1  Super Smash Bros. Brawl Hacking / General Hacking Discussion / Project Star Wars on: July 17, 2012, 07:16:40 PM
Hello brawl modding community! I have never posted anything on this site before, so as long as I am announcing my existence, I guess I should start with a one sentence introduction. I am MasterObiQui'Et and in case you can't tell, I'm a huge star wars fan. I have been modding brawl for several months now, but I could never bring myself to post anything because I'm a perfectionist and I could always see some flaw in each of my creations. Now, I have a few projects that I have deemed worthy of the internet. They have been in development for a LONG time.

First up is Darth Vader over Ike







Darth Vader is a model import from The Force Unleashed. I didn't mess with the moveset because I love Brawl gameplay and don't like losing characters. Ike's moveset fits him very well, but his chicken wing stance does not. So he has altered animations to get rid of that. He also has altered grab and throw animations so he does force choke, and throws that follow smoothly from that. He also has sound effects from the movies including awesome quotes, saber sounds, and his classic breathing. He has alternate skins Anakin Skywalker and Dark Helmet from Spaceballs. He will work as a one slot, but I recommend the full character so you don't have to see Darth Vader in the chicken wing stance saying "I fight for my friends!"

Next is Mace Windu over Marth




Same deal as Darth Vader. Model from The Force Unleashed, altered animations, movie quotes, etc. He'll also work as a one slot, but don't come crying to me if you don't use the animations and see Mace Windu dancing around like a ballerina.

And finally, Yoda over Metakight






This took an insane amount of work. The model is originally from Soul Calibur 4. On this one I went for the PSA because I have never met a person with both skill and self-respect that liked Metaknight. Of the three characters, he has the most awesome quotes (by which I mean both most awesome and most quotes, in case you were wondering).
General Info:
He is the smallest and lightest character in the game. His ground moves suck and his aerials are amazing, so the only way to effectively play him is to jump around, just like Yoda. He has three jumps, but they're short. So it doesn't improve his recovery much, but it improves his aerial mobility to help you juggle people. I spent a TON of time playtesting him with friends to make sure he is balanced and fun. He should work flawlessly other than a couple visual bugs with some items (super scope, cracker launcher, franklin badge, and I think that's it).

This spoiler has some info about his key moves
Side Smash - Force Push
Great knockback, but only does 1% damage, so unless you get a kill with it, it doesn't accomplish much

Grounded Side B - Up Swing
Sounds lame, but actually very important. It has small and constant knockback, so it puts them in perfect position to follow up with aerials. Pop them up, then proceed to juggle. His dash attack works like this too, but from a longer distance.

Aerial Side B - Lightsaber Throw
His only ranged move, good for following up an aerial assault or messing with people off the edge.

Down B - Mind Trick
If you haven't used it in a while, it stuns them like their shield broke, otherwise, it flips them like Mario's cape. Either way, it has very high priority and works well as a counter. Just don't try to spam it, or it stuns you for a second.

Neutral B - Same as Metaknght's Down B
This move had some weird properties, so I couldn't do much with it

Up B - Force Boost
Hold B to go forward, let go of the button to go straight up. Good recovery, but leaves you vulnerable and you can't grab ledges during the boost, so only use it as a last resort.

Down Air - Fastest Spike in the game
It's not very strong so it will only work at decently high damage, but the priority is insane. It also can function as a positioning move to get someone in position to juggle. I've found it's one of his most useful moves.

Final Smash - Force Repulse
See the last two pics. Overpowered? Probably. But it's a final smash, so it's worth it.

Here is a demonstration video of Yoda fighting Darth Vader:
SSBB Star Wars Character Imports

This video is slightly outdated. I re-did Yoda's throwing animations and they look much better now.

I went all out with all three of these. They have recolors, Announcer sound effects, and Yoda even has a crowd cheer.
Something else I think I should mention is the lightsaber. I have seen a lot of Jedi based hacks, but they don't have very good lightsabers. If you're wondering what I did here, that is just the Sword Primid's saber. It's just a cleverly shaded polygon, so it's really easy to stick it on whatever model you want, and the result is absolutely beautiful. If you are working on a hack and need a lightsaber, I highly recommend that route.

So that is what I have been working on as I have been in hiding. Let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy.
