As a seven year old, I played Smash on the old N64 as if it was the only game that existed. And I always chose Pikachu, and most of my time was spent in Saffron City, mainly just off of liking Pokemon back when it would come on with Yu-Gi-Oh at 9 at night and then on weekday mornings. I have since moved on from Pikachu, and I don't like Pokemon anymore - been a long time since I have, to be honest - but I made this in part as a bit of a tribute to those old days way back, years ago.

I don't use Pikachu anymore, but he is not forgotten. May this breathe new life into him, and may this bring with it good wishes for the future ahead.

Not enough Wario magic going on in the vault. This should remedy that.

I had to do this, mostly because Wario Land 3 & 4 are two favorites of mine back in the Game Boy days, and I wanted Wario to be a blend between his Wario Ware and Wario Land self. rather than just exclusively one or the other.

Download includes just moveset files. Presumably, this should work with any set of Wario models/textures that are NOT larger in file size than the original Brawl versions.

As standardized across all my works, diagonal attacks and no hitlag. In addition to several other new things, the...Down-B...is now much more focused on damage rather than knockback.

Introducing true pain and suffering...Demise reincarnate...the Lord of death and destruction. He is near invincible, and he is on a mission to bring about the end of everything...and he will never go away. The curse is eternal. Ultimate Ganondorf now rises...


And no, this is not Smash Ultimate Ganondorf. This is the Ultimate form of all Ganons and Ganondorfs across all timelines...


Know pain.

*Ultimately deconfirmed :P

So hey, if you can't get him on Switch, why not get him here?

***

It came to my attention recently that there is a surprisingly low number of Shadow mods on this site. I mean, seriously - what's wrong with you people? Don't you realize what's wrong here? How can you not have hundreds of Shadow mods? He's only the second most popular character in the entire canon!

...

...

This edition of Shadow the Hedgehog has taken on a moveset similar to my Sonic, running as a semi-clone much like Fox and Falco work. Shadow has all the agility and maneuverability that Sonic has, which makes them the two fastest characters in the game - or at least, that I've got, uploaded or not. He also can deal out a noticeably more significant amount of damage than Sonic fairly quickly, but many of his attacks often have a great deal of startup. Oh, and he's also pretty loose-controlling and slippery. I am not sorry for that. That was intentional. Shadow can be Black Luigi to show how slippery he was in Heroes and his own game. Surprisingly, he's not that much more slippery on ice.

This is an old-school .rel port, that essentially shares sounds and gfx with Sonic. Yeah, it's an old way of doing things, but I come from a time where we didn't have whatever BrawlEx is or all these newfangled contraptions y'all's got! Back in my day, we ain't have no sound mods! We ain't have no character imports! We'd ain't got no extra character slots! We had to either replace characters, or we had to make those alloys playable and replace them! Y'all got it good now!

Okay but in all seriousness, this means that if you play Sonic and Shadow in the same match, one of them will use the other's GFX, so you'll either have a gold-red Sonic spin or cool-blue Shadow spin, all dependent on who's selected first - not necessarily who's P1 or P2 or whatever, but who gets any player icon put on them first (but adding CPUs could change that because CPUs start off on the random slot, and the random selection gets chosen before you even get past the CSS). This .rel port was the only way I personally had of getting Shadow on someone while also both retaining gfx and still being able to perform a proper Homing Attack and Spin Dash.

Some of the stuff like the running animation, I did do myself. But for a lot of the moveset, I just combined some animations that other people have already done for Shadow over the years because of how many times this one damn character has been modded. But because of how questionable a lot of those animations were, I cleaned up a fair amount of them. Much less of those arms passing through torsos and legs and that stuff, and much less stiffness. That alone took up a whole week.

