Hello, one and all. To the first PSA hack thread on RVlution. I am Beren Z. Your (somewhat) humble host to this thread. A while back when I started hacking, I had the idea to turn Falco into a Samurai from the land of the rising sun...Well, thanks to some recent good fortune from Ebisu (I am not part of the Shinto religion, no), it is finally here.

Before this project can come to frutition, of course. Some things need to happen, and I cannot do all of these on my own due to present limitations (namely I cannot use 3DSMAX or Vertex Box on the only BrawlBox-capable computer I have, cause it my mother's work computer). I can however make textures, do animations, and if I can learn how to successfully do so: polygon swap. The following needs to happen before I can possibly call this project complete.

  • Falco's model needs to be given solid arms as opposed to the jacket sleeves he has. This means the majority of both arms needs to be polygon swapped ( and probably, appropriately vertexed).[/*]
  • Falco needs have his body properly vertexed to look like he is wearing Samurai Armor.
    vertex stretching must be kept to a minimum in order to keep a good amount of quality.[/*]
  • His blaster must be replaced completely by a sword. I can provide this, and it is being provided by Miniova on KC:MM. There will be two versions of it, and the groupe will decide which looks best with Falco.[/*]
  • Falco's animations must be changed and/ or made from scratch in order to implement the new article (the sword). It is to be placed in his right hand.[/*]
  • Animations must be completed for an Alpha stage test, so we can catch some glitches early one and eliminate them so they won't be a problem later on.[/*]
  • Moveset must be written up and refined.[/*]
  • Remaining animations must be completed.[/*]
  • PSA must be finished.[/*]
  • Finishing touches must be applied, and balancing will begin and will continue until it is perfectly balanced for all versions of Brawl.[/*]


On KC:MM, I have started a poll, and until I get ten or more votes, that poll will remain open. In this poll you get to decide the type of Samurai that will be created. I have this URL to direct you there.

In the meantime, you may also have your own discussion about the hack, or ask to contribute if you so wish.

A good day to you all!
