There have been quite a few questions commonly asked by new users, and there are other things that are confusing in other ways. So, I'm starting this topic to answer questions so they need not be asked multiple times, among other reasons.
(Devs, feel free to chime in and correct or add things).
All the things you need to download for 0.7 are here:
ssbcforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=newsinfo&action=display&thread=129Instructions:
Download Nakido Flag and install it onto your computer. Then you can download the file from the link provided on that thread. Make sure to download the latest patch as well.
This thread has alternate downloads (Mediafire and MegaUpload), but there isn't one for the most recent patch yet.New version, 0.7.1, is now available:
www.mediafire.com/?cbykzcxloibj2doSo first, probably one of the most-asked questions:
Q: Why isn't Mewtwo on the Character Select Screen?
A: The Mewtwo sprites we were using were originally made for Super Smash Flash 2 (SSF2 for short). We started using them, but someone from the SSF2 dev team (Geno) came over and requested we remove Cheddar-X's sprites from the game. So, Mewtwo is no longer on the CSS.
The usual follow up question:
Q: Why are his files still in the folders, and why have I gotten him in random?
A: His sprites, sound files and etc. are still in the game folders, along with his code in the game, so that once his sprites are done (Slissith is currently working on them, last time I checked) we can add him back in simply by replacing the images and tweaking the code a bit.
(There IS a way to get Mewtwo on the CSS in 0.7, check the alternate downloads thread above and ask Red for help if you need it)
A few 0.7-specific questions:
Q: Are Metal Mario, Dark Link and Master Hand unlockable? Can we play as them?
A: No to all of them. All three are currently only opposing computer players in the penultimate (Metal Mario and Dark Link) and ultimate (Master Hand) stages of Classic. You cannot unlock them, play as them, or play against them outside of Classic.
Q: Will Metal Mario's stage and Water Temple be unlockable?
A: No. You can only play on those stages when playing against Metal Mario and Dark Link, respectively, in Classic mode.
Q: What IS unlockable in this demo?
A: Chun-Li from Street Fighter is unlocked by beating Classic on Normal difficulty or higher. Fourside (Melee) is unlocked by playing 10 versus matches.
Other general frequently asked questions:
Q: Are *some characters* or *some stages* going to be in?
A: First, check the currently confirmed character list on the "
Characters of Super Smash Bros Crusade" thread, or check the
Individual Character Boards for characters that have been confirmed to be in future demos. If they're not there, PM the Devs if necessary, but they don't usually reveal more than is necessary. If they won't tell you or you're too lazy, just post your ideas on the
Character Dream Thread.
For the stages, look to the "
SSBC Stage List" thread. If what you're looking for isn't there, there's a
Stage Dream Thread as well.
Q: If all veteran fighters are confirmed to be on the roster, why aren't Pichu, Melee Young Link, and Dr. Mario going to be in?
A: They were just clones, so there's not really a point to adding them.
Q: Why is Goku in?
A: From the OP of the download and info thread:
"There will be plenty of 3rd parties and new representatives from Nintendo games, along with a bonus -- 1 4th party (not originally from a video game series) representative that appears frequently in video games, and that is Goku."
Response by Falcon8r on page two of this thread:
We thought having Goku would help diversify the roster and give DBZ fans something to be excited about. And, to justify his inclusion, he's been in quite a few games.
Also, Goku is going to be resprited soon.
Q: The music: HOW DOES IT WORK?!?!?!
A: One song is included for each stage with the 0.7 download. If you don't like the music that corresponds to each stage, you can just delete or move the files out. To use your own music, simply place the MP3 file into the corresponding folder. If there are multiple files in the folder, the game will select one song randomly.
Q: What's this "Back Room" thing? How can I get in?
A: The Back Room is a place for competitive discussion of Crusade, where things like Meta Game and tier lists will be discussed. The application is going to be redone now that 0.7 has been released, and this section will be updated when the application is public.
Q: Is there a wiki where I can look some stuff up?
A: In fact, there is:
www.crusade.wikia.com________________________________________________________________
Questions about future demos:
DEMO VERSION 0.8
THE OFFICIAL DOJO THREAD FOR VERSION 0.8 IS HERE. The Dojo thread will be updated periodically like, well, like a Smash Dojo would be updated. There'll be information about everything in the new demo as it's revealed and as the devs allow me to reveal it.Q: When will the next demo be released?
A: The next demo (0.8) is slated for release in holiday season of 2011. So December-ish.
Q: What's going to be different and new about v0.8?
A: Well, there's a few things
planned...
-Online Play
-HD versions (1280x720p and 1920x1080p)
-Adventure Mode
-Donkey Kong (may be released in a patch between 0.7 and 0.8)
-New sprites for Goku
EVEN FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE DEMOS
Q: Adventure mode? What's that like?
A: We're planning for the adventure mode to be very similar to Melee's, and based around rival battles between characters split into two teams by Master and Crazy Hand. Each character will have an assigned rival. As the idea is pretty much finalized, there isn't a whole lot of room for suggestions at the moment, but rivalry suggestions will be taken into consideration on the
proper thread.Q: Story mode? Ooh, I wanna know about that too. And can I help?! Canicanicanicani PWEEEEEEZE?
A: There probably won't be a story mode. Sucks for you guys.
Q: What's the final roster look like?
A: Can't tell you.
Q: Any chance *random character* could be in DLC? How will DLC work?
A: Nobody seems to have the slightest clue about how DLC is going to work. I've discussed
my idea briefly with Falcon, but there's nothing solidified yet. For the time being it's being counted as "not happening".
So yeah. If you have a question, you don't have to make a topic then have it locked three posts later when your question's been answered; ask it here, and someone will answer it (hopefully correctly).
Devs, feel free to correct me on anything or add things if you like; post here or edit it right into the post if need be, I'll edit it in if you just post.
