Banjo Kazooie Moveset Mod for Project M (WIP)

[@KingBobStudios]

Since we started Banjo, our animation process was... 1. Start with rough animations 2. Adjust timing, since all BKs animations are quite slow 3. Polish the newly timed animations. We had no idea Ultimate had a release around the corner! We were barely past step two when production was basically halted! What do you think of the differences? The similarities?

[@SharonisCarin321]

Pretty good! However a bit robotic. Hopefully you can somehow work Ultimates chipper idles and movement into the game! I also thought if you hold down air it can double as a Bill Drill :)

[@SharonisCarin321]

Oh also i had an idea of holding L with b to change Egg types from normal fire grenade and ice eggs :)

[@smashblaster1-up190]

This is fantastic but just because he exists in Ultimate doesn’t mean you guys should lose confidence or motivation I feel he could still be unique from his Ultimate counterpart, I mean just look at the SSF2 Team, They made a version of Simon Belmont very unique from his Ultimate counterpart without knowing he would be in that game

[@SharonisCarin321]

@@smashblaster1-up190 i was shocked ultimate only got blue eggs and grenades. Id love all 4 eggs except mecha kazooie eggs in pm

As a banjo main i like this recovery better than ultimate. I do, however, like that in ultimate he’s not a straight forward brawler. The Kazooie ability change is great! I’d take that over WW 100%

[@elbinopaper4629]

Not the model though

[@paper-03]

Honestly ai'm really intereted in this mod for the talon trot alone. It made sense in ultimate as a simple dash animation, but your idea of it being a transition into a bunch of different moves? Amazing. Keep up the great work.

[@KingBobStudios]

Thank you so much!!! When I first watched the ultimate trailer and banjo was doing the talon trot I though they were doing the same thing haha

[@jjrambles683]

It always felt weird in ultimate that their forward air wasn't the rattataprap, awesome work on this mod!

[@carlkoopa7389]

One thing I enjoy about the modding community is how extra they all are when it comes to the roots of a character and how the moves actually function in-game In ultimate (like any smash game really) he feels like a tribute to what he used to be while referencing the moveset and taking creative liberties on their implementation (see ultimate Banjo's up and down smash for example) but this one feels as if the moves were taken straight out of the game and implemented into smash Can't wait to see the finished product!

I love that you used Pack Whack as down smash. Honestly I envisioned it as their F air but that makes a lot of sense. The worst thing you can do with these kinds of mods is just to try to import the official character and I love it when they just get creative with the move set.

[@b.d.1326]

Really great work! I would not complain if this was the ultimate moveset. You should know that your Banjo version amazed me like in all the banjo release videos. I'm sure a lot of people woul freak about how good you designed them. So you would have made a lot of people really happy with all your effort. You/ your team did a really great job on this!

[@blueboy5664]

I really appreciate the effort put into this even in the face of the official reveal! I dig the work already done so I'd like to suggest some criticisms to the model to make Banjo-Kazooie look better: - I feel Kazooie's wings should be bigger as they're somewhat too small visually, and also her wings were pretty big in the original game anyways. - I'm not fully aware of the style of colors the other mods are using but I think Kazooie could use more brighter colors as she looks a bit dull, even compared to Banjo and others. - Banjo could use some eye expressions for his attacks and injury animations as he looks kind of glassy eyed. - I noticed Kazooie has a black void for a mouth in the thumbnail so I think it would look better if it were colored/textured instead. I hope any of these are useful to you, and I'm stoked to see you guys buff out the rough spots and finish this great project!

[@warioexpert]

Im glad you decided to go through with this Mod despite the Ultimate announcement, Banjo in current Smash is cool but theres something a little Off about him... your version feels closer to the true Banjo Kazooie we could have expected for the earlier games

[@windowsos4029]

Honestly, I think this Banjo mod is a lot better and a lot more interesting (and very close to how I envisioned Banjo being in Smash) than the actual Banjo DLC in Ultimate! Nice work!

[@RenzoFlame]

I just wanted to say, I think I prefer your version of Banjo-Kazooie than the one from Smash. Don't get me wrong, Smash BK is amazing and very well done, I like it a lot. But your version included what I believe are some important movesets of the character. e.g. being able to glide as when using the Fly panel. I remember each level of the original game changing drastically when I could move around just flying. And the additional combo if used while down-B is active makes it look like very fun to use. And the "shooter Mode" of Smash BK.... sounds good on paper, and it's a good reference, but most of the times I don't even use it. I'm very happy you are still working on this. And don't let Smash BK let you down, because yours is very unique

[@ivansotelo4622]

I hope more talents come your way

[@Creepyquiller]

This is what Banjo-Kazooie were supposed to be more of in Ultimate. you really shouldn't be bummed out, cause in my honest opinion, you beat nintendo in terms of quality. the only real thing i can say any form of yikes to is the model, but even then, that thing must've been made from scratch for brawl so full props, my guy. you and your team deserve a jiggy.

[@jamesv337]

Are you kidding me? Banjo & Kazooie are amazing in Ultimate. You think this guy is a better game developer than Sakurai?! Well then burn all your Sakurai-developed Smash games and worship this Brawl mod, which wouldn't exist without Sakurai because Brawl wouldn't exist.

All the time I was watching this, I was shaking. That's how hype I am. The fact that banjo runs on his own and has the talon trot for the down special with other added moves is magical to me. I didn't know the moves from the actual games almost perfectly replicated can combo really well. They have the combo potential of literally no one i've seen. I gotta be honest here.

[@sanstheredpikmin7363]

It seems like you and Nintendo had the same idea, taking the og moves and making them work in the super smash bros style. Some of the moves I wish were actually in the banjo-kazooie move set in ultimate like using the flight pads and beak bomb for the airline's, but I could see why Nintendo didn't want to use them, probably thinking it would make the two even more op

Nair could’ve been the wing whack like in ultimate. plus, the frame data could also have a drag down so he could combo it into anything almost
