Since Sans costume has generated a lot of hype I think Nintendo/Sakurai is gonna use the Mii costumes to exploit more characters in future.
So, which characters do you think are exploitable by Mii costumes? Which characters do you wish or would you accept as Mii costumes?
I have already some thoughts but I want to hear your ones first.

I'm fine with any character, as long as they get the Sans treatment. That is, having a mask and not a hat. I like the Mii Editor, but some faces are just impossible to recreate.

I think Scorpion has potential to be a popular mii costume like Sans. He even has a mask to cover most of his face.

As for personal wants, I'd love to see mii costumes of Kyo Kusanagi and Quote for mii brawler and gunner respectively.

For the Mii Brawler I suppose. Well, why not a color changing generic Mortal Kombat ninja suit then? Maybe even male and female version. So everyone can recreate their favourite Ninja or make a new one.

If Geno can't be a full-on fighter, I'd be very happy with his costume if it got the Sans treatment. The costume in Sm4sh was so freaking ugly, man. As long as it looked like Geno, I'd be sold. Bonus points for some music, too.

Was it really ugly? :s i remember it being one of the most good looking ones (K rool and isabelle on the other hand were hideous) and i remember mii gunner moveset translating pretty well to what geno would do (unlike say, Skull kid and Ashley)

I really think that i would be very happy with mii costumes representation for characters that otherwise wouldnt stand a chance, as long as they did certain changes to how mii costumes work. My biggest issue obviusly is proportions. which is obviously the hardest to change. but i think that 3 fixed Heights/proportions would actually still be manageable, as it wouldnt be as bad as just creating 6 echoes balance wise.

The height difference doesn't even really needs to be that big and to manage different proportions i don't think it would be a problem to just upsize or downsize the head. smash prioritize gameplay over proportions and is not afraid of doing inconsistent proportions even in teh same series (put link and young link next to each other and you can see hor different their proportions are, and how big is young link)

Normal would be teh actual proportions that work pretty well for characters like Skull kid, Knuckles and even Isaac and some Final Fantasy characters when you want to replicate more teh sprite based designs.

Another proportion slightly taller, slightly bigger hurtbox, slightly longer reach and smaller head would work wonders for all the manga/comic/realistic characters, Black knight, Dunban and takamaru costumes would really benefit from this, and you can use them to add carthe blancha to fire emblem characters, Final fantasy characters, etc etc etc...

Also a shorter and bigger headed proportions like what we had before would fit more cartoony mascots, like goemon, Ashley or even Geno or other future potential additions like jack frost, bomberman, etc....

Second Customizable taunts, and costumes being sold with a costume designed taunt in order to inject a little more flavour to the otherwise dry MII moveset also would do wonders in order to make you feel like you are using your desired character...

Finally, I really want a mii Caster/wizard/Spellslinger character. An easy way to differentiate itself from swordsman and gunner is giving also a resource management mechanic similar to robin or hero's magic... I would love playing with Ashley, but if they give me a wizard ashley i think i would be happy with the costume. Same with Stuff like Black mage from final fantasy

Oh, and masks... instead of tehatrocities that are Krool, Tails and isabelle costumes

The move set is chill with me, but... yeah, it was really ugly. It was made well, don't get me wrong, but having his costume be more like Sans' (hiding the godawful Mii face with a helmet so it looks like Geno) would have been a better design choice. It's the costume's fatal flaw, honestly.

Geno's suit and hat were ok. Not perfect, but they were still good. The main problem was the eyes. Not a single eye from the Mii Editor looked good with the hat. Also, the skin colors. Not only they didn't fit at all, but Geno's head, like the rest of his body, is made of wood! It just didn't work.
So, in the case that Geno is not coming as a DLC Fighter, the Mii headgear needs to be a mask.

This is brilliant, and I don't mean just the Scorpion suggestion. A Mii costume is the best way to represent Mortal Kombat in Smash.

Have you heard the "leak" about Conker Mii fighter Costume?
Apparently the Mask will cover the entire face like Sans mask but will also be able to change expression. But there are no info about what kind of Mii fighter it will be. So it's much probably fake.

I'm not into leaks, but I can tell this is fake. That would've been shown at Banjo release video. Also, if they didn't bother animating the Sans Mask eyes, no way they're going to fully animate a Conker one...

If it happens though, Mii Swordfighter armed with a frying pan.

Only a few characters can pull off the look. Sans could because of his small roundish body type.

I think characters like Geno, Fawful, Tingle, the dragon quest builder protagonists could fit really well.

Also Professor Layton, I had a mii fighter of him the last time that looked really good. It’d look better with his official hat and coat though.

Can you tell me where you found that supposed “leak”, please?

Conker is a character that I desperately want in Smash. For real, to me he’s like the last missing piece in my roster (even if he isn’t exactly the only one I want).
While I’m aware that his chances are not exactly the most favorable, seeing him being disconfirmed like that would honestly make me salty. I personally find the Mii Fighters very annoying and quite unnecessary (sorry Mii fans).
Plus, unlike Sans’ costume, I can’t imagine the thought of a Conker costume looking anything accurate or natural. I can only imagine it being something as atrocious as Young Conker.
I’d be much more grateful if they’d disconfirm him as an AT, or even just as a simple spirit, with a BFD track or two, while they’re at it.

I doubt there's any possibility of it, but one character it would be fun to see referenced in some form is Segata Sanshiro.
The only options I could see being plausible at all would be as either a Mii Costume or an Assist Trophy, and I don't think we're getting more of the latter.
So, a high-quality Mii Fighter costume (with a full face mask) that comes with his theme song would be welcome.

I could also see costumes for Quote and Curly Brace working out OK if they went with the chibi designs.

that’s a really good suggestion! Is she from Digimon?
Yes, she is! And a new Digimon game has just been released for Nintendo Switch.
With OVER THREE HUNDRED digimons, her included. So it's not an unrealistic wish.
Getting more bold and assuming the Fortnite leak is real, I think she would be a perfect costume for the Mii Gunner:

Search for "Cuddle Team Leader" and find how she's one of the most popular and iconic character of Fortnite.

The characters from the Link's Awakening remake are small and cute. Maybe they could fit as Mii costumes? I'm imagining a mask for the Mii that uses the button eyes.
