Cool! All you need now is your insignia in the top right corner and it will look like a smash 3 DLC!Well, This is just dandy. In hype of the new direction, I did a thing.

Donezo. Also, "Cool", i see what you did there.
You my friend, are something else.Looks like the cold didn't bother Marth anyway...
I haven't been this excited about this project since I first heard about it! I wish there was some way I could help, but I'm bad at all the things involved in making this. God's speed to all of you!Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates lately, but I've got an announcement to make!
No, we're not quitting.
Up to this point we've been working on making textures with the goal of making them more "Nintendo-esque," meaning reducing their designs to a more simple approach. From this point onward though, we'll be changing our project goal from "Nintendoise" to "Modernise" and focus on bringing the Smash 4 visual style to Brawl. I'll explain in detail why we've made this choice in a bit, but what does this mean for you guys? More consistent textures, as we'll actually have an established visual style to work off of. Maybe even faster releases because we'll have reference material as well.
As we've made progress, we've received feedback on a few characters that they just didn't look right (namely Ganondorf and Roy) while other characters were well recieved even though they were developed the same way. We've thought about this for a bit,and realized that though the "Nintendoise" approach works well for more simple characters, it doesn't translate well to more complex characters like Ganondorf. To illustrate this, I'll be using charcters from both extremes: Toon Link and Ganondorf.
Here's Toon Link as we have him currently. His design has a clear inspiration from his Wind Waker appearance.
Then, we have Ganondorf. We tried to imagine him as he would look between Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, a bit like how people described Skyward Sword initially.![]()

Though they look consistent, there's just something that doesn't feel right with Ganondorf because his design called for more realistic textures.![]()
To test this theory, we tried giving Ganondorf more realistic textures:
He looks much more fitting with darker and more detailed textures. The difference is most noticable in the hair.![]()
But then put him beside Toon Link, and the difference in their styles is huge. They just don't look consistent, and don't look like they're part of the same game at all.
We then realized that Smash 4 is visually doing what would make sense for us to do next, so we chose to create a Smash 4-esque texture for Toon Link:![]()
![]()
Much better! Ganondorf gets to keep his more detailed textures, and Toon Link still fits in. Keep in mind that these textures are both still WIPs, and are subject to change.![]()
As you could probably tell, we were already drawing inspiration from Smash 4, but now to keep consistent we'll take as much as we can from Smash 4. We don't aim to replicate Smash 4 1:1, as some things can't be done as they are in Smash 4. That said, this is still a visual overhaul of Brawl rather than a complete mod.
We won't be adding Smash 4 characters.
We won't be reworking the gameplay to match Smash 4.
We won't be adding Young Link.
We will still be called Smash 3 though. We've come up with a new logo to go with our new project goal as well!
We hope to roll out these updates as soon as we can, and thank you all for your continued support!
We've also added a FAQ to the OP, you'll be happy if you read it.
I was only 9 years old. I loved Smash 3 so much. I had all the textures and alternate costumes. Every night I would pray to Taiko, thanking him for the life I live. Smash 3 is love, I'd say. Smash 3 is life.
Yes, that is there because King Dedede is his name... why that odd question?@Taiko Are you guys aware your HUD says "King Dedede" under Dede's BP?
I dream about the first part too. I don't pray to myself though, that's weird.
He goes by "dedede" in the stock PM CSS, and the announcer only says "dedede"
On Saturday nights I go by Sapphire when I stand on my usual street corner.
Its King Dedede, not Dedede. We respect DDD's position as
go look at it
I like how people are liking this when you're wrong lol.
I can respect that.
I said I wasn't sure... People were probably liking it in reference to the joke I made, not my edit that I said wasn't certain.
They probably were...or maybe not.
Actually, they changed that in PM where the announcer only says Dedede. I personally don't like it since it takes away from his title, so I got the Rina-Chan announcer pack to rectify this and because I like Rina-Chan.
You should probably keep that in your mind. Particularly since he did say that he could be wrong and that he is almost positive.
has spoken.
Pretty sure huh? Why dont you go check instead of just guessing

"Hey get outta here you!"
Yeah, my bad, I forgot that it was changed in PM. No need to get all sassy about it, though.
Fellas fellas, cant we all just touch tips and get along?
Pointing out other peoples ignorance aint sass bro, come on now.
yes we can
It depends. We don't aim to replicate Smash 4 1:1, so if we don't feel like they need an update, they won't get one.
Texture and music hacks are allowed as far as I'm aware. Just nothing that would physically change how the character plays or how a stage works.
This is from the official Project M APEX ruleset: "* Custom music is allowed as long as it’s not too distracting, but any textures or vertex hacks outside of the official team color textures are not." At most locals, the rule is what was just stated, or they are allowed to request to not play on a set up with texture hacks. I'd rather not have to deal with the risk of people complaining over something so silly.