All his specials are the same function-wise as my Sonic. I really did want to change just his Up special and his Final Smash though to that teleporting Chaos Burst from Sonic Battle and his Chaos Blast respectively - actually, I animated the Chaos Burst to be a hybrid move that was an aerial teleport that would go into the attacking burst *if* you directed Shadow to or along the ground - but those animations would've ate up too much filesize that I didn't have for this. BUT, the animations are included as a donation to the community. Shadow will still turn super, but it's stiff and there's missing gfx, which is mainly why I wanted to change it in the first place. The super model that doesn't have those issues works perfectly and as it should, but the model gets super stretched-out in game for some reason. So, the FS isn't perfect, but it definitely works.

Despite that, many of his attacks that you've grown familiar with are present here; Chaos Upper, Chaos Spear, the Sonic Battle neutral A, mixed in with some stuff I added and meant to mirror my Sonic. And a Sonic-Shadow match can get pretty crazy real quick.

A few other issues I should bring up - one, I couldn't figure out how to get that Win Chaos Emerald to show up on the Up taunt. I could've probably just went and imported one as an extra GFX and used it there, but I didn't know how much filesize I had left; and if Sonic's GFX get loaded, Shadow won't have a Chaos Emerald anyways, so I wasn't pressed on that. Which also brings up the fact that Shadow may be missing a few gfx on a few of his moves if Sonic gets loaded first. So it's probably better if you have Shadow loaded up first if Sonic is involved. And then the Chaos Emerald on the Win2 seems to be scripted and automatic in some kind of way beyond Brawlbox or PSA from what I could tell, so it just kind of floats above Shadow's hand.

Oh, and Olimar's AI will make any CPU Shadow spam the Homing Attack thinking he'll sprout Pikmin - but because the Homing Attack brings him close to opponents, he'll have no choice but to fight, or at least fight more often than other ports over Olimar that spam the N-B and then dodge and roll away.

Something I found out happens with BOTH my Sonic and Shadow for some reason - and I don't know if this is the case with vBrawl - but if they use their spring and get to a platform and transition directly into a walking or running animation without stopping and by skipping the landing animation, the game thinks that their Up-B still is ongoing, which means you could just walk off the edge and not be able to jump or use any special again. This is very rare and requires perfect timing to accomplish, however. Fairly difficult to willfully replicate, but I will see if I can get rid of that for both of them.

I thought about making his back throw that kick he does to Silver in Sonic '06, but I ain't trying to meme it up here. It essentially would've just been one of his standard kicks used as a throw, and that seemed lacking in variety. There's already plenty of kicks he can do.

This uses his Sonic Generations model, featuring different colored shoes and cuffs.

And finally, Magna-Fi's All Hail Shadow is better than Crush 40's. And they did it first.

"The fight is on!!

What?!? Who's Goku?!?

What's anime?!?"

...

Pit's here to fight for his spot on the roster back!

Nothing major here. Did what I usually do. No hitlag, extra diagonal attacks, a few dashes of personal touch here and there, nothing flashy. A set of uniforms that feature those emblems used in that Smash 3 Pit for variety, and...hair dye. Because why not? It brightens him up a bit.

There's not really any color scheme I chose. I stuck with white, orange, and shades of blue, but then I brought in the green for an alt, and then also the all-black.

...

Yes, that's Pit I put in the black. Not Dark Pit. That's Pit just wearing black. This is not Dark Pit. Don't get it confused.

This isn't Link with wings either.

So get your copy of LS's Not Dark Pit today!

...

I'm totally not being coy or working on anything major right now.

Oh, I just saw that the GFX don't quite match up exactly on two of the diagonal attacks where he uses his weapons as a conjoined tool, but I'm not prepared at the moment to run testing to try and figure out the proper IDs for something that's only noticeable if you pause and zoom in at the right time.

EDIT 12-29-18: I have decided to post an alternate PSA file with some minor GFX edits, optional and available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oWT0RRxAjEsm1m5x191D0Cfp4bYxL35e

"I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

Only I have the power to protect the Triforce so that the Hero Chosen by the Gods may utilize its divine powers and eradicate the evils plaguing our lands. But that wizard, that fiend, Ganondorf...he has now far exceeded my own power. He seeks to gain a following through this Smash tournament, and then use his newly formed cultist army to steal the Triforce for his own. However, I will stand in his way.

