Princess Daisy was my most wanted character and I'm glad she made it in. Except she's an echo fighter of Peach and not the athletic tomboy I wanted! I wanted her to wear her shorts from the sports games, not be that orange alt of Peach taking up her own character slot. But since each character has eight alternate costumes and we only saw two (her default outfit and a white dress), maybe she could still have her athletic shorts as one of her costumes? I mean, the shorts was the only reason I wanted her in. Seeing her as a Peach clone with the dress was the biggest disappointment for me. Even worse, she was introduced to reveal Sakurai's brand for clone characters "Echo Fighters" and Lucina and Dark Pit were the only other two considered to be Echo Fighters out of all the other infamous clone characters coming back. So Daisy would inherit a lot of Peach's animations with the dress in mind. But without the dress, would those animations still look okay? I think Peach's side tilt where she kicks would look more modest on Daisy in shorts. Floating? Yeah it's much hotter. The Daisy Bomber? Who wouldn't want a girl in short shorts to hit you with her butt? The parasol? You don't need a dress to carry an umbrella. Skipping? Daisy has skipped in shorts before when she scored in Mario Tennis Ultra Smash. Now the animation I'm worried about is her dash animation. We haven't seen her dash animation but Peach had always held her dress when she ran. Daisy did the same thing in Super Mario Run so she could do that for Smash. But without the dress, what would it look like? Daisy holding her fists in front of her legs? I don't know if that makes her look tough or just looks silly. Then again, Daisy could have a new dash animation where she doesn't hold her dress. Zelda didn't hold her dress, right? Her taunts would very likely be different so no need to worry about the dance, which would still look fine with the shorts. Anyway, do you want the shorts as an alternate costume?
