The dark side is with Meta Vader

Yeah this was kind of a joke to us to begin with and this character was originally intended to be a Storm Trooper, but I don’t recall any Storm Troopers carrying a lightsaber.  Oh yeah, and keep in mind that the black things on the sword will be removed later.

Yep…That’s the Imperial logo there…

“Luke, I am your father lol”

“NO WAI, VADER!! NO WAI!!”

Ignore the blue sleeves…I’ll fix it someday soon…Srsly ignore it.

This an advanced version of the force choke where Vader actually uses his hands.

This is a secret Sith technique.

By the way, Vader can fly now.

    Ignoring the rest of you.

    Haha, epiiic. :D I love the shiny mask. Will you go back and edit the pics on Luke’s page to be not blurry like the Dojo did?

    And tomorrow will be Koopa Troopa from Squirtle, I bet. Which would be an AWESOME hack.

  7. Gravatar Icon 7 Onyxleo Aug 24th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    If it’s Koopa troopa Squirtle then can we get Ivysaur/Goomba and a Charizard/Ridley? XD Just saying….

    Hmmm… just wondering for upcoming hints, are you guys fans of any anime at all?

  9. Gravatar Icon 9 liero116 Aug 24th, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    @ViralDude

    We will be doing a few anime characters, but keep in mind that this project is mainly for video game characters

  10. Gravatar Icon 10 ViralDude Aug 24th, 2008 at 10:04 pm

    . . . Hmm. Opens new possibilities for us to wonder about here . . . .

    Fans of the company “Gainax” at all?

    That’s Link skywalker not Fiercy Deity Link.

    Is Vaders mask actually reflective, or does the texture just make it seem reflective?

  17. Gravatar Icon 17 me Aug 25th, 2008 at 2:08 am

  19. Gravatar Icon 19 SkillzThatKillz Aug 25th, 2008 at 5:11 am

    I knew that it was gonna be darth vader what other person has a red sword and a choke move other than darth vader

  20. Gravatar Icon 20 JKR Aug 25th, 2008 at 6:00 am

    You should make black shadow out of captain falcon that would be awsome.

  21. Gravatar Icon 21 Meaningless Shadow Aug 25th, 2008 at 6:41 am

    What, no “I find you’re lack of faith disturbing” pun? I’m disappointed.

  22. Gravatar Icon 22 Raganook Aug 25th, 2008 at 7:21 am

    Ghosteo opted for the SRSLY!? YA NO WAI! path instead ;)

  23. Gravatar Icon 23 Ridley Aug 25th, 2008 at 8:20 am

    This was awsome! Can’t wait for Koopa Troopa too. What I really want to see is dry bones. That would really make my day.

  24. Gravatar Icon 24 Nick Forrest Aug 25th, 2008 at 9:29 am

    Nice… The FS swordswipe should be red though :p

  25. Gravatar Icon 25 olimar64 Aug 25th, 2008 at 12:30 pm

    Have you guys noticed that Meta Knights mask ain’t reflective, It’s Vader’s Mask? :O

  26. Gravatar Icon 26 chaoscntrl Aug 25th, 2008 at 12:32 pm

    I thought that Vader would be Metaknight, mostly because hes the perfect choice, but I thought it might also be link, because of the “father” thing.

    wow, your right haha!
    just pasted Vadar’s mask on Meta’s mask =P
    It turned out to look even more sweet than probably planned

  28. Gravatar Icon 28 Hyrulian_Royalty Aug 25th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    :O

    I thought only video game characters, but now we got luke, vader, zim, neutron…

    PLZPLZPLZPLZ do Goku. This isn’t a request but if you guys will do other tv show characters, do Goku. Your whole point of this project is to raise the popularity of brawl and I’m sure a Goku costume would work MAGICALLY. Lucario’s the perfect fit for a Goku costume and we’ve only seen one texture from lucario so far. PLZPLZPLZ, and again, this isn’t a request even thought it seems very requestlike…:P

  29. Gravatar Icon 29 Raganook Aug 25th, 2008 at 2:38 pm

    That…couldn’t have been more of a request if you TRIED.

  30. Gravatar Icon 30 liero116 Aug 25th, 2008 at 5:46 pm

    To everyone talking about our video game character only rule: we are allowed to break our own rules.

    @Nick Forrest

    Don’t worry, that will be done in the final version. That particular texture or effect was not included in Meta Knight’s texture file. It is most likely located in the common file and if we changed that, every single Meta Knight would have that effect applied. We’re still determining whether we want to go that route or not.

