What are the ef_character.pacs used for?

[superyoshi888]

Are they the files that contain specific effects like sword trails and fire? How about the characters unique properties outside of visual effects? And is there a way to tell just what is what?

I looked into them, I believe that they contain External GFX, as I looked into the Captain Falcon .pac file, and it had a tecture that said FB (I have no idea what this means) and two other textures, which looked like External GFX. Also, in an index, I found an index that mentioned Falcon Punch, maybe it does hold External GFX?

It's an odd setup, because the same effects are consistently found in the files they are connected to. By which I mean, for example, Captain Falcon has the Falcon Punch in either FitCaptain.pac or FitCaptainMotionEtc.pac. And he uses that version.

I honestly don't know what any of the ef files are used for.
