The Smash 3 Project - Get Your DLC Early

[Taiko]

What's Smash 3?
Smash 3 is a visual overhaul of Brawl, with the goal of bringing Smash 4's visual style to Brawl. Though we'll be bringing the visual style, we don't plan on replicating Smash 4 1:1, as there are some things that just can't be brought over. We won't be adding Smash 4 characters. We won't be adding Smash 4 gameplay. We won't be adding Young Link.
Think of it like Brawl was developed with the visual style of Smash 4.

How did this come about?
Taiko, after seeing Smash Wii U/3DS Mario, wanted to attempt to create him in Brawl, but by making the textures from scratch. As he was working, someone else beat him to the punch with a "Smash 4 Mario" making him reconsider. Instead of dropping the idea, he decided to continue with his own brand of characters labelled "New Smash" and released two characters under said label. As he was preparing to continue, Shun sent him a message that he wanted to assist...

Shun, nearing wrap up of his "Vibrant Brawl" project was looking for the next texture project to tackle. He knew he couldn't just do another "recolour" project, as that wouldn't be a "step up" from what he had accomplished previously. Then, he saw Taiko's New Smash Mario and was intrigued. Sending Taiko a message, the two began to talk and ideas started to snow ball for New Smash. However, as the two worked, they realized this project had a specific goal, and thus the name "Smash 3" was coined.

Original Smash 3
Our original goal was to create Nintendo-eqsue textures for all the characters. As we finished characters though, we realized that with our original goal, not all characters looked "right." Some characters simply needed more complex textures to capture their feel correctly, namely the more complex ones. We've detailed the process here, so take a look if you're interested!

Texture Sources
When finished, texture sources will be released for characters in PSD format. Anyone is free to use these and release what they come up with, but proper credit must be given (either individual names listed in the original Smash 3 release, or as "The Smash 3 Team").

Awesome ;D

[Kaye Cruiser]

YES.

[Segtendo]

Lookin' gooooooood.
Peach looks a little too saturated, in my opinion, but color me hyped.

[Velen]

I honestly find Mario a bit too saturated myself.

[ShadowLuigi~NG~]

Any less saturated and these characters would look like SSB Wii U. There would not be a point to this then.

[reilavac]

I like where this is going.

Work this with the Pal Version of SSBB? But I'm from Germany an i have the Pal Version :)
Please Answer!  And this looks very Great ^^

[Tryst]

This looks Sweet! I dont know how but they look nearly HD to me. :s

[RoboticCyborg]

Looks cool. 8)

[ballsofsteel9000]

Those are some nice textures, I might have to check 'em out.  Coupled with the Trus Super Mario PSA  so Mario has his epic old school moves, I'll be smashing it up.

With all of these great projects, I don't see why anyone would dish out money for a Wii U and Smash 4.  But hey, that's just my opinion. Keep up the great work!

They should work with PAL, though I'm uncertain about Sonic's Move-set files. I think they work across versions so long as they're named properly.

If you download "The Pack", you'll need to use your own RSBP code-set, and you'll also need to rename the RSBE folder to RSBP. For now, I recommend just using the individual downloads.

This is looking great! Definitely going to follow this.
