Todays update is an idea from Smash 64. What happens when you have 2 Mario’s fighting? They’re going to be mixed up and people will lose track of which one they are, so they’ll need diferent colours. This was a fairly obvious idea and not that “omg cool.” It was expanded in Melee to colours other than the primary 3 + green to include things like Peach having a Daisy costume, or Doctor Mario wearing Black or Jigglypuff wearing flowers, bows and headbands. Well in Brawl they’ve expanded it once again with some rather interesting results.

<!--more-->
New Fire-Flower suit Mario.

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121b-l.jpg" alt="More like Sno-cone DK." />
“Yeti DK”

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121c-l.jpg" alt="Link....I am YOUR REFLECTION!" />
Dark Link from Ocarina of Time

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121d-l.jpg" alt="Samus with the Paint Explosion Suit." />
Samus fuses suit styles with the style of the Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion. Fuse fuse fuse.

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121e-l.jpg" alt="Dark Fox, Dark Link, I want to see Dark Zelda!" />
“The Dark Fox”

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121g-l.jpg" alt="Oh, dark zelda. Well that shut me up!" />
“Classic” Zelda, for the lovers of blondes. Also what looks like Dark Zelda. Certainly a theme of evil here today. Subspace involvment perhaps?

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121h-l.jpg" alt="If he's a fallen angel, why's he above the gold one?" />
“Golden colors and fallen angel colors.”

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121i-l.jpg" alt="Ike watches as the other Ike manages to impale his sword in his own neck." />
Ordinary soldier colours aparently.

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/technique08_071121j-l.jpg" alt="The other 2 snakes just can't believe how flamboyant player 3 is." />
New Camo for Snake. Doesn’t he know though that animal prints are Out?

Now this one carries more than a joke, but a confirmation…of Pichu not being in Brawl. Sakurai’s comment today, “Th-those… I?ve seen those before somewhere…” is him pointong out the fact that the goggles Pika’s wearing belonged to Pichu. The fact that it’s been given to Pichu, along with the pointing out means it’s pretty obvious Pichu is out.

Or Pikachu is out and Pichu evolved to Pikachu, whichever you like the sound of better. :)

Pichu evolved into a Pikachu with his goggles on, they expanded to fit his new overly sized head. >_>;

Also, I wouldn't count him out just yet, but it's more than likely Pichu is gone.

Also, I want my god **** Pikachu leprecon hat XD

Good enough update imo.

I love the fact that they're finally putting the Fire-Flower Suit for Mario :D
The Dark Link and Fox look pretty badass too, so does Pit's fallen angle.
And finally Snake's camos look awesome

Actually for mostly recolor they look nice, well probably because the character models themselves look better in Brawl then the previous installments. But Dark Link and Fusion Samus both look very good.

It should be something to do with SSE. I seems odd that there are so many 'dark' costumes. Then again alot of people like dark so....

anyways it's nice to see all these multiple costumes being used. 6 costumes is nice, however I thin this deconfirms any possibilty of a Dr. Mario costume. Golden costumes will be cool too. I wish Sakurai had showed us some PT alternates though.

There still is time to edit it, to be honest I'd actually like a Dr.Mario costume if they're kicking Doc out of the game, which is 99%, Even though he'd basically be the melee Mario now, but just the same as the Mario from brawl but with a Good tornado for recovery, considering Mario can't use his tornado for recovery anymore.

And yeah it pretty much does... There is still hope for one though!

Mic, I just wanted to say that your alt texts actually have me coming here to check updates rather than dojo. I'm always dissapointed when another mod puts the updates up.

FYI, red yellow and blue are only the primaries if we're talking about the color wheel. In computers, and light in general, the primaries are red green and blue, that's why the teams are those colors. This color philosophy is called the color spectrum.

So it's actually kind of misleading to say "primaries plus green", you can say "primaries plus whatever", since not every character in SSB64 had a yellow costume ;)

Think of Falcon. Purple, red/pink, white, black. With teams on, he also gets green and blue. No yellow B)

Dark Link, Blond Zelda, and Snake's color changes are definitely the best of this bunch.

