Smash Ace
We all have ideas for how to revamp our favorite Smash characters (buffing/nerfing, changing moves to better reflect canon, etc), but what small, insignificant changes would you make to the characters' appearance? For example, you know how Smash 4 revamped Bowser, Yoshi, and Ike so they'd look more like their modern designs? I'm talking about stuff like that. Not just modernizing, though - it could be anything.
Here are some of the things I'd do.
First of all, change Mario's expression. That scowl is ridiculously out of character. I realize this is a fighting game and he's gotta have his game face on, but his happy-go-lucky attitude is one of my favorite things about him and I'd like Smash to reflect that.
Two, give Diddy Kong his backpack from DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze, and also update the look of his jetpack. (He could also get a Peach-style hover out of the deal, but that's an actual gameplay change.)
Three, I know Link is rocking the Breath of the Wild look, but I'd love it if his alts were all different tunics from different games, like the Kokiri tunic from Ocarina of Time, the NES/SNES-style green-and-brown tunic with the yellow fringe around the hat (and maybe pink hair from A Link to the Past), etc. I'd also like it if Ganondorf looked like he does in the future of Ocarina of Time, with the long hair. A lot of people like the Hyrule Warriors designs, but I think those might be a little too "busy."
I also think Toon Link should have the mirror shield. This is probably going to sound silly, but it kinda bugs me that he has the hero's shield and fully-upgraded Master Sword even though it isn't actually possible to have both of those items at once in Wind Waker.
Give Fox and Falco their designs from Star Fox Zero, which are just perfect.
Last but not least, give Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong canon-accurate voices. I don't care for those animal growls. There's a video floating around where someone replaced Bowser's generic animal growls with his vocalizations from Bowser's Inside Story and it's amazing how much more personality they give him. And I'd love to hear DK let out his hilarious over-the-top death howl from the Retro games as he flies into the horizon.
...welp, those are mine. What are yours?
