seeing other people showcasing your hacks in a video always motivates you to remake them

I guess that's it. After putting King Cold on the backburner for so long, I suddenly feel like digging him back out because of this video. And so I shall. It's him and K. Rool now.

So yeah, Funny how one video can shuffle one's priorities, eh?

EDIT: Okay. I love Smash 4 3DS a lot. But it's not going to interrupt my Brawl hacking.

So Cold and K. Rool will resume shortly. But for now, I'm putting all my focus on my Miku import. I want her to be as perfect as I can make her, since I'll be using her in my PSA over Ike/BrawlEx. From now on, all my PSAs go over clonable characters. Except Smash 4 Bowser and Little Mac.

I haven't started Duck Hunt yet. I think I'll wait until the Smash 4 models of him and the duck are rippable, then I'll rig them myself, along with Smash 4 Bowser and maybe even Little Mac/Giga Mac. I have their sound effects now, so I'll wait to have their models too.

Emotionally, I'm feeling much better and motivated now.

So yeah, I thought I'd give ya updates on what I've been up to.

For Bowser and Little Mac & Giga Mac, you'd probably be better off with the existing models if the models are as low poly as I think they are. Bowser for sure would be better with the existing model, maybe use Nano & KTH's original hack if the current texture bugs you, since it's have a much better rig due to being mostly the original Brawl model and would (most likely) be higher in quality. From watching gameplay videos and just playing the game myself I've noticed that the characters switch between multiple hands in animations, exactly like how some characters in Brawl have multiple faces for their expressions, so the quality might differ between the hands and you might not get good finger rigs if they're too low-poly. I mean it's for the 3ds, the screen is zoomed out most of the time and the characters are tiny themselves so it wouldn't be surprising if the models are low quality.
Unless ripping from Wii U games is possible at the moment, gonna be quite some time before we can get the Wii U models, plus even if we could, they're from a newer game engine, on a more powerful system, so the models might be a bit too high poly for Brawl. That's always a possibility...did I just crush your hopes and dreams?
I really don't want to make you feel bad or kill your motivation, just wanted to point out that it'd best to keep using the current models (maybe new Mac models if you get a hold of the Punch Out Wii ones).
Whatever it is you choose to do, just know that I'm excited for all of these.

It's just that there are no Giga Mac models out there yet, and I'm getting a bit impatient... For the other ones, fine.

[Carnage]

i have to agree dont wait up for those models, those model will look awful when ripped they will be  very  very low poly, the 3ds makes them look half decent but once you got them on a full tv screen you will clearly tell they are very low poly models.

giga mac only decent model is if you found a way to rip punchout wii getting a low poly model froma 3ds will just look awful even on a wii game.

[Tabuu Forte Akugun]

All right, so no Smash 4 models. Gotcha.

So. Since Dropbox is being a [censored] and not letting me share files anymore, I created a new one and will start updating most of my broken links. I won't restore BRSTMs, though, they're what got my account in trouble in the first place.

So Ashley and Red will send me the model of Miku from PDF/F2nd. I'll take a good look at it, and I might even revamp her completely using that model!

[StupidMarioFan1]

Did you ever try doing K Rool over Diddy Kong? Diddy's Peanut Popgun move would've been perfect, it even has the black effect from the gun failing. Don't know about filesize or if his recovering is hard-coded or a [censored] to work with, but he could be a Plan C incase Pit doesn't work out for some reason. Doesn't hurt to have another backup plan.
Only popped into my head because I'm watching a speedrun of DKC2, and watching the K Rool fight reminded me of your moveset.

[Tabuu Forte Akugun]

Kay, guys. I need to talk. So please listen up.

My motivation to do ANYTHING, let alone mod Brawl, has been dropping like a rock.

But I'm rigging at the moment, the process is going well, so I'll keep at it. Maybe my motivation to PSA will come back later.

You know what my problem is? I take on too many projects at once. I'm currently backlogged. XP I owe someone their Lip model rigged, among many other things. I'll have to tone it down and temporarily drop some projects. No more new projects for a while. This will include the new Lord Fredrik PSA I had planned. To the backburner he goes for a bit. I want to catch up. As soon as I finish Miku's rig, I'll jump on Lip pronto, and THEN try to go back to PSA.

[Kyouma]

yeah, it happens to me too, I didnt continue with project KAI anymore becuse of that, I cant decide if either start PSAing, or if importing more or if taking care about the sfx/music or if should I make more stages; a big brawl project requires many people

[StupidMarioFan1]

I have the same prob, I mean my number of unfinished hacks is closing in on a certain overused internet meme, my problem is that I'll start, either lose the motivation to continue or gain motivation to start something else. And then I'll have no motivation to do anything because either I can't think of a new hack to try to make, or all the ones I should work on I'm not interested in.

[Tabuu Forte Akugun]

Okay, guys.

Lip's done for now (she warrants a revisit and update later, though, a couple things slipped past my crap radar rig-wise) and Project DIVA F Miku's pigtails are driving me bat[censored] crazy, so for now I'll go back to K. Rool.

Next up on my to-do list are finishing the Win2, making a couple more misc animation and perhaps another Aerial and Throw. I want to try out the Sawnd I made, however there's no way for custom / additional soundbanks yet. Not without replacing Pit's. D:

As I've said before, all my other PSAs are on hold indefinitely. I want to focus on K. Rool when I'm not trying Miku again.

And I spent a little more time on K. Rool's Running animation:

[Kyouma]

wow, this is awesome! running/walking animations are the hardest ones to make

[StupidMarioFan1]

How about an gif of him running in place? You can rename the TransN bone so you don't need to change the value in the animation itself, it's easier to see how good of a loop a running or walking animation has if it's in place.

[Calypso]

He looks really good, the run has so many details going on that just make him feel alive.

[Tabuu Forte Akugun]

Did I hear a request for a gif of him running in place?



So yeah, as per KJP's suggestion, K. Rool is getting new crouching animations / poses. Which means the Down Tilt will also be updated. It'll be the same attack, it'll just feature the new crouch.

I also just got two new ideas for a Down Throw for him: he can either throw the opponent downward and shoot them, or he can slam them down with tons of force. Your choice! I'll have a poll up.
