** The FINAL and Completed version of my build is now up guys, and it's 9000 times better than this one lol. Come and check it out here: http://bit.ly/2kQ7o0V

This Mod is a Perfectly BALANCED option for those seeking something better than vanilla 3.6, but not as "Explosive" as Legacy. Enjoyable for both casual & competitive players alike. No new csp's or stage select pics for now, but I'll look into fixing that later on. In the meantime tho, you'll still have a BLAST, especially Online with friends. Down below are the Installation Instructions, Custom Content Guide & Video Footage so don't forget to check those out. Have Fun!

ONCE YOU GO "Z", YOUR POWER WILL BE SET FREE!! ;)

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/x7x0b6i7q4s32fj/JV's+PM+3.6+-+Nov.+16th.zip

- Wanna play sometime? Leave your FC, and you can even join me in the Skype group chat for PM 3.6 players.

**Got any questions or concerns about my build? Post them below and I'll try my best to help you out.


All Replaced Stages:



All Replaced Music:



All Added Costumes:

(I forgot to show the "Raichu" skin for Pikachu which replaces the Pirate Hat.)



New Results Screen Music:





-Installation Instructions:

**See the FULL version of the GUIDE within the Download for a few other IMPORTANT DETAILS.


- After downloading my build, please remember to --EXTRACT-- the files from the Zip pack before

copying & pasting them onto your SD so you won't get any -ERRORS- during gameplay. Also, make sure

that the little switch on the side of your SD is -SLID ALL THE WAY UP- before installing or the

files may not write themselves on correctly. Sometimes you might even have to -FORMAT- your SD

as well. If that is the case then set it to "FAT32" with "4096 bytes" and have the "Quick Format"

box selected. Remember these steps if you ever come across any problems.

Alright, I guess I'll give you some more pointers,

-Use spoilers to limit your extreeeeeeemly long post.
Like this done by using ["spoiler]and[/spoiler"] (without " )
- The formatting of build posts are extreemly important if you want people to be interested. And yours is basically a wall of text. There's a lot of builds out there and when players decide on which to go with, I can almost promise you they will not want to read through that.

I havn't downloaded the build, but from the video footage, the thing you are building is not what you would call competetive, sorry mate.
- Model changes are a no go for competetive play.
- You have not replaced any CSP's which doesn't allow any player that does download your build to know what costumes they're picking. That is bad.
- Also, your title might scare some people who would enjoy you build away, since it brands itself on being competetive which i'm sorry to say, it's not really.

- Your stage picks seem kind of ok, but if you actually want people to download it, you should look at some of the other popular builds around. Both for post formatting and other stuff. For example none of them uses a logo screen from a specific franchise, and I would suggest you didn't either.

Sorry if this is comming off as harsh, but I'm trying to help you since you don't really seem to know what you are doing. If I were you I'd brand this as your personal build.

Ah, I see. I had no idea about these factors since I'm fairly new to this whole scene. Thanks for pointing this stuff out to me. Looks like I'll be doing some editing to my thread then.

Definatley better formatting, but still got a long way to go. I hope this helps:

Try looking at how
https://smashboards.com/threads/kap...ges-retro-mode-cbliss-more-22-01-2016.410739/
and
https://smashboards.com/threads/pro...ed-feat-300-skins-150-stages-and-more.440790/
formatted their posts.

IMO - (I might be wrong though) I'd delete the first text you introduce your build with. It's a lot of disclaimers and doesn't really say what your build is about.
You need you outline what features this brings to the table. What concrete stuff are people gonna find in this build they don't get from another build?
Short and consise is you friend.

Also your instruction section is really long? Look at how short and precise Vinci's is :)

You also have an extra line between each line in install instructions? Why? In general a lot of extra lines?

I'd probably cut down you title to;

Joe's Build Z: Custom Build PM3.6 [*Insert main feature here*]

Hmm, yes I can see your points. Those other guys definitely know what they're doing. Gonna try and revamp my tread a bit more. I'm glad someone here bothered to tell & show me these things lol.

