Oh yeah, I remember seeing a bit of this hack before, nice to finally get to play a demo of it lol
I actually played a little bit of it myself since I was a bit curious, and honestly I'm loving this a lot already, this shit fucks, even if I couldn't really get past the Rex Village since I was still getting used to the game's controls (both Mario and Luigi/the Koopa character, since my SMW skills are really rusty from not playing it or many similar hacks in years); this definitely looks neat for sure and I can't wait to see the final product here haha
...though uh, on the topic of the controls, personally I don't really know if I like the way both Luigi and Kadaal (dunno if I'm pronouncing his name correctly or not) feel to control here IMO; Kadaal especially feels a bit weird to get used to, and I dunno how I like the way a lot of his moves function, especially that Street Fighter sounding ass ability (the Senku or whatever it's called), really feels like you can do a lot more with it personally... maybe having the move work in mid-air and/or have it do damage might be fairly nice, especially the former since I feel it would be pretty useful to use before jumping to get a bit of a boost while jumping in mid-air, and in general it would help if he had more moves in general, maybe something like charging up that Senku ability to get a super jump out of it would be nice for one, and for Luigi it could also be good if you could do the super jump thingy from SMB2 after crouching, along with that spin move to cause damage and not stop after the enemy touches you while using it
Otherwise tho, yeah, this is good shit for sure; already can tell this one is going to be a good one to play when it's finished haha
