''Project M'' is a mod of the 2008 Wii fighting video game ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', created by the community group known as the Project M Development Team (PMDT or PMDev Team; previously known as the Project M Back Room). It is designed to retool ''Brawl'' to play more like its two predecessors, ''Super Smash Bros.'' (1999) and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (2001), in response to fan complaints about ''Brawl''s physics, slower-paced gameplay, larger use of chance elements, and mechanics of certain attacks. ''Project M'' also brings back the characters Mewtwo and Roy, who were present in ''Melee'' but did not return for ''Brawl''. In addition, it features a new art style for in-game menus and allows players to choose certain characters individually when they are only accessible as extensions of other ones in ''Brawl''. Development started in early 2010 with the goals of reworking the character Falco Lombardi to play like his ''Melee'' incarnation and increasing the accessibility of the gameplay style, but the project quickly evolved to a full-scale reworking of ''Brawl''. The game's first demo build was released on February 7, 2011, and development lasted until December 1, 2015. The game has received positive comments from reviewers, amassed a player base of over 500,000, surpassed one million downloads, and been played in many professional tournaments. On December 1, 2015, the mod's development team announced it would cease further development on ''Project M'', effective immediately.〔http://projectmgame.com/en/〕 ==Gameplay== ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', which ''Project M'' modifies, is a fighting game with an unconventional battle system. Players battle in arenas of varying sizes and levels of complexity, controlling characters with a variety of play styles. They can attack one another with their own repertoires of special moves, or with a basic attack. Attacks can be avoided by jumping or using a short-lived shield move. Unlike most fighting games, ''Brawl'' does not include standard health gauges, but a percentage counter; there is no point at which a character is automatically knocked out from the counter getting too high, but they will be knocked farther with increasing damage. Being knocked off the screen—or falling off oneself—causes a knock-out. Players may use items for offensive purposes, such as guns and swords, or for healing purposes, such as food and heart containers. The stages, characters, and items are drawn from Nintendo's video game franchises such as ''Mario'', ''Pokémon'', ''The Legend of Zelda'', and ''Metroid'', along with Sega's ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series and Konami's ''Metal Gear'' series. The victor of a match has no standard determining factor. Rather, depending on the settings, victory may be reached, for example, by being the last player alive using a stock system, or by achieving the most KOs after a set amount of time. ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', ''Brawl''s predecessor in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, has a similar gameplay style, but there are major differences in areas such as control, general movement styles, and character balancing. ''Project M'' was designed to incorporate elements of ''Melee'' while still being distinctive in its own right. The designers' "about" page lists a number of aspects from ''Melee'' that they aimed to carry over, including fast-paced gameplay, "flowing, natural movement", a "great deal of control" in the player's movements, a balance of offense and defense—though they favored offense over defense slightly—and a complex system of combo attacks. In addition, some characters who had been present in ''Melee'' but scrapped for ''Brawl'' were brought back.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://projectmgame.com/en/about )〕 The game files can be downloaded from its official website and exported to the player's console via an SD card.〔 Players who own an NTSC Wii can install the game without any software modifications, but they must delete all custom stages created in ''Brawl'' because of the way files are stored.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Project M (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