For those wondering why I didn't include any csp's or stage select pics, it's mostly because not ALL of the custom outfits & stages I got came with any to begin with. If EVERY single one came with them, I might have gone and added them in, despite my Laziness. Like I said B4 tho, don't let that stop you from trying out my build anyway, because it's still a GREAT mod.

Your thread looks much better now.
The only thing I could think of is the first textblock you put down. It's a bit of heavy reading for people just wanting to know what this is. I'd probably cut it down to 1 or 2 lines and put description and a logo first.

I know you don't think a big deal of this, but players will not want to download a build without CSP's. There are builds that provide that and not knowing what costume you're getting will be a dealbreaker for almost anyone comming in here.
I know YOU know your own build, but I wouldn't expect anyone to go through learning your build, in case they might like it.
Make it as userfriendly as possible is my advice.
Hope you get some players!

Yea, I shortened the reading a bit and now it looks alot better. I know exactly what you mean about the csp's & stuff because my friends have told me the same thing lol. Gonna look into installing them later on, just gotta find replacements for the ones that didn't come with any to begin with. Anyways, Thanks for all your advice dude, it's REALLY been helpful.

If anyone here knows how to fix the Alternate Stage Loader so it works properly online, please tell me so I can restore all of the extra stages that I originally wanted to keep. I only removed them so my build could be playable online with others.

Just an F.Y.I. for everyone. When installing my build, it's a lot SAFER to just FORMAT your SD rather than swap out the "projectm" folders. I've found that swapping out the folders alone can leave you with Freezes caused my malfunctioning music files. Don't know why it's like that, but just thought I'd give you guys a Heads-up about it.

**Here's the correct FORMAT SETTINGS in case anyone didn't see them B4:

- FAT32, 4096 bytes, "Quick Format" box selected.

I was thinking of making a separate thread solely for Online play with my build, but idk. Depends on how many people are actually interested. If you enjoy my mod, share it with your friends. I'll need more players before I consider making another thread.

I found a way to Crash the game. If you put Mario, Toon Link, & one of Kirby's Fighter Headband alts in a 3 or 4 player battle, the game will freeze after picking a stage or right when the match starts up. Works properly with Regular Kirby tho. Such a weird little glitch, but just thought I'd share so guys would be aware of it. Don't forget to Report any more bugs if you find them please.

- An Updated / Reformed version of the "Lag Notice" that's apart the Full Guide document within my Build's download:

LAG NOTICE: A few stages can possibly LAG when using 3 or 4 players on them, like Miiverse for example. It isn't all that bad, but if you want smooth, lag-less Multiplayer battles on these particular stages, then you have to pick certain characters. For example, using Kirby, Toon Link or Jigglypuff will -NEVER- cause any lag whatsoever. Also, you'll have to be -EXTRA CAREFUL- when using King DDD's default extra costume & the newly added Custom alts of ZSS, Pikachu, Link & Ice Climbers, because those can cause additional lag on said stages depending on what combination characters is used with them. Other than all this stuff I've mentioned here, you shouldn't have anything else to worry about lag-wise. Enjoy :)

ATTENTION EVERYONE: Kirby's Fighter Headband alts. can CRASH in 3-4 player battles against certain characters when mixed with Mario. They have no issue with 1v1 Duel's whatsoever, but when using them in Multiplayer battles, AVOID having Mario mixed with Link, Toon Link, Shiek, Zelda, Squirtle, Samus, ZSS, Pit & Ice Climers. Anyone else is OK to mix with Mario. I will be REMOVING this alt. from Kirby in my Future release, but until then, I just want everybody to be Aware of it's issues.

Whoa, my build's viewer level is now OVER 1 THOUSAAAND!!. Didn't expect it to get this many lol. Not bad considering the fact that I just randomly decided to make this on a quick whim & with no prior modding experience. Anyways, thanks for giving it a chance guys. Gonna try and put together one FINAL version with CSP's & stuff soon. Might make a few other small changes as well. Stay tuned everyone & Thanks 4 Playing ;).
