Eldiran

Thanks...

Do you happen to know any other Brawl hackers who also have decent skills at hacking/ripping from other games or modeling? Preferrably on this forum?

...I can't seem to find a download link...

Action Events...? ...is that how you made him flinch?

...so... how do you go about making movesets? A coding interface, perhaps?

I think I'll download and try it now. Just for kicks. Make a couple of cheap movesets to start off.

Oh, I just own an old machine. Does PSA use Giga's actual model? If so, I can't use it. I can't even play DS games on it...

I just want to make him heavier by falling faster as in M. Take away that awkward... floaty side of him.

BTW can you get a hold of MarioKart64n? I've been trying to ask him model questions forever and he never answers me. Concerning the Model Workshop. See, I want the girl in my avatar in Brawl, and he knows how to get her from a DS game...

No, attributes can be left alone. I want a Melee Giga Bowser with Brawl look and moves. I love that most of his attacks have special FX.

Right now I don't think the computer I'm using would let me run PSA, but a guide would probably be great.

His ledge grab range is actually quite decent. He's hard to get rid of, though it's somewhat nerfed in Brawl. His range and strength are much better, though. He's probably a little to powerful for my taste, perhaps reduce knockback on attacks? He wasn't that strong in Melee

That's the main reason the Melee to Brawl shift felt off. Giga's floatiness...

He just literally FLOATS off-stage...

No, I meant too light as in he jumps high and falls slowly. Does PSA allow a character to be heavier?

Maybe 140-160% deaths would be more Giga-like. As a Giga Bowser main in Melee, I can give you an accurate estimate. I'd like Melee Giga to be reproduced as much as possible.

I don't know about too weak, but he's definitely too light. He feels strangely floaty in Brawl...

Is there perhaps a way to give him a bit less horizontal movement rather than removing it altogether?

Sorry about not replying sooner. I didn't know you had written the message on your own profile.

Anywhoo.. the items seem stronger than the characters for some reason. No character can kill him with such a low %.

What do you mean by "the same as regular characters"?

I mean the forced horizontal movement during the tumble you spoke about. Makes recovery unbelievably difficult...

I forgot about that.

Ah, yeah, I'm not surprised by that. I balanced it around the %s inflicted by characters' attacks. That's about the same as with regular characters, right?

How do mean exactly by making him not move horizontally?

Oh, well. Only Mario can turn him around. With his cape.

By high knockback I mean items. I tested hitting multiple Deku Nuts and Gooey Bombs, and the knockback is so high that it almost instantly kills him.

Can you perhaps make him not move horizontally without adding the ability to DI?

Well, he's loads of fun. I wanted a vulnerable Giga Bowser since it was announced on the Dojo that he wasn't. I find myself beating him up just to watch him flinch, he's a lot more fun to control now thanks to you! He's actually a lot more fair this time around, which is, if you recall, why I loved him in Melee.

Unfortunately, there are a few issues:

1. Whatever direction he faces, he always flies that way, even when you hit him from behind. It's a bit strange, but at least he flinches...

2. The arc he flies in is too wide, IMO. Sometimes, I found myself dying from high knockback attacks at 60-70%. And, is there a way to not make him move horizontally while he's under the influence of your "tumble"? Finally, he's unable to do anything for a long duration after he's hit. That's also why I sometimes die at low %s. As a personal request, I'd love it if he could tech after being hit.

3. The game crashes with "The Noise" when I exit Training mode while he's flying... I wonder why it's doung that... It's not a big issue, but it's a tad annoying, considering all the steps required to restart the hacks...

I hope this doesn't offend you, but I felt I should be honest. If anything can be done, let me know, plz.

Eldiran, may I provide you with a Killable Giga Bowser review?

It's not difficult, only the wall thing. :3 That's likely actually going to go in a little later if we can even find a feasible way to make it happen. Everything else is perfectly possible using a bit of animation swaps. And the things that aren't are always up for change.

Hah, guess you're right. hey, I got Indigo doing a hack for me, but I don't think he has much time on his hands and is a little bit frustrated. I think I also might be pressuring him a bit by accident :\. Maybe if you have much free time for PSAing you could give him a helping hand. Just inquire him if you're interested. It's pretty cool; if we can, we might make him be able to run up walls if he runs into them, or maybe even across ceilings. Of course, he would fall off if he turns or stops. Just ask him if you're interested. :3

Dude, thanks for helping me out with my first ventures into Brawl hacking. Only recently did I realize that I was talking all that time with one of the most esteemed PSA artists out there!

Thanks for the ROB stuff, it works perfectly with my HAD fighter.pac injection

Thanks a bunch. Keep up the amazing work. =D

Hey, I was just curious, could you give me the download/code for having Mario shoot tanks like in your avatar? =D

So, I DON'T need HBC or Twilight Hack?

I'll try this when I get home! Thanks so much!

No, I don't know about these other ways to use hacks. Care to enlighten me when you return online?

I'd really love to see a video of this. There's this guy who has a hack video thread.

Currently I am unable to control him because I had my Wii repaired, and I had formatted it in case that was what broke it. Turns out it wasn't the cause. Result: my hacks are gone and I am without a copy of TP. Sucks, huh?

Yes it's possible. You can, indeed, tech on the ceiling.

Or did you mean that he alone can't do it?

Oh, he lands as normal? That's cool.

Even during wall-teching and ceiling teching?

Eldiran, when Giga techs, does he still T-stance? If he does, perhaps a good old fashioned sidestep could replace his tech animation, and a roll dodge for a directional tech.

What about when he hits the ground after flying?

All in due time, I suppose... It's ok, it's already more than what I expected.

I'm happy with what you did!

Is there still a way to make him... "spikeable"? I know you said it's unfixable, but can't Bowser's and Giga Bowser's animations/actions be switched through PSA/BrawlBox?

I thought I'd drop by and thank you again for delivering the flinching Giga Bowser.

Yeah, that's permuch it.

Hello Eldiran, just wanted to drop by and congratulate you on your excellent work making PSA characters. I find them all very unique and interesting to play as. Fine work, my boy.

I think this might be of interest to you, but it needs testing:

Eldiran just out of curiousity, where did you acquire your coding experience?

Yo. UM. Grab is broke'd. Get on AIM plz.

Ah alright, thanks.

Say I want to move ike's sword in idle animation to on his back or rather behind his waist sideways, would there be a way to do that? You placed zero's sword on his hand which is why im asking.

Your Zero is awesome. Have a character idea if you would be interested in making it. Megaman X and Sigma were on my list as well as Zero, but Zero is complete and for that I give you made props. But I was just curious if you could make Marina Liteyears from Mischief Makers?

Also, I live in PA as well, lets hang out and play Brawl+ sometime?

Hehe thanks for your answer and nice that you will see about Megaman and Bomberman, I wish I would be as good as you than I would try it on my own, but I do what I can to help the development of such good characters like Zero ^^
Because from the first time I heard about hacking brawl I had the dream of creating a complete new one with all new characters (That what is now the Super Smash Mugen Brawl Project )

I call you from now on the Master of Characters

Truly Zero is the best Character hack ever and I already tried a lot. He is so funny but still seems to be balanced ! He is so unique that people who dont know the roster would never think of that this was Link and they would think that Zero was put in Brawl by Nintendo !

Really I enjoy your work a lot and hope that you will still amaze us with your characters in future! (Hoping for Megaman or Bomberman )
