Well, heres my take on Falco, I'll probably rework on it again later but feel free to use it for whatever reason:
Galacta Knight is never, ever gonna be playable, I'd like to have the option of playing as "him," and giving Meta Knight that option as a costume makes that possible?
And even then, Galacta Knight is so similar to Meta Knight that you could give him a similar costume without even making him a different character. I don't generally like the idea (because I have crazy OCD and I can't even stand nicknaming my Pokemon), but Galacta Meta Knight is something I've always thought would be pretty acceptable.
11/10 Great idea.

Maybe wearing Galacta's mask and a palette swap would be ok, but the lance/shield/wings would take too much time and not even counting that using a lance as a sword would look odd.
I would actually be beyond thrilled seeing a Meta Knight alt with white wings, pink body, and pink sword. An alternate costume isn't even necessary.
And if we can't have that, at least give Zero Suit Samus' pink alt green hair.
Why though? It's a nice way of showing models of extra characters without programming a new moveset. I picked Protoman specifically because he has similar proportions to Mega Man. And I agree with the Galacta Knight choice too.

Edit: An example I found:

Also the "What is wrong with you?" wasn't going for you, sorry if it looked like.
How would making a lance and slapping on smaller Pit wings take too much time? They wouldn't even need the shield since Meta Knight doesn't use one. That seems a little biased don't you think? You're ok with alt costumes of the same character but not of a different character, it would "take too much time" regardless.
Because no man, smashing a character inside another one doesn't sound right (maybe it's just me). How would you feel if Luigi was a Mario costume? I would feel really bad, even if it were Smash 64.
Where's the difference between that and having his own slot being a clone? You're taking the same amount of time anyway so...?
Hint as to why they are called "costumes" and not "let's completely change this character too look like another one with similar body proportions".
Cosplay.
Galacta Knight would have to play exactly like Meta Knight to even count as an alternate outfit. At least Wario is still Wario when he's wearing his WarioWare outfit.
But when you cosplay someone you try to look like him not be him/her.
And Meta Knight would just be dressed up as Galacta Knight, he wouldn't try to be him, he'd play exactly the same as before. That's the entire point of a costume.
I think this is mostly for fun. I doubt anyone expects us to get much beyond Male/Female alts for WFT, Villager, and PKMN Trainer, and then Wario's two costumes.
Meta Knight trying to be Galacta Knight would be Meta Knight shooting lasers from his sword and performing a multiple of moves that cover the entire screen. Simply having a different outfit with the same moveset does not necessarily make it a different character entirely.
I suppose they're different. Don't crush my hope Golden!
Basically, what you're saying is that Kojima probably promised Sakurai to fake obliviousness just to leave us guessing if he was planning on Snake, just like he'd ask of SEGA about Sonic until he was announced, and keep the secret longer for further involvement of the Sonic franchise in Smash, like other players, stages, blah blah blah. Sure, Kojima and SEGA would most likely leave it to Sakurai to reveal the characters since it's Sakurai's game, it's only common sense.I suppose they're different. Don't crush my hope Golden!
I will still argue that Kojima's response is vague. Like to the point where we can't make any assumptions. I for one don't think he's gone.
I hope not at least.
I didn't want to jump into this discussion, but I have to point out that none of your post is objective in the slightest and is just as much speculation and opinion as Wariofans.
He's just another Legendary Pokemon? He's not only the most iconic legendary Pokemon, but one of the most iconic Pokemon period.
Well it goes without saying that Kojima cannot outright confirm or deny anything because of a non-disclosure agreement. This is assuming Snake is in. So really, he couldn't necessarily have had a different response.
He can't exactly say no, but he couldn't say yes if it was true. Even if it wasn't true and he was leading people on he'd be in hot water. So he had to question dodge, by misleading. I think the interview is moot. He can't really say no comment as it's on his own nature to not do so.
Well if that's breaking your heart then let me tell you my love story for Snake.
