Thought to be too hard to make by many a long time ago, custom animations finally saw the light of day around August of 2018. Since then, many improvements have been made to make importing animations more easily accessible to everyone. If you seek to learn how to do this, it's necessary that you follow the link above.
This thread contains some animations made by me and other people. Hitboxes and the like are always included to not give the user a hard time.
If a file is too big, you need to rebuild your ISO. To do this, you need to download GameCube Rebuilder if you haven't already in here: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/619/. Once you open it, you go to Image at the top and then you open your ISO. Then, you go to the ISO's structure on the right, right click the first file called "root" and export it to wherever you want.
Once the exporting process is over, go to the folder it just created and paste the files from the download in there, but make sure to remove the extra text from the filenames so they have the same names as the PlXX and PlXXAJ files in order to replace them. Back in the program, close the ISO from the Image menu, go to Root instead and open up the root folder we just edited. Go to Root > Save and save the ISO to any folder with whatever name you want, then click save, Root > Rebuild and wait for the process to end.
That's it, you're ready to go.

I will update this thread in the future. For now, only a few characters have videos showcasing their new animations. I'll have to ask some people to record for me, so not everything here will have high quality videos.
Code:
$Expanded animation container [tauKhan]
* 0x8000 max animation size. Default max animation size is 0x8000. Using this hack allows you to import larger animation into the game.
* 0xY0000 max animation size. Replace Y with 1 - F so that the container size becomes larger than the largest animation you've included into your ISO.
* Skip animation length <= 0x8000 assert.
04067aa0 60000000
04067a98 3c80000Y
04085ab0 48000020I recommend setting the "Y" to a 7 for some animations. The value needs to be bigger than the filesize of an animation, so if an animation is around 70000 bytes long for some reason, values like 80000 or 90000 with the code works, but things might crash with high values like these.

5400FFFF 00000000Basically, you use this code if an animation goes beyond the limit for distance. When that happens, you'll see the character in Forge and in-game teleport to their original position. This happens because of Forge's unstable .smd format support for Melee, so a code is needed until this is fixed. The .anim format in Forge doesn't seem to work with custom animations, it only works if you re-import an unedited animation from the game.
