Alternate colors/costumes

[TopTierPichu]

So as we all know Rosalina wields different colored Lumas I have been thinking that much like Olimar the Lumas will have different abilities and these are the ones I think the Lumas will have

Yellow: all around nothing special about him
Red Luma: Longer area of reach, faster
Green Luma: Higher durability
Silver Luma: Stronger attacks
Blue Luma: the ability to grab (could be a tether recovery)

What does every one else think?

 

[pitthekit]

I think that the lumas will have different attributes... They also could be just a different colour with no effects. I think blue luma will have a better recovery
I think red luma will be power
Sliver luma could be strongest but may not listen to you.
Green luma could be range.

 

[extremechiton]

i think the luma colors have no effect untill sakurai states otherwise.

 

[Erimir]

If they have different abilities, then it potentially affects the way her moves work.

If they give you the ability to swap out for a different color Luma, then that removes a move that could've been used otherwise.

If the Luma's color is irrelevant, then neutral-B could summon your Luma, but if you already have a Luma, it could do something else. Swapping would take a potential move then.

Personally, I'd rather they not make her like Olimar. Makes it more complicated and more difficult to master and potentially adds an element of chance. While different colored Lumas do turn into different things, I don't see the kinds of abilities you're proposing as really fitting with that anyway. There's not necessarily any good way to reflect the difference between turning into a launch star vs. a pull star.

 

[extremechiton]

If you already have a luma summoned, i think pressing the summon button again draws luma back to rosalina similar to olimars whistle.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

What alt costume or palette swap could you want for Rosalina?

All I can think of is her Biker outfit from Mario Kart.

the pullstar could be her grab as well as a tether recovery

Color swaps-
Blue- her regular appearance
Light green- green team
Red- to resemble fire Rosalina in 3d world
Yellow- gold like, somewhat resemble daisy?
Pink- to resemble peach
White- because why not

 

[Protom]

What about that black luma with blue eyes that was rosalinas advisor? I doubt he will be a part of the move set, but what if?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I did post my palette swaps several months back.

Spoiler

 

[Jave]

Teal Dress - Her regular appearance. Used for Team Blue.
Fire Rosalina - Red dress from Super Mario 3D World. Used for Team Red.
Garden Outfit - Dress in shades of green resembling the ones on Gusty Garden. Used for Team Green.
Gold Rosalina - A glittery gold dress with orange borders, gem, and crown. References Gold Mario from New Super Mario Bros. 2.
Wedding Dress - Entirely white dress.
Black Hole Rosalina - Rosalina with the entire "space" texture she has in Super Guide mode in Super Mario Galaxy 2. She will probably require special borders not to be confused with background in Space/Night stages.

Alt costumes.......the biker outfit from Mario kart and her old concept art design.

Cosmic Spirit could be her black color pallet.

what is wrong with make rosa even more hard master?? you can already tell she will require a lot of tech skill and reads.

I dunno, why not make all characters have their moves randomly do slightly different things? Maybe Fox's Blaster should shoot different colors that do different things. Samus's Charge Shot could randomly be a different beam every time, and you have to know when to use the different ones and save them for different things. The Links could have randomly different bombs. Why not do this for everyone? It would make the game harder to master. Do you think that would make it better?

Adding more complications to everything doesn't inherently make them better.

Like you said yourself, she already will require skill to master. Why should they add random Lumas with different properties that would require even more skill on top of that?

 

[Banjodorf]

I'm honestly under the impression that the differently colored Lumas are purely for cosmetic effect. Giving them different abilities when the color summoned is as of yet random seems to unnecessarily complicate an already complex character.

Blue- her regular appearance

Teal Dress - Her regular appearance. Used for Team Blue.

Her regular appearance isn't blue enough to represent her blue team pallette swap.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Her regular appearance isn't blue enough to represent her blue team pallette swap.

It's not green enough either, so I think her default color won't be used to represent team colors.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Isn't Red Luigi pink? I don't think it matters if she's blue enough.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

Isn't Red Luigi pink? I don't think it matters if she's blue enough.

Marth does have a 2nd blue color that is used for Team blue in Brawl though, so maybe we will have a Dark Blue for Rosalina.

I agree having uncontrollable random properties is dumb I am saying that I want to control what color pops out... If I can't then I want lumas color to be a cosmetic change. Nice post.

 

[MAtgSy]

Some one on Reddit suggested the colors represents the luma's health, since it may not be sharing Rosalina's percentage.

 

[extremechiton]

i think its more like hit points. like olimars pikmin die if they take too much damage.
the color representing health doesnt make sense cuz in the trailer, the luma didnt change color when hit.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

At least the good thing is that the Lumas won't affect Rosalina's score if they're taken out.

 

[greenluigiman2]

Isn't Red Luigi pink? I don't think it matters if she's blue enough.

Red Luigi has red overalls though, and a red L on his hat. He has enough red for it to be his red costume.

Rosalina's main costume on the other hand can barely be called blue. It's not even sky blue, it's straight up teal. She'll definitely have a separate blue pallette swap.

 

[M23-X0]

I was thinking, what if the different colored Lumas was part of Rosalina's costume ? When we think about it, what happen when there is two (or more) Rosalina in battle ? We'll be confused about which Luma is ours. So,

So, I photoshopped Rosalina a bit for her different color (I sincerly hope that cosmic Rosalina will be present, and if would have love her original outfit) :

The Cosmic Spirit appears to be more bluish in color...

Frankly, I'd rather see Rosalina have a yellow palette swap, since we do need more yellow palette swaps.

In terms of the Luma colors, how that'll work out with the palette swaps might need to be worked on.

I don't think Biker outfit would fit with her moveset, but old concept art...
That's a great idea.

This is great! It truly is. The only thing missing is a Yellow Team costume. On a side note, I kinda hope they go that extra mile and tie up Rosalina's and Peach's hair when wearing their Fire Peach/Rosalina costumes (White and Red palette swaps respectively)

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Obviously, I'd use the black or red ones.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

What.

All of these are great options! I like the redish pink one the best.

And seriously...yellow team?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I decided to do an update to my palette swaps for Rosalina, using her artwork for Smash 4...

 

[SmasherCat]

The pink/light purple one looks the best to me. On a side note, I like the stars they put on the side of her dress.

 

[OmegaRS]

And seriously...yellow team?

Ah yes, please forgive me for making such a stupid mistake that a 4 player game would have 4 teams! Thank you for pointing it out so nicely too =)

No but seriously, why isn't there a 4th colored team for a 4 player game?

 

[Nintendotard]

No but seriously, why isn't there a 4th colored team for a 4 player game?

So that four characters don't pick four different colors.

 

[OhSnap]

i'd use that orange or green one, for sure.

Sorry if it sounded rude, I didn't mean it that way 0_o
And yeah, if all 4 people are on 4 different teams, then you would just make it free for all.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

So that four characters don't pick four different colors.

At this point, team battles should use team numbers, instead of team colors.

I wish we could do Team Battles like how they were Melee's Classic mode, where your partner just had a heart over them and had whichever color they wanted

Yeah, something like a heart, diamond, club, or spade icon might help separate teams as well. If all four players are using different icons, then it's a free-for-all bout.