That said, none of these color-changes are particularly bad. In fact, from this I can already confirm that color changes in this game will be far better than they were previously.

At first I thought this was a relatively useless update, but then the comment was made that this update may or may not have confirmed that Pichu is not in Brawl.

This is seriously bad news for a friend of mine, who has recently become a Pichu fiend...

As for Doc- I guess without seeing a Doc outfit for Mario, there's still a slight chance he'll be in. Although, with this recent update of Pichu probably not being in Brawl, I'm going to safely assume that Doc won't be appearing either.

Anyone notice that Sakurai said "about six different color variations"? That means certain characters could go above six, and maybe some below. Like in Melee, I expect more basic color-schemed characters to have more changes, like Kirby, Yoshi, and Sonic.

fox's costume is like the sexiest thing everr

also, about all chars having dark costumes hopefully this leads to a PT Team Rocket recolour & black yoshi :D:D:D

I want flying mario colors from mario galaxy.
I csn't wait to get Luigi so I could see his fire/flying colors.

I was hoping Mario didn't have the wario colors. I still think Wario might have them, but I wish they only belonged to him. I'm hoping for a Waluigi color scheme for Luigi!

Aren't Pikachu's alts the features of trainers in the games? He has Red's hat, Gold's goggles, and Brendan's umm... hat thingy.

My guess with the average Six colors is:

Red
Blue
Green
Gold/Yellow
Black/Evil
White/Pink/Pastel

And I'm hoping for more Team color choices... even though I know only the three are needed, having more would be nice. Even if Evil colors aren't Subspace used, an Event Match should bring them into play (like Dark Link in Melee).

Now I'm just hoping that Pikachu gets a few more after the three extras, Pika only having the minimum is just kinda sad.

Edit: To sceptilian
- While Red's Hat and Ruby's Bandana are there, Blue Goggles belong to nobody, definitely not Gold.

I say Pika will have one from the new diamond and pearl trainer. I hope they bring back his birthday hat thingy.

I don't remember Gold ever having goggles. The goggles belonged to Pichu in Melee...so I believe Pichu with goggles in Melee evolved to Pikachu with goggles in Brawl. Pikachu with Red's hat is the same one, and Pikachu with Brendan's bandana is Brendan's Pikachu =P. Regular generic Pikachu has been here since SSB64.

My hope following my own design of color ideas:

Red (Red's Hat - Gen 1)
Blue (Goggles - Unique)
Green (Ruby's Bandana - Gen 3)
Yellow (Electric Rat without anything else)
Black/Evil (Team Rocket Hat or Movie Clone Markings - Gen 1+2 or Unique)
White/Pink/Pastel (Berlitz AKA Dawn's Hat + Female Pika tail - Gen 4)

Oh, and Dark Link there is from TP, not OoT.
Huh, according to wikipedia, he's originally from The Awakening of Link.

And if you want to be picky, i guess the one in OoT was more of a Shadow Link than Dark Link. :/

A-whoops, sorry :D Maybe I've been reading the manga too much - I swear Gold had goggles in there.

Like so:

Oh yea, I forgot he was in Zelda 2. If i wanted to get picky once more, I'd tell you it was ADVENTURE of Link, not awakening of Link :)

Well, his design is definately from the Dark Links in that trippy dream/vision thing Link has in TP.

1. Manga isn't the Video Game, kinda wish it was, I'd love for (if the theory of PT becoming other trainers still has a chance in heck) Yellow to be somehow in, but she's Manga only.
2. While those are goggles, they are not the same style, and probably not the same color.

The Blue Goggles are like the Green Hat from Melee, outta nowhere in perticular, but fun.

I still believe in that theory too... Mainly covering the 3 Pallet trainers from FR/LG (Red, Blue, and Green). I hope for this for two reasons, its interesting and it'll be hilarious how confusing the whole Blue and Green name switch will be. ^_^
