A preview of the gameplay loop of Quickplay matchmaking [DISCLAIMER: This is still very much in progress with many bugs to squish, do not mistake this for a final version]

Tested on the personal machines of WhiteTPoison and Iris Flower, the fade away during the training stage was just cuz Poison was doing something rq before she started searching. Still many bugs and crashes to troubleshoot through and work to be done, but we are very proud to 1/2

showcase this and look forward to showing more as things progress! As always the best way to keep up to date is to check out the developer chats on the project's discord. Link in our Bio :) Feel free to ask questions as well and I can answer best I can - Iris

@kaz_maniandevil

That quickplay loop already looks clean for an in-progress build. The bug disclaimer just makes the next showcase more tempting.

Holy shiiiiiiit let's gooo!!!

Can this be played on real hardware???

absolutely not lmao

Massive. Thank you for your work. Any idea roughly how much more there is to do before we can expect a release?

A lot of the work left to do involves squishing the laundry list of bugs and ironing out everything. Still much more work to be done and before any official release we plan to do extensive testing to ensure a release is of acceptable quality

Glad to hear progress is steady and you’re ironing things out. Thanks for all the hard work. This is going to be very fun for me and my group. Can’t wait

HUGEEE

COCHI ROLLBACK

This is huge!

My favorite thing about brawl mods is that they always have some bullshit css screens like this (compliment)

bro you don't want to know how crazy imma go with slippi for p+. Like you dont even understand vro

is this wiimmfi?

This is on Dolphin Emulator, this will never bee on Wii Console ever

will tripping be disabled?

Brawl will use whatever the modern ruleset entails

incredible

@LiquidHbox

Is this planned to have rollback netcode?

Yes! Rollback netcode will be utilized in both Quickplay and Direct mode. Brawlback is aiming to be Rollback netcode + matchmaking + enhanced replay capabilities for Brawl and P+

LET'S GO!!! I'm so excited for the future when I'm finally able to play P+ with rollback online.

Is this within the online play menu thats in brawl?

Correct, this is accessed via Brawl’s (P+’s in this case) “Play Online!” menu button. We choose not to included footage of that as the current process is rather janky and not reflective of what the actual flow will be once completed

@WombatFights brawlback is coming @Shadowhawke you can’t hide forever

I'm so excited oml

You guys doing gods work with this. Looking forward when it releases :)

oh shit using the classic mode versus is creative! hope progess is still being made i thought this was abandoned years ago haha

massive

YES YES YES I NEEEEDDD THUS

This is so crazyyyyyyyyy!!!!! Dreams come true.

very nice 👍

so hype omg

Will it work with other P+ Mods like Super Smash Rex?

Our official support will extend to vBrawl and P+, other mods such as REX will be up to the mod creators / teams to support and resolve any compatibility issues

That makes sense

please do not use the classic mode thing it is SOO UGLY please dont

Will we be able to use custom skins, stages, music etc without causing desyncs or other issues with brawlback or do both players still need the exact same game build like right now with PtP netplay?

As of right now they have to be identical SD.raw files but this will likely be looked into in the future. The priority right now is to get it to actually work and then extra content and fluff can be researched after

Will Brawlback work with different builds of P+ like Ontario for instance?

In theory it should, although custom builds will have to be adjusted to include the necessary Brawlback plugins. At the moment we are focusing solely on Vanilla P+ and once that is stable and working we will likely experiment with seeing how custom builds handle

I'm so excited for this :)

Will there be a ranked ladder/Elo/leaderboards?

TBD, likely not at first

OMG THIS IS HUGEEE!!! ❤️❤️❤️

@Rap1238727 Awesome!