    @Hyrulian Royalty

    Are you “requesting” Goku into Lucario because it’s apparently the same voice actor? Or are you requesting Goku into Lucario because a few special moves are similar to one another? With those two facts aside, I don’t feel like this would work. I’m quite sure that Goku doesn’t look like a dog with spikes on his hands and fur on his chest. We have pushed the envelope a bit here, but that’s a bit too much. Who knows, though…We may make some sort of Dragon Ball Z character…

    @SkillzThatKillz

    Yeah I think everyone knew that…Well except for Raganook…

  31. Gravatar Icon 31 Chaoscntrl Aug 25th, 2008 at 6:05 pm

    to Onyxleo, I think Ivysuar would make a better Piranha plant.

  34. Gravatar Icon 34 Someguy(Matthew) Aug 25th, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    Mostly video game characters… does that mean Gunpei Yokoi counts? What about Freddie Mercury weilding a microphone stand sword, what with that PC game and all…

    … what? I was tired of seeing people request popular characters everyone seems to want! =P I know that you aren’t really taking any requests, so don’t take this seriously… as awesome as they’d be. >__>

    More on topic, I love out of the blue ones like this here. I swear the sw… er, lightsabers in the pictures actually glow at times.

  35. Gravatar Icon 35 Hyrulian_Royalty Aug 26th, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    @ Liero: I don’t know anything about the voice actor but I do know that Lucario’s special moves are very similar to Goku’s such as the B and Up B. But the main reason I think it’s the perfect match is Lucario’s body. He has big legs that go into skinny feet. That’s perfect for Goku because he has those baggy orange pants, that get small when they reach his brown boots. You can use the invisiblity texture for the spikes on Lucario’s feet. Then, Lucario also has a tail which you can make brown for Goku’s saiyan tail. Finally, I’m sure all of the stuff on Lucario’s head can be made into spiky hair or be removed with invisibility, the only problem is the dog face. But, I think it’s the best bet you got with Lucario, because what other texture can you make with him where the dog face WOULD fit? And DBZ has many videogames so it’s not straying from the rules too much :P Alas, I think any DBZ character would do since Smash seems like the perfect place for one of them. Thanks :)

  36. Gravatar Icon 36 ViralDude Aug 26th, 2008 at 7:41 pm

    @ Hylian_Royalty

    Lucario? And possible dog costumes?

    “Duck hunt dog lucario” could work. So could “Parappa Lucario.” “K.K.Slider Lucario” as well. Don’t forget the possibility of a “Sam and Max: Sam Lucario” dog. Oooh- this one’s good: a creepy, blood covered, “Resident Evil Zombie dog Lucario.” And these are just a few dog characters that have been in videogames.

    The point is, there’s actually quite a few things you could make lucario look like that’s a dog. Goku would be a poor choice because he shares very few traits with Lucario, most likely making any attempt at a good looking model for Goku using Lucario pretty hard.

    Sure, some of their moves are a bit similar looking, but so far most of the models in this project haven’t been focussed on for their movesets. Zim-Ness uses psychic projectiles and has a baseball bat. So does PheonixWright-Lucas. And I’m sure Luke Skywalker never used a boomerang, bombs, and arrows. But the costumes fit the models well, and that’s what matters more in comparison to a its moveset.

    I’m guessing based upon the many models we’ve seen thus far that the models are really made by which character it would be possible on and if it would look good. I’m not ruling out Goku Lucario or Goku at all, but it’s just apparent that some model pairings such as a Goku-Lucario one would be most likely VERY difficult to successfully pull off.

  37. Gravatar Icon 37 Hyrulian_Royalty Aug 26th, 2008 at 7:46 pm

    Ooh, I like your ideas viraldude. KK slider and zombie dog lucario sound great! Hopefully Syntax Error breaks one of their bigger rules about two costumes per character because the possibilites are just endless and it’s exciting looking forward to the new costumes!

  38. Gravatar Icon 38 AJ64 Aug 27th, 2008 at 12:21 am

    They have said that for many characters there will be more than 2 alternate costume changes so don’t worry about your favourite character already having 2 costumes.

  39. Gravatar Icon 39 Mic Aug 27th, 2008 at 1:01 am

    Just curious, with the 2 skins per character, how are you choosing what skins to be replaced, and are any being replaced the default skins?

  40. Gravatar Icon 40 SamuriFerret Sep 2nd, 2008 at 4:38 am

    With all the talk of possible dog costumes for Lucario, I’m surprised no-one has mentioned Amaterasu from Okami. Surely that is an obvious choice.

  41. Gravatar Icon 41 fireking220 Sep 2nd, 2008 at 8:00 am

    Well Amaterasu walks on all 4’s and Lucario walks on 2 legs but i could see that happening cause of Lucario’s face and his nose look the same as Amaterasu’s face and they rlly should come out with another one cause that game was amazing both for the Wii and the PS2, I dont want Okami to become the next Golden Sun leaving a great story with so much to say just standing like that.

