Project M-etagame Uprise 10

Project M is a mod of Super Smash Brothers Brawl that plays almost entirely like Smash Melee. Project M-etagame is my effort to record the metagame of this competitive fighter in great detail as it develops. Find out more about Project M-etagame here.  The following data is taken from 5 top videos of the Uprise 10 tournament
  
  
   
B (Metagame Level)
6/9/2012
   
  
1. The playstyles are a mix between Melee.E metagame level and Melee.F. The Melee.E play consist of high movement and a strong sense of offensive pressure, though without the solid follow through and combo strength. Melee.F play consists of tech chasing, better edge guarding, and a focus on resets.

4. Better edge guarding/recovering all around

 

5. Better wave landing from under platforms

11. No wavedashing up from the ledge

12. Common pivot grab attempts

 

13. No footstools

14. No B reversing 

15. Rare Jab resets
