Hrmm...why'd it take me so long to stumble upon this? Thread followed. 

Also, I'm glad to see something like this being worked on. The gameplay changes seem really interesting, as not many projects significantly change the formula of smash's mechanics.

Forgive me if it's already been explained, but do you have a roster size set in mind, or will you be accepting characters from anyone that's serious about contributing?

*Snip* (WARNING THIS VIDEO IS EXTREMELY [censored]ING CREEPY)

The video was indeed disturbing. The warning was a good call.

Ah, I think those were good points. It's easier to work on something guaranteed to be well received, as opposed to something nobody would relate to. That being said, I still think an original character can be somewhat successful, like "Wisp" - who isn't necessarily from an existing game series. As for badass moves, I have to agree. 

Then again, I can also appreciate the dedication it takes to make a PSA with custom animations and such. Even if I don't find the character interesting, if it's done really well, I'll probably try it out. D:

Yeah, I've seen a few of the packs replacing most characters with PSA's. Those are pretty interesting, but I've only come across a few PSA's in those packs that maybe seem like fun additions to the roster.

I'd sort of like to do something like this, if it were loosely organized - as in, anybody (or group) could work on their own characters and submit it to some sort of project lead (preferably, not myself) who would take care of the CSS and overall appearance of the project. I'm currently working on some other projects of my own, but it'd still be nice if there were a thread for something like that.

I'll maybe shelve this idea for a future thread in Project Concepts - unless someone else does it first 

I've been lurking these forums for a while now, and it's really nice to see how far Brawl hacking has advanced. That being said, I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be any interest in a project replacing all characters with entirely original characters.

To clarify: I don't mean a fan-character - or a character from an existing universe. I mean a character someone came up with on their own.

Investing some time in a project like this seems like great practice. There's 3d-modeling, UV-mapping, texturing, and rigging involved. There's also the planning stages, like sketching a character and fleshing out their back-story. There could even be sound design or voice acting, as it's possible to replace sounds.

Anyway, it was just a thought I had. It'd be nice to see something like this.
