The Smash 3 Project - All Characters Released

[Amazerommu]

Next update is gonna wreck.

 

[Tailsmiles249]

Another ra- wait... this isn't a random render. This looks like a near complete render!:

This is an example of one of the Marth recolors we were going to use. I based it off Neku from The World Ends With You and meant it to replace the Project M purple. The real one has been modified to fit Marth's color scheme better. Personally I like how the new purple looks; what does it look like? You'll just have to wait for the update!

 

[GP&B]

Just. Godly render.

 

[Xenozoa425]

Other M version looks a lot better. Dem HD textures. Looks like something out of SSB4 for WiiU. 10/10. Brawl version looks more fitting for Wii, but overall could have been better i guess. 7.5/10.

I believe that's because unlike me, where I just edited and remade the Brawl textures as they were by myself (like we do with the majority of characters), Taiko and GBC were able to take the already clean textures directly from the Other M model, upscale them to a larger size to put more intricate detail into it like the spec maps, perforated metal and highlights, and then reduce the size back to normal while maintaining the quality from when it was larger. Brawl Samus was also intended to just be a side project by me since day 1, Other M Samus was the primary focus from the beginning, but there was no work on it at that time yet, similar to how we used Smash 4 Marth as our focus instead of Brawl Marth.

But yeah with all being said, even I find myself liking our Other M model more and more because of how damn sleek it looks, and this is coming from somebody that hates Other M with a burning passion. Oh well, hopefully my plethora of recolors will make up for the long time I spent on and off working on it haha.

Looks nicer and is accurate to the source (excluding the colors of course) compared to if only lights and orange parts would be recolored. Colors here most likely are too dark, but thats not exactly what im talking about.

Needs purple aura around character itself.

With the arm glows and all that? That'd be...a lot of work to get done.

omg taiko your new avatar .-.

@ MagicManNo9 made it, and...it was glorious. Glorious enough to replace Dark Pit.

Will the Other M version be Wi-Fi safe?

Of course. Everything we make is (or should be).

You believed it was Smash 3 Retro Pit, but it is actually Dio.

You'll fit in just fine here!

I can't wait for this next update. My build doesn't feel right without Smash 3 textures.

With school done, overdrive mode has begun! Again.

Leaks?! This is an unedited, raw render, so you guys can see just how much changes in the editing process when we release him!

Almost, most (if not all) of the characters are actually redone entirely from scratch, not edited from Brawl. (I actually started Smash 3 Mario because I had no idea where to start to edit it...so I made a new texture from scratch. Yeah, I don't know how I thought that'd be easier either. But here we are.)

Other M Samus' textures were entirely redone for Smash 3, and at a higher resolution than the Other M ones as well. Simply upscaling, then downscaling would just cause a loss of quality, which doesn't help when the textures are already compressed for the game. Of course, Brawl can't handle anything above 1024x1024, so the high quality textures will only be seen...on the render.

 

[BaganSmashBros]

With the arm glows and all that? That'd be...a lot of work to get done.

Not that much actually. Just recolor those black parts on shoulderpads, hips, etc. to be blue or, to make them glow, make new polygons that would cover them and make them glow. Filesize is the only issue there, but you can fix that easily.

 

[NinfanNanz]

Wow. That render is so ba-nope. can't even joke about it. That is render is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see its final product. Super hype for Project Smash 3.5.

I love it. Why must you make such an awesome render?
Now I'm going to be filled with disappointment and regret when I remake my Lord Marth texture using this as a base, as I'll have to make my own vastly inferior CSP...
That's probably the coolest Marth pose I've seen.

Question: Will we be getting updated PSDs with the big update, or will those be coming at a later time?

 

[Nezha the Scout]

Next update is gonna wreck.

Better call a doctor.

 

[Taiko]

Better call a doctor.

You all thought this meant nothing? Wrong! Doctor Mario Smashes in! ...to Smash 3!
I tried.

But wait...! That Mario looks a bit different too!

Is this the fabled Mario update? Yes it is. You might be wondering, "but Taiko! He doesn't look too different!" So here's a small comparison between old and New Mario:

Not quite as drastic as Marth, but it's the small things that all add up. I hope you're all looking forward to the update!

