Title: So what textures does everyone like using? Need some input.
Post by: Choppasmith on June 30, 2009, 11:38:05 PM
Hey there!

I happen to be going on a trip to see my mom and little brother next Wednesday. My little brother only has a Gamecube, and thus I'm bringing my Wii. Naturally, he plays a lot of Melee, and we had a lot of fun last year playing Brawl. I just told him about Texture Hacks and he can't wait to see it.

I'd really like to fill my SD card with a wide array of the best Textures for characters. I've already got plenty for Link, Toon Link, Lucario, and Peach, characters I like playing as (or textures that really caught my eye) but there are still so many open spots, and so many to choose from for characters I personally don't play all that often (G+W, the Star Fox Trio, Donkey Kong).

So I thought I'd ask for your guys' input. You guys have probably loaded and used more textures while I've just started to scratch the surface. Some textures look to me as if they're better in screenshots than in motion. Or for those with multiple takes (like say, Fierce Diety Link), you guys might provide some insight. I thought maybe while I was at it, I could make an archived pack of popular Textures, with common.pcs all ready to go. A zip file for friends and people who might, say, have little computer access and/or maybe little to no access to things like Photoshop/GIMP, and who just need to extract this to the root of their SD card and they're all set (assuming their Wii is Homebrew ready of course).

If you guys could help, I'd greatly appreciate it ^_^

Here's the list of character "slots" if you will listed by color. None being nothing has been chosen yet Note, I'll be using this list (http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Palette_swap_%28SSBB%29) as reference not the actual file listing for putting in in PACs and PCSs. I plan on keeping defaults the same and I also like to keep the team colors (red, green, and blue) as coordinated as possible, for when Team Play is involved, I don't want to have a Silver Samus when she's playing on the "Green Team". Only exception to this is Ash as Pokemon trainer (by Segab) it just works so much better that way. The choices I made are by no means final, I'm very open to suggestions  :)

Title: Re: So what textures does everyone like using? Need some input.
Post by: catgowoof on July 01, 2009, 01:34:14 AM
Characters of other games are usually the most popular I think.
For Bowser I'd say Mario Bowser and Dry Bowser are the coolest.
For Captain Falcon I think Kratos, Master Chief and Protoman are the best.
Ganondorf - Pinkandorf, The King, Black Shadow and Gears of war Ganon.
Snake - Mood Snake, Joker, Pink (Hello Kitty) Snake
Lucario - Ditto (trips people out)
Wario (Warioware) - Tuxedo, Samurai Gordo
Pikachu - Pichu, Falconchu
Jigglypuff - Falconpuff, Weegeepuff
And for your Midna Zelda/Sheik, I recomend Fireking220's Zelda, and Register/S's Sheik.

I'll probably edit this post again later tonight. :p

I had made a roster topic on the old forum.

http://kittycorp.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ontopicdiscussion&action=display&thread=512

Hope that helps ya out! Also... I keep track of my own texture download stats...

http://www.kittycorp.xtreemhost.com/?p=662 (Not including stuff since I've moved to media-fire, madworld ganon currently leads there at ~200 new downloads while Jetterz Daibon trails at 10)

Post by: Neon on July 01, 2009, 03:26:39 AM
Mine. :P
Anyways, textures i enjoy using are Picano's Harvery Birdman (loved that show), Wall-e Rob by Syntax Erorr, Shadow Queen by Register or his brother or sister :P, and ]EE['s Skeletal Bowser. Those are just a few, i've replaced at least one costume for everyone in brawl, only three of which are mine (excluding stages) :P

You'll definitely want Galacta Knight for MK. I'm partial to my Riku for Marth, as well as Dhragen's Kefka. Get the latest version of Shadow Mario from Stack Smash; it's the best I know of.

The gallery is an excellent resource for finding textures, and the new rosters on Stack Smash and Elite Smash Hackers make finding textures for specific characters really easy. You can also go to BrawlHost (the link is on Stack Smash's page) and browse through the multitude of teams there...

All in all, we can't tell you what to like. Though I can see this being an instance where my texture review site would have been handy.

I have dally's regret, all my Cursed Textures, and some of Registers. Register and his/her siblings r great texture artists

I don't play Brawl.
So none.

FireKing has a lot of very cool stuff (Twilight, Cursed, Midna of Awesomeness).  Championing my own team, I'd recommend Peach's Castle and my Dark Castle and/or Tetris Stage Parts.  BigShark's Winters texture is very good and definitely check out Das Donkey's stuff.

das donkey team is god. I'm jealous of their talent

Here's a list I made thanks to the pre-made Color list, edited to put the characters in name order. Brackets denotes original Brawl costumes.
Some notes:
  • Snakes WTF camo I think is his Snow one

    All Mario Strikers Costumes replace Blue cept for Daisy Striker

    Tried to have similer costumes for Samus/ZZS and Zelda/Sheik

    All Melee costumes replace default cept for Falcon who I replaced his Light Blue one

    Few costumes came from that tourney pack e.g Proper colors for Falco, Pokemon Trainer and Sonic.

    Can't seem to get Giga Bower's costumes working, his folder is gkoopa right?

Sorry for the late reply, but if you see my first post, my roster's shaping up quite nicely. Thanks for the links Picano. I've definitely added those top 10. And thanks to everyone who's added their suggestions ^_^

For lack of a kick-arse Diddy texture, I'm going to have to recommend my own Coconuts Diddy (http://brawlhacks.wikia.com/wiki/Diddy_Kong_-_Character_Textures). I'd like to thank Gazoinks for gesturing my Peach's Castle stage. I'm proud of it.

I'd also recommend Playboy Luigi, but I would be stoned. (Please don't use it, there are a plethora of awesome Luigi's out there).