  42. Gravatar Icon 42 spec Sep 2nd, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    easily the best hack

  43. Gravatar Icon 43 SamuriFerret Sep 3rd, 2008 at 3:40 am

    Yes but since Amaterasu is a God she could easily change her appearance to suit a fighting game.

  44. Gravatar Icon 44 Abraham Anderson Sep 3rd, 2008 at 2:24 pm

    OK, THE WORDS IM TYPING R RLY TINY IM NOT SURE IF MY COMPUTER IS MESSED UP OR IF THE WORDS WILL GET BIGGER WEN I SUBMIT BUT HEAR ME OUT, THE PERFECT COSTUME FOR METAKNIGHT WOULD BE…… BLUE DR. MARIO VIRUS!!! I LOVED DR. MARIO AND I BAUGHT IT FOR MY DS A FEW DAYS AGO AND I JST FOUND OUT ITS ON THE WII NOW!! THE VERSION OF THE BLUE VIRUS ON THE WII IS THE BEST, JIGGLYPUFF COULD BE A RED VIRUS AND KIRBY COULD BE A YELLOW ONE, DO U KNOW HOW EPIC THAT WOULD BE!!! THE BLUE VIRUS IS MY FAVORITE AND METAKNIGHT IS MY MAIN AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE BEST MATCH ANYWAY, IDC IF U MAKE KIRBY AND JIGGS A BLUE ONE TOO AS LONG AS U DO IT FOR META!! HIS SWORD COULD BE A RED AND YELLOW VITAMIN FROM DR. MARIO.. COME ON!! IM BEGGING U!! PLZ PLZ!! SINCE IT WAS MY IDEA IF U DO DO IT PLZ MAKE META THE BLUE VIRUS!! I LOOKED UP SOMEONE PLAYING IT ON THE WII ON YOUTUBE AND THE SKIN AROUND THE BLUE VIRUSES EYES IS BLACK, SO HIS MASK COULD BE BLACK, AND HIS EYES ARE YELLOW, SO HIS EYES COULD BE YELLOW. SO LETS SUM IT UP, HE WOULD HAVE A BLUE BODY, A YELLOW AND RED VIRUS VITAMIN AS HIS SWORD (SINCE IF WE DID A BLUE YELLOW/RED IT WOULDENT LOOK RIGHT BECAUSE OF HIS BLUE BODY) YELLOW EYES, BLACK MASK.. AND GREY FEET.. OH AND WHITE GLOVES.. AND WEN HE IS RUNNING OR FLYING HIS WINGS COULD BE BLUE AND IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE VIRUSES ANTENA’S!! SORRY FOR THE LONG COMMENT AND IF THIS WHOLE THING IS HUGE CAUSE ITS IN CAPS IM SORRY.. PLZZ THOUGH EXPERIMENT WITH IT AND THINK ABOUT IT!! IM BEGGING U!!!!! OK, BYE!!!

  45. Gravatar Icon 45 SZK Sep 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 pm

    Pretty sweet. I can’t wait for this stuff to go public. It’s all so awesome.

    And then I was reading through here and I thought; WOAH, crazt idea; A Super Sayain Mario, lol. Wearing clothes like Vegeto, that’d be hilariously awesome. Blue overalls, white shoes with those gold toes, orange shirt, IDK about the hat, lol, and longer gloves with no sleeves. But funniest of all would be a blonde, super sayain mustached Mario. And A Wario. I could just see Wario making the perfect Nappa. Drop Ganondorf or someone in as Vegeta, and here comes the epicness;

    IT’S OVER 9000!!!!!!

    lol

  46. Gravatar Icon 46 Battoubro the Manslayer Sep 5th, 2008 at 3:39 pm

    Maskless Meta Knight would look awesome! Just edit Blue Alternate Color Kirby’s face onto Metaknight’s.

  47. Gravatar Icon 47 Abraham Anderson Sep 5th, 2008 at 7:44 pm

    that would be a pretty sweet idea, u could call it “zero suit metaknight” and make him look exacaly like kirby… lol, or u could make kirby look like metaknight and call him that, it would be like metaknight without his gear is exacaly like kirby, like zero suit samus, lolll

  48. Gravatar Icon 48 Amorphis_X Sep 19th, 2008 at 10:32 pm

    47th , That Texture edit looks perfect, nice job ^^!

  49. Gravatar Icon 49 ccspec Sep 21st, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    is it possible to make these hacks permanate to the brawl disc? then use that iso backup loader to play it with these hacks using the homebrew channel?
    just a thought
