Hello everyone. It's been a while, and I feel I should give and update on things.

At this point in time I'm no longer really working on Super Smash Bros. Brawl mods, but this shouldn't be mistaken for not wanting to; I do check the site occasionally, but I don't really have the means to "complete" the mod as I'd like to right now as content I could convert or use has ceased quite a bit (this site is losing some big contributors). I can see that Project M characters still aren't site legal, and most importantly, I still have problems with porting Ryu's GFX meaning that I can't make him an EX cloned character... so even if I were still around, I wouldn't have much to update everyone with.

I was having a bad day and went to this forum expecting the worst (I've been sort of hiding from it) but I can see that everyone here is still the same loving community they were when I left. You guys are awesome maybe I'll see some of you at a Smash convention some time? That'd be fun. If someone wanted to set that up then I'd probably come ang hang with everyone (I am East coast though, so that might not even be possible since most people I know here are West Coast or UK)

But yeah, at this point I'm not entirely sure what to do, and I'm still waiting to see what the site will allow, as beyond those characters I don't believe much was added to the build anyway (I think I added in another incomplete stage page... a Riolu slot clone to Lucario... a Black Shadow one slot mod where he uses the black bull punch... probably a bunch of glitch fixes that some might not even notice... and that's all I remember) so unless I'm mistaken, anything people have been circulating is still a ton of content and you're not missing out on too much. Or maybe I'm wrong and I did a lot more? Aha, I doubt it, it' been a while. I recently found my SD card with the build on it cracked, but I believe it can still be ran... anyway, I just looked at the site again and the only things I'd be able to do is add about 6 more stages that aren't recolors and are of build quality, and I'd add in one new PSA into it's own slot.

If a completely working Brawl EX Ryu is made and fully functional, then it'd help me past that hump, but PM characters are still a no-no so... :/ I know I could always just  release it without those two characters so... we'll see. Ryu's a big deal as I think I've been one of the top guys for porting GFX... and I can't port his as I can't figure out where the Hadukens are (I checked the usual spots and looked at some related sub actions and whatnot to no avail). It'd be cool to one day check back and see someone's got it figured out.

And a big "we'll see" is all I can guarantee. I can't really be swayed on this. But I do want people to know that they aren't missing on too much more content anyway. I don't know what's being shared (nor do I personally care as I did my part in removing controversial material and anything else that's circulating isn't necessarily mine anyway) but it's probably closer to what I have then everyone might think, and given the time that's passed, people may have added in more stuff then I ever did.

Sorry if this post got some people hyped. I'm still not saying goodbye, I still lurk here, some of you still talk to me through other media, but I'm stuck and while I don't want to be stuck I also don't want to take risks so... here we are.

This was and still is one of the greatest sections of my life. I'll be around from afar. 'til then.

East coast eh?  Maybe I'll have to come kick your ass...  Beat you at your own game perhaps?  Well a guy could dream lol but I really ain't that great to begin so that's probably never gonna happen lol

As far as I'm concerned you're quite literally a God amongst these forums,  and this is by far the most superior build I've ever played,  even if it wasn't all your work you've done one hell of a job putting everything together!

Who knows,  maybe we will hear more from you in the future,  perhaps we won't,  but you've already done more than enough,  don't get me wrong,  more is welcome though

Hope to hear from you again soon!

Hey, thanks for the response. I remember previous builds freezing half of the time. This new one barely does that.

So one last question... Would I be able to add on anything to this pack (like skins/costumes) or is it unchangeable?

Should be able to but I couldn't begin to tell you how lol,  I never got that far into the Brawl molding scene lol,  I'm sure you can find so decent tutorials to get you started though if that's what you're looking to do

Will Paper Mario/SMBZ Mario comeback? I want to play as him, but other packs that have him are terrible.
Post Merge: April 22, 2016, 12:54:29 PMI know you're busy Nebulon, but do you have any plans for:
Simon Belmont
Skull Kid
Silver
Ichigo
Luffy
Riku
Raiden
Dante? (I know you had him earlier but will he return?)
Shulk

Currently this pack is no longer in development so unless Nebulon chosen to return to the scene there is a good chance none will be added or readded

So everything works smoothly with this... but what happened to Dark Samus, Dante, and a few others? I see they are still in a few of the files, but I don't see them in the game itself.

Unfortunately,  so characters were removed due to freezing the game (Dark Samus is a prime example) others have been removed to be tweaked or replaced with a more fitting character (by Nebulons standards) as mentioned above unless Nebulon chosen to return to this project there probably won't be any more additions or alterations to this pack

That would actually be awesome Sparky! I have looked everywhere for the latest build, but as of yet, i don't think you can get it on the internet. If you could put it up, we would all owe you a big thank you!

Yeah I'll look into it Sunday perhaps,  just got done with calling hours and have a funeral tomorrow but afterwards I can upload it.

