I have been wanting to make a Blastoise mod for a long time now and I started working on it a couple of weeks ago. I already chose what model to use but I still need to rig it (I don't have 3DS Max yet) and probably add more detail to it, if possible. I have came up with some moves for the PSA, but just like rigging, haven't gotten to make them yet.

I was thinking of doing this over Squirtle, as he only has one article and is in the pokémon section, but I need to know the file size for the characters. Does anyone have a list of the file sizes for each character, or can make recommendations for one? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Be warned this is incomplete, it's old and not about project M. You should know the motion and the model file share the same space.
This is not a general rule, but is your model pcs + motion file exceeds 4mb of size, you're getting into dangerous limits. I'm not sure every character has the same free space, I think they don't. I even think you can go up to 4.2mb before crashes, but don't trust your life in this information.

The limit of the fitcharacter0X.pac and motionetc is 5.33mb give or take. I know of cases that go over this limit. The limit of the PSA file is 0.53 mb.

Keep in mind, this is only for brawl. The values may and peobably will differ in pm.

Is there anyway to check how large each file is?

Also, thanks to both of you for the help so far.

Richt click, properties should show the die of the file lol.

Or just set your folder to detail so file size would be shown in its own column for every file.
