Hello kitties!
Ever since I really got into Brawl, I've been seeing possible movesets for characters in all sorts of other media. This made me really want to get into creating my own characters, stages, music, trophies and events. My question here is:
Where do I get started with Brawl hacking/modding?

I personally own an unmodded PAL Wii and a PAL copy of SSBB, and I plan on keeping my Wii unmodded, and instead using Dolphin (with a PAL iso so that if I ever decide to mod my Wii I can be sure that the things I create will work). I also have Autodesk's 3DS Max 2012, but sadly I lack experience in it.
Can anyone direct me to some tutorials and/or tools that can help me get start off with Brawl hacking/modding?

Thanks in advance!