 

[TTTTTsd]

Oh, yes, a question about the upcoming Dr. Mario stuff!

Since you've been doing additional colors for characters based on their new confirmed colors in Smash 4, is Dr. Mario going to have that slick real as hell purple suit? I imagine his other colors are going to be matched accordingly (including his gloves, please lord I do not like the P:M Dr. Mario glove colors haha)

Other than that....it's so beautiful ;_;. You even captured the small details of his Smash 4 appearance, I see those rolled up pants at the bottom there! I will embrace the Doctor immediately upon release. Hold me to it.

*Doctor Mario is in the house!

These textures are wonderful. I'm gonna have to update my Smash 3 pack for sure.

 

[Damonj17]

Relevant.

Oh,I am....

Yes we will. We'll use the WiiU color pallet just like we did for WiiU Bowser and WiiU everyone else.

 

[TTTTTsd]

Yes we will. We'll use the WiiU color pallet just like we did for WiiU Bowser and WiiU everyone else.

Perfect! Those are all fantastic colors and I think they are quite a deal better than what we've ever seen for Dr. Mario before! Quite excited, now.

And it's those small things that I love about these redesigns; now my favorite main and favorite alt. costume got the treatment they deserve. Not even a nerfed wall-jump cancel can kill my hype for this Mario update, because Mario is love, Mario is life :D

 

[Taiko]

For those wondering which costumes we'll be doing. Yup, all of them! Even those two cBliss ones from way back. I wonder if anyone remembers those?

 

[TTTTTsd]

This is literally holding my feelings hostage. I REALLY can't wait for this update now.

 

[NinfanNanz]

And this is only the tip of it. Soon we'll get the full dosage of this update.

These doctor puns are gonna put me in the hospital...

 

[MagicManNo9]

These doctor puns are gonna put me in the hospital...

I guess we need to RE-EXAMINE these puns!


...I take my leave.

 

[Cahalan]

Yes we will. We'll use the WiiU color pallet just like we did for WiiU Bowser and WiiU everyone else.

So does that mean if someone made Doc a separate Character Slot, He can have more than 4 costumes?

 

[Nezha the Scout]

So does that mean if someone made Doc a separate Character Slot, He can have more than 4 costumes?

Yes. He'll have all of the colors.

 

[Cahalan]

Yes. He'll have all of the colors.

Goes and secretly prepares a custom PM build...

Looks like this update is going to... clean house.

We results screen now?
EDIT: Maybe the menues?

 

[TTTTTsd]

Just know that I am definitely rocking that beautiful purple Doc color Smash 4 introduced. God it's so beautiful.

Also Taiko I bet even if you didn't have to, you would've eventually made Dr. Mario...

Everybody loves him, after all :3....fufufufu

Ice Mario and Flying Mario YEAH BOI!!!!!!!!!!

Darn it! If only there was some to make an additional Mario slot on the character roster so I don't have to split up the recolors between five for each costume! I want all of them, especially America Mario!

 

[McMilla1228]

Doc and 'Merico? Decisions, decisions... Is there any chance of a Dr. Merico skin?

Welll... dun know if ya hurd... Buuuut M22K is suppoooooooosed to be working on a version of his cBliss tool that allows for up to... wait for it.... wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Spoiler

FOURTEEN COSTUMES PER CHARACTER!!!

^ Yes... that is correct. So... your ultimate Mario dreams will be made reality once he releases this updated thing... which I hope is soon... Reeeeeeeaaal soon. I have a build in the works that would be perfect with 12 costumes per...

and all of them having alt team colors...

System/common5.pac in MiscData[90], stage/melee/STGResult.pac in MiscData[120] and menu/common/StockFaceTex.brres although I don't know where the last one is used the others are in single player modes and when a battle end

 

[Nezha the Scout]

You guys know that Taiko did not ask an actual question right? It was a tease.

 

[the101]

You guys know that Taiko did not ask an actual question right? It was a tease.

I think at least half of us got that it was a hint. Having a Brawl modder part of the Smash 3 Team not know what they're doing is a hard pill to swallow.

Oh boy, you don't want to see our dev chat then. It's mostly composed of "okay, I tried this, and everything exploded" and sometimes "it worked perfectly guys!"

That and Dio faces.
