Title: Character Expansion
Post by: SemiPsycho on February 01, 2013, 08:33:15 PM
I understand that the stage expansion pack requires custom stages to be disabled, but like the stage expansion pack for Mario Kart Wii, is it possible to create a character expansion for Super Smash Bros. Brawl? I know that this will require all the .pac and .pcs files inside the SD card destination for the character, and I would have to edit the character sound package somehow to add archives and such into it for my new characters, or steal some sounds from other characters, and might have to add things in common3.pac for someone such as Link. Does anybody think this is physically possible? Is it already possible?

It isn't possible yet and maybe it won't be possible any time soon. Anyway, I think this is the wrong section to post this...

Sorry I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this but general hacking discussion. As you see there are actually a lot of moved topics in this category. Are you just saying that it's not possible yet as in nobody's trying to figure it out right now or someone is working on it?

Some people had been working on it, like Dantarion and Phantom Wings.
The results are these:

As you see, thanks to that people, we are allowed to port characters over other ones (Not all of them). But a perfect character expansion isn't possible yet. The closest thing to that is the Brawl masquerade, but it isn't finished and if I remember well, the last time ds22 updated that was one year ago.

So actually, with these three threads, it sounds like quite some progress is being made!

Not enough, since DS22 stopped it.

Even less because I don't think a PAL version is being planned. :<

It doubles it by switching folders. You're still limited to the 39 slots in Brawl, but you could have say one folder with all the default characters, and then the other with all PSA's. You couldn't have Lucario fight Mewtwo over Lucario since they use the same slot, but you could have Lucario fight a character/PSA from the second folder.

Except OH HEY not everyone likes that sort of thing or actually prefers infinity slots. What if I want to fight a Slot 1 Link costume with a Slot 2 Mario costume? WHOOPS, I CAN'T.
