Frequently Asked Questions

Does Project+ have Rollback?

Unfortunately, Project+ does not have rollback netcode. While it has been heavily anticipated since the release of Slippi for Melee, Project+ faces significant barriers to the development of rollback netcode with its size, complexity, and the lack of available manpower. The ongoing Brawlback project seeks to implement rollback netcode and matchmaking into Super Smash Bros. Brawl and its mods such as Project+. There is currently no timetable for its completion and release.

Brawlback and its development are not associated with the Project+ development team or this website. If you would like to learn more about Brawlback or support its development, you can join the Brawlback Discord community on the Find Communities page.

Does Project+ have matchmaking like Slippi?

Unfortunately, Project+ does not have matchmaking like Slippi. Most matchmaking happens through Discord. See Rollback for more information and Find Communities to find communities for matchmaking.

Is Project+ the continuation of Project M?

Is Project+ or Project M played at my local tournaments?

What do NTSC and PAL mean?

NTSC is one of several audio and visual standards for TV systems and NTSC-U refers specifically to the United States variant. Game developers engineered specific versions of games and systems to match the video systems of specific regions, so there are differences that make a mismatch of regional games and consoles incompatible. Project M and Project+ are designed for the NTSC-U versions of the Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so they are incompatible with versions from other regions (such as the PAL version that is prominent in Europe).

You can play Project M and Project+ as well as any other Brawl mod on any system using the USB Loader method.

To play Project+ on Dolphin/Netplay, see the Dolphin Guide.

You can find a list of the changes across all versions on the All Changes page.

Can I add new characters to Project+? Does BrawlEX work with Project+?

Is Tilt Stick fixed in Project+?

Yes, Project+ has working Tilt Stick.
See the Features page for details.

Does Project+ have L-Canceling?

Yes. L-Cancelling is a technique from earlier games in the series and Project M where pressing a shield input before landing during an aerial attack reduces the landing lag. In Project+ you can L-Cancel within 7 frames of landing to reduce the landing lag by half.

However, "Auto L-Cancel" can be toggled on from the match settings to automatically reduce the landing lag of aerials without the need to perform an L-Cancel. Auto L-Cancel is great for new or casual players or when you want a consistently fast gameplay experience. It also makes the game a bit less stressful on the hands, which can be an accessibility factor.

In tournaments, it is up to tournament organizers to determine if their tournament will run with "Auto L-Cancel" toggled on or off.
