
@@Artista_Frustrado is brawl fun to you
I'll have you know that I very much enjoyed the competitive geared mods that came before this, 20XX hackpack adding good CPUs and training modes for advanced tech were a godsend
@@chainswordcs yep, All Items cranked to the Max!
MODS THAT ALSO DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION
Melee 1.03 - Try this. This build is competitively focused and provides new controller fixes and (maybe most impressively) a LATENCY REDUCTION toggle for making almost ANY LCD run as fast as a CRT! There is a CRT mode, LCD, and FAST, which is experimental/for the worst of TVs only.(Otherwise it's too fast)
Also Slippi compatible!!
20XX - This was the crown standard for all Melee mods for a long time, and implemented the UCF that's universally accepted today. There's a newer version out now, 5.0!!
UnclePunch's Training Mode - This was in the video, but I'm not sure if the name was mentioned.
Happy Melee everybody.
Charizard mod is great but my one nitpick would be to replace Flare Blitz with a move Charizard could learn back in Gen 1/2. Flare Blitz didn’t exist during Melee.
Love u bro keep up the amazing content 😩 ❤️
I think the recoil on Charizard's Flare blitz was removed because it could have been representing Flame Wheel instead despite not being able to learn it in Gen 2 pokemon
Happy 4th of July everyone!
I'm shocked *neither* of the mods added Wario as a character.
Wario is in Smash 64 Remix, he’s been in for a while too. They also added Sonic, and check this out, Sonic’s Down Air is like Yoshi’s and it’s fits him like a glove.
@@squallleonhart9387Speaking of Wario in Smash Remix
Still hope that Remix adds in Captain Syrup as a playable fighter
Always love seeing Melee content pop off, commenting for algorithm
I would love to see what the akaino build will be in the next few years as that build could be the next project plus but for melee.
I always wanted Raichu in Melee. When I first played that game over a decade ago, the rumor going around was that Raichu was an unlockable character, but you had to beat All-Star mode on the hardest difficulty with Pichu. And I always wished that Raichu had been in the game, just with a different moveset.
4:03 Fun fact: The line is a mix of ( *bonus* stage) and (choose your *character* )
Very well made and informative video, thank you
Ill keep an eye on that archanea build. a mod that doesnt just add different layouts of battlefields for stages and even adds in silly new modes is something worth checking.
10:40 they gave pichu a WHAT
A Shine! Who raised that Pichu? SLIPPY?!
I have never played Melee, but this is still impressive to see. Mods and ROM hacks are always fun to look at.
Whoever made these mods big props
pretty cool. Makes me wanna get back into playing melee. I still have the game and a gamecube
10:19
"...and lastly we have both *_Meta Knight_* and Sonic. These two are probably *_the closest to their official Smash appearances"_*
*_FEAR._*
I really like Akaneia, but I feel like Beyond Melee is too much. I feel like there's a cool middle ground where the vanilla stuff is only slightly changed (fixing characters' bad hitboxes, shields, etc. or bad stage collision, namely battlefield), but still adding new characters and modes and stuff. Idk if Akaneia would consider something like that, but consider myself in favor of it.
I noticed something
-Kirby, Meta Knight and Bandana Dee in SSF2
-Kirby, Meta Knight and Gooey in Crusade
-Kirby and Meta Knight in the other Melee modpack
*Dedede always gets shafted*
i hope akaneia adds sonic and knuckles and an akaneia stage and anything else that was supposedly planned for melee before they were pushed to complete it in time
finishing zelda and game and watch's movesets or having an option to turn character balance on or off on individual characters would be interesting too, to merge the games
i still think young link deserved an ice arrow option
Fay's still kind of a weird pull if you ask me, I'm guessing they didn't want to put in Krystal without a dedicated Staff moveset?
_Atleast shes not decked out in slave leia fetish gear._
We were robbed of cool characters like Miyu and Fay, I’m glad to see them get any sort of love and attention, it’s not like Nintendo gives a damn about Starfox as of right now.
BM devs said that there had been enough attempts/other mods with Krystal, and they wanted to be able to go for something new without being held to the ideas that came before with a character like Krystal. I think this was a brilliant move for them.
@@Pslamist personally I think Katt Monroe would have been a more relevant pick considering shes one of the more prominent reoccuring characters in the series.
It would be really fun to go back in time and show our younger selves these wonderful mods from the future. Essentially our childhoods getting DLC, I would even show my young self PMEX Remix!
Wolf has a melee model seen in the opening trailers
I overall prefer Akaneia's philosophy, though I'd like to see some of the lower tier characters get tuned up.
The Akaneia build seems really interesting. I really like the little mini games. It's so cool that people are modding melee. I need to pay more attention to the modding scene for smash
I love how simple this mod is and all the models are fire
These mods look really simple but cool. Nothing too crazy like Brawl and U mods but still really cool nonetheless
SD Remix had no nerfs, only buffs
Yeah I think I was looking for this video
the reason Flare Blitz doesnt do self-damage is because its most likely flame wheel, as flare blitz didnt exist when melee released
although charizard can’t learn it, this doesnt stop pikachu and pichu from having Skull Bash
beyond melee is beyond based
If there’s another Meta Knight mod for Melee, I kinda hope that the mod Dees could go to a step ahead and call in Eric Stuart into the role. It was during the era KIRBY Right Back At Ya was released.