It seems that Smash is littered with evil presences left and right. My standard fighting and magic abilities will not cut it. Even my light power is somehow coming up short. I need something extra. For this, I will call upon an ancient, lost art that combines one's life force with dark power in synergy. The wise know that light and shadow are meant to be two cooperating halves, and I am certain that the innate purity of true darkness will not falter against Ganondorf's wicked corruption of the element. It's time to summon the Echo Blade!

With as much power as the Echo Blade generates, I can deal out considerable amounts of damage with ease. However, it takes more than brute force to win a fight. I'm not necessarily the fastest being here, but I can switch to my alter ego, Sheik, whenever I need to focus less on power and more on speed. I can overpower and confuse the enemy in my normal state; or, I can go up-tempo as Sheik. Either way, I have to be mindful of my low endurance and stay smart!

It is my sworn duty to keep the Triforce out of evil's hands, and I have the aid of the Hero Chosen by the Gods in this responsibility. His courage will be invaluable in the battles to come. For the sake of everyone and everything in the universe, we must arise victorious!"

(Note: Moveset NOT GUARANTEED to work if other models are used - particularly ones with larger filesize.

Farore's Wind teleporting has been nerfed overall. It is now standardized to interruptible and therefore infinite, but it is significantly harder to control, and its damage potential is considerably reduced.)

\"I am Samus. Samus Aran, the most powerful bounty hunter in the universe.

That prize for placing atop the rankings in Smash has to be substantial for there to be so many competitors. It better be worth the time and effort I'm putting into this. Hopefully, I can take out some of those crooks that have slipped into Smash too before they start trying to wreak havoc.

After some specialized training on my own, I have returned to the battlefield with a faster and more agile body. Though I've also come prepared with some upgraded gear, I don't believe my Power Suits will be needed all too much considering the improvements I've made. Some of these people don't even seem fit for fighting. Of all things, there's a walking drawing and an astronaut with anthropomorphic flowers at his side. Nevertheless, I've been through too much to go around underestimating a potential adversary.

I will demonstrate the true power of the Chozo. Smash is mine to win, and mine to lose.\"

(NOTES: I included my minimally-edited Power Suit Samus PSA and skins just for consistency with Zero Suit Samus's parts textures upon entry and FS transformation. They're nothing special. 95% of this is all about ZS Samus.

Just one glitch: There's a very slight chance that you may load up a stage that interferes with her texturing and makes it so that either her body flickers, or only her head is visible. I'm not sure if it's because of the model's rim lighting or whatever else, but it can be a little annoying regardless. I'm not sure how to fix that, but considering how harmless it is and because I really don't like vBrawl's model of her, and since this is such an improvement over vBrawl, especially for a custom build (A+ material to the original creators!!), I'm sticking with this one. Just don't be too surprised if her body starts twitching or turns pitch black and you have a head on top of a moving stick of blackness.

Default Varia Suit over Samus is vBrawl's.

This is NOT guaranteed to work independently; as in, the models or the moveset files may not work if paired with other counterparts because Samus's filing (both forms) in Brawl as it is is finicky and more restrictive than that of other characters.)

\"I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog!

The competition here in Smash is really getting intense! But you know what - that's fine with me! That just means that I don't have to hold back anymore! What a relief! I was getting bored! Looks like I'm not here for nothing! Now they're stepping it up...but so am I!

If they didn't think I was the fastest around before, they'll think that now for sure! I'm kicking the quickness up into a whole nother gear, and my extra A attacks'll give me even more combat options! I'll sprint across the stage, then go with a down smash straight into a homing attack! Or maybe, I can chain my diagonals! And when I pull out my side-B Boost, I'll blow straight through everyone! If they can't keep up, then too bad! Outta my way!!

