I personally feel like some of the costumes feel more 'fanmade' than others. Particularly stuff like Karate Lucario and Ninja Squirtle that's completely made up.

Okay, I'm not actually sure what I want anymore after those Sonic costumes got confirmed.

I mean, they're well made and all, I'm just saying it doesn't feel as much 'like an official Nintendo product' as everything else. Kinda reminds me of the Ultra Street Fighter 4 'Summer Vacation DLC'.

Maybe I should justify all that with some speculation: PMBR intends to give every character at least one costume, and if a character doesn't have an obvious choice, or it doesn't meet their standards, they just make something original.

Caped Lucario would require cape bones.
Squirtle Squad would interfere with the glasses easter-egg and victory pose.

You can't tell me that these wouldn't have been better choices
I can tell you they wouldn't have. The Excalibur Sonic is too visually cluttered, and Toon Link with Ezlo would take a lot of additional rigging, possible animation work, and - perhaps most importantly - might create gameplay issues by messing with the hitbox.

The internet, obviously.

I don't think they would've been better choices, either. The alts we've got are really great.

That said, Link with Ezlo actually doesn't actually use any extra animations or rigging. It's kind of weird how PM Unlocked did it. They basically created all of Ezlo's expressions and made it so all but one are transparent at any given moment, then assigned his texture animations to the same ones on Link's face so that they animate together so that it only uses what's already there. As for hitboxes, Link's cap never had any anyways, which was why they were fine to remove it for Outset Link.

tl;dr There aren't actually any technical issues or difficulties with the Ezlo cap. It's complex, but not much more than a standard costume. The outset recolors are still preferable to me, in any case, though.

Edit: Don't know why Smashboards showed my post twice when I first posted it, lol.

Loving the big boss look.

Also shame on you guys for letting Nintendo out-zero suit your zero suit.

Only logical step now is bikini zss.

I was hoping for Old Snake, but I guess he's still a possibility in the future. Doesn't Big Boss kinda break the rules though? He is technically a different character.

Hmmm... Well Solid Snake is technically a clone. Being an exact physical replica counts possibly? The only difference is the unshaped experiences between the two.

The alternate costume I expected to appear in PM got it's debut on Smash 4, and we got Big boss when I thought he wouldn't make the alt. selection, ok... I didn't expect that

Well, there's no reason to use other Snake costumes anymore.

I don't agree with Sonic just because he's a character I feel doesn't need an alt. costume. I do, however, really like the Ezlo Tlink and since the creator made sure it didn't effect gameplay, it could be a cool thing to show off. Right now, it's unlikely since we already have an alt for him though.

Personally I think most list people make imo is just awful cause of the ideas they bring up such as Shadow Costume or Boshi.



These are the costume ideas for some characters if the game is going to give each character 2 alternated according to Little Mac with wire frame and his jumpsuit. I'm picking costumes that I believe are very unexpected which Sakurai enjoys. These may never happen but I like to think they have a better chance than various other costume suggestions.

Mario - Cowboy Mario (Mario Party 2)
Peach - Sunshine Dress (Mario Sunshine) and Tanooki Peach (Mario 3D World)
Bowser - Baby Bowser Look (M&L Partners) and Dry Bowser (New Super Mario Bros.)
DK - DK Jr. Shirt (Donkey Kong Jr.) and Punch-Out DK (Punch-Out)
Yoshi - Baby Yoshi (Paper Mario GCN) and Yarn Yoshi (Yoshi's Wooly World)
Sheik Original (LoZ Ocarina) and Warrior Suit (Hyrule Warriors)
Kirby - Sleep (Kirby's Dream Land) and Mike (Kirby's Adventure)
Meta Knight - First Artwork (Kirby's Adventure) and Samurai Form (Kirby Super Star)

I would appreciate your thoughts if you agree or disagree. You can suggest your own if you want but I just wanted to share my thoughts with the community.