If we get an impressive mod like this for Ultimate, that’d be amazing.
This is low res P+.
Melee isnt hard to customize, its just that they didnt want Nintendo hovering over the scene.
Mods that are high enough quality to where if other people wouldn’t know they’re mods or quality of life additions are the mods I go for first in literally anything
Facts
They gotta add Sonic in the next build
With Ryan Drummond Voicelines!
This video is really cool. Because of this I might finally play Melee for the first time
5:42
Charizard: Mmmmm PokePuff
Also Charizard: AAH BIG SCARY MONSTER!!
All-Star Versus
Speaking of Dragon Ball, if they could make an 8-Player Smash, you might be able to sort of make a Tournament of Power styled battle with that.
I was expecting Banana Peels to simply damage you and bounce back, like how they were handled in the Wii fighter Twinkle Queen.
Beyond melee looks pretty cool
Cool!
Sweet!
Charizard’s flare blitz looks more like Flame Charge as it goes through goes and doesn’t deal self damage also he doesn’t get recoiled
that time frame when everyone was playing volleyball was really fun my pikachu was getting nasty
I love the Smash community when it comes to these mods
My gripe about beyond Melee is Sonic's character model. It just looks like they ripped it straight from Brawl and retextured it (and Brawl Sonic's design is based on his appearance in Sonic 06, which released 5 years after Melee).
If Sonic were to be in Melee, I would see him in his design based on his appearance in Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, since that was his most recent design at the time Melee first released.
They should add Characters from the Assistance Thing, id love to see all the weird Assistance from Brawl as Playable characters, or the Trophies, i love that game aesthetic
I would love to see a Rivals video like this
The wonderful thing about Wolf, Charizard and Diddy in Melee is that they feel so natural like they could’ve actually been in Melee back in 2001, they do not look out of place in the slightest. The Akaneia Team did an amazing job with them, I predict Wario or King Dedede will be next. My 3rd and final out there prediction would be Ayumi Tachibana, yes she was actually supposed to be in Melee.
My dream choice would be James Bond (circa Goldeneye) since Sakurai actually considered him.
"Planet Zeebs"
Also surprised you did not mention Melee 20XX. Especially 20XX Tournament edition. It has TONS of costumes, music, past/future/custom stages, alt custom new abilities, and competitive tweaks in debug, as well as customizing map textures with toggle packs, and custom minigame modes. You can even play as the polygons, Giga Bowser, and both Hands. It's a really old mod too
the website says it dont even support costumes lol
Amazing.
The video ended too soon. May I have more please?
charizard and wolf look really good
Shadow mewtwo having pokken’s synergy gauge is awesome ngl
Raichu looks dope!
Something modding can do that DLC never did is add alternate/new skins to existing characters, like a Hero's Shade alt for Link (sadly only in Smash 4 atm). Sadly my PC is too old to emulate the other smash games (except 64) and I own the currently unmoddable OLED Switch so I can't mess around with it atm.
idk why, but I really like the thumbnail. I think its the fact that it uses older-looking models, just looks far better than most newer models imo.
Sonic in Melee goes as far back as 2002 when Electronic Gaming Monthly did their annual April Fools joke, when they said that Sonic is in Smash Bros Melee and all players had to do to unlock him was by getting 20 KOs in Cruel Melee. Obviously, it was a joke, but EGM later ran a contest where if players submitted videos of them getting 20 KOs in Cruel Melee, they would receive a copy of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the GameCube
So cool.
I'd love to see Team Akaneia add characters like Sigurd into Smash as a 3rd Fire Emblem rep. Also it would be awesome to see Team Akaneia add Ayumi Tachibana as a surprise character. That would be incredibly fun.
As for Beyond Melee I'd like to see them eventually balance characters from Melee that aren't in Beyond Melee so that they can finally join the roster. Melee without Kirby or Ice Climbers doesn't feel the same. Also, I'd love to see more wacky characters. Hell maybe even Astolfo from the Fate Series.
I like both and both offer different things.
Sonic is In! I wonder if James Bond will make it too see to og melee scrapped characters
This was interesting at first I was like meh but then the volleyball and extra stuff looked fun.
There was a brief period of time where seemingly everyone had fun with Akaneia and especially Beyond Melee, but it quickly died out and I haven't heard or seen anything about the games since winter. Apparently development is in disarray due to differing creative visions and lack of time/staff, which is a shame.
Wish mods like these stuck around for longer and were developed further. It's hard to let go of something you've grown accustomed to for the better part of 2 decades, but I'd actually love for more alternative ways to play the game, or even a community made balance patch.
The biggest draw in my opinion are mini-games like volleyball. It's such a perfect fit with the physics of the game that I'm surprised it's not an official game mode in the future Smash titles. I hope we can see more similar things to it, that don't feel detached from the core gameplay.
If they can add Isabelle to a Melee mod, I COULD give the game another chance again, but until then, I'll stick to Ultimate
At best Villager would get in since Animal Forest/Crossing just barely came out on the N64. Melee is a 2001 game mind you.
Honestly, Beyond Melee looks good. One HUGE problem I've always had with Smash Remix is that, aside from Conker and Mad Piano, every playable character added was already in Smash Bros, which mitigated the reason for me to play it. Beyond Melee having 4 exclusive characters is, Honestly, pretty awesome.