TIme to rise to the top of Smash with some sonic speed!\"

There was that Pipe Plaza mod somewhere in this vault. Wherever it is, I got it and changed it up, giving it a texture overhaul, size change, and overall gameplay edit. This is a large stage, yet it doesn't ever feel like it is too often. This has the capability to be both an offensive and a defensive stage depending on who plays.

This stage is played straight across from one end of Pipe Plaza to the next. You can get up on the metal frame or down underneath of it at any time. Also, you can hang around the sides of the stage too. I wanted it to almost feel as if you had the freedom to explore the whole stage, just like in Mario Kart.

Two things to keep in mind - one, though the camera stretches out to the very boundaries of the arena, I made the KO zone almost immediately around the outside of the boundary. So going offscreen is not a good idea on this stage, because a mild hit could end that stock for you. [See where Daisy is in the third preview pic to get an idea of where you're in danger.] I have no other reason for doing this other than I wanted the whole stage available, but I also didn't want people going outside into the grass; partially because the course model is uncovered on the outer west side for some reason. But you wouldn't know that otherwise unless you deliberately moved the camera there or looked in Brawlbox. I don't know why the model's like that. Not at all noticeable in gameplay though.

The other thing is that the ramps could sometimes obscure the view, but you could use that to your advantage. But a lot of the time, there'll be too much going on to even be around there for long, and the camera tends to zoom in past the ramp anyways.

I wanted to give the stage a slant and make it a little irregular so you'd be fighting on the track at an angle, and that might also therefore mean that the playing space could end up being smaller in order to not conflict with the stage model itself. Maybe if I come back to this, that'll be something to do.

Final Destination based stage with a .rel to go over Skyworld. Can go anywhere else with an FD .rel, I'm sure.

Dedede got BUFF...ed...in Smash.

Because Dedede is a pain to edit, I didn't change too much for this one. This is actually an old one I had from years ago but tweaked a little. The dynamic and play style is different, and - both technique-wise and movement-wise - he can be either tough to control or an absolute menace. And he gets a bit of an aesthetic update too.

I normally suck with the big, slow guys, but I found myself winning out over better characters I normally have trouble against. I swear, he might be too strong. But that's fine. He's King Dedede. 3D. Triple D. D3. If you can't handle all the D, stay away.

DEDEDE - THAT'S THE NAME YOU SHOULD KNOW.

DEDEDE - HE'S THE KING OF THE SHOW!

You'll holler and hoot; he'll give Kirby the BOOT!

DEDEDE is the one!

COMIN' AT YA!!

That is Falco! It took me forever to get him and Fox up, but they're up now.

Faster, swifter, those four extra diagonal inputs - and you know what? This makes Brawl Falco feel pretty good! A little bit of Melee touch, and now his decloning doesn't seem like a bad thing at all!

Focus on precision and landing hits with this PSA rather than using brute force and trying to always smash or get the KO.

The uniform kit here is based around dark blues, red, and gold with some purple. But personally, I prefer that white-on-white combo in the previews.

Fox gets fast and serious! Four diagonal attacks and an uptick in pace of play! Light, but fast and agile to score several hits in succession!

Includes special uniform kit based around green, steeltown gold, and red.

Old-school PSA - Fit[Fighter].pac only! That's all that is required for this one. Simple, but effective. It seems like the simpler ones I do tend to be the strongest for some reason. You can really body people so easily with this - in a non-overpowered sense. I mean seriously, it's like, diagonal-down tilt, neutral A, side tilt, diagonal up-tilt, Nair, and they may as well have just have not even touched their controller.

There's not much else I can say here. XD Four-diagonal attacks, some changes here and there, and I really meant to upload this a lot sooner than I did.

No special uniforms this time, unfortunately.

Does anyone else think Captain Falcon's color scheme seems eerily similar to Superman's? Is that coincidence?...

In any case, I needed to go back and revamp Falcon some. This is an overall faster, stronger, more competent Falcon that I would say is now back to competitive status. He now has 4 total extra diagonal attacks, as per standard with my mods. He also now has a uniform set instead of taking other F-Zero racers' colors and emblems - speaking of EMBLEMS (look at picture).