This is unless Nebulon asks otherwise,  seeing that it is his build I won't upload if he asks me not to

I don't have it uploaded anywhere right now but I have the latest build minus the latest patch,  if needed I can upload it somewhere for you guys,  I just wish Nebulon would give a few replies to some of the people asking questions here lol

(I believe the latest patch fixed Raditz final smash and a couple other bugs but it would work without it)

honestly am i just being stupid not knowing how to get this onto the wii i tried it and it tells me there are to many codes

I'm not the smartest when it comes to softmodded Wii's but I do believe some loaders (typically older)  can only run up to so many lines,  might I suggest either updating your loader if it isn't the latest or trying a new one. If you're loading Brawl from a USB I found USB Loader GX did the trick for me and there are quite a few others people have recommended as well.  If you have a physical copy of the game then the Project M Loader hasn't let me down yet.  I'd just say experiment till you find one that suits you.

Somebody that is smarter in this area can correct me if I'm wrong,  I sure wouldn't mind xD

Just a minor bug report,  in fact it's not even relevant to mist stages but if Dark Link uses his Left/Right B and happens to hit water at the same time he becomes invisible (using the same buttons causes him to reappear) like I said really not a big deal at all but it's there lol (I used Great Bay and tried using it to cross the water between the rock and the landing next to the turtle if that helps determine the cause but I'm guessing it's the water ending the move)

Moving on its very rare but I've had a few freezes while switching between alts.  I can't seem to replicate any of them though,  just happens lol but it's been maybe once out of 50 games or so so that don't bother me

As far as characters do,  I seen it mentioned before but I think the Mega Charizard (not sure if both but definitely the last) may be a little too strong in attacks,  particularly his left/right B,  nothing quite like opening a game with it and sending opponents to the blast zones first hit lol

All in all loving the build

I miss Dark Samus lol,  any chance she may return or is she out? Still a little curious as to what Vegetas down taunt causes (so red? Aura appears around him and the more it's used the faster it flashes,  only goes away with a left/right A) only curious cause he is like my favorite character maybe tied with Shadow

Moving on though did we lose Stock Stamina?  Or did we never have it lol I swear I used it in a previous build and now I can't figure it out lol

I don't have much to report however I did notice one thing, Raditz for one reason or another can't use his final smash,  instead he continues to use Neutral B

All in all I'm enjoying the new build already
I do however have one other issue that's plagued me the last couple builds,  some of the stages from each page load endlessly,  I don't see anyone reporting that so I'm guessing it doesn't pertain to everyone,  anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

I'm loading the game through the latest version of the Project M Launcher (Which is when I first noticed this,  so maybe I need another loader?)
And I'm now using a 16GB SDHC card

Thanks for all the hard work Nebula for putting this pack together and anyone who can help

when do i have to press X and Y? i press them both at he SSS but nothing happens. I tried pressing A with the wiimote but it didn't work either

I believe you need to hit X+Y (or w/e the wiiimote uses)  before the SSS (stage select screen),  try doing it from the CSS (Character Select Screen) and see it that helps

To those who are having some issues loading,  are you guys using micro SD cards (in adapter of course) just curious,  when u first started using this pack almost all the additional stages froze and a few characters froze,  however I bought a new 2gb SD card and used the same files and the game functioned much better (with the 4gb release I've since upgraded to a 4gb SDHC) I'm just saying maybe the wii don't load this correctly from micro SD cards,  though somebody with better experience is more than welcome to tell me I'm wrong lol I barely know what I'm talking about here (I have no clue what dolphins restrictions are so I only suggest this could be a cause of issues on a wii)

Additionally I noticed a page back somebody said something about announcer calls,  up until now I thought they had just been removed as I never hear them,  is there maybe something wrong with my set up?
(4gb version) I really ain't worried about it just now starting to think something is wrong lol

I don't really want to ask a whole lot of questions about characters but I've pretty much given up on this one,  Does anyone know what Vegeta's down taunt actually does?  It makes him flash (red I think but I'm color blind xD) and the more you use it the faster it flashes, and it fades away if you use a side smash while on the ground but I don't see anything else about it unless it's just for looks lol

On another topic I'm really liking this build,  besides trying to load classic or tourney I've only froze once in the first 3 hours I've used this version,  and as a plus seeing "La La LaLaLa"  as a stage made me smile,  that stage is my new favorite xD

When it sends me to mediafire, they're no files...

I believe it's been said before that if the files were not visible that could mean that the new files could be being uploaded,  and with the release being today (tomorrow based on timezone) it very well could be the cause

Additionally I seen in an earlier post that we should use a 4 or 8gb SDHC card and not micro,  to be sure before I go out and buy another card,  would a micro 8gb SDHC card work in an adapter or does it have to be a regular 8gb?

Currently I'm guessing it doesn't work but hey if I'm wrong I won't complain,  don't need to find a new card xD

Thank you for telling me I'll test them again. What stage was it too? I want to replicate everything entirely.

Come to think of it the only map I've tried is Final Destination

I'm pretty sure it's on my end seeing as I load through the Project M Launcher (don't have the proper SD card to load without the launcher) but to be on the safe side in case it aint just me ive noticed Bomberman, Dragonite, and Tabuu fail to load when starting a match (freeze) as well as an alternate costume for Mario freezes on CSS but I do believe that's already being addressed, everything else seems to function properly

Like I said I'm pretty certain those three are caused on my end but to be on the safe side figured I'd leave a reply
