Sup everypeeps, it's br3compactor here.

I've been featuring hacks on KC:MM's blog for around a year now, but I feel like I shouldn't be looking just into what catches my eye - even though I'm often checking the Vault, sometimes many great hacks are release close to each other, and end up being postponed as a feature even to the point of being forgotten. I am human, after all.

Some of the hackers here might also be wondering about how to be featured on the KC:MM Blog. I'm here to clear it up to a sense.

That said, I decided to bring back the "Get Featured" thread... with a twist, that is.

You can use this thread to suggest a hack to be featured in KC-MM's blog. If you think an specific hack is absolutely great and has amazing quality, bring it! I'll analyse it, and if it fits the requirements, there's a great chance of it being featured (with a video, even - courtesy of Faraway Brawl Hacks, the person responsible for the video previews for the blog).

HOWEVER, there is only one rule.

You can't suggest your own work.

If the hack you want to suggest is made by you or involves you (collab-wise), you can't post it. You're free to suggest anyone else's works but not your own.

This will allow me to see which hacks OTHER USERS love, and caught their eye. If it caught their eye and they believe it is feature-worthy, then I should give it a check. Maybe it IS feature-worthy.

However, in case you're here because you want to know how to get YOUR WORK featured, here are a few things you need to take into account when making your hacks (I'll be putting it on spoilers because it can be a bit lengthy):

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

In general, or TL;DR version, just try to get as professional as you can! The more it looks like something that could have been on Brawl to begin with, more likely you are to be featured!

I have two quick questions, if you would please answer them, though I'm not making you answer them, of course:

Of course!

Question 1: Where would I go to request featuring my own hacks instead of someone else's? Because honestly, there are too many good hacks to count, so I figured why not do my own, since the others are most likely already featured anyway? I mean, retextures, if they're high enough quality can be something to be featured, can they not?

Nowhere, really. If your stuff has quality, someone will recommend it, so, no need to worry. However, though, by now, I find it unlikely that simple textures will be featured. Simply because it would take A LOT for a texture to be impressive by now, and stand out.

Question 2: If I feature my own hacks in that other thread, am I allowed to feature ones that I give credit to, if the credit is only because it was a request?(e.g. my Mr. L recolors)

I think this is also answered in the first one. To be featured, there is nowhere you can suggest your own stuff.


If you really want to showcase your stuff, I suggest making your own thread, or posting them in the WIP thread while you're working on them.

Firstly I'd like to suggest my original Sonic character texture. Ari the Hedgehog.

Secondly, I'd like to suggest bizzozeron's 64 Remix Link.

That was unexpected! It's a actually a collab between Rosetta-Hime and I. I've sent it to Rosetta to fix his ears, so whenever they're fixed he'll be released. Thank you!

Well, I guess it should go without saying that you gotta wait until it's finished to suggest. I can't test, and even less feature, an unfinished hack.

lol, I know. I just brought it up in case you wanted to keep an eye out for it when it does come out.

I also love jaystring's work. His rigging is is probably in the top 5%! However, I do think it should be pointed out that he doesn't optimize his models whatsoever. Most of them are so high poly you can't really use them on an actual Wii, without lag.
His ZSS (which looks beautiful!) has 33192 facepoints, as apposed to Brawls 17433
However, his work is undeniably some of the best currently being posted.