Falcon takes a few cues from that old Onslaught Captain Falcon mod, but not nearly on the same overpowered level. It's mostly just in terms of movement and agility.

LS-Style Samus, meaning by default, 4 diagonal attacks, a slight buff to above B-Tier level (if needed) and no hitlag. Unfortunately, I couldn't do much this time because both Samus's have next to no space in their files to work with. So nothing groundbreaking here. Also, a couple of her whip attacks still have hitlag for some reason - Nair and Up-B, I think because they're articles? I don't know. I couldn't find their collision data.

She's a bit stronger, but overall not very strong at all. She's actually fairly weak, but she's so quick and nimble that you can go a couple minutes without getting hit if you react and move around fast enough. And she's surprisingly adapt at racking up damage, even if KO'ing is an issue.

This PSA literally made me pick her up and use her as a new main. Did not care for her vBrawl iteration, but this is really fun. With the included, slightly size-optimized textures on the SJS-Albafika-Nanobuds model, it should work well in conjunction with whatever Varia Suit Samus PSA you're using unless it's too large.

The first portion of the Western side of Mystic Temple is now available, further expanding the stage! Now you have the extra options of either an icy duel far away from the main field, or a precarious and risky fight in the air with nothing but small platforms to serve as a safety net!

It is the return of one of the first SSBB hacks - Echo Blade Zelda! But now, she has been reduxed and expanded upon from her previous incarnations through the dark magic of the Echo Blade! Optimized and interchangeable through both her base and Sheik forms so you can switch styles mid-battle!

The Echo Blade Fusion represents the synergy between Zelda and Sheik, as this PSA melds them so that they're closer together and resemble each other in battle more. When you switch to another character, they will feel so different, and yet so familiar at the same time. For example, some of the Sheik in Zelda is represented in her base form. Sheik's body is also now feminine and a bit closer to Zelda's form.

Sheik remains combat-focused and becomes even faster-paced with the addition of the Echo Blade, and her attack power gets a boost to resemble her melee incarnation a bit more. She now has a bit more magic to her arsenal of attacks, however. On the other hand, Zelda is still largely magic-focused, but has added a bit more strict combat moves. Zelda gains a boost in agility without sacrificing her high power even though her attack speed has actually taken a shot for the worse, but her moveset is now not just one of those strong but slow type characters.

Zelda gains a big change in dynamic by way of her confusion-style gameplay, mostly through her odd and unpredictable movements paired with Nayru's Love and a now interruptable \"Farore's Mirage\", an upgraded Farore's Wind that can be acted out of and used multiple times in a sort of Tabuu-esque manner.

But the main source of frustration comes from her dodges and side/diagonal tilts, and the CPU AI takes full advantage of these two...

Sheik is more user-friendly, since I couldn't do too much to her in order to keep the duality and ability to switch between her and Zelda. Zelda is difficult to use, but the payoff is enormous.

Though Zelda's and Sheik's teleports are interruptable and now can be used more than once, I included versions where they can only use them once in the air as normal in case some thought that would get broken and cheap. You'd still have to be careful, because Din's Fire will still send you into helpless, and if you don't do anything quick out of the teleport, you'll go into helpless too anyways. I don't know about anyone else though, but the ability to chain multiple teleports hasn't cut down on the number of falls I've had off the bottom. Maybe it's the knowledge of being able to teleport back up that has just made me more reckless...

APRIL 2018 EDIT: I made an alteration to Link's multi-thrust to make it a little less responsive like other neutral infinites. Now, you may be asking why in the world I would do something like that. Well, the way I had it made it so that Link could cheese one hit of his Attack100 and then go into the finisher hit, so it was in a weird in between of a standard neutral combo and a neutral infinite, and it just didn't seem right. So now, Link will go through a full cycle of fast stabs before executing his finisher. This also means that ending the move won't always happen as quick.

And yes, I'm going to upload altered versions of Daisy and Andrew too where their Attack100 moves act the same way as well.

