As long as Chuck Norris is a playable character -- I'm down.

Graal runs at 20fps. Typical console games run at 60fps.

Graal has a 0.05 timeout, which is 1 second / 20 frames.
60fps = 1 second / 60 frames = ~0.015 timeout. A huge difference in accuracy... 1/3 less accurate(I think, I'm terrible at fractions, could be 2/3).

I don't think you described that correctly because fps isn't the proper term.

The 0.05 timeout doesn't affect how many frames per second you can render, doesn't it just affect loops/checks in scripts? So it would only affect reaction times (don't most reaction times average ~0.2 seconds anyway?) and detection.
And as far as hit detection, so long as you didn't have any hits/moves that lasted less than 0.05 seconds, or the possibility to move more than 3 tiles (the player's size/hitbox) in 0.05 seconds then all hits should still be detected?

I think I described it pretty accurately. Timeouts reflect how much can be processed in a second at whatever integers. The fastest being every 0.05 for Graal.

In Smash Bros., which runs at 60fps, they're processing stuff at every ~0.015 seconds. A huge difference.

even if it was possible, what characters would you create? what would their moves be? I'm sure you could make a ton of original characters but the game would lose its charm.

[DustyPorViva]

Really though... why? Does anyone honestly think someone on Graal has the skill and time to put towards making this type of server? The amount of perfection needed to make it appealing is huge, or else it'll just flop... especially compared to Smash Bros. itself.

Yeah, more blatant rip-offs. That's exactly what we need.

Seems like nobody has a creative bone in their body these days.

Feel free to enlighten us with your original ideas.

If there are any unique gameplay ideas in there I haven't found them.

Well there has yet to be an online Zelda... but Smash Bros. is online now... so why try to offer what's already there.
