Need help wirh changing CSS

[randomlettters]

Hey, I'm new to modding my Wii and had a question about changing the Character Select Screen, and only the CSS (although if this isn't possible, its all good), in Brawl-. As I said, I am currently running Brawl- (running it through Gecko through HBC) and want to texture hack some characters, including Shiek and ZSS. However, with the current Brawl- CSS they aren't separate choosable characters on the screen so I wouldn't be able to see what costume I'm choosing.

If I install a new CSS (say for example, the one Most Downloaded in the Brawl Vault), when installed, will it maintain the way that Brawl- controls character transformations? IE, in Brawl- right now, when Samus uses a Smash Ball she doesn't transform into ZSS. I want to keep this. So, if I install a new CSS with ZSS as a separate choosable character, can I still have it so that they dont transform? As well, when I click on ZSS's icon, will anything happen? IE, will it be linked to the character?

I guess, as an addendum, if I wanted to install one of these, woulld I be able to swap out the file I currently have in the Brawl- files, or would I have to use the File Code Patch thingy.. I'm not sure what exactly that thing is used for (Although I have no desire to set up riivolution at this point), and I already have a codes folder in my SD card, as it came with the Brawl- install.

Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Having separate CSS character icons will not change how the transformations are. Samus still won't transform and vice versa. The only thing it does affect is independent Pokemon Trainer Pokemon -- if you choose one, say Charizard's own separate CSS icon, your down-B becomes useless and you will not be able to switch out between the other two Pokemon.
