Okay, I really want some characters to return as DLC, but, unfortunately, the CSS isn't just big enough. Plus, some characters don't deserve their own slots. So, I'm going to talk about who I want as a DLC alt character swap, and then I'll ask you.

Mr. L-:4luigi:
Roy-:4lucina:
Dr. Luigi-:4luigi:
Mrs. Pac man-:4pacman:
Paper Mario- :4gaw:
Pichu-:4pikachu:

Who do you guys think should just be an alternate costume for DLC? Let me know.

Pichu IS a joke character. No character in the game has the stupidly fun stupidness that Pichu had.

I don't think Roy, Pichu, Paper Mario work well over Lucina ,Pikachu and Game & watch. Isn't Pichu kind of small and Roy plays different from Lucina the same goes for Paper Mario.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind just some more alt colors, especially if those alt colors were based on other characters or things withing the characters respective franchise.

Say, for example Shadow Dedede colors for:4dedede:, Kumatora colors for :4lucas:or colors resembling any character from the Sonic series for:4sonic:(we really don't need 50 shades of blue).

What can I say, I just really like my palette swaps.

Of course, they'd have to be reasonably cheap, since they're just a new texture for an existing model, which shouldn't require too much effort.

Get some Strikers uniforms on the Mario Characters and I would be all over that! Oh and especially Dry Bowser! You know what give Charizard his other Mega form as a costume while we're at it!

Colors sounds like a good idea for another thread. I'd totally comment on that. You should make that a thing.

When we're talking in a thread like this, you really need to understand some ground rules for how Alternate Costumes work before going crazy with ideas. If we're talking about alts in the vein of Overalls Wario and Captain Alph, then keep these in mind:
#1. No Gameplay changes can be made. If you change their moves or stats at all, they're no longer a costume, they're now a clone like Dark Pit and Lucina, and would appear on the CSS.
#2. Because of #1, you can't include characters that would imply gameplay differences, because that would make people mad. For example, if you made Wolf a costume for Fox, but he played the same, people would be pissed because we understand that Wolf plays differently. This is also why Dixie can't be a costume for Diddy, as another example.
#3. The hitboxes must be identical, meaning they must be shaped roughly the same. Things like grafting Chunky Kong onto DK's body or Pichu onto Pikachu's body... they just don't work. It'd be impossible unless you made them a new clone character and more than just a costume.

Now, with those criteria in mind:
Luigi-> Mr. L
Bowser-> Dry Bowser
Sheik-> Impa
Pit-> Classic Pit
Captain Falcon-> Blood Falcon
Villager-> Tom Nook

I'll probably think of more later...

Zelda - Skyward Sword incarnation <It's a must! ;_;>

Link - Zelda Wii U incarnation

Ganondorf - Hyrule Warriors incarnation

Mario - Super Strikers gear

Bowser - Dry Bowser

Sheik - Ocarina of Time incarnation <She at least needs the outfit she actually used in her home series.>

Toon Link - Outset Island clothes

Peach - Tennis/Golf/Baseball Gear

Rosalina - Mario Kart bike suit <To be fair, it is the only other costume she actually HAS beyond the old princess dress concept art>

Bowser Jr. - Honestly, i'd be fine with just giving Jr. and the Koopalings some extra colors so multiple people can use the same costume.

Yoshi - Super Strikers gear

I feel character alts should be few and far between. For most it does not fit with the characters existing move set.

Example: Dry Bowser turning into Giga Bowser or Daisy summoning a bunch of peaches.

Or in some cases the alt needs to be more fleshed out;

Example: Blood Falcon would require a different voice, and different vehicle.

Sakurai has already adjusted voices for Robin's character, so it can be done, but what Sakurai hasn't done yet is texture tweeks or recolours for existing moves. Typically the alt fits in seamlessly with the move set.

:4dk: Super Kong
:4diddy: Super Kong
:4yoshi: Every single colour variation ever
:4megaman: Helmetless
:4lucina: Masked
:4dedede: Masked
:4ness: Ninten (Fuctions like Alph for Olimar)
:4villager: An alt slot dedicated to resemble your own Villager from your New Leaf save file. (Cross platform functionality)
:4robinm::4robinf: An alt slot dedicated to resemble your own Avatar from your Awakening save file. (Cross platform functionality)
:4charizard::4greninja::4jigglypuff::4lucario::4pikachu::4mewtwo: Shinies


Fleshed Out Alts

:4falcon:Blood Falcon
- Announcer calls out "Blood Falcon" when selected, and on the winning screen.
- Crowd will also cheer "Blood Falcon".
- Colour and texture adjustments made to certain moves to give him slightly more flavour.
- Colour and texture adjustments purely cosmetic and don't effect hit boxes, damage boxes or reach etc.
- Blood Hawk vehicle comes during the Final Smash.
- Different voice from Captain Falcon.

:4link: Dark Link
- Announcer calls out "Dark Link" when selected, and on the winning screen.
- Crowd will also cheer "Dark Link".
- Colour and texture adjustments made to certain moves to give him slightly more flavour. (Proper sword and shield colourations.)
- Colour and texture adjustments purely cosmetic and don't effect hit boxes, damage boxes or reach etc.
- Triforce Slash is recoloured to blacks instead of golds.
- Different voice from Link.

:4peach: Daisy
- Announcer calls out "Daisy" when selected, and on the winning screen.
- Crowd will also cheer "Daisy".
- Colour and texture adjustments made to certain moves to give him slightly more flavour. (Maybe a different coloured Toad or Toadette)
- Colour and texture adjustments purely cosmetic and don't effect hit boxes, damage boxes or reach etc.
- The Final Smash has the peaches look like Flowers/ Daisies.
- Different voice from Peach.


Functionally these characters damage ratios, hit boxes, reach, stats, etc etc etc. Are all the same no changes made in this aspect. Purely cosmetic.

I woulda made the Blood Falcon, Dark Link, and Daisy alts unlockable or exclusive to the Limited Edition version of the game.

How about we get the actual ability to select the color of the characters costume/alt costume just like in Street Fighter X Tekken. That, would be a great DLC many would kill for.

Roy needs to be his own character because he plays much differently than Marth and Lucina. Pichu wouldn't work as a Pikachu alt given his differences to Pikachu. Paper Mario i'm a bit iffy about.

As for my alts...

:4peach:Daisy
:4falcon:Black Shadow
:4ness:Ninten
:4marth:Leif
:4lucina:Chrom
:4ganondorf:Melee Ganondorf

I'd like Pac Man to have a Ms. Pac Man alt.
And Fox McCloud to have two James McCloud alts (One from StarFox, one from F-Zero)

And more that I'm too lazy to type.

I would like to see a set of costumes for Shulk. Like the M100, Asura, and Jungle sets for example. However, I would like to see more. I'm also on board with the masked Lucina and Masked Dedede alternates. Dry Bowser is another I would like to see. I would also like to see different versions of Zelda and Link.
