Not to be a downer, but theres already a team working on something similar.
Reality 64: http://smashboards.com/threads/reality-64-a-smash-64-mod-for-brawl-update-5-5-2014.340730/

   This is essentially an outline and refrence to Sammi Husky's vids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEGSgNMWrPo and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ79wRtdfOA and CommittedHail's text tutorial based on the vid http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=67591.0
I prefer right to the point tutorials so I made this. Since this isn't really a tutorial I recommend you check out one of the links first. This is so you can quickly jog your memory and find the right locations fast without having to search around. I realize this might look confusing at first but it really isn't. If you can't understand this then that's too bad. I anyway made this for myself so if this doesn't help anyone else then at least I didn't make this for no purpose.

how the structure should roughly look like:

Code Select Expand

-pf
--BrawlEx
 ---CosmeticConfig
  ----Cosmetic3F.dat
--info
 ---Info.brres
 ---portrite
  ----InfFace1101.brres
--info2
 ---info.pac
 ---info_training.pac
 ---info_training_mg.pac
--menu
 ---common
  ----char_bust_tex
   -----MenSelchrFaceB1100.brres
--menu2
 ---sc_selcharacter.pac
--stage
 ---melee
  ----STGRESULT.pac


CSP = Character Selection Portrait
NmB = Name Big (on csp)
CSS = Character Selection Icon (face)
NIS = Name In Selection (on csi/face)
STC = Stock Icon
MRK = Mark (franchise icon) [48 x 46/47/48]
NIG = Name In Game (on battle portrait) [72/80/88/96/104 x 12]
CBP = Character Battle Portrait [48x56]
MRW = Mark White (white franchise icon, transparent background)

You can skip parts regarding the marks (MRK) if you don't want to add a new one.
You can also skip parts regarding stocks (STC); they don't seem to work.
