The VERY LATE January Update

    What's up? Welcome to this months update. Video production on my YouTube channel has been limited due to how many projects I've been trying to complete over these past couple of months. Don't worry though, I'm working on a video and I'm hoping for it to be released sometime in mid to late February. 

    So, where have I've been? Last year I was introduced to the possibility of modding characters into Super Smash Bros. Melee. Over countless hours of lurking through the Smashboard forums, I've gathered knowledge of how modding works in the game and how I can create my own mods. That's when I discovered SSBMTextures.com, a website hosting a library of mods/textures exclusively for Melee. I've downloaded tons of files and was amazed at what was possible for a 2 decade old game. These mods had encouraged me to make my own and I've released a handful of mod/texture works on the site. One of my most notable works includes the Dragon King mod pack. 

Let's talk about what I'm up to now. I've gained an interest of trying to implement characters that were excluded from Melee. Some names include Sonic, Urban Champion, Balloon Fight Guy, etc. My goal is to replace all the clone characters with characters that were either cut or popular hoax fighters into Melee. Nothing against the clone fighters, but all of them suck hard (except for Falco). Think of this project as an alternate universe where all the clone fighters were replaced with cut characters. Of course this isn't gonna be a 100% new character with new movesets like Akaneia, I'm very limited in what I can do and it's honestly a good thing or else these mods would take WAY to long to complete. After all, I just like doing this for fun. That's all I got for this update, so enjoy some of these teaser behind the scenes photos of what to expect for the future.