EDIT 6-24-2017: Small update with 4 notable changes:
1) Reverted one of Link's wait animations back to the original one in its place, for it was a ported animation that looked twitchy when the game slowed down.
2) Tweaked the timing for Link's Multithrust. It actually may have indirectly nerfed it ever so slightly, but I had accidentally put the timers to someone else's Attack100 in instead of Link's. Now all the thrusts are timed right.
3) Arrows now deal 18% at full charge - but only deal 1% with no charge.
4) Boomerang now has considerably more range and stays out far longer - but that makes it so that Link has to wait a while before he can use it again if you let it go rogue and don't catch it.

This title is misleading - this ought to be called like, "Multigenerational Link" or something.

Let me explain the unexplainable - there was this old Aura Knight Link hack back in the renaissance period that was brawl modding in the ancient world of...6 years ago. It's record has been lost in time and is nowhere to be found - but I decided to revive it with my rendition of it, and in doing so, I wanted to combine some of the incarnations of Link. Essentially, this is what resulted - a combination of Link, Melee Link, Skyward Sword Link, Smash 4 Link, Twilight Princess Link, Aura Knight Link, and some custom personal touch added in for seasoning.

I pretty much wanted to change a lot without changing the feel of Link too much. In summary, this is a freer smoother, slicker, "awakened" Link. Description doesn't do it justice enough.

This mini-pack includes the PSA and the Hyrule Warriors Link texture-vertex. It's not the actual HW model - rather, it's the Brawl-styled HW model that I melded together with Twilight Princess and Brawl styled textures.

Disclaimer: Not tested for Project M.

The next portion of the Mystic Temple has been unlocked! Now, in addition to the main stage and the Northeastern Gate, the Southern Gate is available! Keep the battle close at the main area, or go for a showdown up top or down below - or if you're really daring, play a game of chance with the platforms with the penalty for failure being a long, long fall...

As a Final Destination based stage, you can use any FD .rel to port it elsewhere. I personally have this one as a button alternate for Pirate Ship.

This is the first of several versions of Mystic Temple. As of now, there is a main area where you spawn in, and there are glass platforms to go up to a second battle zone on the far upper right.

This stage is far from finished from what I actually intend for it to be, but I decided that, like a video game, more of the stage will open up and become available over time. And, this plays really well in its current state. The CPU AI will actually follow you anywhere across the stage too. So right now, the main stage and the \"Northeast Gate\" are open, but the other ones will come later in what will be a massive stage in the future. That's why the camera's got a lot of breathing room underneath the main stage.

Included is the normal dark version and the bright version. In the future, I'm gonna combine the lighting from the dark and the bright version together.

Now you can join Joe Flacco, Jimmy Smith, Eric Weddle, CJ Mosley, and all the rest of the gang to take on the AFC North! In Ozzie we trust. Ravenation.

I had done this one way back a long long time ago. I had also done one for the Jets, Steelers, and I think two other teams, but they were on different characters and I don't know what I did with them. The good thing about Falcon is that his textures aren't [entirely] mirrored, so I could do something like this.

So go on ahead and set up your Will Linebacker blitz to hurry the QB off the left O-line and force him to make a pressured throw into zone double coverage!

Just edited to change the name to something less generic.

Who's low tier now?!?

Here's a personal PSA for Kirby I made a ways back in 2012. It's not a complete overhaul like my Daisy mod, but sometimes you don't need to have drastic changes to be a lot of fun! This is a simpler hack with a few extras that make him similar to his normal self but play much differently; generally at a faster, freer, more fluid pace. Nothing too revolutionary - just really enjoyable to play as. He was, continues to be, and always will be the super tuff pink puff!

LS-style has two main characteristics; 4 extra a-button attacks in the form of the diagonal inputs, and no hitlag throughout almost all of their moves. Certain characters may have special traits unique to themselves or to the type of fighter they are (I.e. characters with more power may not need as long to fully charge their smashes, agile characters may be able to perform special evasion techniques, among some others as well).
